Itnetlolor, are your dreams really that full of meaningful content or you are just great at analysing random images cobbled up by your unconscious mind?
It gets weirder than that. I do believe I actually live them. In every one of these dreams, I have full interactivity with them. All senses active. It feels like I literally jump between different lives; past, present, and future. That, or I am somehow/somewhat able to share minds with alternate histories/timelines/versions at such vivid detail (like I said,
all senses, from the usual 5 to the kinesthetic 6th+ senses (to give it a more solid number, upwards to 10-12 active senses, or a few sub-senses added to the standard ones, from infra- to ultra- on some of them in sensitivity; which means in some cases, in the dreams, I can easily use infrared vision, provided I don't have contact lenses or glasses on to obstruct the vision they receive (kinda like how you can do the same thing to such cameras, and read nothing behind the glass screen; kinda a reason I preferably don't wear glasses, even though I have a prescription pair of my own. Despite clearer vision, I actually feel like my vision is worse while wearing them, despite the corrections being applied.)).
For what it's all worth, if I could recall my memories, and motivate myself to do artwork again, I can try to render as much as I can recall from the most interesting or recent full-detail dreams I get, and maybe even log how I went about things. My memory of some of these (sometimes) recurring dream(worlds) is so vivid and clear, I can illustrate the technology to a schematic, more as to how I would normally break down anything else I see, and even illustrate maps of locations; working best if I actually have read one. Unfortunately, some of them are written in languages I don't believe exist on our very own world. Not to mention, some of the physics behind some of these things will make the most hardcore physicist cry. I mean, in some cases, I've wielded a gun with a quantum clip/magazine. Standard pistol/rifle, same scale bullets, but somehow a standard sized clip/magazine can fit 600+ rounds of ammo inside no problem without compression. And yes, sometimes I do forget to reload (similar clips that abuse physics). To compensate for raping physics like that, there's still some limits to these things, like for example, you don't want to break these clips/magazines while they're in full stock of bullets. They're like frag grenades taken to 11 when the singularity container recoils. So yeah, extremely bad idea to smash these things while they're full. Let's just say I tried doing that before. Thank God for immortality over there, it fucking hurt. Furthermore, thank God Freddy Kreuger really doesn't exist; that would have been a hell of a mess to clean up IRL.
In summary, I am rather enlightened by my dreams. It feels like the theory of infinite probability, or my nickname for it being the "Infinite Universe", in full motion happening before me. Kinda makes you think about existence itself. What if in some cases of life itself, we're interacting with past or future versions of ourselves as entirely different people?
After all, an eternity could be spent in multiple lifetimes, sometimes, stuck within chunks of time as a form of punishment or choice. You could be running into yourself from thousands of years in the past or future, and be completely unaware of it since you can't recognize an old form from such a long time ago, not to mention, how'd you know what form you'd take afterwards in such an amount of time as well? And this could be within a window of a century, regardless the amount of time spent. Just because your spirit is that old, doesn't mean you weren't chilling out within an era you favored within that whole time. Then again, I tend to look at time from a more lateral perspective much the time. I mean, it's not so far-fetched to spend an eternity in a tiny window of time. But that would mean that one person could contribute to a massive population of people merely existing. Ever wonder how so many people can be like-minded at times? They could all be a collective consciousness of the same one person, in spirit, spread across many lives. Some how Orz *fingers* come to mind when I think about that.
ADDENDUM:
When I mention time being viewed laterally, I'm not kidding. I can sleep for 4-10 hours, and live out entire days, weeks, or even years in my dreams (if you ever get that feeling like you've done a marathon and have difficulty getting up, at a (Sub-/Super-)conscious level, you kinda did), though in most cases, time-compression takes effect, and everything reverts to real-time, thereby kinda wiping some experience and memory of the dreamscape. It's like a real-life version of Inception or a preview of Heaven. However, pulling a Willful-Override on a dream (a stage above simple lucid dreaming) is pretty tricky, but with mastery of it, can allow for that level of depth diving on a regular basis (sometimes, I forget I do it at all, and trip myself up at times). In a way, you can sort of consider it like willing yourself into a coma, or "forging a death certificate" when you dream, allowing for your consciousness to extend to depths like I tend to often reach. Of course, it's a bit of a trip, and if you can pull it off, can make you have such a deep level of sleep, you can sleep through World War 3, and even draft yourself in it
IDL. Speaking of which, if you can go all-out on your senses, and extend the time you spend in the dream world, without compromising your sleep time in the real world (imagine your waking life like the polar opposite of the dream life and vice-versa; I've fooled my body into thinking it went on a 32 hour day (16 waking hours, and 16 sleeping hours (8 IRL, and 8 IDL); feeling like 8 hours of sleep in both planes of consciousness)), make use of that time-extension to practice your skills, or skills you otherwise had no opportunity to learn, or prefer to learn in absolute privacy.
If dream experience can translate into RL experience, then imagine what you can learn or teach yourself; and relatively speaking, in such short a time? Pardon how long this post got.
