Thread: Merging Realities (Waking & Dreaming)

This is true, awareness is important. That said, awareness tends to our habits. What do we have a habit of being aware of? That births our reality. Habit exercises remove the burden of constant CONSCIOUS awarensess. After pushing to build a habit it now becomes a constant UNCONSCIOUS awareness. No effort needed, it is an engine that is always on. That is the theory behind the practice.

That said the mind can wander aimlessly even in our best efforts to remain focused. It's almost like consciousness is Super-ADD and this is whether we 'dream' or are 'awake'. We think the story makes perfect sense only because we are easily distracted and prone to assuming normalcy. We might think: Oh, I'm with my friends from highschool and we're on a rocket ship with Van Halen? What a normal cool day! Anyway, I hope there's food I'm hungry. Or maybe we could think: Oh, I walked through that wall? What a weak wall! I better fix it though, maybe my ex girlfriend who just showed up out of no-where might help me.


Think about it though, if we didnt have issues with the mind wandering, everyone would be able to lucid dream easily 100% of the time. It would be as easy as holding the minds focus on the dreams of choice as we drift to sleep. (Not that we need to sleep to lucid dream)((Also maybe it really is that easy and we are just deluding ourselves into thinking its not LOL))

Honestly, I dont have a solution to your question, yet it is a wonderful question. Maybe the answer lies in what DOES capture our attention for extended periods and how? For example:

Stories
Movies
Videogames
Beauty
Tasks
Etc...

When thinking about it like this, we may be able to find something that will allow us to anchor our attention in the correct spot with enough persistence and fortitude to make shockwaves of dream-change in reality.
