Ed032, Enjoy!
{Ed032\'s Note - Thanks, Tj70, and enjoy I did. I have heard his voice many times before (mixed in with other informational videos/audio) without knowing who he was. I assume, without looking yet as I wanted to reply to you first, that he has a/some book(s)?. I need to purchase one/them.
It is really strange (or not?) that you have mentioned him and dreams at this particular time, as it goes. As I have been wanting to ask what people\'s opinions were of them. Dreams.
Basically, for the last several months, every night and I mean every night, I have been having a recurring dream. Now when I say recurring, it wasn\'t the same dream or even the same place but it felt like and was the same \'reality\' or \'realm\'.
It would be difficult for me to explain them, in total detail, to someone because they have all been \'vast\' and \'epic\'. And the more I try and think about them, when awake, the more distant they become. But within these dreams I have been the same as I am now, here as I type. All that burdens me, my troubles, my problems, my thoughts, have all been echoed within this \'dream-realm\'. I am always the same \'ME\'.
I have woken from them when I get overwhelmed, perhaps for a breather?, and then I have purposely been able to (go back to sleep?) re-enter the same dream, at the same place I awoke, to continue on with the journey and complete their stories.
Sometimes I wake in a prolific sweat and my heart rate maxed out (pushing over 200bpm. I have a Garmin 945 as I run in the very early mornings and monitor everything including sleep) other times I am calm, refreshed and reinvigorated. But as stated, it has always been leaving, when I awake, the same \'dream-realm\'.
I feel that you have given me some guidance to understand by sharing with me, the above, and given me a name, Alan Watts, so that I may find some understanding to all this I speak of.
Really appreciated, Tj70. Thank you. :)

Hi Ed,
Alan Watts does have lots of books and more vids on YouTube than is possible to watch!
He died years ago so I\'m presuming someone controls his estate? He was a very deep thinker and was able to articulate in a way that is possible to follow.
I\'m no expert in dreams or their analysis but have touched upon lucid dreaming and perhaps more pertinently the understanding that our brains can be seen as an antenna to the background consciousness. This gained knowledge can be expressed as inspiration or insight and has been credited with many a geniuses work. Dreams are a way of expressing this understanding.
It is equally possible that your dreams are the way of your consciousness absorbing, filtering and making sense of the current situation and your response to it. Dreams are patterns interpreted as we file this input and periods of intense dreaming are reflective of current experiences.
Knowledge has undoubtedly been hidden on a large scale (flat earth, technologies, timelines etc) but also think about the little stuff that gives us clues. What about Row Row Row your boat gently down the stream etc etc life is but a dream. Your boat is your life and experience and you steer it gently through lifes path (stream) and it is nothing but a dream!
Once we understand we are in a dream it takes the edge of slightly and we know that one way or another we will return to our spiritual self. I can picture myself when I die saying .WTF was that all about! :)

{Ed032\'s Note - Thanks, Tj70.
I have managed to acquire probably a vast chunk of Alan Watt\'s work. 41 books and a pretty epic array of audiobooks (Out of Your Mind - The Essential Lectures) so I have a solid base to start looking more in-depth at his point of view and knowledge.
I used to try a lot at \'lucid dreaming\' a few times achieving it but it\'s something I haven\'t been looking at for 20 years or so. I agree when you say it takes the edge off. Makes it more of a game with infinite lives. What I am experiencing now is not like this. But it does appear that I can leave and enter them at will which you may feel contradicts that. It is all very strange.
And, yes, nuggets of truth hidden everywhere. I like your \'row the boat\' analogy and your very last sentence literally made me laugh out loud which is unusual for me first thing in the morning as I always wake up to my \'pain\'. So I thank you for that haha :)
The whole dream topic, such as where you state that the brain could possibly an antenna to a back ground consciousness, to me I feel there is some link (possibly) to the \'memory\' of water. I have posted a few videos on this subject and it is a subject that intrigues me very much.
Appreciate your thoughts, thanks.
