The Awakening Metaphor: A Deep Dive Into Your Ego | Episode 02

Welcome to the second episode of "Awakened, Now What?!" Join me as we delve into why we use "awakening" as a metaphor for spiritual growth. In this thought-provoking discussion, we unravel the parallels between the dream world and our waking reality, with that of the ego and the true self. We explore the notion that just as dreams can transport us to alternate realities, the journey of awakening enables us to transcend the egoic consciousness and explore our true nature. Alongside this exploration, we touch upon the fascinating phenomenon of lucid dreaming, where we become conscious within the dream and gain the ability to shape our experience, just like we can become lucid in our walking life to do the same. Finally, as we navigate the depths of our own minds, we discover that awakening is not only about finding the true self, but also realizing that consciousness permeates everything and unites us all.

Dreamland is so vast. From completely nonsensical ruminations, to actual prophecies... I've experienced it all. I loved the insertion of what is actually happening in our body at the same time.

Yes!! There is so much more to cover... but all in due time ^_^ Imagination also plays a huge roll in our lives, which again, the brain cannot distinguish between dream, waking life, or imagination! Making us kind of hybrids -living both in the physical, and in the mental realms at the same time.

I love the exploration of dreams! I recently had a lucid dreaming experience, and it was so liberating being able to change the whole situation in the dream... and thinking back about it, seeing how this can be applied in real life too.

Exactly! Is gaining lucidity in waking life, and just like you continue to be in the dream after becoming lucid, yet way more empowered, we can practice being lucid and present in our waking life, whilst we continue playing out the story :D
