Lucid Dream/OBE reversed

[Aquarious]

Just thought that I'd mention I had a very long LD come OBE last night.

I was there so long that I remember asking myslef if I'd like to stay there forever. The feeling was no. Although it is great to fly and explore the Astral world, I still had a longing for the physical, don't know if its unfinished business here or just the comfort of waking exsistence but the physical exsistence has not been trumpt for me yet.

I feel that there is still an element of being more swept along in the storyline of a Lucid Dream. Although I was in control of my conscious thoughts like I am now writing this... There was a series of events that I was involved in that I just subconsciously accepted but didn't consciously question the bizareness of them as I would if they happened in waking life.

I suppose we all have a storyline in our waking exsistence but conscious linear thought processes make it seem like we're more in control.

Which got me thinking... Maybe waking life is an escape from the Astral. Having rules and restrictions like the laws of physics and gravity within a motion of a moving universe creates time which encourages a linear thought process. We are MORE conscious than ever while awake in the physical, more in control of our thoughts and of our actions than we are when LD and even OBE'ing.

So rather than dreams being an escape from reality, we cant rule out the possibility that reality is an escape from dreams.
