11th March - Dreams, Deep Sleep & the Continuity of Self
Are dreams a doorway to the deeper subconscious, perhaps a communication channel to deeper layers of reality? Or are they just a mix of random images with no meaning?
Tomorrow's session is inspired by questions from Arezky, Robert, Shane and other creative members which you can see below. If you've got any thoughts or insights to share, would great to hear in the comments underneath.
If you have a question, here is a guide to submitting it.
I'm looking forward to an inspiring conversation that might change how we think of sleep, dreams and our relationship to reality...
Looking forward to seeing you soon!

Are Dreams a Fundamentally Substantive Human Language? - Shane Nagle
And if so, is it possible M@L uses Dreams to communicate directly to it's alters using Feelings (attraction, repulsion, acceptance / peace) and Images (symbols / association / meaning) as guiding principles?
What exists in the subconscious mind - Matt B / Jeff followed up
What exists, right now, in our unconscious/subconscious/'obfuscated minds'? Is it the same kinds of mental content we experience at the metaconscious level—thoughts, emotions, memories, beliefs, etc.—but floating around in deeper mind space, looping in on themselves, impinging on and modulating each other, without our knowing, occasionally surfacing where we can report back to ourselves?
How are dreams different from life? - Robert
Since brains are how the localization of consciousness looks like, shouldn't it be impossible to have a dream in which you don't have a brain, if you open up your skull in the dream? The brain should always be present as the localization of your agency in the dream/real life.
What causes a sense of continuity after deep sleep? - Arezky
Time (thoughts), Space (sensations) and continuity
I understand and accept that time appears with mind (thoughts and memories), and space appears with body (sensations and perceptions).
When dreaming, there is no space, as sensations and perceptions are absent. When dreaming there is only time because there is only mind (the activity of dreaming)
In deep sleep, there is no time or space because the mind and body are absent.
Then, how the mind and body know where to return when waking up to a waking state.
Why do we come back to the same "place" in space and the same "moment" in time when waking up if all the information "was lost" in deep sleep every night?
Why do I not return to another place or another time every day when waking up
What causes the sense of continuity in my life and the place I live?
