I was taught how to merge with an astral being in a dream (by my mom lol)

[Carl-Richard]

It's impressive what sleep deprivation and cramming the day before an exam can do to your dreams, if that's a potential explanation.

The dream basically consisted of my mom trying to show me this invisible creature that was learning how to walk on a tightrope. At first, I couldn't see it, but then as I applied deep focus, I could start to see a faint outline of their body. The more I focused, the more I became aware of them, but their body was still extremely subtle and translucent. It was as if I had to slowly and through great determination unlock and train a second pair of eyes to be able to see them.

Then the weird thing happened where I was attempting to "merge" with them, not physically, but telepathically, where I would literally become this translucent silhouette of a being for a moment, experiencing walking the tightrope from their perspective. After a while of intense concentration and psychic determination, I managed to do so — I became the being walking on the tightrope, and it was an incredibly euphoric experience.

While being in this other form, I still knew that I had a second body, but I just wasn't currently operating it, or I was temporarily plugged in to this other experience. It still felt as real as my other experience, and it felt like I had achieved some marvelous feat and broken through preconceived notions of what was possible. It makes me wonder if this very thing is possible in real life, with the right level of dedication and practice.

might be off topic but what exactly is a dream existentially?

^^^It is possible. Do some research, it's possible....because it is already happening. Spiritual Work is becoming conscious/aware of what is already the case. So it is already the case, you can just become conscious of it.

Dunno, but one hilarious thing I ran into while reading about sleep is trying to explain what the hell is going on during sleep paralysis in a dry scientific way:

You emerge from REM sleep. You're awake, kinda. You're perceiving things in reality, but you're still in a dream-like state; you might experience a sense of panic or terrifying hallucinations, and you can't speak or move because your body is still experiencing the muscle atonia from REM sleep. So are you really awake or are you just dreaming? Is reality a dream? 😆

@Carl-Richard reality is not a dream .dreams are parts of reality . You can't define the whole with the part .
