I've been kicking this idea around for a couple days and want to see what others think of it.
This branches off from the idea that we create our own realities; that everything we see as solid is just energy we've all agreed to interpret as solid.
The idea is that the difference between a dream and Frank's F4 is the number of other beings you're 'plugged in to', and possibly how much influence those other beings have on your reality. In a dream state, it might be only yourself creating your environment, or maybe there's some influence from another entity too, etc. Frank described F4 as being a total loss of self and merging with countless other beings, so this would be a reality with much more influence from many other beings. So there you have two extremes that we know of, and in between those extremes would fall our daily 3D, and F3, and the RTZ and possibly even being high off of weed and other such experiences; all would be dependent upon your relations to the realities of everyone else, from no relation at all, to a definite merging of realities, to everything in between.
This is just an idea I've been playing around with. I still don't know what I think of it, and thought maybe you guys could add some input on it. It seems to make some sense to me, but there's a part of me that just doesn't resonate with it for some reason that I can't put my finger on.
There may still be a post I wrote way back about reality being a consensual interference pattern from by the infinite points of perception .
Your idea sounds similar.
I use the ocean as a metaphor. The ocean is the underlying Truth, Reality, Divine Existence, whatever. Everythingn is a wave on that ocean being merged with other waves giving rise to an interference pattern that is our reality. In that pattern, waves represent our perceptual realm as well as us, each being affected by the others and confined to the same overall pattern.
