I chose that pic 'cause it looked good for discussion. Anywho...

Last night, this topic about Han Solo veered off into a discussion on dreams. I think padme_amidala_770 only intended for the discussion to be casual, but I went and threw in some of my dream theories and look where it's at now. Welp, that's what I intend to discuss tonight; dreams and dream theories.

Padme asked, in that topic, if anyone had any dreams about Solo. I said that I didn't, as usually my dreams tend to be just downright weird, but I did have a recent (and odd) dream about Greedo (cue the picture's relevance!). I'm gonna relate that in a bit more detail here.

Anywho, that dream started off with me wandering the streets where I used to live. I haven't been there for years and years, and I often have dreams about it as that's where I grew up. Well, in the dream, I'm walking along with Greedo and we're just talking about random things. Ethics and political correctness was discussed (wow, even my dreams are nerdy), along with a few anecdotes and some laughs. Well, Greedo glances at his watch, turns to me and says "Welp, I gotta go. It was nice meeting you. See you again sometime." We exchange a hug... and I wake up wondering what in the hell that was about.

So, I tell this to a few friends and they said that the ending was kinda creepy. And when Padme related her Harrison Ford dreams, I started to think about my dream a bit more. I also started thinking about my old dream theories again as well.

None of these theories are founded to be true as they're just that; theories. Basically, I made 'em up based on what I observe are common themes in dreams.

Welp, overall, I believe that dreams are a way to access parallel dimensions and even channel psychic energy from others. And now I'm watching my credibility go down the toilet.

Anywho, hear me out for a moment. Y'know those "double-dreams" people occasionally have? The ones where you wake up, go about your morning routine and then... actually wake up. I'm sure you've had 'em before. They seem so real, you could've sworn you actually got up and outta bed, only to find that you're still curled up under the covers with the alarm clock blaring at you. Well, what I came up with regarding those dreams is that they're accessing a parallel universe. You're waking up, only not in your rightful universe.

The Aborigines have similar beliefs regarding dreams, in which they unlock a portion of your mind (or the universe) that is hidden in our waking lives. According to Wikipedia, "The Dreaming" often refers to the "time before time", "time outside of time" or "time of the creation of all things", as though it were the past. But The Dreaming in a real sense is also present and in the future. The Aborigines refer to it as "All-at-once" Time which is experienced as a co-existing confluence of past, present and future. Knowing this spurned my initial theories about dreams and alternate dimensions.

Ever have those extremely vivid dreams where you're in someplace you've never been before? Then later in your waking life, you either see or travel to that same place and immediatly have this sense of deja vu? Perhaps you had been there before, and not just in a dream. Perhaps you were "physically" there in another universe.

How else can one have such dreams and even prophetic dreams if there was no alternate reality? The information hasta be coming from somewhere! Perhaps the Force has a hand in that...

The only reason we can seemingly "access" these other realities in dreams and not our waking lives is 'cause due to what is ingrained in our brains, we only see what is physically there. The Aborigines considered the Everywhen of the Dreaming to be objective, whilst linear time was considered a subjective construction of waking consciousness of one's own lifetime From an early age, we are taught the Five Senses, and are expected to adhere to those. When any other senses are discussed, many regard 'em as a load of nonsense, as what they cannot physically see doesn't exist.

So, taking that all into account, my wacked-out theories don't seem so wacked-out anymore.

Anywho, what're your thoughts?
