Gravity school to lucid space flight

Activities and questions before the dream:

The dream experience:

I am walking down a hall in a college-like high school and remembered that I forgot my books in a class room. Suddenly, back in the class room with students in it, I'm feeling awkward, with a hazy memory. I'm looking for my books and sort of disturbing other students. Not finding my books, I leave the classroom and feel lost as I glance at lockers where I think the books might be.

Then, looking out over the edge of a roof on the top of the school, I decide to go for a little leap into the air. I fly a bit, by building up this energy from my solar plexus, and land back on the roof. A few scenes later I find myself back on a higher roof and start to think that I am dreaming, although I am not 100% convinced it is a dream. Fear builds inside me as I consider running off the edge of the roof - what if it isn't totally a dream? I run toward the edge, jump and fly - it is fully a dream!

Flying over exquisite green terrain, i gaze at the landscape below and think - wow that is incredible, the landscape is impeccably detailed all the way down to individual plants. I marvel at how the mind can render so much information, while at the same time allowing me to marvel upon it.

I'm thinking that the only way this is possible is that I am not rendering the information on the other sides of the hills and my mind is only rendering where I look or focus my attention - which I have complete control over. Then, I quickly come to realize that my gaze itself is actually creating the landscape!

This voice says "doubt is gravity" and I think to myself, yes one can fly in dreaming by overcoming doubts. I choose to fly super fast, to totally go beyond the doubt. The energy builds in my solar plexus muscles as my will intensifies and instantly accelerates me to extreme speeds - faster than light. A close male friend joins me at my side as a witness.

We end up jumping into what feels like an entirely new dimension. Seeing what I'm imagining as the dust of the stars all around me, I peer out upon a myriad of tiny stars in the distance. I recognize that the stars are very far away and I'm yearning to get in them and closer to them - but somehow I realize I'm unable to and doubt builds.

Then the gravity of the earth begins pulling me back as i glide through the earth's atmosphere, the witness and I come to high mountains below us. Then we consciously choose to go into them as the lucidity of the dream fades. We begin climbing the mountains, yet I'm maintaining a view of the mountains from above.

Illumination of the dream:

I awoke at 5:30am with the dream fresh in my mind and began pondering it. Being in school and feeling lost has been an ongoing dream theme of mine that i've increasingly wanted go beyond. I recognize that around the age of 30 - 16 years ago - I made a conscious decision to cut way back on my book reading. For me the domestication of our mind, via educational systems, books and dominant culture was limiting my soul's innate creative brilliance and i was not going to have my indigenous mind and life force domesticated out of me.

As i sat there and pondered my dream, i posed the first question - how do i want to use the dream? My answer was to grow and better myself and my life's work. Oh, so perhaps my internalized belief that domestication will limit me IS limiting me. Certainly i want to apply my breakthroughs with dreaming to the domesticated world (via my efforts with a business plan) and my dreamer is showing me, first and foremost, what is limiting me from creating the life of my dreams.

I then got online and started researching books and resources about agile team management and 3D rendering systems. Both of which are central to my business plan. In my dream i was thinking about how the brain could "render" the terrain detail, so my dreaming is inspiring and guiding me in understanding how to integrate 3D software with our activities. Also I recognized that where ever i looked in the the dream is rendered before me by my gaze. This implies that the lens we bring to dreaming and perhaps life itself is directly created by that lens. The implications are paradigm busting and central to the development of Enlightened Science going forward.

Flying into the stars totally reminds me of Jill's dreams, such as this one - there is something about star dust - perhaps it too shall be a superpower or some new yet unimagined category/functionality. Interesting that the physics of gravity is translated in my dreaming to that which holds my psyche and inner potential back. Very exciting all this is!
