7 Signs Life is a Dream

When I first started my YouTube channel I promised I would be going down some rabbit holes on the nature of reality – and today I make good on that promise. Buckle up! Cause here we go!!!

Have you ever had the feeling there is more going on behind the surface of reality than what meets the eye? I have! My wild dreams have actually opened the door for me, and led me to do some pretty eye-opening digging into the nature of reality, and whether or not life is actually a dream!

In this article I will lay out 7 signs to support my hypothesis that life IS actually a DREAM!

1: Dreams within Dreams

If you’ve ever seen the movie Inception, you know this concept. And if you’ve ever had a dream inside a dream, or a dream in which you false-waken, you know how crazy that can feel!! Once time I had a lucid dream that I ‘woke up’ from into another dream, where I watched all these people acting out their own dreams that only they could see – like they were playing virtual reality games without the headsets – and then I woke up for real, in my bed!

I’ve had other dreams where I’ve dreamed inside the dream, then started telling people in my dream about the dream I just had, IN MY DREAM! It’s the worst when I write down my dreams IN MY DREAMS, and when I wake up I don’t actually have them written down in my journal and I forgot most of them.

Experiences like this make me wonder when I’m gonna wake up from THIS DREAM! IF there is no limit to how many dreams we can dream at a time, who’s to say THIS isn’t just another elaborate dream that we are going to wake up from at some point and be like Woah what a crazy dream I just had!

It’s like Russian nesting dolls. Who’s to say we are the biggest one?!

2: DMT is Naturally Occurring in our Brain!

We know a LOT about our physical bodies – our cardiovascular system, our nervous system, our skin, our bone structure – but we still don’t know much about consciousness and where it actually comes from.

DMT – Dimethyltryptomine - is a psychoactive compund has been called the Spirit molecule or God molecule. It is a naturally occurring compound found in plants and animals and some of these plants are used to brew Ayhuasca – a phsychoactive brew whos effects are similar to LSD and magic mushrooms. People who have used DMT report feelings of euphoria, and feeling as if they have left their body and travelled to another realm. Many report it as feeling more real than real!

Interestingly, DMT occurs naturally in our brains and has been linked to our Pineal Glands – the pineal gland is a small structure in our brain that influences the sleep cycle and regulates melatonin. DMT aiding our dreams could definitely account for how REAL they feel!

In 2019 New research was done that expands our understanding of the role DMT plays in our bodies - the study indicated that the rat brain is capable of synthesizing and releasing (DMT). Scientists suspect that the same could be true in humans. (link: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/06/190627113951.htm)

It basically showed that DMT is more than likely floating around in our bodies all the time – in levels similar to dopamine and serotonin – if this is true, what does that mean for reality and how the brain works? Why is it in our brains AND our Spinal fluid at such high levels? Is it effecting our perception? Does this support Elon Musk’s Simulation theory??

Is reality a partial hallucination? People who have taken Ahuhasca report being in a place that feels more real than reality – you know what else feels like that?? DREAMS – Especially Lucid Dreams!

Could this new research behind DMT be another indicator that life is a DREAM??

On a side note, I’m actually SUPER CURIOUS now, about what would happen if we were able to turn OFF the DMT in our bodies? Would solid reality just disappear? Would that be even more mind blowing than an Ayhuasca trip?!

3: Simulation Theory

In 2003 Nick Bostrom of the University of Oxford wrote a seminal paper about the simulation argument and ever since it has been a hot topic among philosophers, physicists, and technologists.

In a nutshell, simulation theory proposes:

• Over the past few decades, video games, CGI, graphics, etc. (simulations) have gotten exponentially better. Think about the first video game you played when you were a kid, and what is available now. We even have virtual reality now!

• Assuming humanity doesn’t destroy itself, technology will keep on advancing, and these simulations will continue to get better.

• Eventually, these simulations will get so good they will become indistinguishable from reality.

• Countless simulations will be running, leaving it statistically more likely that we’re in one of these simulations, rather than in “true” reality.

• Finally, if this is the case, who is to say we aren’t actually living in a simulation right now!

Elon Musk has even popularized the idea by stating that the odds we are in base reality is one in billions – at a 2016 conference.

I will take this one step further and add in the findings from the DMT study we just talked about – and not only do you have your WHAT – simulation theory – but your HOW – are we all tripping and halluciniating reality through naturally occurring DMT in our bodies?

If the simulation theory is true, then we are actually a part of something much bigger than ourselves – we are a dream of a dreamer, who could be a dream of a dreamer of a dreamer…. Back to that Russian nesting doll thing again…

I like to think of this theory less like living in a simulated computer program, but more in a sprititual sense, where we are part of something bigger than ourselves that is a lot less creepy than being in a video game.

4: Waking Signs and Synchronicities

Did you know waking life is FULL of signs, synchronicites and symbols that can be interpreted just like DREAM symbols?? Once you start playing games with the universe, you will see first hand how flexible and dream-like life is!

TRY IT! One simple game you can play with the universe is to ask it a question and then go out and look for signs and synchronicities. I did this in a video called – LIFE IS LIKE A DREAM – check it out on my YouTube Channel.

In the video I asked the universe for some clarity on a dream I’d just had, and ended up on an adventure involving snow on a sunny day!

Another game you can play is called Bibliomancy and it involves asking a question to the universe, then flipping through a random book at random, finding a random page and phrase, and relating it to your question. IT IS CRAZY how well this works!!

So, I submit waking signs and synchronicities as another sign that Life is a Dream. Once you “Wake up” to the fact that life is LITERALLY like a dream, in that it speaks to us in very dream-like and magical ways, you start to see the hidden ways the universe works through us every day. We start to see the deeper order of events play out.

Playing games with the universe REALLY starts to open you up to a whole different reality beyond this one. And on a side note, it actually increases your dream recall too.

5: Disappearing Object Phenomenon

Have you ever noticed an object go missing only to reappear days or weeks later, right where you knew you left it?! I have, SO MANY TIMES!!

It got me digging into something called Disappearing Object Phenomenon.

Typically, a DOP involves an object that the person had just been using or that they invariably keep in one particular place. When they go to use the object, it is gone. The person looks high and low for the object, often getting others involved in the search, but it cannot be found. A short time later, or perhaps the next day, the person is surprised to find the object returned to the spot where it is always kept or in some other obvious place where the search should have found it.

What happened here? Where did the object go? Why did it "disappear"? How was it returned? What forces are at work in this highly strange yet relatively commonplace phenomenon?

THIS HAPPENS TO ME A LOT

There are some instances where this can be explained. Like, a person simply misplaced a hairbrush or forgot where they put it. But, this DOP possibility falls apart when the hairbrush is later found on the dressing table in its usual spot. Unless the person was experiencing temporary blindness with regard to this one object, then other possibilities must be considered.

It’s also possible that someone in the household borrowed or moved it. But this possibility can be eliminated if the person lives alone or when other family members are not around when the DOP occurs.

Of course, it could be a GHOST!

Or… the object could became temporarily invisible. Although, if temporary invisibility is somehow possible, it raises many questions: Like, how and why is this possible? Does it have something to do with the human or the circumstances?

OR… disappearing objects could be blamed on dimensional shifts. If we exist in a Multiverse, objects could theoretically slip into other dimensions temporarily, only to come back at some other point in time.

OR… it could be a glitch in the Matrix…

OR - all of the above could be true because LIFE IS A DREAM and therefore doesn’t always follow the rules of physical reality :)

6: The Mandella Effect

If you haven’t heard of the Mandella effect yet, get ready to have your mind BLOWN.

The Mandela effect is an unusual phenomenon where a large group of people remember something differently than it apparently actually happened. Like half the world disagrees on stuff that happened.

Some people believe this is proof of alternate universes interacting with each other, while others think it just proves how imperfect human memory can be.

It is called the Manela effect because a HUGE number of people remembered former South African President Nelson Mandela dying in the 1980s in prison and were later shocked to learn he actually died in 2013.

Many people remember specific news coverage of his death Yet none of it happened.

Even though the event never happened, SO many people felt like it did and hence, the Mandela effect concept was “born.”

Some examples include:

The Berenstein Bears vs. The Berenstain Bears. Some people swear the spelling was always the same and others disagree. It has apparently always been the “Berenstain Bears.”

Jif vs. Jiffy logo. Jif is a popular brand of peanut butter, but many people remember the brand’s label a little differently — specifically as Jiffy.

Looney Tunes vs. Looney Toons logo. Many people think the logo for the Warner Brothers’ cartoons was spelled “Looney Toons.” Actually, it’s “Looney Tunes.”

‘I am your father.’ Many people who quote this famous line in “Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back” say, “Luke, I am your father.” However, Darth Vader actually says, “I am your father.” There is no “Luke” at all.

There are hundreds to thousands of examples of the Mandela effect across entertainment, logos, and even geography.

Some think this could be different timelines interacting with each other. Like, our timeline split at some point and half of society remembers certain things one way and the other remembers it how it actually happened in THIS timeline - OR it could be another indicator that reality is flexible and life is a DREAM

7: NDE’s and QHHT

SO MANY people have come back from Near Death Experiences with many of the same reports. Many report feeling more alive than alive! They come back with proof that consciousness exists even when our physical bodies die.

When they wake up beyond the veil – are they waking up from the simulation??

Even more interesting than NDE’s (I think) are stories from QHHT hypnosis:

If you’ve never heard of Delores Cannon or QHHT Hypnosis, you are in for a treat! If this kind of stuff interests you, look her up!

Dolores Cannon developed a method of hypnosis, Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique℠ (QHHT®), that puts people into a state which under ordinary circumstances is experienced only twice daily: the moment just before you become consciously awake and the moment just before you fall asleep. It puts them into the Hypnagogic/Hypnopompic state!! Could this be any more like dreaming?!

In the past, hypnotists usually avoided putting subjects in this state because of the often strange results that are recorded. But not Dolores Cannon. This was her sweet spot. She used this state to help her subjects retrace not only past lives, but the time spent IN BETWEEN LIVES – and often her past life regressions would be full of past lives on OTHER PLANETS! Regardless of the subjects age, religious affiliation, gender, etc. Nearly all of them had wild stories that were super similar and lined up with each other! Even talking about earth and why we are here.

It’s seriously fascinating stuff – whether you choose to believe it or not – it is wild.

So QHHT and NDE’s are another of my indicators that LIFE IS A DREAM! If we move on after this life – Is this life just a level of reality nested inside another level of reality? Like a DREAM!

This opens up so much more to me too – if we are a smaller Russian doll, nestled inside a bigger one, what is nestled inside us?! Are OUR dreams more real than we think?? DO they take on lives of their own??

Told you – rabbit hole… LOL

So what if Life IS A DREAM?? How does that change the way you live your life? DOES it? IF there is more to reality than meets the eye, I like to think I must be here for a reason, and I like to think that reason it so just BE and EXPERIENCE STUFF. In dreams we play out all kinds of scenarios and we don’t pressure ourselves to be or do anything special. We just DREAM. So if life is a dream, I like to think it can be experienced the same way 😊 Maybe one day I’ll wake up and interpret all of this like a dream!

Like wow I dreamed that I taught people about dreaming…

Happy Dreaming!
