Astral or Temporal Landscape?
Posted: Thu Jan 17, 2013 12:27 pm
So when I have vivid dreams in various settings, I recognize them as traveling my own temporal landscape. I can pull meaning from them, and if I can remember enough, I'll write them down. Over the past couple years, I had suffered from sleep paralysis until I found that it was actually a service to me to breathe and relax under duress. The more I learned to do so, my dreams turned deeper into my subconscious, in so far as melting myself into physical objects, seeing powerfully lit, high-definition, multicolored stars in the sky, etc. They had a different quality to them, let's say.
Last night I had both a normal, vivid dream that I could take meaning from by symbolism, and another dream where, I suppose it was out of the hypnagogic state, I floated out of my bed to the left and stood upright. I could walk very easily, easiest as it's been thus far (out of a process that's kind of like learning how to walk again, but with different legs). I walk aroundside my bed and I see my door is creaked open and there's light shining out of it. I'm walking to open it when my head becomes automatically fixed on something I'm afraid of on the other side of my bed. Like the light was projecting something onto the floor. Without going into great description of what I saw there, I just want to note that I have, for whatever reason, had a fear of monsters grabbing my ankles at night whenever I walk to that side of the bed. It was just an image of my niece, on the floor, climbing a ladder with leaves wrapped around her. It brought a lot of things to my conscious attention as I awoke, as to the consequences of my life improving. But my question is, is it in the nature of the temporal landscape to be full of your own unconscious signals or roadblocks to help you deal with future matters that are probable in the timeline you are on (the niece in leaves could also serve as precognition of meeting a woman with abundance, and how I would feel about that).
As I'm typing this I feel these are the characteristics of being more lucid in the temporal landscape. But I was "there" more-so than in any other dream, so I didn't know if it was more akin to astral-travel, let's say, given the different quality to it. Any thoughts would be helpful. Thanks.
