Traveling to alternative dimensions...

[JosephKnecht]

Have any of you "traveled" to alternative dimensions that are similar to our physical reality?

These dimensions can be more advanced than ours but could be based on similar understandings of reality. 

If any of you have an interesting story to share, please do.

I often do in my dreams and I write down some of them.

Thanks for sharing.

While you are in the dreams, do they appear as real as living reality? 

How do you interpret your dreams from your present experience?

Do you perceive the dreamworld to exist as an alternative timeline that you temporarily access or you interpret it as a product of your own imagination?

They do seem real if I don't become lucid. It's only afterwards that things seem "off". If I do become lucid, they're not quite as solid as waking reality. It's weird to be aware of how you're making it all up... It's exhausting in a way, but only if you're trying to change things. It feels like swimming in myself. Still pretty new to all of this so it's difficult for me to draw conclusions.

I just intuitively know what my dreams mean when I wake up. I'd say they feel like a projection of my mind that helps me become whole, balanced, mature... All the good things :-)

It's a common viewpoint that the waking self is dreaming the dream, but if we examine direct experience both the waking state and the dream state appear to the very same subject. 

Being that Self in which the entire waking state appears rather than just the character that is part of the appearances, is who/what you are and is commonly referred as the True self.

Any appearance in any state simply cannot be you,because you know all the states - they appear to you. 

This is not necessarily relevant, but I wanted to share with you my clarity on the matter before I lose waking lucidity about my true identity beyond the waking. 

We all are the Absolute, there is no other. It is not an achievement to be That, it's a statement of fact. Directly observable fact. I deem that pretty important and meta, I hope this helps. (not for the individual, but for the awareness that knows the entire state in which the individual is only a tiny part.)
