Where do you wake up when you close your eyes at night?

Greetings everyone @eyeofthemind here with an interesting thought. We all dream yes? Yes. Now we may not always remember our dreams but we all dream. Perhaps when we don’t remember our dream it is because we have entered a world in which we don’t exist (but I’ll get to that later)

How many of you have flown in your dreams before? I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve flown in my dreams and I remember each one as it was yesterday. One thing I noticed in the dream was that although in this world I do not fly, in my dream it was familiar to me. Not only did I already know how it could be done, but I also had felt the sensation before.

When we enter what appears to be our dream world perhaps it is just an alternate reality. And we are waking up in a different timeline, one of many possibilities.

Haven’t you noticed that when you are in a dream, most things don’t need an explanation? You already know what to do, where to go, how to act. Your mind has already accepted the reality. Perhaps it’s because that reality has existed and you have lived it or are currently living it.

Accepting this, other worlds and things that we see in our dream do not seem strange at the time. It is only when we wake up in this reality or timeline where those things do not exist do we find it strange.

So I put this to you. When we close our eyes and sleep in this world, our eyes open up to our other lives.

Perhaps when we don’t remember our dreams it is because the reality we would normally wake in no longer exists. Perhaps in that timeline we have died. Or perhaps in that timeline our self is not open to the idea of alternate realities.

Hence no message can be sent or received, and what we see is darkness until we wake up. But all that sleeps must dream. So is it not possible that ourself may exist in another time and place and that self questions the world around us. Seeks answers and knowledge that cannot be obtained easily. Once our self in this or another world opens that channel of communication through thought and wondering, then can we be shown the many possibilities that exist in this world.

For how many times have you looked to your dreams to help understand your problems of today? I know I have.

So what do I think of all this?

Well, we are all connected. And I don’t just mean here and now in this present. But we are connected to all things that have ever existed, all things that exist now and all that has yet to come into existence. It is this that we are connected to. If we open our mind to this possibility, secrets, knowledge and wisdom may be passed on.

Think for a moment, if you refuse to believe that elephants exist no matter what. I am sure you will never see one even though it may be right in front of you all along.

That’s how powerful our mind is. Refusing to open ourselves up because of lack of seeing! Doesn't that seem an odd thing to do? First we must believe...for how can you see anything if your eyes are closed? No message can be received if you believe there is no message because you’ve never received one.

It’s like playing with a friend in youth. Why would a child play with you if you don’t want to play.
Why would messages and visions be sent if you don’t believe they exist or are unwilling to see them. Seek and you shall find. Let’s keep our eyes open and look for connection in all things. For yes, truly we are all connected. And the sooner we realize that, the sooner we can truly live together in a harmonious way.

an interesting and impressive article :)

Thought provoking and very enlightening words. @eyeofthemind, I wish I am a curator with a trail to upvote your works everytime. Good shot, superb philosophy.

Thank you. I appreciate that. Thanks stopping by and leaving some thought

Seeing does not necessarily have to be through the eyes. We should open up our hearts and minds and have faith. By doing so, we will start to believe.

Once our self in this or another world opens that channel of communication through thought and wondering, then can we be shown the many possibilities that exist in this world.
