    Once while driving down a back highway, I hit a patch of ice at 70 miles per hour. My truck turned side ways in time to hit the dry part of the road. From there the truck rolled four times, landed on the wheels then we went on down the side on the hill when I crashed into another hill head on. I had hung onto the steering wheel the whole time this was happening. After the crash I found my mirror and looked at my face. I had bitten around my upper lip as well as my lower one. This happened when I crashed head on and my mouth hit the steering wheel.

    After this event, I often think that I am in a coma and my life is nothing but a dream. Why? Because so many things have happened to me since that day. Things that a dreamer can only dream. I would sure hate to wake up and see the reality of what really happened that day.

    Actually a dreamer can sometimes "realize they are dreaming" and may finish the dream "safely" (if it involves risks) knowing it is just a dream, and then they wake up relaxed and at ease.

    I am not a psychiatrist, nor am I an expert in dream interpretation, but since I had experienced this myself, I believe it is a sort of subconscious defense mechanism to preserve the sanity of the conscious mind that has been awakened during the dream just before the subconscious can close the passage between them. The subconscious must rationalize immediately; otherwise, the conscious mind that has entered a chamber in the Self that is forbidden for it, may lose its sanity.

    Freud thought that a dream within a dream was a direct presentation of reality, as another form of psychological censorship and disguise (telling yourself "oh, it's just a dream"). He thought that the rest of the dream surrounding this inner dream was a representation of real emotions or desires, but told in a disguised way through metaphors, whereas the inner dream content could be shown directly as the dreamer is thrown off by the presentation of it as a dream narrative.

    I don't believe his theory myself, I just thought you might find it interesting.

    Passing through levels of the astral realm I suppose. I have been four dreams deep and each time I awoke I told my first dream to another in that dream until finally I woke up and my coffee was real.

    What am i able to upload? the certainty that became into created via "God" became right into a non secular advent. we at the instant are not God's dream. we are that is certainty. we are mankind's dream because of the fact God did no longer supply permission for guy to chop up from His advent. God's advent became into in His image. that would make guy religious, Changeless, Loving, clever, eternal, and not project to sin, affliction and dying. guy chosen the dream international and God has no longer sanctioned it. He Created the Holy Spirit to assist us discover our some time past to His suited advent. the clarification for evil, disaster, wars, murders,beggars is that guy's advent is below suited, yet Spirit can use a super form of those issues as classes for us to triumph over our dream and awaken to God's certainty. as quickly as we do awaken to the Presence of Perfection, desires would be over.

    It means to me that consciousness is aware of itself. Imagine being at the exact V of the Viet Nam Memorial in Washington, DC. If one leans their forehead against it with eyes open and looks back into ones own eyes, that is the moment of awareness of consciousness contemplating self. Best wishes.

    One such is at a juncture, having difficulty choosing whether to continue on his quest/the path to enlightenment he has chosen, or not.

    It's my belief that any true seeker of the truth, always experiences this dilemma. My counsel would be, to rely upon your intuition - a too often applied intellect, will lead one to doors better left unopened.

    Wake up, wake up! To me, your question means that you are dreaming!

    It means the person who is "awake" dreamt they were dreaming.
