What if you woke up?*

What if you—or any of us, for that matter—woke up?

Woke up from our personal and collective human dream?

Woke up from our space-time-physicality-duality-morality dream?

Woke up from our conscious mind-produced-and-directed dream?

What if we—each of us, all of us, you and I—woke up from this “reality”

and began to dream a different dream, experience a parallel reality,

enter into a different dimension of awareness?

What if …?

Here’s my theory for your consideration. We might even call it a quantum theory.

First, let’s assume that life itself—existence, creation—is a collection of dreams,

Multiple dreams that allow us to experience multiple realities.

Second, let’s use young children as a convenient reference for one of those dreams.

Little kids live in a unique dream field. To many of these young dreamers,

life is all about play, imagination, make-believe and adventure.

These precious little humans are mostly carefree explorers, pretend-filled adventurers.

Their human dream is dedicated to the pursuit of possibilities,

the embrace of ‘what ifs,’ the ongoing experience of wonder.

It’s a freedom-filled dream, a discovery-rich reality, a carefree existence.

Slowly, though, their childhood dream changes. It moves to the back burner,

one that we have come to call our ‘sub-conscious mind.’

They’ve now entered into a different dream: that of the ‘conscious mind.’

In this new dream, they become acutely aware of several new ‘realities’—

those of time and space, physicality, duality and morality, as examples.

They’re now dreaming about a life of expectations, responsibilities, work.

This is the human dream that we all know so well:

the dream masterfully orchestrated and directed by our conscious mind.

But what if we all woke up from this dream that we consider ‘conscious’—

and explore other dreams, ones that lie right under our noses awaiting our view?

What if, for example, an imaginary bolt of lightening suddenly penetrated our brain,

magically awakening—indeed, freeing—us from our conscious mind’s dream world?

What other dream world might we be present to?

My guess is that those of us who have felt a calling to a soul-centered or spiritual life

might wake up to the unique dream of our ‘super-conscious mind’—

a realm of ‘light’ where spirit replaces physicality, unity does away with duality,

love takes the place of morality and an infinite light field replaces the limitations of space.

Here, we begin to dream the realm of angels, saints, divinity and pure wonder.

Then again, if life here on earth has felt too cumbersome and complex for your tastes

and you’ve been yearning for a life of simplicity,

you just might wake up into a dream of essence and/or ‘being’—

I call it our ‘essential mind’—

a one-dimensional space of simplicity and essence wherein everything just is as it is.

Here, we experience no distinctions or evaluations, no good-versus-bad judgments.

It’s just a world of pure being in which we appreciate and celebrate everything and everyone

simply for who, what and how they are.

But wait. There’s more.

In fact, there are many more dreams to be experienced.

Dreams about different universes, alternate dimensions, distinctive life forms, etc.

Dreams of worlds that exist outside of time or in realities other than space.

These dreams are unlimited, and they’re just waiting for us to discover them.

How do we “get there (to those dreams) from here”? you might ask.

Lucky you! I have an answer for you. Here it is:

By first entering the most foundational dream of them all:

the dream of the quantum void!

If your internal quantum roots have been calling out to you

(I’m assuming, from the fact that you’re reading this, that they have been!),

inviting you to discover and live more fully in your quantum nature,

then chances are that, in the wake of your lightening bolt awakening,

you just might wake up anew to the unique dream of the quantum world—

the dream of your ‘quantum mind,’ or ‘ur-conscious mind.’

Here, there’s no one to be seen, nothing exists, everything around you is empty.

In fact, there’s not even a human ‘you’ here at all.

Just pure consciousness, only complete nothingness

and an entire void-filled realm of invisible and unformed potential.

This is the ‘zero dimensional’ dream—

the birthing place of every other dream, the mother of all dreams, if you will.

Once you’ve awakened into this world, you realize something quite spectacular:

There’s nothing else to be experienced here at all

except infinite possibilities, all just waiting to be dreamed by this quantum source.

Yes, this realm serves as your door-way to every dream

being dreamed by SourceForce—all ga-zillions of them

being dreamed from pure nothingness, from wonder-filled imagination alone.

Indeed, as you sit in this lap of nothing-ness,

you’re privy to the everything-ness of creation.

You’ve got a free pass to accessing every imaginable creation (alias, dream or movie),

either individually or collectively—all at the same time.

Imagine yourself viewing these five styles of dreams simultaneously—

those of your dream-filled conscious mind, sub-conscious mind,

super-conscious mind, essential mind and quantum mind.

Imagine your conscious mind being a team member rather than a solo act—

sharing its dream space equally with all these other four minds.

Imagine having immediate access not just to your conscious mind’s dream,

but to all five dreams that live and thrive within your internal awareness.

Picture your personal consciousness not as a singular movie screen,

but as a multi-plex, cine-plex theatre boasting 5 (or more)-screens,

where five (or more) different movies are playing simultaneously,

each one at your disposal at any moment of need or desire.

Imagine …!

QUANTUM SOURCE ... QUANTUM WORLD ... QUANTUM VOID ... QUANTUM YOU!
