I have given a description of a dream with a slight scare of eternal insanity in the beginning of december 2009. It is not a common thing for me to have dreams in which I turn insane or are very scared. Most of the time my dreams are quite alright.
The reason why I want to write down another one is because these dreams are quite impressive.
This time I was in a room with a friend of mine. I don't know exactly WHAT happened, but somehow our vision started to become blurred and things didn't seem solid any more. It felt as if certain entities were around and we couldn't trust anything any more and my friend was on the verge of starting to distrust me as well.
I really felt weird and a strange throbbing sensation entered my brain: it felt as if I would almost lose my ability to stay in control. I felt I was being pulled into this weird and rather fearful mode of perception and the only thing I could think of was my breath. So I tuned into my breath and continued to breath carefully and I noticed that my throbbing brain sensations moved to the top of my head, to my crown chakra and as I continued breathing the sensations slowly moved away.

Creation of a Dream Temple
This morning I woke up and I was unable to remember any dream that I have had. Since I have been playing with the noetic concepts in the book 'the Field' by Lynne McTaggart my trust in the abilities of the mind has grown.
If our mind would be able to tune into other places and times as is mentioned in the book, why wouldn't we be able to tune into some kind of dream database? In order to make it more tangible I decided to create a Consciousness Temple for Dreams that would allow my mind to simply enter the temple and ask whatever I could think of and get appropriate answers of course.
So, I imagined being in the temple and I asked the 'infinite' field if I could please get some memories of the dreams I had last night. I continued breathing carefully and joyfully and to my excitement I actually received fragments of a dream, and after a while I received other elements of another dream, both stemming from this last night!

Being around Dead People in Dreams
There are various ways to become lucid in a dream. One can see extremely ridiculous things like a parakeet riding a bike, which elicits lucidity easily. In Becoming Insane in a Dream I wrote about becoming lucid after I noticed that the way someone talked looked absurd.
Another phenomenon that often creates lucidity in dreams is the one in which people who are dead occur. My initial tendency in those kind of dreams is that I tell the ones who are dead that they should realize their new status of being dead and that they are no longer supposed to hang around in dreams any more. This often is enough for them not to return again in another dream.
An interesting element occured in a dream I had last night. I was sitting at a table with about 7 people. One of them had recently departed which caused me to become lucid. Next to me sat a man who is quite interested in occultism. I tapped him on the shoulder and made an interesting proposal: I said, what would you say if we decided to become lucid together?
Well, I can't say he really became wildly enthusiastic. In fact not much more happened and I woke up with a small grin on my face.
It would sure be a wonderful thing if I could be lucid together with someone else: to both do the unimaginable.

Couples living in a Brothel
I saw a scene in a modern brothel. There was a long corridor with dozens of rooms. I believe that in many rooms not only women lived, but their partners as well. Perhaps this was a cheap way of living.
Occasionally a rich man would pop up and all the women would be forced to stand in the corridor next to the door opening. The man would walk between the women and he would choose one with whom he would have a sexual encounter in the room at the end of the corridor.
Well, the signal was given that it was time to get out of the rooms and into the corridor. However, in one of the rooms the man was making love to his girlfriend whom he loved dearly. They had to end their bodily contact and she had to stand in the line as well. The rich man who was given the privilege to pick a woman chose this girl.
He could see the man standing right next to her in the room and he politely asked the man if he was fine with the idea that he would pick his girlfriend. The boy knew how important it was and he kindly said, 'no, it's okay' and the man took his girlfriend away from the door.
There was a rather uncomfortable atmosphere as you can imagine and the boy was utterly confused.

Theater with White Screens
Last night I had this dream in which was watching a man who was facing temporary physical disabilities. This was the reason why was unable to deal with as much as normal people could.
In order to allow him to follow a certain play in a theater a compromise was created. The idea was that after a certain period of time the play would be halted and a white screen would appear. This would give this man the opportunity to let the stimuli of the play settle in his mind.
After all the information is stored in a time that was needed by the man, the play would continue and the white screen would vanish, only to reappear again when the man was again reaching his limits of integrating information.

Comment: what I like about this image is the idea that someone might need some time to fully integrate new information. Perhaps this goes for me and perhaps this goes for many others as well. When you want to integrate new information about the limits of consciousness you might do well to take an occasional rest to allow your unconscious to make all the necessarcy connections and links with your known world.

Integrating Parallel Lives?
It sure is interesting to note that when I started with this new episode of writing down my dream explorations, old memories and new thoughts seem to arise in my mind. This journey into the dreamplanes might develop into the construction of a reality-perspective that is resonating at a higher frequency than my current reality-perspective is able to contain.
When I woke up around 5 o'clock in the morning after a dream it was quite tempting to just turn around and continue sleeping, but I was determined to further develop this project, so I put on the light and started writing again. Even though I had promised myself to only use keywords, I noticed myself starting to write down long sentences as if I enjoyed being elaborate and detailed. This project might turn out to be a true bag-under-the-eyes-inducer. Let's see where this journey will bring me.
Today I remembered the concept of parallel lives (you can read more about this concept at Parallel Lives). In short this concept would imply that we would all live about 24 lives, in which only one would exist in the physical. Then we would live the other 23 lives in other non-physical planes of existence. The further you would progress in your process the more lives you would be able to integrate. There would be various ways to get into contact with these other planes of existences. Let's present ourselves with a nice quote:
I remembered the concept of parallel lives after I had another dream in which I was active in barracks/clinic surroundings functioning in groups. Now, I can tell you a lot about my life, but one of the main themes is that I enjoy having time with myself. I like to have some friends or maybe get married, but the time to spend with my own world, my own thoughts is very precious to me. I have never been a team-player in my life.
So to see myself in a place where I sleep with all kinds of people, where I study with all kinds of people and even visit a sauna with a group of people is quite remarkable for me, to say the least.
In one of the dreams I even saw a soldier with whom I had served in the army about 20 years ago! He was going down an escalator and when I shouted his name (which I miraculously seemed to remember) he turned around and tried to move upwards while the escalator was moving down. He smiled in a friendly and calm way just like he did when we used to walk to the other side of the barracks in the morning to get breakfast. Most of the time we were the only ones going there because the rest of the group preferred to remain in bed for 30 minutes more.

I would advise you not to take this source on its word. What I have come to learn is that the concept can be useful as a single element which you might like to consider. Right now I am not inclined to believe that we would all be living so many parallel lives in the non-physical planes of existence. But it could be true. For now I am willing to play with the idea that different aspects of me can sometimes be expressed in my dreams.It is a great lie that one does not experience all things in a single life, it is only that one cannot remember it all. However all is remembered while one sleeps, and it is during dreamtime that all humans experience their parallel lives. It is also a great truth that all judgment is self-judgment, for what one judges in another one also judges oneself in a like parallel life. (Earth Attains First Major Pole Shift)

Dealing with Medical Equipment
I am no doctor although I am doing a course in medical knowledge. Last night I dreamt I was doing some kind of course with three kinds of medical devices that were quite big. There was no one to help me since it was a 'learn-it-yourself'-course. I was the only one doing the course and it was in a rather big hall somewhere in a hospital; an occasional doctor in a white jacket passed by.
Even though it was quite new I enjoyed working with these devices. When I got to the last device I had to admit that this was a rather complicated one: it was the kind of device that opticians use to see what kind of glasses people need. Although I felt slighlty uneasy with it I just continued, mainly because no one seemed to care what I was doing and they had donated depreciated devices for the course.
In another related dream I was working on some kind of frequency machine in a surrounding that was a mix between barracks and psychiatric ward. I was about to give a demonstration but I was hoping that not too many people would show up because I wasn't skilled enough. After a few people who I know quite well were in the room I closed the door to prevent other people from joining us.
