Awakening while dreaming at night

[Davino]

For the first time in my life, I've had an Awakening while dreaming at night. This has been a very new experience for me, the intensity and medium of the experience/consciousness state/ mind landscape, was very different, the mechanics were more fluid and powerful.

I remember Leo speaking of this possibility in his video outrageous experiments in consciousness. I'd like to know if more people have experienced an Awakening while dreaming at night.

PD: I'm not talking about dream work or any other tangent, I'm talking about insane levels of consciousness and if that happens in aggregate with other aspects like classic lucid dreaming then share.

I had another weird experience (not an Awakening), when I was a teenager. While taking a nap I lived a parallel life for many years. When I woke up from that 30min nap, all soaked in sweat, I was so shocked and depersonalised. I was traumatised for the next two weeks, paranoid I would also wake up from that life as well and had no ground to keep my sanity.

It was an extraordinary life changing experience, but not an Awakening per se. Well I did awaken from that life/dream indeed

What exactly is an awakening? What does it entail? Based on your posts, I gather it's realizing you are a god. How do you realize that?

[Davino]

@Breakingthewall No it wasn't a God Realisation, that's much more than Awakening.

For me an Awakening is the discovery/breakthrough into a new radical high state of consciousness.

This one was an overwhelmingly fluid and overflowing perfection

Then you mean deeper perception of existence. Like a new possiblity of perception that was closed for you now is opened or is starting to be opened

You could say it that way yes

I like Awakening because of the connotation that you feel extremely Awake/Aware (meaning high consciousness)

@Davino I had many vivid dreams and long dreams as well. I totally relate with the notion that you are so bought into the dream to the point you take it as full fledged life.  This is what blows my mind about dreams..is that as you are going through the dream you seem to be totally immersed in it to the point you take it as the one and only reality there is ..you don't question it..you just live the experience fully..it doesn't even occur to you where did I come from or where is going ..you just carry on with the story as if it's obvious whats real ..same thing is happening with this life isn't it?

One time in a dream I smoked dmt and may have had an awakening but it was so brief that it's really hard to say .

@Someone here Same thing, dreams don't need to happen in the beginning, they may start at whatever imaginary point in time with a whole coherent back story. There's really no reference frame for reality other than reality itself, every moment therefore is the only self evident truth.

It probably was, Dreams tend to not be stored in memory

I was  flying in my dreams last night inside a mall. Mall is so Beautiful!

. Yes exactly that's what i tried to say . Also in a sense all there is is dreams.  Things don't really exist unless you dream them somehow.  I know it's hard to make sense of it but if you really get it it frees you of lot of suffering..but will also create solipsistc philosophical questions but round and round we go we need to just accept what is true and self evident and can't be broken down to anything more fundamental.

Words can only convey an approximation of meaning, not the meaning itself. It that vain, I've had a few  'awakening' experience in a dream/sleep state; these experiences of awakening were unsolicited and completely distinct from dreaming - including 'lucid' dreams. There was a deep intuitive understanding of the true nature of self, it was like a peek behind the curtains so to speak - a bit like Dorothy, peeling back the curtains in the 'Wizard of Oz'.
