David Wilcock - Awakening in the Dream; Contact with the Divine : Contact with the Divine

The light bulb was burning brightlydespite all the glass being shattered. Shards of broken glass jutted out from the metallic base of the bulb like angry teeth, catching the starry glint of the filament as it continued glowing. And there he was. A mysterious black man sat crying on the staircase of our family home. His filthy clothes were drenched in sweat and tears. He was shielding his face with both hands as he sobbed, resting his elbows on his knees. He was not invited. I had no idea who he was, what he was doing in our house, or why he was crying. Looking again to the fragile tungsten filament, lit up perfectly without the protective shroud of the glass bulb, it happened. Light bulbs cannot burn when the glass is broken. What I am seeing right now is impossible. My God, I must be dreaming! None of this is real! And yet here I am, right now! Awake in the dream!

At that moment, I was overwhelmed with emotions. My body, or whatever my mind decided that my body was at that moment, surged with an almost unspeakable power of ecstasy. I didnt know who the man was and now it didnt even matter. I had finally done it. After weeks worth of practice and multiple failed attempts, I had awakened within a dream for the first timebecoming fully conscious and lucid. And now I had an agenda. The books had promised godlike abilities in a lucid dream, and I wanted to test them out. I willed myself to fly right through the thick brown wood of the front doorand it presented no resistance whatsoever. I glided above the white birch tree in our front yarda much better experience than any climbing I had done in it as a boy. I quickly rose up and looked down at our house from a birds-eye view, fully free.

I knew my body was safely asleep in my room, waiting for me to drift back to it as soon as I finished my epic adventure. In this form, I could go anywhere, be anyone, and do anything. I was a superhero. The only limit was my imagination. And as any practitioner of lucid dreaming will tell you, this phenomenon feels every bit as real as any waking experience you could ever haveif not more so. You transcend into a reality that words do not adequately describe, but might best be thought of as hyperreal. Your awareness becomes vastly more effective and all-encompassing than in any conventional state. Thoughts come rushing into your mind at an impressive speed, manifesting themselves into beautifully intricate structures before you even have a chance to ask the questions they answer. Limitless knowledge is there for the taking, with no effort whatsoever. And despite the awesome power of that experience, none of it seems to matter because you are so emboldened by the present moment. It is not at all uncommon for a lucid dreamer to conclude, I have never truly been awake before.

Little did I know that within a few years, my lucid-dreaming research would plunge me into a world that seems completely supernatural by most peoples standards. I would eventually come into direct contact with angelic, human-looking extraterrestrial beings who helped me completely reenvision science and spirit into a new and greater unified whole. The beings also helped me to identify a huge wealth of new evidence and proof that would help make the case. I would learn that these people initially reach out to you through dreams, synchronicities, and visionary experiences. They proved over and over again that they could predict the future as easily as if they were reading a book. And they would soon pass along the greatest message of all: namely that we are right on the threshold of a spectacular mass evolutionary event many have called Ascension. I have uncovered far more than enough scientific evidence to make a very compelling case for this, as I have presented in my previous books. For those of us who do the homework and prepare ourselves for this fascinating global transformation, our everyday lives will become indistinguishable from a lucid dream. The awesome popularity of superhero films may be another way in which our mass, collective subconscious mind is preparing us for what may be comingfar sooner than we would have ever believed possible. We may well find ourselves awakening within the dream we once were so convinced was reality.

These angelic beings also reveal that the only way to prepare ourselves for this mass awakening is to be genuinely dedicated to following a path of service to otherspracticing forgiveness, compassion, patience, love, and understanding in our daily lives as our primary motivation. This is the core message of all great spiritual traditions. If we apply these principles as a regular practice, we have the potential to experience a quantum leap in human evolution that is almost unthinkable in its scope and power. The lucid-dreaming experience can give us a marvelous sneak preview of what our new lives as Ascended beings will be like. The study and analysis of dreams has always been a very essential part of my work that made everything else possible, and this book is the first time I have ever presented a deep examination of what I was doing and how I did it.
