Dreams as closed spaces within consciousness

[NobodySpecial268]

I was outside and reminiscing on the Castenada books, along with your mention of the Ganzfeld effect Ksihkehe.

While am of two minds in regard to the existence of hallucinations in the medical view, the exercise of gazing in darkness would sensitise the rods of the eyes. What they see is another matter.

In one of Castenada's books, Carlos walks into a room at the sorcerer group's main house. That is where the women are introduced to Carlos. In the house is a room with a clay floor. The floor has a strange, mesmerising patterns that draw Carlos's gaze. At a certain point, the floor begins to lift at the edges in a flower form and Carlos is trapped. Maybe Don Juan or Genaro shouts and breaks the mesmeric effect the floor was having on Carlos.

That is an example of the dream overlay upon waking consciousness. One of the women was practicing dreaming and created a closed space, and Carlos walked right into it. She probably did this on purpose and the fact that Carlos was saved at the last moment, indicates everyone, except Carlos, was aware of what was happening.  I can't help but smile at that. This is how these things work. How one learns.

Which brings us to an important point. Don Juan was always reminding Carlos to keep his agreements, no matter what.  Carlos agreed to learn from Don Juan, and therefore the encounters with the women is something Carlos also agreed to. So he should not complain when things like this happen to him.  This is an important consideration in this work. In venturing 'out there' we are going to encounter things. There is a responsibility to keep a level head and not panic.

This is how one gets taught, and brings to mind how I learned about the 5D world view.

There is an ordinarilly unseen creature which often lives in unused chimneys - a chimney worm. They build themselves a home in the soot (carbon). So a black hollow worm of the 3 dimensions of the chimney.  The mouth is the opening where we light the fire and the butt is at the top of the chimney.  What is carried up the chimney in the draft nourishes them. In turn, fire elemental spirits eat them when we light the fire. Just one of those things that happen in our homes unbeknownst to us.

These worms can extend out of the fireplace, and into the room. Not a good thing, especially if there are children in the home. The remedy of course is to take care of the fireplace and keep it clean, and the chimney swept as soon as fire season is finished, rather than leave cleaning for another day.

One day I was sitting in front of an unkept fireplace, the worm extended and enveloped me.

Where one found oneself was in a grey world that extended in all directions. No matter what one tried one couldn't find the boundary. So the question was, how does one get out?

A few hours later I realised a simple thing. I was inside the worm, I wanted to be outside.  That was the key to getting out: that there is an outside.  So this now becomes a problem of navigation within consciousness.

Being swallowed by a chimney worm becomes a problem of relative positioning  . . . , and relative positioning according to the 5D model is how one navigates consciousness.

The sixth dimension is time/motion.

Worms aside, Carlos found himself inside a trap, that is the closed dream space created by the woman. Curious that she made a floor pattern in the house as the basis of the dream. Kinda like a spider . . .
