I had two dreams consecutively a few nights ago where I was aware that I had jumped into a different reality while I was dreaming. I am a lucid dreamer and am able to discern whether or not I am dreaming while I am dreaming, but in these two dreams I was confused as to whether or not I was dreaming or just in another dimensional state. Prior to this night, I had experienced two instances in my waking life in which I believe I had time/dimensionally shifted. I am thinking the dreams were, in part, to bring my awareness and do further research in this area. Any clarification or insights are much appreciated. Thank you!
I have this often, they don't feel as if they are dreams. They feel like different realities.
So last night I was in a Northern country, it felt like Sweden or Norway (there were mountains and snow) there was a big quite new building and in this experience, I switched timelines where the old castle emerged. Like the new building was gone, only the old castle.
That's freaking 3 timelines in a matter of minutes I think, because I was also knowing that I was in my bed and dreaming.
I wake up exhausted, how do you regain your energy?
Hi Danielle, thanks for sharing your experience. I usually wake up well rested almost every morning, unless I don't get enough hours in. I like to ground myself after an experience by journaling it, and it's always very interesting to read it at a later time. I also like to process the dream/event while I am outside walking on my favorite trail. This way I am fully present with my thoughts with minimum to no distractions and I know I am in the present moment.
How do you distinguish a dimensional shift from time travel? For example, in one of my dreams, I went from being inside of a house where there were blue crystals raining down outside of an open window to then being outside of the house, asking a neighbor what he thought about the blue crystal rain, He looked at me funny and said, "it's just raining." And then it was then raining water. That's when I questioned myself: Did I jump into another reality? In your dream, it sounds like you went from the present to the past.
@gwarner Everything was the same and the only thing that changed was the building. Even the conversations that I had at this moment continued.
