Dreams and dreaming process. What happens to human consciousness during sleep? Astral space allows us to enter other worlds, Lucid dreaming
What happens to a person’s consciousness during sleep?
When we fall asleep, the connection between the higher layers of the mind and the activity of the physical and the Etheric bodies gets weaker. Physiological processes wane down and therefore don’t attract as much attention from the mind as they would normally do during waking hours. Our Assemblage Point receives much greater ability of horizontal shifting within the cocoon, and our subconscious gets a much greater range of freedom.
This freedom provides a different movement capability through space and time, and the Assemblage Point begins collecting information from the accessible environment, which it is usually unable to reach during the waking hours due to the lack of freedom. During the dreaming process, the Assemblage Point tries to move a bit further away from the usual parameters monitored by the mind in order to access information from the realms that normally remain closed to it in the waking state.
As a result, we can draw the following analogy: the human mind keeps its Assemblage Point on a leash. This “leash” is short during the waking state but has an ability to extend during the dreaming process. However, if the “leash” remains short during dreaming, this means that the consciousness is experiencing some sort of malfunction. This malfunction can be located within the subconscious as well as within the superconscious region of the mind. The Assemblage Point will first and foremost try to remove internal barriers that are keeping this “leash” from extending, and so a person will be seeing dreams that will allow him to experience certain events and emotions which were not fully lived through or perhaps experienced incorrectly from the position of acquiring new knowledge or for the “extension of the leash”. Such dreams are usually quite emotional, however, our memory doesn’t always remember them. If it’s not remembered, all we are left with are just the remainders of the sensations.
This type of “repair” allows the consciousness to heal from unnecessary complexes and to utilize the leftover emotional energy that burdens the consciousness by taking away its freedom.
If the Astral body is free, if there are no obstacles and energetic accumulations, then, the Assemblage Point can more freely shift about in space. But this space is not physical, it is Astral, and it has its own dimensionality.
Astral space is very elastic and fluid, and via the Assemblage Point shift allows the consciousness to enter far away worlds, the kinds that the human mind can stumble upon only in fantasies. That is why dreaming allows you to travel to different realities and to have contact with beings of other realms, or seeing deceased relatives or loved ones – all of which would rarely be possible to a waking consciousness in real life.
Practitioners who are experienced in Astral space travel have the ability to keep in contact with their mentors, their fetches – guardian spirits, to receive information upon request, as well as to shape future events.
However, Astral travel can also be quite dangerous, and injuries sustained there can also manifest in the physical body upon waking up. Many times, travelers, waking up in their own bed in the morning, to their surprise would discover scratches, broken nails and scraped up knees.
