something I noticed about dream state

[Chaos Mage]

Well, for the past few weeks, I've been having intense dreams.  Thing is, when I'm in the dream, I'm there, and that dream is so far removed from my physical state that I don't remember much of it on returning to my physical awakeness.

But one thing is for sure, the more that I practice 'anything' during my conscious time here on Earth, the greater my dream state becomes.

I've been trying banishing, worshiping, and basic phantasy things, and I can only do a few seconds at a shot.

When I banish, I get the same dream intensity as if I was worshiping.

Also, when I banish with a forceful banishing, my senses open up, and I can hear the static of the atmosphere around me.

So I'm just wondering, does our daily activity produce the intensity of the dream state?
Usually, I'm too doped up on neuroleptics to have any real functionality.  But as my daily practices are improving, I'm noticing that my dream state becomes more coherent.

So, tonight, I'm going to just try a basic focus exercise, and just try to focus.  My focus has been broken for about twelve years, with only three second visualizations possible.  I can focus, but it's all fragmented and distorted from what it used to be.  I remember being a teenager and in my shadow quest, and I was hearing voices, sure I was, that's what the implants are designed to do, but at least as a teenager, I was able to defy the voices and used barbarous language and intense visualizations to keep my mind focused on the objectives of my training.

When I focus during the day, whether it be banishing the physical illusion, banishing my own physical body, or any other such thing, it usually assists the depth and clarity of my dream state.  I noticed that the other morning, after working with banishing, both strong and continuous, that I had a marvelous conversation with some kind of 'tree girl', who was in a dark space close to my heart.  This girl wasn't exceptionally beautiful or anything, but she had a lot to say, and taught me a new gesture to use on someone who is accusing me. )as I am accused day and night by my adversaries).  So if I can get the focus level of the banishing to top condition, I think I'll be leaving this reality shortly, and reforming the Brainwave Phaentia as I deem necessary.

In my experience, yes, they are directly connected.
I do not know if "intensity" is the right word though.

Hmmm...I always thought that vividness (intensity?) of our dreams have to do with the practice of dreaming. I remember my dreams used to be vague and blurry, with very little details. When I started writing them down and trying to remember all the details, the dreams themselves changed and became more vivid.

From my studies, the word resonance plays a big role in this concept. We can only carry so many things in our mind, as we can only carry a limited amount of physical things without the burden hindering our movement. In this way, we can only 'resonant' with so many things on a daily basis. It is no coincidence, that when our subconscious becomes, well, less 'sub' so to say, the things being carried are utilized.

From my travels, I have found this is the easiest way to foster "intent"; that astral buzzword that helps you go where you want to go and see what you want to see. So controlling your mental maps (props to Jung), resonance, appears to be the keystone. That may be a simple explaination of why you are having such tremendous success.

So to say in short, you are what you think and you think what you are.
Seems almost too simple when you think of it in that way.
