Afternoon Astral Projection & Lap Of Luxury
After getting not nearly enough sleep last night, I slipped into the study lounge around 11:30 and, after reading some of
Greg Egan
's
Diaspora
, fell into a light
nap
(ideal for
lucid dream
ing). I awaken in the lounge, other students silently scribbling or reading. Muted sunlight slants in through the window slats, warming my body sprawled on the couch. Then I wake again, still on the couch, fellow students still scribbling. And again. And again. One of those classic dreams where you go through a seemingly endless series of false
awakening
s. Dreams inside dreams inside dreams. For my own
psyche
, these inevitably serve as a kind of lesson or
selection effect
. It repeats until I become aware enough to do something different. So I finally wise up and rise from the couch upon my next iteration. I remember that I have been planning a specific act to perform while
lucid
. Walking out of the lounge I look for a quiet spot where I can sit in
solitude
. Unfortunately the couch I am sleeping on is hard and uncomfortable, so I am not firmly planted in the dream reality. I find a place and sit cross-legged with my back against a wall. Closing my eyes, I slow my breathing to my accustomed two breaths per minute. My intention is to practice some dream
meditation
as a launching pad for
astral projection
. But the hard couch foils my plans and I wake for the last time in the reality I haven't yet managed to wake up from. (
Well, at least not permanently.
)
Later that night... I am staying with my girlfriend in a luxurious
guest house
behind a new
mansion
her parents have bought. The building is white with
Roman
columns and filled with
antique
furniture. What we are really interested in, though, is the adjacent
bath house
. Inside there's a
sauna
and two huge tubs.
Genery
gets the big one going with hot water and we climb in for a relaxing soak. Later that night we're going to the
theatre
.
