Thread: BEAUTY

I've had maybe a dozen experiences like that in my lucid life. Sky so blue it hurts! Flowers incredibly bright and beautiful, sunshine warm and soothing, nice gentle breeze blowing.

Experiences like that make you feel it's great to be alive and a lucid dreamer.

I know exactly what you mean. I have had a few dreams like that as well. I am not artistically challenged, but it seems that everytime I try to draw or paint the scenery...it just doesn't compare and I get irritated with the whole situation. Makes you wish you could video tape your dreams, huh?

Exactly. That would be awesome

I've experience the same 'heaven scene' a few times.

The scenery is brilliant and inspiring. But it's more than just the scenery...in my dreams there is this feeling of ....I dont know...etherial divinity. A completely new and astoundingly wonderful feeling of peace that i don't think is possible to experience in this life. And, in my case, it almost hurts to waken from dreams like these because I know such a feeling of supreme serenity can never be achieved in waking life. Well, can't be achieved as far as I know.

But I always wonder if such a feeling does exist. Or is it only a product of my imagination...that heavenly feeling of peace.

Thats exactly how I felt. A sense of peace i have never before experienced until then. It was like for 5mins, I was in heaven. A peace one day i hope to dwell in forever. Just think, if the whole world was covered in the serenity felt in the dreams, what the world would be like.

There is one forest that I find myself in that makes me feel that way. All of the trees have silver leaves and they wave and shimmer in the wind, similar to the way cottonwood tree leaves move. It makes a wonderful sound, similar to the way leaves rustle but metallic. The leaves fall off of the trees straight down, even if it is windy. It looks like its raining little silver leaves. The forest floor is completely covered with the leaf litter. The sky is usually swirly and tranquil. It's really pretty if the sun is setting or rising because of the orange light that reflects off the leaves. It's really amazing what your mind can create. I keep trying to get back there whenever I go lucid, but I can never seem to get there. I went lucid there once, but the dream faded quickly

You know, the degree of Ecstacy experienced often does not directly correlate to exactly how the aesthetics (impossible of quantitative assessment in any regards) would ordinarily be appreciated. For instance, my most ecstatic dream experience occurred in what was a sand quarry along the rail yards just outside of town, full of truck ruts and discarded rusty containers and broken down machinary. There was one particularly beautiful mud puddle, but that was it. But what delivered to the scene its overwhelming Beauty was the shimmering of my Consciousness at the time.

But, yes, Dreams of Lighted Vistas of obvious aesthetic appeal do occur, but they only occur to the Spiritually Minded, and that as some kind of Consiliation for whatever they may be suffering from in Life. The Dream Mind knows that not everything can be about the ordinary drill and lesson of the typical didactic series of dreams. Once in a while to tave off discouragement and burn-out the Dream Mind presents a Reward... a taste of the fruit, a glimpse at the prize.
