We are 'dreaming' even when awake.


When dreaming, my mind projects a world, which my eyes and other senses pick up as events happening outside of me.

When in the dream state the events are as real to me, as the events that happen to me when I am awake.

It is only when I change my consciousness to another dimension that I become aware that my previous experiences were only a dream, all my own mental constructs, experienced as real by my mind when in that dream state.

Mystics have proclaimed, through the centuries past, that our waking state is also, in effect, a dream phenomena of our mind.

Our mind projects images, which our body senses report back to our mind as the world existing outside of us.

Science has no proof that our minds do this. So this knowledge of mind's ability, to create its own world that is our wakeful life, is not as common knowledge as is the fact that the earth spins on its axis, rather than the sun going around the earth, as seen by us.

In that light, it is comforting to read that in his book, "The Promise of Sleep" William C. Dement, author and pioneer in sleep research says "To certain parts of the brain, there is no difference between waking life and dreaming life" [page 299, Delacote Press, New York]

In the ancient Sanskrit language, this phenomena of the mind, projecting images out as in a dream is called "Vikshepa."

The world that is thus projected is called "maya" which may be translated as an "illusion".

The whole process, from vikshepa, to creation of maya, to our becoming aware of the maya in our mind (which projected those imagers) is called "leela."

From my point of view, if I accept that I "dream" my life, I can develop the skill of "dreaming" of the stuff that I want to happen in my life.

I can accept that I am the creator of what I experience. I blame no one for my troubles.

If I accept I am creator of my life, I am free to create the life of my dreams.

I wish you joy and abundance.
