Everything

[poliphilo]

Last night, as I was drifting off to sleep, a voice spoke in my right ear. It seemed to be a male voice and it spoke very clearly, though I knew it to be incorporeal. What it said was,  "You have seen everything."

I was once shown- again in a hypnagogic state- a series of 19th century photographic portraits- not the approximations one might expect in a dream but all clearly of "real" people.
I have no idea who they were.

It's strange and wonderful territory - like you say, much more "real" than dreams. I have no idea what to make of it much of the time, but it is quite fascinating.

I find it difficult to believe that my Victorian photographs were purely the creation of my own subconscious.

Since I come from a worldview that doesn't attribute everything to the subconscious (even dreams aren't that simplistic in my understanding), I don't try to enforce any beliefs on it. Especially in my hypnopompic experiences - they've been distinct personalities doing very intentional things, which I don't always understand. But as in a typical day, they range from random encounters to doing "business" or even seeing friends.

I agree with you.

I believe we are surrounded by intelligencies...

But maybe from the collective unconscious?

I doubt if they came from me.....
