Every time I think I'm getting closer to understanding reality, there's 1 thing that doesn't fit into the puzzle: Dreams.
The only theory I've ever come up with that actually explains it, is that the dreamer is the "real me" trapped in this illusion of a world.
That's the answer isn't it... To escape the Matrix my dreams have to become more real than this world?
I'm afraid to face that conclusion, because if that's the answer then I'm so far away from it.

Dreams are the tide that lifts forgotten symbols from the seabed of waking life, where the mind loosens its grip on reason and lets meaning speak in masks, riddles, and echoes, so that what cannot pass the gate of daylight may still be known by reflection.

When we sleep we enter a pool of consciousness and a sort of mental energy is captured as fuel and its fundamental to the multiverse existing.
I don't think its malevolent, bacteria and fungi allow life to exist, are they slaves?

yes
what we call dreams are the memories we retain in waking life, memories from the "true" reality perused by the brain, on quotes because it doesn't mean it's a final reality, just the one preceding physical reality. we are always dreaming, even when awake, but our brain, and body senses makes us focus on physical reality. you don't have to make the dream more real than this reality, but it would be an interesting exercise either way. research and practice lucid dreaming if you can. see what works for you. we are not trapped, unless you decide you are

what really boils my noodle is the concept of dream solipsism
Honestly I don't care what people believe, and I think the why is more important, as my personal beliefs are subject to change as I try to keep an open mind.
With that said, all our lives we're told believing in solipsism is generally frowned upon and we're told it's wrong, but we're also told our dreams aren't real, and with never mentioning the phrase dream solipsism that is the belief that is actively encouraged. Why is one form of solipsism encouraged while the other discouraged?

I am getting so agitated by my dreams. I am trying so hard to become lucid in them and failing.
Dream me doesn't even feel like the real me, they do stupid shit I would not do, care about things I do not, goes to places and talks to people I wouldn't. Its like they've forgotten something important about themself and act like a flimsily clone. I very very rarely wake up feeling "hmm I was in a strange dream" but instead I feel like I watched some film about me that someone with a poor understanding of me tried to write.
Its so agitating. I fill my conscious awake mind with all the things I want to dream about. Even just vague locations and feelings. I do LoA about it and even pray about it. I've also been doing lots of reality checks too. And nothing happens. Dream me is still as ignorant and retarded as every. It makes me feel that dreams are NOT apart of you or your subconscious. Its the only explanation why I can't seem to influence them in any way. I just don't get it.
Sometimes I even get "contextually" lucid dreams. Like its some meta story where part of the dreams story is my dream self becoming aware of it being a dream. But its all contained within the dreams plot so I don't do anything that the conscious me would want to do at all. I had recently where I started telling everyone it was a dream. And that was it, I just wandered around telling people that. I woke up feeling so fucking stupid like it was right there and somehow my real conscious lucid self couldn't take over.

It depends on what type of “Dream” you are having, but basically it’s your consciousness traveling out of your body to other dimensions or the non-physical realms.
There are plenty of people that have seen future events in their sleep, people that have had breakthroughs in their dreams, your attention goes where your awareness flows.
There’s a very interesting book called Journeys out of the body. By Robert Monroe, you’d enjoy it, OP.

For the purpose of this conversation, we must commit a small amount of blaspheme.
Acceptable yields.
If you think of the concept of God as a massive omnipotent complex being, you can consider the operation to be of serialized flow chart, parallel and decentralized, and everything in between. An omnipotent being would likely not waste a single exertion of their effort or resources.
Let's say whatever the mechanism in this Universe is, that functions as God, made your brain, a Turing Complete bio computer.
Then, let's say this omnipotent power knew, that YOU, the observer, don't use ANY of your potential compute during sleeping.
Ergo, God, not wanting to waste resources, can render other works, via the unused compute potential of your brain.
The bulk leaks right out of your memory.
When you dream, you are doing passive compute for a higher order being.

Dreams are your twin self that work in partnership with you. Pay close attention to your dreams and you will notice that they display a viewpoint and personality of their own that differs somewhat from your waking self, yet which understands and supports you. Until you do this, and grow to understand your twin in turn, you are incomplete, essentially half a person.

It's how the subconscious processes the sensory information accumulated through life.
It's the only time in the day when we come into direct contact with the subconscious mind which is several times more powerful than the conscious mind and is part of the wider collective subconscious in which all things are immortal (the divine/demonic/undead).

Some of the places inside of the dreams are so good and heavily connected to emotions and feelings. These feelings can faintly be felt (although sometimes mood changing) by just recalling that dream place. Some dreams are probably tens of years ago still quite vivid in memory. Anyone else experienced this?

Stimulation of the right temporal lobe. Highly active during dreams. Also ghost sightings and epileptic seizures. Possibly also religious experiences? Hemispheric priority shifted during dreams: consciousness mediated by the right hemisphere instead of left. Very few people clearly see text, read, etc in their dreams, inverse phenomenon of very few people clearly experiencing right-brain psychic phenomena while awake. While awake, right-brain activity is relegated to the subconscious, and consciousness is mediated through left-brain activity. Roles are reversed during dreams, which is why they speak in archetypes of the collective unconscious.
Interesting fact: dolphins and whales each sleep with one hemisphere at a time. Must be a wild experience.

Just had a dream that was ALMOST lucid. Barely there but man I was so tired that I could barely even give a fuck anymore. Instead of exploring it or getting actually lucid I just used it as a bit of a reprieve and a bit of a break and it kinda makes me smile a bit.
Been very busy. Lots of being held hostage by a narcissist who deeply tied themselves to me. It's incredibly draining and overall soulcrushing to have someone so corrosive tied to you at your waist because of legal drama and bullshit from family.
Weed has been studied to affect your brain to keep it from going into REM sleep but when it gives you dreams they're psychedelic without being psychedelic in my experience. Just abstract and like you're looking at yourself in third-person like it's a game or a cutscene in a bigger one.

I was incredibly close to a girl I loved but she had to move away for family reasons and we fell out of communication somewhere in the mix. I don’t know why I didn’t ask her out. I don’t know why I let her slip away. I still think about her daily.
Recently she has been appearing in my dreams. Sometimes we are in a happy relationship. Sometimes we see each other the street but it’s a fleeting moment. Other times she is aggressively trying to communicate with me.
I think our souls are touching and she is trying to communicate across the distance. I just feel it.

I’m getting sort of scared. My dreams are episodic. I leave my waking body behind and replay someone else’s memories in some other place/time. What’s alarming is that lately I’ve been zoning out during the day getting random flashbacks to these places I’ve been visiting in my dreams. There’s a big house somewhere in the middle of nowhere and it’s unlike anyplace I’ve been to in this waking life. Sometimes there are other people (family?) there, other times not. I have a bad vibe most of the time and don’t know why. Are we living multiple lives and forgetting each one temporarily? What makes us recollect these things seemingly at random? This isn’t some gay larp. I’m not suppressing dark emotions or shit like that. Something isn’t right with reality and I can’t be the only one experiencing this

Little drop on dreams. They can be influenced by things and certain agencies for some reason. Pictures, sounds, imagery etc etc. and if you are ever a target certain groups can make you dream about certain things. I used to think I was making my own dreams to dissociate and fall to sleep by blacking the bad shit I've been through out. But it turns out people were either giving me these dreams or could see them or something. Very weird.

Here is the truth you have been looking for: dreams connect you to the collective unconscious and allow you to peek into the divine and inner soul you have. In a sense, it is your more truer self. But what is the importance of it? Well, in dreams you can be honest. What do you have to hide? Go out and pursue that truth and see where it takes you.

>>41898068
i'm afraid it's just simpler than that. your body needs time to be repaired so your mind retreats into itself while the body is being repaired. there are likely multiple consciousnesses within our brain. the 'we' part is the one sleeping.

Why can we see light in our dreams? That's a question I've had. One time while I was awake, I was laying in my tent watching something on YouTube. An image appeared in my mind and it was a black background. I was standing on top of what I'm assuming was the earth and my eyes were normal at first. Then the backround became this colorful static and my eyes became colorful static like the background. I felt as if I was being sucked into this image in my mind and pulled away from it because it scared me. My heart was beating, I had never experienced this before. I had never run away from an image in my mind like this, I've never felt like I'd be sucked into my own mind and that I'd be lost in the image and never have I ran away from a thought or had my heart beat in genuine fear of an experience in my mind. An intuitive feeling connected this experience to the way gravity works. Gravity is only observable when there is mass in space and I understood that my body and mind were an anchor for consciousness and that my mind functioned like a radio that receives radio frequency except it's consciousness that's the frequency and my mind the receiver. For the rest of the night I felt as if I was floating in this pool of static consciousness, as if the material world were an illusion and I was in 2 worlds at once. I felt like an anchor for this infinite static consciousness, like I was floating in an infinite space that was using me as an anchor for the material experience. Like a planet floating in space attracting gravitational force. I felt like I understood something that I maybe shouldn't have. It felt like the dream was using me to look back at itself. You know how some people talk about the dream creating the dreamer? That's how it felt, that's what it seemed.

During the waking the mind is bombarded with abstraction which distracts from presence. During sleep, the mind reintegrates the abstract chaos the day imposes on the waking mind.
This is why meth addicts scream obscenities at no one any time you find yourself needing to be in proximity of major metro areas where they shamble the streets like zombies screaming into the void of their delusional psychosis brought about by refusing to follow the circadian rhythm of a regular wake-sleep cycle.

>his body quickly degenerates to a brain, eyes, nerves, and gnashing teeth

I read through a few half dozens posts that seemed genuine. Perhaps I read those because they agree with my stance, haha. But before I explain, I'd like to ask one question:
Do (you) dream in color?
My dreams are always monochromatic in either red, grey, amber, or (rarely) purple. I hope to dream in green some day.
Here's what I think dreams are: Dreams are a conference between the subconscious mind, the collective unconsciousness, and the universal unconsciousness. These so called minds cannot speak the language of the conscious mind. But the conscious mind can learn to interpret the symbolism. I borrow a lot from Jung, Lao Tzu, and Jodorowsky in my interpretation of what dreams are and the symbolism that accompany them.
Subconscious mind = your animal brain, your soul, and the immediate people, flora, and fauna around you.
Collective unconsciousness = ancestral memories from the first proto human to the first single celled organism and beyond. The current Earth, the past Earth, and the future Earth. Perhaps the solar system as well.
Universal unconsciousness = the named and the nameless.
The best way I can visually phrase it is that the conscious mind is a rowboat upon an infinite ocean. When we dream, we see shapes, ripples, and all manner of fantastical things just below the surface. It is when we stick our heads into the water to get a closer look that we can begin to see the origin, meaning, or symbolism of what these so called minds want to share with us.

dream is visions.
they are views from the past and the future they some fo them are alt future and at past soem of them are past life or future life]

>>41928772
>Do (you) dream in color?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FK2VyG7yzJw
I do sometimes. And actually I think we all dream in color more often then we realize. One time I was trying to recall a dream, and I would have sworn it wasn't in color at all, until I remembered a part of the dream that focused on color (like there were several objects and I had to grab the orange one), and suddenly I realized the entire dream was full of color the whole time. I just didn't remember it.
>These so called minds cannot speak the language of the conscious mind. But the conscious mind can learn to interpret the symbolism.
I agree with the first sentence, but not the second one. I don't think that subconscious part of us operates symbolically either, at least not in the way our minds would interpret it.
Although I do think it's easy to confuse it with symbolism. Like say you feel trapped, so you dream about being a bird that can fly away. I don't think your subconscious is saying "this bird symbolically represents my desire to be free", I think it's more like the experience of being free is related to the imagined experience of flying.
So it's about experiential relationships to things, not really symbolic ones. The 2 concepts can be quite similar, but I think when people start to believe it's symbolic they turn it into something more cerebral rather than experiential, and start missing the actual message because they're focused on some technical symbolics
But that's just my take on it.

He said dreaming is the reality and waking life is an illusion placed over it like watching a movie projected on a canvas sheet. But the movie takes a lot of energy so it can't run all the time that's why you sleep.

I don't know if I totally buy that explanation. I do think there's something to the idea of dreams being more real but if it just "takes energy" to run it and they can't do it all the time, then why not just have fewer people to begin with?
And for that matter, as more people have been born into this reality does that means our dreams have gotten longer or shorter to compensate for the change in energy needed to run it?
Like the OP said I think there's a lot of ideas that a very close to the truth, but nothing that seems quite right

Let me ask you. Do you believe in all this doom stuff we keep hearing about?
When you hear people saying ww3 is going to start, or that the economy is going to tank any day now, or the energy grid (or communications networks) are going to go down, or market supply chains are going to come to a halt and you won't be able to buy anything.
When you hear those things do you believe it?
In other words, is your soul dwelling in a place of anxiety/dread about the future, and people having to "survive" and fend for themselves?
What comes forth from the soul (such as dreams) depends on the place that the soul is dwelling in.
Is your soul being conditioned by the so-called "wisdom" of the world of flesh, or are you reaching for higher truths?

Like last night I had a dream where I went around a few places but whenever I dream there is one part (usually at the end) that always sticks with me last night for example the only part of that dream I rember was i was a child on epstien island watching a fucking play with him. So why is this inportnat to the look into the other reality idea. Well the end parts of the Dreams are the reason why you went into that reality the answer you desired even if it is quite abstract you looked into that reality for a reason

It's just your subconscious talking to you. Once you get the message they stop coming. Practice dream yoga.
It's no different than a random wandering thought or vision flash during the day, its just the time that isolated neglected part of your mind has enough agency to grab the mic while everything else is asleep. Illucid dreams are basically schizophrenia.
>>
>>
>>41933061
I'd say it's probably not enough to just stop thinking about it, but to actively encourage the opposite view. And not just to force oneself to believe in better things, but I mean to actually find a place within oneself where it is a certainty, not a belief, that we are more than meat puppets helpless to the whims of others.
I'm only saying this because once I personally started to realize it, truly realize that life IS supposed to be better than this corrupt state of being, then my dreams started to become really amazing. Like if I fell off a cliff I would fly back up to the top instead of falling, or if I was about to get attacked by a dog I just stare at the dog and it moves away instead of attacking.
It feels like a deeper part of my being has started to reject the negative dreams, because I've started to actually know within myself that my state of being should not be helpless.

You might as well ask: What the hell is that slime coming out of my nose? Because basically, it's pretty much the same thing. Dreams are a bodily product. Your brain emulates a wake consciousness during deep sleep so that it can wake up again. If it simply "switched off", a lot of living beings would die completely randomly in their sleep because they could accidentally fall asleep "too deeply". Dreams protect the brain from dying during sleep. They have no other function. Interpreting them is therefore as futile as trying to interpret the contents of a snot-covered tissue - at best, you'll get a vague overview of your own health and constitution. Sometimes it looks scary. If something is wrong with you, it looks even scarier. If your perception is disturbed in your wake state of consciousness or if it has to endure a lot of stress and pain, this will logically also be reflected in your dreams. You may occasionally have a "precognitive" experience in your dreams; this is due to the consistency of reality. And of course, this is also a bit "magical", because, as we know, this reality is based not only on science but also on magic. Everything in this universe is dual or it does not exist. You have to sleep to be able to be awake. You have to be awake to be able to dream.

>It makes me feel that dreams are NOT apart of you or your subconscious. Its the only explanation why I can't seem to influence them in any way. I just don't get it.
relatable.
I have a theory that this might be learned helplessness. I remember when I was very young, I would try to imagine my favorite cartoon or videogame characters acting out some scenario, but they would always trip and fall or fail in some way and I wonder if this is because I watched too many cartoons where the protagonist always fails, like Wile E. Coyote or Dexter from Dexter's Laboratory.

Fun fact: niggers don't have dreams nor do they appear in dreams.
Start listening to the gatewat tapes if you want to become a lucid dreamer. It's the only thing that worked for me. Wake and back to sleep method only makes them more vivid for me.

Wait a minute, what the fuck you're actually right. I've never had them appear in my dreams a single time, I can't think of a single instance where I've seen a black person in my dreams in my almost 30 years of being alive LOL

In particular the bottom half, where it describes how your dreams can in fact be influenced by you. I think the problem is simply that the real you is not the "you" that you think it is.
>I have a theory that this might be learned helplessness.
See how the linked post describes the realization that you should not be helpless, and that leading to gaining autonomy over those dreams.
In other words, dreams are not trying to teach you to be helpless, they are revealing the sense of helplessness that you (and everyone in this world) is trying to cope with as "just life".
It's the waking world that's trying to condition you into helplessness, and your dreams are merely reflecting that the conditioning is working. If you stop believing the world, stop believing that life should be a struggle, that paying taxes is normal, that going to work/school is normal, that having to do things you don't want to do every day is normal, then you start to break the conditioning.
And your dreams will then begin to reflect it as well, and you will no longer be helpless in your dreams.
