I am reposting ... especially after discovering the delicious Tim Freke. Although something tells me that he might not think the term delicious as descriptive of himself! Ok... provocative and awake!

Reality or Dream or Both?
The Question is put forth:
Are we dreamed? And if so, who or what is dreaming us?
I assert that SOMETHING ELSE may be dreaming us. That something else is The Source, All That Is, and it dreams us into BEing. It dreams (or manifests) a multitude of "dream projections" so it can experience all that these projections experience and assimilate. And it is doing so RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW.
Perhaps... nothing is real in our perceived reality... it is all illusory. There is no You, there is no Me. There is only The Source Dreamer. That we BELIEVE or PERCEIVE that we ARE... is due to the illusory power of the "dream" which we a part of.
When you dream (during YOUR sleep cycle) do you not create? Do you not create and interact so realistically in your dreams that often you wake and are CONVINCED that what you experienced in dream time really occurred? You then spend a good part of your waking day trying to verify your experience or you operate as if it were so? You can't tell the difference between what is "real" and what was "dreamed".
"As above, so below..."
So... who's to say that what you are experiencing RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW as your reality is not being dreamt as a part of a larger dream?
Interesting contemplation isn't it?

And to think I didn't discover Tim's Lucid Living until today! Enjoy this taste of Timothy Freke (credited with inspiring the author of The Da Vinci Code) below:
Hi Bill, No I haven't, but I am seriously considering the idea! It seems like a great way to really explore the dream that we live. There are so many layers to the dream, and many layers to the dreamer (us).
It's all us. Us dreaming us - it's just on what level. It gets quite profound!
Thanks for the comment and the reminder!

Have you ever tried using a Lucid Dream to explore the bounds of reality? The farther I've gotten so far is to use the state of Lucidity to do Deep Trance Modeling of another person. That is sorta fun. So far anyway. I guess it could depend on who I model.
