30/04/2025 Theory LIFE IS LITERALLY A LUCID DREAM Before you read this, I recommend going through my previous post “ARE LUCID DREAMING AND ASTRAL PROJECTION DIFFERENT.” This post heavily builds off that one. Thank you. “The All is Mind, the Universe is Mental.” "The All" refers to all that is — in another sense, GOD — not God as a being, but as the totality of all creation. Hermeticism, quantum physics, and many other spiritual and scientific traditions suggest that the universe is mental in nature. One big mind fragmented infinitely into smaller minds to experience itself from infinite perspectives. Sounds familiar? Kinda sounds like what happens when we dream. Hermeticism, Buddhism, and other ancient traditions speak of reality as an illusion — a dream. This theory echoes today in the form of "simulation theory," which modern science increasingly supports. They distinguish two perspectives: absolute truth and relative truth. - Absolute truth: the perspective of The All — life is a dream. - Relative truth: the perspective of beings within The All (us) — life is real. Both perspectives are valid. After understanding this, I began to have profound realizations during my lucid travels. I once touched a tree in another dimension, and a cascade of thoughts instantly flooded my mind. They formed a kind of equation that logically led me to a truth — a realization. I began to understand that what I was experiencing (a lucid dream/OBE) was a fragmentation of my waking mind — and that to the dream characters, my waking mind was "The All." Within that state, I was able to explore infinite landscapes, meet infinite beings — some less conscious than me, some far more conscious. This dream world, a fragment of my finite mind, was somehow infinite. How can the infinite be born from the finite? Simple: “All is in The All, and The All is in All.” We live in a fractal holographic universe. Hermeticism, ancient traditions, and quantum physics agree: a fractal hologram is a projection where every part contains the whole. Zoom into any part, and you'll find the entirety of the image. That’s the universe we live in. And the infinite universe exists within us in its entirety — accessed when we dream. So what does that say about waking life? If we extrapolate this theory outward, we find: life is also a dream. --- I had another out-of-body experience. I was hanging out in a village, chatting with the locals (and a few beautiful women), when I told them this wasn’t base reality — just a dream. Usually, dream characters either accept this or don’t care. But this time, they denied it — called me crazy, reacted exactly as people would in waking life. That baffled me. They *swore* this wasn’t a dream, even though it *literally* was. I sat with them and began philosophical conversations. I realized something important: you can’t convince someone they’re dreaming just by telling them. Unless you display dream control — like flying — the only other way is to plant thoughts through spoken words or writing. Sound familiar? I began asking them questions, nudging them toward their own realization. Some resisted. Others started to ponder. I saw the seeds being planted. Over time — generations, perhaps — those seeds might grow into full understanding. --- Bringing this back to our world… Our history is filled with stories of miracle-workers and divine beings — Jesus, Buddha, the Anunnaki, Hindu deities, Greek gods, and many others. These were lucid dreamers of this realm. They spoke of reality as temporary, as illusion — and of a return to our true home. They encouraged us to awaken. “Buddha” literally means “The Awakened One.” They spoke of becoming in tune with God / Source / The All. That’s what happens when you become lucid in a dream: you remember you’re dreaming. You reconnect — partially — to The All. From the perspective of the dream characters, you *are* The All. And you begin to perform miracles — shift dimensions — depending on your lucidity. The ancient texts left behind do the same thing I found myself doing in that village. They plant seeds. They grow with your consciousness. They reflect your level of awareness with each read. Regular textbooks don’t do that. And now, quantum physics is catching up. Ancient wisdom already understood what today’s science is barely beginning to glimpse. These beings — the miracle-workers — were lucid dreamers. And like lucid dreamers, they varied in lucidity. Some were benevolent, others malevolent — just like in dreams. It’s not just about realizing that life is a dream. It’s about realizing the *nature* of dream itself. Some lucid dreamers do terrible things because they believe the people in dreams aren’t real. But if you're exploring infinite inner worlds filled with beings — some far more intelligent than yourself — how can you still believe they don’t deserve respect? The universe is within you. And the entire universe also exists within every dream character. Characters like Jesus or Buddha could’ve controlled others’ will — but didn’t. They understood we are more than imagination. Other stories, like those of wrathful gods, tell of beings who used dream control but lacked the embodiment of truth. That’s why many spiritual figures said: “You can do what I do, and more.” Your dream characters are just as real as you. They continue to live in the realms you visited — long before you arrived. Separated by a barrier of space and time, some may remember you as the alien that burned their cities. Some may worship you as the divine figure who brought miracles. Some may remember you as the philosopher who planted the seeds of awakening. And in our own history — we have examples of all three. --- We also have metaphysics — the core principles of self-transformation. These teachings are literally instructions for how to control the dream of life. They mirror dream control techniques. The only real difference? Time. Every dream has its own rules for time. This dream — our waking life — simply stretches it longer. But that means one thing: **We can become lucid here, too.** It might take time. And deep inner transformation. But maybe… that’s the whole point of this dream. And the next.
