The Dreamscape
Some call it Tir Nan Og, christians call it Heaven, and others, like me, call it the Dreamscape. So far I've been pretty straight forward with my writings, this page may get a bit confusing. So I'll try to take it one step at a time. First thing I want you to do, for the moment, is throw out the window everything you've taken for granted of this world. Every law of reality, and everything you could only see to believe. Now with that said, consider this....
There are many names for this term I'm about to use, but for sake being I'm not gonna name them all. There are many 'realms' in the universe. Our world as people know it,is one. As well as the Dreamscape is another. But there are innumerable ones. Now heres the hard part, you might wanna close your eyes and visualize it after I'm finished just so you can get a better picture.
Visualize two circles. One of them you can label the dreamscape, the other you can label earth. Now I want you visualize the circle labeled earth vibrating at a steady rythem, not too fast, not too slow. Just a nice medium. Keep this steady vibration in mind as we now move to the second circle labeled dreamscape. Visualize the dreamscape vibrating as well, but not at the same of earth. It's vibrating just ever so slightly faster.
The vibrations in the circles is energy pulsating at two different speeds almost similar. Keep the visual of the two circles in mind as I go on. Energy is something that every living and non-living thing has. Everything is made up of energy. The slower the energy pulses, the more tangible it becomes. Hence rocks have a really slow pulse, and the wind has a very fast pulse of energy. The slower the pulse, the more tangible, the faster the less tangible.
Now back to the pulsating circles. Remember the dreamscape is pulsating just slightly faster than the medium pulse of earth. I want you to take these two circles, and slowly merge them till they're aligned together, and keep in mind they're always pulsating at their same rate. What I'm trying to show you with this visual is that the dreamscape and earth are perfectly aligned. The reason why we can't "see" the dreamscape is because it's pulse is just slightly faster than ours. But there is a way to gain access to the dreamscape, which I'll discuss later on this page.
Now let's discuss what the dreamscape is. I mentioned earlier in another page that To think Is to Create. The dreamscape is made up of over lapping sections that fade into each other. In one part is everything all of us, even those who aren't faery wiccans, have every thought about, dreamed about, or imagined. Every good or nasty thought we ever had. The main section of the dreamscape is where the fae reside. And in another section, is purely dreams, however it too overlaps the boundaries of the faery realm. Ever had a dream of a unicorn or dragon? Maybe even an elf, or Sidhe (SH-ee)? Chances are, you crossed over the boundary in your sleep.
You see, we were all once part of the dreamscape. Our two realms we're aligned and pulsating in rythem together perfectly centuries ago. But man began to grow a fear of the mysterious, which fae certainly are. And through their fear, ignorance, and insistance that the fae were nothing more than fairy tales for a child, man began to create his own world through thought. The more who believed the fae were nothing more than tales, the more distant we grew from the dreamscape. The more solid earth formed out of the dreamscape.
Finally, the earth was born from man's thought and our two worlds were seperated by two different pulses. So where did they fae go? They didn't go anywhere, we did. So how do we pulsate the earth to the dreamscape's rythem? We don't. Problem is, I doubt man will ever believe in the fae again, however the sudden burst of faery wiccans in the community gives hope for the centuries to come. However our numbers are still abysmal. We may not be able to bring our realm together with dreamscapes again, but there is one thing we can do: bring ourselves, as individuals, to pulse in the same rythem of the dreamscape.
There are quite a few ways to gain access to the faery realm. One way is lucid dreaming. Lucid dreaming meaning to be able to control your dreams and navigate your energy into the faery realm. A way you can tell if your energy has made it into the faery realm is when you wake how you feel. If your heart is telling you you were there, believe it, even if you have doubt. In the section of "Think with your Heart" I go further into how to tell things are real. If you wake up and can't remember your dream, you might have made it there.
You see, this is why we dream. The dreamscape was our original mother, in a sense. And like all good mothers, she likes to see her children often. However there are other methods of traveling to the dreamscape. Meditation works. Some people like to beat a drum when they meditate so they can control the pulse of their energy easier. Some people dance, controling their pulse through their movements. And some people use Astral projection to get there.
Don't be dismayed if it seems you've been trying different methods forever and don't seem to be getting far. As I said in an earlier section, what you want bad enough will eventually come true. May take a while, may take a day, but it will come. If you want it.
Is there a way to physically be in the Dreamscape? Yes. But my god is it hard. Takes alot of practice and make sure you really want to do it before you commit yourself. Cause you see, the faery realm has no concept of time, so an hour in the faery realm could be a mere moment in ours or a hundred years in ours.
