I'll talk about it with you. Fascinating subject.
I used to be into lucid dreaming. I kept a dream journal for a few years.
One interesting thing i noticed from keeping a dream journal: In the dead of the night, deep within the midst of the dream world, is when i had the most spiritual, lovely, peaceful dreams.
There are a lot of strange caveats that pop up when you delve into this; at least there were for me. The sleep paralysis and "false awakenings" being among them.. dreams stacked on dreams, dreams within dreams. Bizarre, Inception type sh!t. (this was before the movie came out but it persists to this day)
I dont even know if words can explain half of it.
But it was definitely worth it, imo. For various reasons.
What would you like to accomplish from delving into your dreamworld? What do you mean when you say you wanna visit people?
i have to admit, so far i have lacked the focus to keep a dream journal, which i thought i would have considering my experience a few months ago. but the abstract way od learning about things resonates with me better, and i saw my gran during the dream and she strictly told me not to speak to people about it, or become intensley focused on returning. i call it a psychic dream but it definetely was not a dream. i can remember they tried to pull me up a couple of times, before i took a deep breath and felt myself enter something different.
the problem i have is not being able to let my thoughts go, but the same thing also served me well when i tried to open my eyes and saw myself lying on my bed, at the same time as moving downwards, and when i felt myself breathing but coouldnt open my eyes, i didnt panic at all and was able to breathe normally until i could open my eyes. the thing i most appreciated is when i asked to stay for a bit longer and surprisingly they let me. i say they because the figures were only half recognizable, but it was my gran who was speaking to me.
i dont believe i have any strong ability, just the awareness and complete belief. i feel emotions and thoughts from my loved ones. and it wouldnt surprise me if i could channel it into some healing work in the future, once im more healed myself.
what fascinates me is the knowledge there is something major right there. ive always worked more on healing my thoughts on the inside rather than working on my social skills or wanting to join the rat race. and that experience just gave me a respite and i know it exists so much that i know im doing the right thing by leaning more towards my inner self.
its personal for people, but im fascinated about whats up there. ive read people are different people, that some have had contact with black magicians...where do these black magicians come from?? are they human, have they ever been?? is there a link between autism, mental illness, religion...all religions must be inadvertently following the same god.
and other things like how do you contact your guardian angel or guide? its funny cos i was into american indian, spiritual art before i was even a teenager, so there will be a connection. i asked for my shamanic spirit guide to appear a few years ago and it was a very peaceful scene with a doe deer eating grass in a forest. thats my inner me, beneath all the aries.
oh anyway i ramble...i should start a dream journal like you have, and focus on whats important. ive been in a haze all through my saturn return. but i guess i dont have any expectation from it except the experience, curiousity, and respite. black magicians dont frighten me (i felt scared typing that),i once thought i could take on fate, i grew up and soon realized i had to pick my battles, but that same energy will protect me. whenever i have felt uncomfortable thought i imagine whatever is there i dont like to 'go to the bridge' and i imagine a white light, as well as all my loved ones, and it works everytime. but im sure il access my aries energy for a fight with a gd ol black magician.
