Chapter 89. Comparisons between daydreams and lucid projections
Differential The differential
characteristics between daydreams and lucid projections are well
defined and unmistakable with regard to 4 angles of approach:
1. Coincidence When in the condition of the daydream, the
intraphysical consciousness is aware of being inside or coincident
with the human body, in the ordinary, physical waking state. When
in the condition of the lucid consciential projection, the intraphysical
consciousness knows and feels that it is outside the human body
or discoincident and is even able to see the dense body in front
of it (self-bilocation phenomenon).
2. Forms In daydreams, less dense substratums arise
that are of a physical origin and are tangible or palpable, such
as a succession of mental images. In the lucid projection that occurs
in physical districts and even in certain extraphysical crustal
or tropospheric environments, there is an incontrovertible concretisation
of much denser physical and extraphysical forms, thought forms or
morphothosenes.
3. Nature The daydream is a consciential condition
that is far more oneiric than projective. The consciousness itself
distinguishes the major lucid consciential projection in all its
aspects, from the consciential states of dream, nightmare and daydream.
4. Clairvoyance The manifestations of the daydream
are similar in part to those of travelling clairvoyance, although
the latter presents clearer story lines and goes far beyond the
inconsequential simple mental elaboration of the human consciousness.
Ascencional It is curious that the condition of
the daydream (as well as the ordinary dream) shows itself to be
so different from the condition of consciential projection that
is also ends up constituting a process whereby the consciousness
can project itself from the human body, called ascensional daydream
or guided daydream. This technique is based on the act wherein the
intraphysical consciousness, while in the ordinary, physical waking
state, imagines leaving the human body and rising up through space,
with the help of rhythmic respiration, after preparation through
the daydream.
Chapter 95. Comparisons
between dreams and lucid projections
Differential The basic differential characteristics
or natural, common dreams and the lucid projection of the consciousness
from the human body are very distinct and can generally be classified
into two categories:
1. Subjective or individual
2. Objective or public
Comparisons The following are 33 didactic comparisons
between natural dreams and lucid consciential projections:
1. Beginning In a dream, the intraphysical consciousness
does not start dreaming while in the ordinary, physical waking state.
In lucid projection, there are episodes wherein the condition of
continuous self-awareness is effectively maintained from the waking
state, or, in other words, before, during and after the projective
experiment, without lapse or interruption in consciential lucidity.
2. Vibrational In a dream, no condition arises
that can be interpreted as being the intense vibrational state,
a singular phenomenon that frequently occurs before and after a
lucid projection, in a manner that is unmistakable to the projector.
3. Sounds In a dream, the strange intracranial
sounds do not occur which are characteristic of the consciential
interiorisation stage and, less frequently, of the take-off stage,
when the consciousness projects in the psychosoma.
4. Takeoff In dreams there are no consciential
impressions of the exit from the human organism. In projection,
lucid takeoff in the projective experience of continuous self-awareness
is fascinating and unique.
5. Awareness In dreams, due to their inoperative
nature the intraphysical consciousness may not always determine
the oneiric images at will, but acts like a spectator or semi-spectator
of a show that unfolds before it, over which it has no control as,
in fact, we do not dream, we are dreamt, we suffer the dream, we
are the objects of the dream, The projected consciousness generally
directs extraphysical acts and has decision-making capacity equal
to that which occurs in the ordinary waking state, because we are
the agents of extraphysical events in which we are integrated, speaking,
acting and actually moving.
6. Activity In dreams mental activity is habitual.
In lucid projection the consciousness’ inner activity transcends
the ordinary, physical waking state in richness.
7. Reason In dreams, full reasoning capacity does
not occur with ease. In lucid projection, reasoning faculties remain
the same in the 2 states, the physical waking state and the extraphycial
waking state. They also often transcend the bounds of the ordinary,
physical waking state.
8. Judgement In dreams there is neither time nor
a clear, immediate awareness of experiences; critical judgement
is absent and the most absurd occurrences and situations are readily
accepted, because the consciousness is not sufficiently alert to
awaken the sense of attention. In lucid projection, critical judgement
is always present and the projector is unquestionably certain that
his/her human body is distant form the consciousness, or, in other
words, the consciousness is outside of the human body.
9. Autosuggestion In dreams, autosuggestion does
not influence the coordination of images. In lucid projection, will
or thought determine acts and extraphysical events.
10. Waking In dreams, the dreamer neither recalls
nor is aware of the ordinary, physical waking sate. In lucid projections,
the projector maintains all memories of the waking state.
11. State The dream, as an altered sate of consciousness,
does not present the magnitude of lucid experience that lucid projection
provides I a sui generis manner; the degree of self-awareness; the
sensation of freedom; the feeling of well-being; the mental lucidity;
the expansion of a notion of power; permeability relative to structures
and physical bodies; volitation; extraphysical euphoria.
12. Quality In a dream, images more frequently
appear distorted, unreal and full of fantasies arsing from the creations
of the intraphysical consciousness. In lucid projection, the consciousness
sees images and experiences events that do not become deformed,
are real, occur in a defined environment that is independent of
its personal creativity and do not require interpretation.
13. Intensity In dreams, the images of the experiences
are less intense than those of the ordinary, physical waking state.
In lucid projection, the objective images may attain the greatest
degree of intensity of all consciential states.
14. Images Dreams, although having weaker images,
allows a stronger and easier recall because they almost always occur
when the vehicles of manifestation are nearly coincident or totally
coincident, or at least when the consciousness is in the proximity
of the human body. Lucid projections, whilst having stronger images,
almost always afford weaker, evanescent and fleeting memories, as
they occur without the direct influence of the brain, the physical
organ of the human body but of the parabrain instead, the extraphysical
organ of the psychosoma.
15. Predetermination In a dream, it would be useless
to attempt to plan the execution of a specific action, while in
the oneiric state, in a specific place, chosen before sleeping.
Lucid projection makes it possible for you to carry out a resolution,
made before sleeping, to direct yourself to a specific location
during the experience and realise the wilfully planned extraphysical
action.
16. Translocation A dream allows deliberate extraphysical
travel, but of a relative, illusory, internal, imaginary nature
that is merely thought by the consciousness. Lucid projection facilitates
the wilful execution of extraphysical translocation in a departure-return-new-
departure, in the same itinerary, giving the projector direct, irrefutable
experience of extraphysical situations commanded by the will.
17. Body In a dream, the dreamer, given that he/she
dreams inside him/herself (brain), does not have the direct, objective
view of his/her own human body when outside it, as with consciential
self-bilocation, a characteristic and singular fact that lucid projection
provides in an impressive manner, including tactile sensation, self-embrace
and the proof - which is definitive for the lucid projector –
of the existence of the parabrain or psychosoma.
18. Reflexes during a dream, sensor stimuli produce
fantasies. In lucid projection, during the absence of the consciousness
from the human body, small external touches made upon the inactive
human body provoke the return of the psychosoma with the unmistakable
sensation of traction of the silver cord, the admonitory discomfort,
intracranial sounds and other phenomena peculiar to extraphysical
repercussions.
19. Interiorisation Those occurrences characteristic
of the mechanism of lucid projection, such as the lucid interiorisation
of the consciousness whilst in the psychosoma, are not experiences
that can be associated or confused with dreams.
20. Duration It is very difficult to prolong a
dream. During a lucid projection, the consciousness determines whether
it is going to end or continue in the extraphysical period and through
perseverant training, the veteran projector can voluntarily make
this experience last for half an hour or more.
21. Recall In a dream, the dreamer (oneironaut)
most often does not recall the miages in a correct and logical sequence.
The lucid projector (projectionaut) can recall the complete, coherent
events of the projection in full detail. The projector sometimes
does not even need to recall the facts, because it does not lose
awareness at any time during the experience.
22. Accomplishments Lucid projectors are able to
see and participate in real events, as well as describe actual places
visited by the consciousness during the extraphysical period. These
accomplishments surpass the normal possibilities of dreams with
regard to frequency, validity and intensity of the consciential
experiences.
23. Continuance In a continuance-dream, occurring
after an intermission of awakening or sleeping, the images continue
in the same apparently incoherent and illogical manner as before.
In a continuance projection, the sequential images of the episodes
are coherent and well interlinked, whether according to the theme,
the scenario-locations and the character consciousnesses of the
lucid proiector , in the first as much as the second occurrence.
The second projective experience undeniably confirms the events
and experiences of the first for the lucid projector.
