A Balcony full of amazement


I saw this dream, around 3 months back, but it was so amazing that i noted it down.
The dream goes in this manner:

My balcony was visible from my bed, through the window. I woke up (in the dream) to see two lovers kissing each other in my balcony. Out of my curiosity, I entered the balcony to catch them. Frightened, they changed into pigeons and flew away but I was really shocked by this incident.
 
Then I looked to the ground & noticed that all the slums that used to be there were absent. Instead there was a circular structure like a colloseum and two high-rises which had fallen down to the ground due to a calamity and people were coming out of them. Then I saw flying sleeping bags with people resting in them. There were very large bat-like birds flying here and there and a crow was heading directly towards me. As soon as it entered my balcony, it died. But the most amazing thing was that it’s body structure was just like a crow but it was blue in color.
I called my mother to see the blue crow and she was also astonished to see it.

Then I saw Batman’s flash-light logos, exactly 3 of them, in the sky but none of them looked real. The bat in the logo was made by someone by arranging his hands in a manner that their shadow looked like a bat.




 
I grabbed my camera to capture those moments, which would act as a proof of my witnessing all that.
But after some time, when i tried to show these pictures to my brother , they had changed to some kind of advertisement, like of a Hollywood film.
I have tried to show the kind of advertisement I saw, in the picture below:


Then i connected my camera to a PC, because PCs have better searching and organizing options.
But all i saw was Itunes, 100’s of album covers in it & the pictures were not there.
 And then i really woke up.

This all gave me a brief look at the power of creativity that my and probably others’ minds have.
And it also proved to me that there really exists an inner mind which is known by many names e.g. subconscious mind, universal self, depth mind etc.
This is because every scene in my dream looked so great like if it was a film directed by a great Hollywood director.
My inner mind imagined quite creative things that I can’t imagine in my wits e.g. Blue crow, flying sleeping bags, film advertisement and 100’s of album covers which looked like they were created by intelligent human beings.

All these things were created in my mind, just at the moment. This shows the power of the human brain. And if we could control this power, what miracles could be done!!

The Anatomy of Reality

Have you ever thought that why is the world the way it is, why can't we just control objects around us by just our will, or why can't we move a wand and get our things done on their own?
The answer can't be an absolute "NO". Because we all have thought about all this, atleast in the childhood, when our mothers or grandmothers told us the mystical and unbelievable stories of the fairies, talking animals, heavenly Gods etc.
We all have seen Harry Potter, Spider Man, Narnia and different magical movies of our times.
But as the innocence and the gullibility of the childhood passes by, we tend to realize that none of it is true.
Thus we are taught by others and from our own experience that whatever we can see, hear, touch, taste and smell is the only reality.

In other words, we are constantly forced by the surroundings to think that, what our five senses can sense is the only reality around us.
But the truth can be a bit different.

Let's take a person named "Chiku".

Chiku is congenitally (from birth) blind and has not talked about vision with anyone in his whole life and is 20 years old, thus not a child. He is left with just four senses- Audition(hearing), Taste, Touch and Smell.
Now if you try to teach Chiku about light and its nature, the beautiful colours of the rainbow, your reflection in the mirror, he will probably laugh at you and say that he doesn't believe in magic, mystical creatures and childish imaginations. Because for him, a real object is something his four senses can sense and everything else is mystical, divine, magical, whatever you call it.
He just cannot feel the sense of vision and has never felt it.

Now if, with the help of some medical treatment or some eye transplant or whatever, we can make him to see, it will be a marvellous, enlightening, or maybe a divine experience for him.
He may think of being in a dream and may require some time to get used to watching things.

Now think of all of us as Chiku, we have all the five senses, but we may still miss something that we can't even imagine, maybe some organ that can be used for telepathy(talking to other people without conversing, just talking through our minds).

So, there can be many different feelings we just can't sense, so we are left with the idea that things we sense are the only reality but in fact, reality can be much more unreal.
