Answers to Questions
Original Source ↗1. Is it possible to map the universe, the surrounding world, and the Dreaming world?
Yes. This has been done since ancient times, as evidenced by maps, globes, and shamanic drawings. Several systems are used for spatial orientation (for example, Cartesian, as well as angular coordinate systems). Orientation is necessary in all areas of human knowledge, including for those who dream. Recall how Don Juan constantly asked Castaneda — from where did the messengers arrive, from the south or north? In what direction did the stream carry him?
2. Why is it necessary to create a map of Dreaming?
Firstly, it is the not-doing of dreaming, meaning the focus of attention is placed not on the inner dialogue (which, as Ray correctly noted, has crept into our dreams as well), but on what many people have never distinguished in Dreaming — the locality where dream events occur.
Secondly, creating a map of Dreaming involves the recapitulation of dreams. Debates about the importance of such an action are as futile as debates about life recapitulation. If you deem it necessary, do it. It is a way to gain power and knowledge. It is a voluntary matter. My grandmother, for instance, didn't do it, nor did my grandfather.
Thirdly, mapping was a strategic technique of the Dream Hackers. The ultimate effect of this technique can be described as an "explosive" recollection of almost all of one's life's dreams. Recollection not in the sense of what I said to someone and what they later replied. No, it is the recollection of those places where I was in my Dreaming — that is, those Assemblage Point positions that were involved in Dreaming. It is then that many dreamers begin to experience stable visions of Lucid Dreams. It is then that they begin to ponder what to do next? With what intention to ensure their further search for knowledge and freedom?
3. All people occasionally see labyrinths, gigantic structures, and boundary limits of personal space in Dreaming, beyond which they cannot pass. They see similar dreams, with similar plots and personifications.
Psychologists call this phenomenon archetypization and see in it a certain universal layer of consciousness. (You and I could advise them to read Castaneda, and they would then understand that it refers to the human band of awareness.) Yes, labyrinths are symbolic. They are a manifestation of some energetic components of the universe. Our mind transforms them into a template, which for absolutely incomprehensible reasons is seen by people as a labyrinth.
...As for why people find themselves in labyrinths, I can express my opinion.
A labyrinth is part of a program embedded in our consciousness by the fliers. A labyrinth is a programmatic "worm" that develops within us, grows, devours energy resources and memory, and then replaces the human with itself, its own laws and rules. That is why I consider Doc an eccentric — he is doomed to defeat in his battle with the fliers. And at the same time, I deeply respect him. He fights them!
I know that the fliers are just a personification of certain forces or energies. Therefore, the "hackers" decided to "hack" their imprint — that "insertion" which has weaned us from being free.
