In my waking state I have been doing a sort of perspective shift through meditation. As I go about my day I take my perspective or consciousness and place it into the food I'm preparing, my pets, my children.... and I try to see what the world looks like through their eyes. I use my dream consciousness to shift my perspective in waking life and know that I can see the situation from any of these perspectives because they are me they all came from my subconscious to create the dream. For Example: To be the consciousness of a carrot. You fill your mind with the essence of the carrot. Know that you came from the ground, that you are a brilliant orange and how the color orange makes you feel, happiness, creation. As the carrot I feel grounded and bright like I stand out visually after taken from the dark nurturing mother earth. I feel like I have clear vision (carrots are good for my eyes). I take pleasure in knowing that so many people enjoy my simple sweetness and I love to be admired in a sea of other veggies that are also for filling our journey and purpose to be consumed and our energy to be filtered through multiple other perspectives that will once again be birthed through mother earth. I do this same technique through the day with just about anything that strikes my thought to do so.
The idea of shifting my consciousness came to me in a dream I had of a lighthouse and I became the light with in the light house and all that the light touches. The most eyeopening dream of my life but now they are happening more often. What I have come to notice is in my dreams of late have been very scattered then I realized it's because I'm seeing the same dream from multiple perspectives at the same time. The clear light dream of the lighthouse and the light dreams I have had since are telling me that perspective is the key to understanding everything. Becoming the perspective of light is clarity. Our dreams are a gate to understanding and practicing in a free of ego state that allows multiple perspectives within the same consciousness simultaneously.
