Thread: A Lucid Dreaming Journey: The myths, true or not?

Hello, fine people of the internet!
I was thinking after one lucid, where my subconscious was showing me this big machine with things called like "y-sector" and i think "b-sector" and I got to thinking

What if I go on a journey to delve into my subconscious, and partly my unconscious, and figure out the truth of what we wan't to know the most

Why do we dream and do you, subconscious, have mystical powers?

So, starting tonight and for however long it takes I will record my Lucid Dreams pertaining to this and try to go to the surface with my subconscious and ask her simple questions first like "Who are you?" "What do you think of when you think of me, the dreamer?" "Do you have a partly conscious mind like me, the dreamer", "Can you feel emotions?" stuff like that.

If things start getting scary (i dunt lieke scareh) I will be open as possible.

Hello! I think this sounds like an excellent idea, I've always wanted to try something similar to this myself but I suppose I'm simply not skilled enough. I once spoke to a dream character who told me he was my subconscious, but he didn't have much to say. The key to beginning to understand some very fundamental questions like "Why are we here?" "What is the true nature of dreaming" and "Is life an illusion or a dream?" could lie within the subconscious mind of a particularly gifted individual. I personally believe that the subconscious is as powerful as our highest potential. If you do happen to learn something from your subconscious, it would be a true gem of wisdom, as the subconscious can be very elusive. Another question to dwell on is, if it was possible to communicate with something as powerful as the subconscious mind, don't you think it would attempt to contact you? There would certainly be much to gain from such a connection.

Last question, well I have a tight relationship with my subconscious. She is very.. interesting.

She never comes to me directly in LD's but when I get her we talk. Alot of the conversations were meaningless, or I just don't remember them.

For this journey I am trying to listen to everything she says.

I think if you hold on to the position of infinite love you will not have to be scared of anything. Because everything will just love you back

Cool idea. I've done a number of shamanic journeys which I believe are of a similar nature to what you're setting up here. In the journeys, I would always go in with a goal, "Show me stuff around _____" or "Teach me about _____". Because dreams seem to come from a more emotional/experiential/image-based realm, you may want to allow your subconscious to express itself accordingly. My biggest "lessons" were always experiential in nature, rather than being word-based. The dream/subconscious/unconscious would take me on a journey to answer my questions. In some, where words were involved, I couldn't hold on to the words when I woke up, but could still feel the effects of the wisdom conveyed. You may not get direct logical answers, but it will teach you as it can. Good luck!
