Does anyone else have a dream world that is fleshed out in your

It's not something I have a say in "building" so to speak but sometimes when I dream the locations are the same. Same places, same buildings that have been used for various dreams almost like a movie set.

I'm sure if I sat down and thought about it long enough I could build a "map" of sorts of all the reoccuring locations in my dreams and what they are in correlation to the real world. Usually most of the time they have little to know semblance of the area at all. I.E Virginia Beach VA IRL is sort of a suburb with a beach, not much of a beach town. In my dream world lots of fields of cat tails, salt water marshes and small towny type things, country road style and a small tucked away beach.

Yes OP, you can achieve this "dream world" through meditation and visualisation. It can then be accessible to you even in your waking hours of course.

wow, your physical description is so similar to mine

not op

Wait...really? Do you have any sources or documentation or maybe even a tutorial? I would kill for more information

Morning! Sorry for not answering earlier but thread (as well as rest of /x) is terribly slow. So yes really. Through meditation you must sharpen your concentration and visualisation skill. Being able to focus on a single point for minutes at a time. Then you begin enriching that point, slowly but surely, knowing how it looks like, how it smells, what is its color etc. Soon it can be an object. Then a small room. Then a house, a yard and so on, your own personal mental sanctuary where you know every nook and cranny inside out. This will help you greatly with your meditation, plus you will be able to visit it mentally anytime,not only during meditation. As for sources, you can use any technique you feel more comfortable with. Focus your search on visualization techniques. Ive got a couple of books gimme some time to go through them to give you useful reading material k?

Ok i will be posting those reads i promised. Remember, while they seem unrelated they all focus on meditation and visualization. Take what you need, discard the rest.
1. Kundalini yoga by swami sivananda

>>17511344
2. The shamanic journey (search this, very,very helpful and illuminating)

3. Prometheus Rising

Yes!

I've been dreaming about this place since I was a kid. I guess it's sort of like the real world but there seems to be a sinister/sad/ghostlike element to it.

When I was a kid something happened in the dreamworld. Some sort of post-apocalyptic/fucked up event. It sort of felt like time was over and there was only some sort of eternal emptiness present. In any case it made me run around the house screaming/hallucinating. But it stopped around puberty, and the dreamworld kinda morphed into this sinister, post-real world.

For example, recently I dreamed that I was exploring this abandoned hospital/institution or something, and the deeper you went into the place, the more sinister it felt. I remember the bathrooms were also burial grounds or some shit, and also tire marks from cars would change into this rainbow color and then 'leave the road', i.e. instead of being on the asphalt, they'd rise into the air and head towards the sky.

4. Liber Null & Psychonaut

>>17511363
5. Lucid Dreaming techniques. WILD and others.

>>17511367
6. The Book of Knowledge (very very good, make this among your first reads)

>>17511361
I understand completely, i used to have an apocalyptic world too..still do actually but only for emotional reasons. These reads i posted are pretty basic and should set you on the path. Meditation/visualization is the way to harness that mental/spiritual power. There is plenty more to read of course but youll find them on the way :)

I might read Prometheus Rising. I've already read Cosmic Trigger by RAW, and enjoyed it quite a bit. He comes across as quite real and open with a lot of stuff, without actually 'believing' in a lot of stuff. Acceptance without heavy ideology. I guess I sort of feel the same way.

To tell you the truth when i started, i merely wanted to read about useful and easy techniques on meditation and lucid dreaming for absolute beginners such as i was. The ideology, philosophy and so on i see them just as a bonus, so i agree with you :D
