Breaking the Veil
"How much longer can the old hierarchies, this old civilization keep hanging on amidst so much grass-roots intelligence burgeoning all around us? Burning Man is a good example of just how much energy and connectivity is there - so much that it was overwhelming... and until I went I had no idea! I could feel it everywhere, the social networks, the people all talking with each other,
most of them all on this high vibratory wavelength. It's not a fluke, and it's not just because of Burning Man. It's already there. I compare it to the functioning of mushrooms,
which are merely the sex organs of this vast underground mycellia network.
This network grows, and grows, and it then reaches a critical point, where it then flowers.
I see the same thing now in what I recently called Counter Culture 2.0. The connections are so thick and complex,
that no manner of oppression can wipe it out now, except the end of life itself. "

Helpful Hints for Budding Dream Scientists
"The neurophysiologists determined that so-called REM-on neurons used the neurotransmitter (a messenger chemical) acetylcholine to send impulses to various brain regions, triggering arousal. Acetylcholine caused neurons to fire not only in the pons but also in parts of the cortex and in the limbic system, the emotional center of the brain. According to the researchers’ activation-synthesis model, dream images arise randomly from neurons that fire in these various regions. The sleeping brain tries to do with these signals exactly what it does in its waking state with sensory inputs: make sense of them."

Belief is an Omniverse Operator
"You may not remember, because you don't believe it to be real, you don't trust your imagination. But your imagination is your true self, it is the very key to your reality. You are told to believe you are limited, that you are a sinner, or just human, a worker, common citizen, or consumer. You are way more than all of these things. You are infinite incarnate. Only by letting go and loving yourself can you allow this belief to become true. Believe it and it is yours to have. "

Stephen Laberge : Waking The Dreamer
"The applications of lucid dreaming range from the poor man’s Tahiti,
the adventure and exploration and thrill part of it, to the mental rehearsal,
the practice, trying things out in the dream state that you’ve learned. You can
also develop motor skills or work on overcoming shyness, overcoming nightmares,
dealing with fears and of course there’s the mental health aspect of it that
might have extensions into a broader sense of health. On the basis of mind-body
experiments that we’ve done at Stanford using the signaling technique, we’ve
found that when you dream, you do something to your brain that’s as if you’ve
actually done it. So there are very strong relationships between dream content
and physiological response which we think could be used for facilitating
healing, facilitating the function of the immune system in some way."

How to Remember Your Dreams
"Remembering your dreams is the starting place for learning to have
lucid dreams. If you don't recall your dreams, even if you do have a lucid
dream, you won't remember it! And, in order to be able to recognize your dreams
as dreams while they are happening, you have to be familiar with the way your
own dreams work. Before it will be worth your time to work on lucid dream
induction methods, you should be able to recall at least one dream every
night." Link |

Podcast : Erin Pavlina on Lucid Dreaming.
"If you’ve never had a lucid dream before, simply listening to this
podcast may help trigger you to have your very first one. And the reason is
that the mere intention to have a lucid dream is often enough to invite a lucid
dream experience shortly thereafter"

'The Consciousness of Dream Characters'
"LaBerge: Another topic I wanted to ask you about is in this paper
(Tholey, 1989). As I interpret it, you are describing the consciousness and
abilities of dream char-acters observed during lucid dreaming. I find it a
fascinating series of experiments and a very interesting set of questions about
what mental capacities the other dream characters have."

 | Dreams are a language of the psyche, in which man’s nature merges in time and out of it. He has sense experiences. He runs, though he lies in bed. He shouts, though no word is spoken. He still has the language of the flesh, and yet that language is only opaquely connected with the body’s mechanisms. He deals with events, yet they do not happen in his bedroom, or necessarily in any place that he can find upon awakening. Seth / Jane Roberts

 | Dreams are illustrations... from the book your soul is writing about you. Marsha Norman

|
 | You wake up at Seatac, SFO, LAX. You wake up at O'Hare, Dallas-Fort Worth, BWI. Pacific, mountain, central. Lose an hour, gain an hour. This is your life, and it's ending one minute at a time. You wake up at Air Harbor International. If you wake up at a different time, in a different place, could you wake up as a different person? Fight Club

 | I am going to teach you right here the first step to power. I am going to teach you how to set up dreaming. To set up dreaming means to have a concise and pragmatic control over the general situation of a dream, comparable to the control one has over any choice in the desert for instance, such as climbing up a hill or remaining in the shade of a water canyon. You must start by doing something very simple. Tonight in your dreams you must look at your hands.Don't think it's a joke.
Dreaming is as serious as seeing or dying or any other thing in this awesome, mysterious world. Think of it as something entertaining and don't get discouraged or stop trying if you don't succeed right away. Imagine all the inconceivable things you could accomplish. A man hunting for power has almost no limits in his dreaming. The trick in learning to set up dreaming is obviously not just to look at things but to sustain the sight of them. Dreaming is real when one has succeeded in bringing everything into focus. Then there is no difference between what you do when you sleep and what you do when you are not sleeping. Carlos Castaneda

 | Hey, are you a dreamer? ..... Yeah....... I haven't seen too many around lately. Things have been tough lately for dreamers. They say dreaming is dead, no one does it anymore. It's not dead it's just that it's been forgotten, removed from our language. Nobody teaches it so nobody knows it exists. The dreamer is banished to obscurity. Well, I'm trying to change all that, and I hope you are too. By dreaming, every day. Dreaming with our hands and dreaming with our minds. Our planet is facing the greatest problems it's ever faced, ever. So whatever you do, don't be bored, this is absolutely the most exciting time we could have possibly hoped to be alive. And things are just starting. Waking Life

 | It is on the whole probably that we continually dream, but that consciousness makes such a noise that we do not hear it. Carl Jung

|
 | If ... we bear in mind that the unconscious contains everything that is lacking to consciousness, that the unconscious therefore has a compensatory tendency, then we can begin to draw conclusions-provided, of course, that the dream does not come from too deep a psychic level. If it is a dream of this kind, it will as a rule contain mythological motifs, combinations of ideas or images which can be found in the myths of one's own folk or in those of other races. The dream will then have a collective meaning, a meaning which is the common property of mankind. C.G. Jung

 | Many concepts, huge advancements and practical inventions, simply wait in abeyance in the world of dreams until some man accepts them as possibilities within his frame of reality. Jane Roberts / Seth

 | The assemblage point becomes very easily displaced during sleep. Dreams are totally associated with that displacement. The greater the displacement, the more unusual the dream or vice versa: the more unusual the dream, the greater the displacement.Sorcerers view dreaming as an extremely sophisticated art; the art of displacing the assemblage point at will from its habitual position in order to enhance and enlarge the scope of what can be perceived. Carlos Castaneda

 | All men dream: but not equally, Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes, to make it possible. This I did. T. E. Lawrence, Seven Pillars of Wisdom
