I've been having a lot of dreams about being trapped in an illusion in a very literal sense lately. I can only assume this has to do with the illusion that is our reality, and perhaps breaking through it?
Last night I dreamed that I was with a group of people, but it seemed like my consciousness was going back and forth between the different people. I would be one of them one minute and another the next, and also my own person at times...it was very strange and somewhat confusing.
Somehow we all got trapped in this alternate dimension prison or something...someone put us there, trying to control us or something like that. So then various people start having hallucinations that the other people around them are doing terrible things. This one girl from a nomadic clan thought she was seeing that her whole clan had been murdered, and she started freaking out trying to kill everyone in her rage.
This one older man finally said that we were existing in something very close to the dream state. If we realized we were hallucinating, we could change the images with our minds and control the illusion, just like lucid dreaming. At this point I was a young man, and I started having visions that the man next to me was killing my son. I dropped to my knees, clutching at my head. I knew it was a hallucination, but I felt an unnatural wave of rage come over me. I grabbed onto the guy's hand and was squeezing onto it, telling him what I was seeing. He was saying "It's not real! Fight it!"
I finally jumped up and let out this primal scream. I turned my hands toward the barrier that was keeping us trapped and let all of the anger and fury be directed toward the thing that was truly causing the pain. Fire came out of my hands, which seemed to amaze everyone, though I think we all had some kind of powers. After I let it all out I felt a rush of power, and the older guy said that if we all kept throwing or emotions at the barrier, we could break it. Then I woke up.
