Do we live in Multiple Parallel realities?

Where does our mind go when we dream?

Especially when we dream, is it possible that we may travel back and forth to another reality, unaware of ourselves?

The debate is still going on rapidly whether humans are capable of this magic beyond madness. Countless researchers unveiled several facts about dreaming, which is ongoing till now. They explain that our mind consists of two categories: “imaginary” and “reality.” We experience the imaginary part in our dreams while we think about the actual part during our daily conscious life.

It is possible that 99% of dreams when entering a parallel universe, feel like we were there our entire life.

Sounds pretty unreal.

Dreams have different perceptions in various cultural aspects:

Dream perception in Ancient Egypt:

People firmly believe that dreams can predict the future and offer guidance. They viewed dreams as a communication channel between gods and departed spirits, particularly for complicated dreams. When the dream is clear and precise as water, it becomes unambiguous.

Dream perception in Native American cultures:

The Native American space viewed the dream as a sacred place. They believed one person could step outside the bounds of mundane existence and connect with universal consciousness.

Hindu approaches to dreams:

Though Westerners had a more scientific approach to dreaming, Hindu mythology presumed the desire to as a sacred, devoted process.

One encounters the concept of dreaming (called ‘Swapna’) in Upanishads, Puranas, Darshanas, Ayurveda, and Atharva Veda (Hindu sacred books). They believed that pregnant women who encounter specific dreams could foretell the gender of the child to be born.

Dream interpretation in Old Testament:

Leaders, seers, and prophets directly connect to God and can communicate through dreams.

The ancient Hebrews believed that sleeping opened the line between the living world and the world of spirits.

Though many cultures have different facets for dreaming, it still doesn’t explain whether a dream is a pathway to the parallel universe.

We interact with different places; different characters in our dreams. Does that mean we entered into an alternate reality or parallel universe?

It is said that we dream 4–6 times at night. When we dream, we forget our conscious life, and dreams become our new life, and it makes complete sense to us if we believe it.

A few years ago, scientists at Harvard Medical School discovered that dreams might be more than just abstract sensations but actual experiences that occur during a specific stage of unconsciousness, suggesting that we can experience the existence of living in an alternate reality can be noticed during that particular phase.

We are in control of dreams only if we are aware of them, little emotions where we strongly shape the environment.

Lucid dreams:

The human brain is wired with hallucinations.

Though hallucinations are an off-topic form of dreaming, researchers claim that the most common phenomenon that we experience is Hypnagogia.

Hypnagogic hallucinations occur when we fall asleep but aren’t sleeping.

It sounds like lucid dreaming; ever tried it?

Where does our mind wander as we dream? There are so many questions about dreams; almost everyone is curious enough. Remember the feeling when we dream something, and someone comes to us in real life? You aren’t aware of someone entering your room, and you hear their voice and experience it in your dream?

Lucid dreams are merely an extended state of Hypnagogia. It is yet to be researched, but it is claimed that we can control what we dream through lucid dreaming.

But it doesn’t reveal the connection between parallel reality and dreams.

Dreams can be more vivid than life itself.

Many authors claim to write their books based on a dream they had.

Our minds use space and time to present reality together. Perception is reality; everything we see and feel is real. Therefore, dreams are real; they physically do exist.

Scientists claim that dreams are associated with real-life happenings, and it is impossible to dream about people we haven’t met in real life because our subconscious works on pictures and images we have seen in real life.

It might be a parallel reality:

Do you hear a vague echo and realize that you woke up? However, you’re not in your dream anymore.

Nightmares are a challenge, they say. When we get up suddenly after experiencing a nightmare, we think we’re out of it. But what if that challenge IS happening in a parallel reality?

Why do we forget our dreams? No one questions that, even though life with that curiosity.

This is how the human memory works. It works based on emotions. “Nobody has a bad memory; it is based on the impact of our emotions,” according to Master Sri Akarshana.

You can watch his YouTube video here.

He believes that when we are awake, it is the physical dimension from which we should awake and enter into another dimension, our dreams or parallel reality.

The idea of the multiverse has yet to be accepted. However, though dimensions exist, most of the time, we cannot interpret them.

Does the Parallel universe exist?

Discoveries, especially regarding deep-sea, space, and many more staggering facts, are yet to be unveiled. For example, only 5% of the ocean has been discovered compared to the space.

So in rare cases, it is believed that dreams might be from a parallel universe.

Life is more than a physical reality.
