Dream Journal

I was hanging out with three friends at the side of a lake. I asked them if they would choose a life of being in the military, where they could travel the world and see things, paid for by the government, but there was a 50% chance that they would see horrible bloody battles at some point. Would they do it? After asking the question, I saw printed on the back of this little box three quotes — “Can we please talk about something else?” “You must be picking something up. Right near here that very thing happened (and then some local history about a battle)”, and then another request to change the subject.
The background of this experience (on the more physical side I think), was this rapidly-cycling background of beautiful, vividly colorful landscape scenes. While they were cycling incredibly fast, my attention caught on certain images for a fraction of a second to see them. On top of the cycling were these waves of light going from one side of the visual field to the other, criss-crossing in different directions. It was like an advanced Satori.
This rapidly-cycling field had no memory dimension to it. It existed in zero-context. It could only cycle this fast when I had no attachments to anything. When I locked on to an image, the cycling slowed or stopped. I felt like it was a field of infinite possibility, in which all things existed. This was early in the night, likely in a deep phase of sleep.
Response by Box: This is clearly the responses of the three friends to my question. I looked at the little box, received the responses, and my mind, acting as an assembler, puts these things together in the way that makes the most sense.
The Dream Screen: The whole of our past experience is available at once. In terms of physical time it flashes before us rapidly. This cycling happens at faster and faster frequencies until it is instantaneous. These faster frequencies are up the stream, closer to the Source. They occur because of a lack of attachment. Our attachment stops the flow on a particular image or idea. It allows us to closely examine something, but it’s also what drags us out of the now in physical life. The higher realms are described as twinkling rainbow cascades of color — all colors cycling.
Now back to dreams. We have the reality of what’s happening in the astral, and it’s upon this rapidly-cycling background. We select from the images the most familiar and sensible given the circumstances, and apply those images to experience the scene in physical terms. Our expectation of object permanence means we only have to select them once per scene, and they remain until they are forgotten. This is the screen upon which we dream. An infinite-possibility energy field from which we select what we want to represent the deeper nonphysical realities we are experiencing.
