Are characters in a dream conscious?

Post by j000rmas »

Me and you as alters of Mind at large are conscious. Me and other dreamed up characters at night are alters of an alter's mind?
And by this all of the dreamed up characters have their own point of view and their own subjective experience?

We are "altars" of Mind at large.
I like that :)

One of those typos that spellcheck can't help with ... no doubt the masters of AI are working on meaning-check 🤞
Here out of instinct or grace we seek
soulmates in these galleries of hieroglyph and glass,
where mutual longings and sufferings of love
are laid bare in transfigured exhibition of our hearts,
we who crave deep secrets and mysteries,
as elusive as the avatars of our dreams.

J000rnas ... That post can still be edited to 'alters', by clicking on the 'pencil' icon.

Would that be an alteration or an altaration?

Using Mod super powers, I've come to the rescue, so that 'altars' have been altered, morphed into conscious agents that, according to BK, 'altars' cannot be ... unless we're going with panpsychism :lol:

I had this precise experience when, in ritual vision space, I was told, "Do not look at altars, look in your own heart."
Be calm - Be clear - See the faults - See the suffering - Give your love
