A more interesting purpose to this thread, and what it sounds like you are looking for Rodrodrod, would be exploration of actions and methods for achieving this merger of waking and dream. I'm very curious, what you have been looking into in order to accomplish this wonderful goal?

Technical Sematics from my view: Waking and Dreaming are already 'merged' the goal instead is essentially this at any time:


Yes! that is the kind of thing that I had in mind. And that is essentially the goal I am talking about too =) It's about pushing the boundaries.

What I have been doing is essentially observation. I notice often a thought that appears only for it to be realized moments later, sometimes much later. One example: whilst on the bus pondering random things I begun to think about what it would be like for someone to go out and lose their shoes and the experience of being shoe-less in public. Almost immediately I look outside and see a woman getting startled by a guy. They start talking and the woman points to her feet to which she is wearing only socks and no shoes.
What I noticed from this is that either I created that experience for myself or I picked up on it. Or perhaps both. I had the experience because it was something already happening but at the same time it happened because it was something I had to experience and both exist mutually.

Other than this, I state in my mind like a game things that I would like to experience, just for fun and as I see them happen I try to be more specific. Example: As I was explaining this game I like to do to a friend I came up with something on the spot and said "I would like to experience seeing a woman walking a small dog". I wasn't even trying to show my friend, had no second thoughts about it, it was just an example. Like 30 seconds later we walk by a woman walking a chiwawa. As we pass her I just point it out to my friend and he just nods. Other things I try is thinking of a song, movie or even running into a friend. I've tried being specific with meeting a friend and instead I will see something that reminds me of them or they will suddenly call me up.
What is interesting from this to me is how some thoughts are more "powerful" than others. We probably think billions of things everyday, and certain things that we think only once sometimes goes and happens. I am trying to understand why is that so. Have no idea.

I also have the habit of writing down stories of fantasy for my own recreation on a book I call "Stranger than fiction" (which is a based on a movie with Will Farrell) and more often than not I find similar situations happening as I have written down. On one occasion I created a character with purple highlights for her hair and as I created this I also thought how it'd be like if a friend of mine did this. About a year later my friend does this. It's just very peculiar to me.
Something very interesting from this is the essence of Time. This is very different in relation to the dream world so it seems to be a huge factor as to why we can't immediately create an experience. We do however move through time at various speeds at times which is something very curious to me and I am trying to learn more. How can we change the experience of time if at all, consciously. Also why certain things we experience immediately and others not.

Do you think that before the humankind exists G was not equal to 9.81?
Do you think that gravity changes if population changes from a date to another? (if "we" co create the gravity, it should change depending on how many we are to believe that)
if it did, very many things would change in the universe.

by the way, how can few microscopic bugs(humankind) distributed in something as insignificant as a grain of sand (earth) , which is absolutely nothing compared to the vastness of the universe, could modify the reality? (the whole universe).
Do you think that the universe is also a dream of the big dreamer?
According to astro physicists, this big dreamer have very stable and balanced dreams if the whole universe is the result of his dreaming big brain.

The more I read and lean from sciences, the less this idea that we co-create the reality (I did believe that in the past) makes sens to me.
I don't think we are the center of the universe like that but we are an essential part no matter how minuscule we seem to be. Just like the cells in our body are essential for us to function so are we in the grander scheme of things as we effect our planet which in turn will affect the solar system and so forth and so on. There is essentially no size to things as things will stretch on infinitely positively and negative in relation to anything.
I can't say for sure but even now it does vary but that's also because of how accurate are our recordings. I don't think that the change is huge but there is change. Everything changes.
The change I am talking about is immediate change to our reality. I don't think that we would be able to overcome gravity completely as you are probably thinking because humans are negligible as a whole. But we could momentary affect it and we probably wouldn't even feel the difference.
I don't think there is a big dreamer overall. It's something that has no end. There might be a big dreamer in relation to us but then there will be a big dreamer to our big dreamer and so forth and so on.
The problem is that we can't explain things like the universe with words. We still try just because but essentially our most in depth form of understanding is that of feelings, which can't be subjected to the methodology of science.

It's quite simple indeed, how you feel, what you think, your expectations, you fears or confidences, and so on, all of those stuffs modify your way of reacting, your way of paying attention to something or someone, and it will lead to different reactions, it will lead to different observations, because you are more focused on such a thing, and less on another etc..

If you are frighten, stressed, you will attract strange and maybe dangerous people because of how you behave, movements, way of looking people, voice intonations and so on are example of unconscious signals that the people you are scared about will unconsciously detect.
Basically, If you are afraid to be a victim, you will behave like a victim and you will be more easily noticed by aggressive people.

Another example:

if you are driving in a big city and are looking for a parking space, if you are late and stressed, you won't find any one, it will stress you even more, and so on.
if you let it down, relax, totally accept what IS (Like Eckhart Tolle and other gurus explain), you will find one free very fast, not because a magical law but because your mind will be less occupied in wondering, and will be more likely to notice the free parking space.

Very many aspects of the law of attraction can be explained by psychological points of view.
I agree, we are all living in our own paradigm based on our individual experiences and how we feel in any given moment, so we'll see what we see. You just described how the "magical law of attraction" works so it seems you do agree with it but don't like the way it's presented. I never claimed that it is a "magical law" like you say but rather that "how you feel, what you think, your expectations, you fears or confidences, and so on, all of those stuffs modify your way of reacting, your way of paying attention to something or someone, and it will lead to different reactions, it will lead to different observations" (your quote). Don't you see how what you just said is exactly how the 'law of attraction' works, and the only thing it suggests is for you to consciously "let it down, relax, totally accept what IS" in order to experience life how you want and be able to "notice the free parking space". If you are positive, you will have a positive experience. Others will detect the unconscious signals like you said and you will experience what you wish to experience. Therefore you are essentially creating your experience as your intentions are affecting the outcome in the end (via unconscious signals).
