I would like to point out that involvement with this complex is not done in your physical body, in this realm of being. Part of you is separated into an alternate existence, a separate personality, a different mental, spiritual, etc etc self. However you want to look at it. You have a separate physical body for this dimension. As far as I know, from talking with other people that are involved with the complex, most of your working hours there are done during your sleeping hours here. Most people experience little or no actual REM sleep, only the first four stages of sleep. Usually they don't make it past stage two which is the preparation stage for deep sleep, but still considered a lucid state of being.
So basically we're looking at the fact that while you're sleeping, your mind is not in a full state of rest and part of you is elsewhere, performing active duties, and various other everyday menial tasks. Because this alter self is still connected to your true self, you can receive bruises, marks, scratches, and other injuries from your time spent in the complex. Most of these marks fade within a day's time. Some don't. - Murr |
