I belive the world of dreams is another world just as real as the wakeing world. This is why I think it is a mistake not to explore this world, but thats not my point here. What my point is is that I belive these other figures you encounter in dreams are certainly real entities and not simply products of your imagination, they are spirits or inoganic lifeforms or even other dreamers. Contact with known others through the dream medium has been known to happen, although i've not yet done it. I think once I get good enough at this I will be able to summon the presence of my known colleagues in my dreams. I've done stranger things than this, and like I mentioned before, anything is possible here. I get excited about this stuff.

what I learned at a course I took was once we sleep, we go into the astral plane which is another dimension. other than having fun, you really can develop spiritually. there are spiritual beings in the astral plane that can help you with this. of course there are also the negative entities but there are ways to deal with them

Empty Wisdom - Do you read Castaneda??
I used to practice this after reading Carlos Castanedas Art of Dreaming. And this was before I experienced any psychedelics. I always remember the one time where I actually did dream I was flying over my body - however All I remember after that is I got really scared and woke up in a fright and with a bit of sweat. I didnt want to do it after that. Im interested again lately though...
