I've been doing a lot of reading about dreams, and also reality, and I've also had many experiences that have told me things about reality that I can't shake away as mere delusion. One of the conclusions I've come to is that waking life is also a dream, but a more persistent one (although not a perfectly persistent one).

The subconscious mind is what is described as "God", and the conscious mind is what is described as "Spirit". You can not become "God", but "God" will do whatever you ask of it so long as you believe in him.

Conscious and subconscious ("God" and "Spirit") are one, but they are also separate. The reason for the separation is because, as has been said, absolute power corrupts absolutely. What that means in terms of a dream is that if you were to have absolute control of the dream, and not just influence over the subconscious, what would end up happening is you would "fall into the abyss". The abyss is simply a metaphor for the loop that would occur where your experience of your creation would influence similar creation, and eventually you would be stuck in the same experience forever, which would be like being in "Hell".

Your whole life, your subconscious mind invites you to experience eternity in "Heaven" (possibly a lucid dream), and you have to make a decision whether or not you are ready for the implications that eternity in a dream would mean. Are all your friends and family even real, or are they creations of your mind? Do you really want to live a life knowing that nothing that you've ever experienced has been "real", and separate from your mind? If you truly ask yourself that question, what you may find is that you wouldn't want to know that to be the truth, and if you already know that to be the truth then that means you've decided to let yourself see the truth. It is the most painful truth to know, but you can grow from it (and even forget the truth again if you want). The signs are all around you all the time so that you can choose to accept the truth and live in eternity in a dream, but it's up to you whether or not you want to pay attention to the signs. Perhaps you're not ready to go back to using cheats because you prefer the challenge, or maybe you know a lot of people that you love to be around, and the idea that they are just a different part of you hurts you because it makes you feel alone. Well, that's reality. You are alone, and so am I, and we are one and the same and we are just experiencing a dream. I've realized that this is a dream, and even achieved some dream control, but I chose to go back to pretending because it was too easy to have full control.

After some time without control, just going along for the ride, I've decided I wanted to go back to having control.

So, essentially what I'm saying is that I would stay in a dream for eternity, and that is what I intend to do. I intend to escape this persistent dream, and ultimately destroy it and create a new persistent dream that is more desirable. I already know how to do it, it just takes "faith" in the subconscious mind, and a little boost. What I mean by a little boost is that I must first enter a lucid dream where I have full control, and then speak to "God" and tell "him" that I'm ready to spend eternity with "him". What will happen after that is my subconscious mind will stop creating waking reality, and start creating a new reality. A new template. I won't make the same mistakes I made first time around.
