Hi Trisha, Good questions! From my perspective as a human being, everything in my dream was both symbolic and substantive. It seems like part of me wanted to explore my greater abilities as a multidimensional, vibrational being of aware energy, or consciousness. As I mentioned in the dream, it seemed like it was meant for me to have this experience so I willingly decided to go along with the plan. I didn’t know where it would take me but, it seemed important.

As far as “dimensions” or “levels or reality” are concerned, I can only guess at what they mean. Is one dimension of reality more or less important than any other? I don’t know; to me, they just seem unique and different and we can move from one to another with a thought. In this experience and many others, all I had to do was think about something different and there I was, in another dimension of possibility and probability. Recently, I developed two new designs for The LifeSong Store. One says: Self Learning wrapped around the Earth with the universe in the background and the other says: Intelligent Design with the same background. How else can the magic of what we are express and maintain itself with such precision. Together, these two ideas suggest that All That Is thinks, feels, acts and reacts; therefore, we ARE. As we think, feel, act and react, we create. To change what we create, we change what we think and feel, how we act and react. As also mentioned in The Ball of Light, the woman whose consciousness I entered seemed to be a friend, someone I strongly identified with.

Inside Ivy is a waking reality experience born out of our love for each other. While fully awake, my consciousness left my body and entered a rootlet inside the plant pot on the shelf above the stairwell, under a skylight in San Francisco. It was an amazing experience! If you have some time, check it out!

“It seems like it is quite easy to make these connections.” – Col

I agree, Col, it is easy. However, perspective plays a large role here. It is easy for me because I truly believe, and have demonstrated to my own satisfaction, that consciousness or aware energy is the source and substance of All That Is, which makes us both one with and separate from All That Is. It also makes us both products of creation and creation itself. In my reality All That Is thinks, feels, acts and reacts; therefore we ARE. As we think, feel, act and react, we create. To change what we create, we change what we think and feel, how we act and react. My deepest thoughts and feelings are expressed on this website and there is space for anyone else to express their thoughts and feelings as well.

Beyond that there is our imagination and ability to communicate telepathically. In My Encounter with the Energy of Unconditional Love, I telepathically started a conversation with the higher self of the bus driver following me who was a good friend of mine. After imaginatively exchanging questions with each other, the conversation became real. When I reached out to her higher self the next time, I struck a powerful wall of energy that turned out to be Unconditional Love. For another example of inner communication, read Inside Ivy. During this experience my consciousness, or most of it, left my body and entered the plant for an amazing experience. There is so much to discover about ourselves, it is unbelievable. In my world, we are all connected and able to communicate with each other freely. According to Unconditional Love, “nothing you can ever think, feel, say of do can keep you from being loved unconditionally.” I believe it.

Cheers!

“Are you talking about outer reality or inner reality, the inner self or the outer self? They all have their own rules to maintain their nature.”
I was talking mostly about people who I have come across in waking life that I feel a connection with. I heard that we are drawn to every person we meet through “inner connections”. Perhaps in some cases it is just attraction, but I also have a desire to get to know them and think we can mutually benefit each other by becoming family sort of like the woman with the stroller you mentioned. It seems like it is quite easy to make these connections.

Hi Col, “In creating those lives, did agreements with other souls have to (be) made?” An interesting question, Col. There were no formal agreements but it did seem like there were unconscious ones. It seems like everyone involved willingly participated, each for their own reasons, including me.

This particular lucid dream seems as though it was meant to show me a much larger aspect of the consciousness I’m a part of. It’s not an experience I could have created limited by the rules of waking reality. Even though, my consciousness seemed to flow easily from one thought to another, I did need the support of a futuristic computer to make it possible for me to experience being an oversoul capable of giving flight to personality fragments from my own consciousness or field of awareness. That dream provided me with a great sense of oneness and separation, of being a product of creation and creation itself.

“How easy was it to forge those agreements?” They were spontaneous. Everyone involved seemed excited to participate in our experience/experiment.

“What about the realities in which those lives took place? Were they in our timeline or were you creating new realities from scratch?” I don’t know if they were in our timeline. What I do know is that I drew on a large collection of symbols that seemed appropriate and fun under the circumstances. In the case of the young girl, I was in and out of her mind. I was both her inner voice and outer, imagined friend who loved to sit beside her as we both looked up at the stars from the roof outside her bedroom window. The person with the most aware or agile consciousness was the the medicine man in the jungle. His level of awareness seemed as broad as mine.

“Were you creating a life by entering the woman’s psyche or was that just fantasy?” I would say it was both. Sometimes, I would play by the rules of linear and spacial creation with its demanding, one step after the other for continuity and, at other times, I would skip about at will. It all depended on how I felt in the moment.

“I’m always thinking about some of the people I come across and wonder what it would be like to be their family, it seems like it can happen quite easily with just a desire.” Are you talking about outer reality or inner reality, the inner self or the outer self? They all have their own rules to maintain their nature.

Thanks for your questions, Col, it was fun to go back to that amazing experience and look at it in greater detail. Cheers!

I suspect many people want to ask me the same question because sometimes I talk like I have things figured out too. Maybe the purpose for you finding my website and making the comments you did is the universe’s way of making me more aware of that. So, thank you!

Do you believe that we’re all doing the best we can with what we know and, as we learn more, we try to do better? Do you think self-improvement is built into who and what we are? I do, and if we turn this idea around, you can see it as us attempting to recover from things we don’t like about life and ourselves, things that don’t work for us or make us happy. If this is so, why don’t we do more to help ourselves and each other in our effort to recover instead of laughing at each other as if we’re all a big joke, not that any of us are forced to accept this projection.

Regarding my flight of fancy in making myself the “Captain of a Star Ship” and getting “turned on by a fucking bathroom”, as you put it. When I became fully aware of the profound obligation we assume when we remove plants from the ground and bring them into our homes, I felt a strong sense of guilt. Until that moment, I hadn’t realized how poor and insensitive I had been as a partner in my relationship with potted plants throughout my life. I always did the best I could with what I knew regarding plants but it wasn’t much. As the full impact of my failure hit home, all I could think to do was escape, and I did, in grand fashion. I used the material of the rootlet to create an amazing Star Ship, along with a beautiful captain’s uniform to go with it. I wanted to feel good about myself to balance out how bad I felt about myself. Do you think there’s something wrong or unnatural about that? I don’t. I think this is a natural course of action the mind takes to preserve our sanity. When I realized that I was in denial, I discarded the Star Ship and returned to the plant consciousness to learn more about it.

The bathroom thing represents one of my personal recovery projects. When I was about 8 or 9 years old, I discovered how much fun it was to pee from some branches high up in a pine tree in our side yard. There I am, about 10 or 12 feet up in the tree facing away from the street, mesmerized by how long after I start peeing, it takes for my pee to hit the ground and the sound to come back to me. All of a sudden, my mother leaned out of the bathroom window and hysterically screamed up at me: “Roger Peterson, what are you doing? Nobody wants to see you pee!” My first response was to laugh at her but that didn’t completely stop the energy of her reaction from having an affect on me. The next time I peed from up in the tree, the same damn thing happened. I have no idea how my mother knew I was up in the tree peeing again unless she was intuiting my behavior or spying on me. Anyway, the emotional impact of her screaming at me a second time did its job. From that moment on, it was almost impossible for me to pee in front of any one else.

Imagine being in school or in the military with this problem. It was a emotional and logistical nightmare to pee in public bathrooms alone. If someone came in, I’d freeze up and pretend I misjudged my situation and had to take a crap too. It was a long term nightmare that had a profound affect on my life. I’m 71 years old now and it’s taken me most of this time to overcome this debilitating inhibition. I think competition, “I win, you lose plays” plays a huge role in the formation of many human inhibitions. However, that’s a subject for another discussion.

Hopefully, you understand a little more why the “fucking bathroom” in The Ball of Light played such an important role in this lucid dream. My long term pee inhibition contains a lot of energy and plays itself out in many of my dreams. That’s just the way energy works.

Chanson, I’m glad you wrote what you did. Your thoughts provided me with a great opportunity to figure out what works and makes me happy. Getting angry and escaping into denial doesn’t work for me anymore. I’m much happier finding ways to opening doors to communication instead of closing them.

I don’t know if you know who Jane Roberts is but she said something pretty cool: “Hate is looking for love.” I love this insight because it seems so true! When I was young, I was angry at the world. I was angry because so many people I knew made it so hard to love them. I also found it hard to receive love from these same people. I always suspected it was because they didn’t know how or didn’t think it was okay to love themselves. I’d be interested in your thoughts on this. Cheers!
