This Is Actually a Dream
You’re living in a story and it certainly feels real, doesn’t it?
You’d be hard-pressed to convince me that dreams aren’t “real”. When I’m in one, it really doesn’t feel like there’s anything unreal about it. I’m still “me”, which is a real enough feeling. Objects feel pretty solid in dreams. You might argue that things often don’t make sense in dreams but would you say that they make sense in this level of awareness? Would you really?
I was reading a book called A Field Guide to Lucid Dreaming where the authors listed levels of awareness in dreams. As I was reading it, things got weird, because I was experiencing so much energy in my current manifestation. I had the sense that things were changing or full of life beyond the perception of my five senses. The consciousness I am occupying felt full of possibilities. I kept reading, and on page 118, the book said this about levels of awareness:
Level One: No awareness whatsoever (…that it’s a dream)
Level Two: Slight awareness that you’re dreaming…
Level Three: You know that you’re dreaming but see things “out there” as separate from you…
Level Four: You know you’re dreaming and that everything “out there” is really “in here”; there is no separation…
