It does seem that there are many different types and levels of dreams -
and some of them may not be dreams, but different levels of reality.
We may sometimes be even more  awake in that dimension
than we think we are in this one.

(And complicating things, there may not be different levels of reality,
only one - The Unformed. Buddha is quoted as saying:
“Out of the Whole came the Whole, and the Whole remained Whole."

Once again. If we keep emerging ourselves in alternative possibilities,
our brain may disconnect from its distorted old programming,
and something new may just click.

(Often when people have transcribed what I have said, they get a totally
different level of realisation from what they got when they were
listening.)

So I suggest you keep reading people’s near death experiences, psychics
realities, and other events that are not being explained by science.
Just keep remembering - science does not seem to even profess to know what
is consciousness - who we are, where we come from, and where we are going.
The basics.

Your brainwashing - commonly called education, has been given to you by
people who are not only not living in joy, they don’t want you to have the
benefits of freedom either. You have had the conventional, and if it is
not working for you, try an alternative.
