Over the past two years I have really been exploring how I found myself in this place in this infinite universe. I have come to my own conclusions that may be the theories of many other, or may be my own. These involve everything from evolution to why I buy things. One of the things I wanted to discuss was the meaning of life, because I believe dreaming and lucid dreaming to be one of the great achievements in utilizing our design.
So I guess I’m not really talking about the meaning of life, but instead why we are the way we are. Basically to keep this post short and allow others to share their ideas.
Human beings fell in their place to use drugs. Clearly not only to use illicit drugs, but the drugs that are in our bodies. Our life styles have evolved and adapted to the purpose of our drug addictions.
When humans became this world moved from the being that simple lived to the being that lived to enjoy life. When we enjoy life we are doing a drug. When you buy something you like, you are getting a small rush from the drugs in your head. When you smoke pot you are doing drugs. When you eat you are satisfying a physiological requirement that stops a certain drug from being released. When you get plastic surgery you are doing drugs. The bost in confidence and ego is clearly a result of the drugs that you are now self administuring.
I may be highlighting something that is plainly obvious, so I know I don’t need to go into deep reflection, because the idea isn’t that deep, but the implications are.
Society has formed to create a more sustainable feeling or drug. We can work to get any kind of fix we want. We don’t just get the fixes we are good at by trade, but any we can afford. Religion attempts to offer a fix that is not based on anything tangible. Therefor requires nothing to give you the feeling, or your drug. I believe that dreaming and lucid dreaming clearly falls into that category. Many people have described that coming off of a good lucid dream can be like coming down from a drug. I can concure. Aside from this, dreaming is something that you don’t need money for. There is an endless supply of dreams to be had, thus an endless suply of nuerochemicals for you to enjoy in any way you like. YOU HAVE POUNDS OF THEM IN YOUR HEAD!
Enough! I know this isn’t original or anything, but it just seems so important to recognize in the beyond dreaming category.
