Wanted to share some experiences from my dreams

Archive
1

The past few months, my dreams have changed drastically. Where it once was personal unconscious stuff, related to daily life or people from my daily life. Now, its something else entirely. The environment, the energy, the people.

Last night I was in some outdoor area, it was night time but I could still see from the moon light. I was walking around, observing, and I noticed a woman curled up seeping on the ground. I started to sweet the ground and noticed there was all these small colorful objects all over the place, but there were dusty and hardened. I realized they were some sort of fruit or candy. The lady started to scrape them on the concrete floor, to clean off the hardened shell. I started doing the same to help her. She looks at me, and we started to communicate. Her energy was very kind, very inviting. She was speaking in a language I couldn’t understand, and I told her I didnt speak her language, but I still felt the desire to try to understand her. Then, I saw what I thought was a flame on her forehead. It was pink/orangeish and seemed like a cartoon overlay, clearly separate from the realism of the environment or the woman. When I saw it she said “ohhh Chi?” “Yes!” I said “Its chi” “You see Chi?” “yea, that’s what Im seeing, chi”

Then she asked me my name, and instead of giving her my physical name that I was given at birth, I gave her my soul name which I received a few months ago. When I received this name, I knew I wasn’t meant to share it with anyone. But in this dream, I told her. As I was waking back into the physical world, I was confused about why I shared it with her and got slightly nervous about it, idk why, it was just my initial feelings upon waking.

These sort of things has been happening for a while now, ever since I started reading CC’s books. My assumption was that maybe my subconscious is using the material from the books to open my imagination and give a new medium to my dreams, but there’s many things within the books that are the only things I’ve ever come across that explain things Ive experienced since I was a child, in dreams and in waking life.

I was also dead asleep the other night, and I heard a voice ask me to sit upright and meditate. I responded with “Im trying to sleep” Then I saw a vision of my crystals on necklaces pulling towards my window. The voice said “Come on! Sit upright!” “Oh I see if it past 3am?” “Yes!” it said, so I sat up, looked at the clock at it was 4am. I got in a lotus position in my bed and meditated for a few minutes before I went back to sleep.

It was really strange. Right after that, I started to travel into viewing parallel lives, and there was a scene Where I watched what seemed like cells dividing. I was immersed with a feeling that wasn’t my own, and I heard a voice say to another presence “Oh wow that’s a really strong connection” And I got excited, the excitement brought me back into my body, and before I opened my eyes the voice said “Don’t get overwhelmed with any emotion, you have to learn to control them.”

Ive noticed my senses are coming online in dreams more and more. I can smell and taste now, and hearing and touch is way more sensitive. Ive only seen my body from outside a few times, always from a corner or a mirror. Each time my eyes in my physical body are wide open and it scares me to death so I wake up gasping for air.

Very cool dream records i got useful information from your recollection

Interesting experiences are not the primary goal of dreaming. I put together a condensation of don Juan’s 4 Gates Dreaming instructions that were presented in one of the earliest books Castaneda wrote, Journey To Ixtlan.

https://reddit.com/r/castaneda/w/dreaming

Meaning 4 Gates Dreaming, was properly introduced all the way back in 1972.

Something that people conveniently skip over.

Notice that don Juan is very strict with Carlos, and admonishes him not to dwell on the content or vividness of his dreams, but on control (or attention/sobriety).

Thank you! I’ll take a look at that.

I’ve not intended to practice when I picked up his books, I mainly found interest in them because they help me understand some of my life experiences. As far as my intention, it’s been to absorb the experiences Carlos describes which helps me find a bigger purpose to my own life. The dreams I’ve been having I’m not attaching to them by any means, simply curious.

You’re pretending your sorcery.

You have a chance to change, but not if you keep this up too long.

Pretending magic by misinterpreting your dreams is one of the traps used by fake systems, like “Astral Travel”.

But Buddhists, Yogis, the Jewish Prophets, and Daoists also pretended ordinary dreams into magic.

Claiming they’re “visions”.

Carlos never put up with this because it leads nowhere.

He would have stopped you halfway through your first sentence in this post.

Even Cholita felt his wrath once or twice.

And she’s now an amazing witch. But only because Carlos and the witches didn’t let her get away with anything.

You have to find something “impossible” while you are fully awake, with your eyes open.

Otherwise, it doesn’t count.

At least, for men.

For women, anything that causes them to put in a sustained effort is good.

But that’s because they can already move their assemblage point.

While men can’t.

You’ll fix it so hard up at the blue line with magic pretending, that you’ll never escape.

You’ve mistaken my gender again from a post. I am a female. Not a male. I am not pretending anything, if you read my comment above, I stated my intention wasn’t practicing anything, or claiming anything. I’m simply sharing differences in my dreams after reading Carlos books, which I then stated that I only picked up reading with the intention to gather information from his experiences which relate so much to my own.

There’s not a single claim in my words towards sorcery. I even stated that my assumption was my subconscious mind was picking up material from the books and using it as a medium for my dreams, that in itself says a lot.

I believe this community isn’t for me. I enjoy the artistic freedom to express experiences in both the physical and dream world. This seems like more for followers towards one particular gate keeper.

I wish you all well :folded_hands:t2:

Also you spelled Taoist wrong. There’s no D in Tao

8

U got to understand how this sub works: Sorry, but we aren’t interested in the content of your dreams.

9

We can’t let people with outside agendas build up in here, or the place would turn to shit in months.

Like all other “magic” subreddits are.

It requires constant policing.

If you’d studied a bit here, you’d realize it.

If you find yourself in an accepting community, it’s fake magic.

Women aside.

They can make fake magic work, but it’s not actually the magic doing that.

And 7000 have flowed through here since I came.

I can’t possibly keep track of who’s who.

Unless they begin to do well.

10

Depends on where you go.

It’s not written in english, it’s Chinese Kanji.

How you spell it here in our country, depends on which bad guy imported it to try to trick westerners out of their cash.

I sure hope you aren’t trapped in that nonsense!

It’s a total fraud.

The universe is NOTHING like what Daoists claim.

But it’s fun in Hong Kong Kungfu movies, or at temple festivals in Chinese countries.

11

Yea I suppose I misunderstood when I originally joined the group. I wasn’t aware it was controlled with an intention of some sort from another. My apologies. I’ve removed myself, not with any negative intent but I simply have no desire to follow any fixed path unless it’s from my own desires, and my desires change as I live through life.

12

I don’t understand exactly what you mean by “fake magic”. To me dreams are art, and tools to help one navigate their lives if they’re open to it. To also be able to create rather than just consume and live blindly.

Magic is in everything in my opinion, including real human interaction. I’ve noticed the amount of time you in particular spend on this sub. Before I dip out, some advice for you would be to get outside and enjoy the sun and fresh air :sun_with_face: you might enjoy it.

13

No I’ve not met anyone in person who claims to be a Taoist, never even read a book over it, much lest spent money on trinkets. I learned of the term from a dream and then researched it later. Ended up loving the messages I got from meanings of their way of life.

14

He spends a lot of time here because he’s one of the very few continuously practicing students of Carlos left, now saddled with the burden of keeping the knowledge from being lost to time and bad intentions.

This path is one of a specific set of techniques meant to help transcend the confines of “consensus reality” (a perception shared and mutually strengthened by the attention of 8 billion+ human beings) which we forcedly became prisoners to at a young age. We learn from the content in the books and lecture notes that this common perception of “reality” is an infinitesimally small slice of all that is out there. So our outlook is that sorcery practice is not simply a means to help one “navigate life” and find “spiritual inspiration”, rather it’s a method to move outside the oppressive confines of perceiving a single cohesive reality to perceiving everything at large. And what could be more important than that??

15

I’m not saying that it isn’t important. Fresh air and sunlight however is. But that aside, to me it’s a different genre of other views and practices. Just like religions. If you study quantum physics, or reality shifting (new age shit) there’s oddly similar accounts as well as practices that are simply missing the hue of the native undertones and aspects of the teachings of Don Juan of sorcery.

All paths leads to the same source. These things aren’t hidden, anyone with a strong enough intention can find their way to the realization that this reality isn’t the only one, and that you can shift into higher consciousness, higher vibrations and preserve your energy through mindfulness practices. Some past life regressions are just parallel lives that are simply 30 minutes behind, where one actually takes a few steps in a different direction and dies. But their vibration and ability to follow their inner guidance system shifts them to move more with the spirit and avoid a death, resulting in more “time”.

16

Have you ever read the four agreements? The Toltec way of life? It’s the same song, different genre. But there’s clearly a lot of cult like energy here and it’s not the vibes at all I feel when reading the books. So where I’m sitting it seems that if these are teaching straight from Carlos, it may have been filtered through a mind with different fantasies interests and intentions. A dirty vessel so to speak

You seem to be a sucker for con artists trying to steal your money with pretty sounding words.

Any magic you’re experiencing is just from being a woman. Women have power.

But until you get clearer about what constitutes “magic” you won’t get anywhere with it.

When I start practicing at night, fully awake, eyes open, completely sober, I travel physically to at least one real, alternate world. Usually 3.

I visit with perhaps 4 real spirits, which can be shared with others, and are completely visible.

They can move solid objects.

I get visits from up to 3 real witches. The real being, really there in my practice room.

I don’t do anything asleep, or in meditation.

It’s real “in your face” magic that even beats the special effects in movies about Dr. Strange.

Stuff far beyond that written about the Buddha, Daoists, Hindus, or even the Jewish Prophets.

And that’s because it’s from before money.

From before bad men started making up fake magic and religion, in order to steal money.

It’s from before money, before agriculture, and before cities.

Thousands of Olmec people studied solo for thousands of years, taking on one or two children as apprentices.

Never ever made up anything.

There was nothing to gain by that.

Nothing you know of as “magic” can trace itself back to that kind of origin.

It’s always a con artist at the heart of it. Even if the con artist lived 2500 years ago like the Buddha did.

And how do you know I don’t get any fresh air?

I get up at 4AM, go jogging at 5AM, gather sunlight glitter at 7AM, take walks all day long, and generally work around 12 hours on various projects before going home to see how Cholita is doing that day.

She’s a crazy powerful witch who needs help to survive.

As far as getting out, I can jump physically and land on the other side of the universe, on an alien planet.

Not in meditation.

I just jump.

Sorcery is REAL magic.

So treat it with some respect.

This is the only place you can learn the real thing.

If it weren’t, I wouldn’t put all this hard work into protecting it.

Why?

In case you didn’t notice, no one in here makes money from their efforts.

Also unique.

You can’t find a magic subreddit where someone didn’t do it for money, and that’s the only reason it’s still around.

To trick people out of their cash.

Greed is what’s out there.

None in here.

In fact, we get beaten up weekly for trying to preserve this place.

Such as right now.

You just spent an awful amount of time explaining yourself to me, a stranger on the internet. Validating your point through words of magical experiences and trying to assume I personally have spent a dime on any amount of insight I’ve gathered in my personal experience of life.

The fact that you stated all of the crazy magical things you’ve done, which is also in your Reddit bio, says that you may not be after money, but appreciation? Validation? Praise followers? I’m unsure. But it’s not the energy for me, and I’m sorry that you’ve gotten to this point in needing to feel something from re reading your own words.

It feels as though you’ve been triggered and for that I say you’re welcome, now maybe you’ve been guided to something to look at for some inner work. I’m just a girl in the world. Endive enjoyed however this interaction. It’s brightened my day. I hope yours gets better :heart::sun_with_face:

19

What’s your intention behind all your travels to other realities?

20

Humans can’t be happy without the unknown.

It’s very simple.

Just look around.

How old are you anyway?
