Okay, so recently my friend whose been into astral projection for the last like 4 years was having an in depth discussion about what you can do with astral projecting, and kind of got me into it. For the past 2 weeks I've jotted down my dreams, reactions to them and what I think they meant, my thoughts at the time of the dream, etc. Anyway, we had tossed around just hypothetical questions that he of course had no answer to, and I wanted to hear the opinion from the rest of the Astral Projection community, and possibly explore this further...
Theory 1 :
If you learned how to Astral Project ,and became advanced with it, could you theoretically alter time in the dream state? I mean, if I can fly, have superpowers in a dream, have sex with anyone I wanted, essentially do anything possible and then some...Why wouldn't I be able to control the time? For example, make your dream feel as if its a day or 2 long instead of what may feel like minutes or an hour.
Theory 2:
Lets say for example an expert at AP is a huge fanatic of a series, none in particular( book, movie, show, or even perhaps a video game, etc.), an advanced practitioner should be able to enter the respective universe of that series..right? What if they wanted to take it further?.
Night 1- Dreamer enters the universe, in no particular way, but not randomly either. He/She becomes familiar with the people, environment, etc..
Night 2- instead of putting last night aside, Dreamer continues their escapade in the same universe. Lets say Dreamer has entered a zone of conflict. would the Dreamer be able to continuously enter this same universe, theoretically creating their own story? Or living out a fantasy of being in their most fantasized universe? Like, being a Sith Lord whose reign cannot end after one night. Or a Hobbit, with a ring that needs to be brought to a volcano. Such a journey would be far to short for a single night... Crime lords don't get a mansion, power and riches all in one night. What if Tony Montana didn't get shot in his back? I think you all see my point. Lets face it, we all have had fantasies of wanting to be something else. If you say otherwise you're simply a damned liar.
Theory 3:
Now I really hate to do this, but yes this is another movie reference. If you have not watched Total Recall, in short its about a man who uses the "travel agency" that sets you up on this machine, puts you to sleep and sends you to whatever type of fantasy you ever lived in without memory of your own life( a vacation they call it). I won't get into the rest of the details because that's the only part we need to know.
One of the most commonly taught practices to induce a dream, AP etc. is giving yourself suggestions prior to sleeping. So what if someone advanced continuously suggested they would lose memory of their identity, go to a different planet, and do something you would see in a movie and when its all done. you will wake up? Like have your mind make up a whole scenario that now you have to deal with.
Just some perhaps silly ideas thrown around, but nonetheless, I'd like to hear opinions or thoughts. Thanks!
