Question:
I recently had a dream where I was in contact with my I/THERE (Bob Monroe called it the cluster) and I saw everything coming together and then everything seemed to disappear. Is this anything like the winking out that Bob Monroe described in his books? Do you know what happens when this happens?
Answer:
If I read you correctly here, you seem to have achieved a high level of consciousness and some kind of high level contact or access in the dream state. This level of altered state can happen during deep meditation and during OBE.* Maintaining such a high level contact for any length of time is extremely difficult, due to the delicate mental balance and focus required.* The slightest change in mental focus will cause such a state to disappear or 'wink out', as you say.* This is one of the reasons why high-level metaphysical practice requires so much training in concentration and mental control. Early high-level contacts are generally brief affairs, often lasting for only a few seconds. This is frustrating, I know, but further mental training will help overcome this shift of focus problem.
Another major cause for the apparent failure (winking out) of such high level experiences is because of the high level of consciousness being experienced. Such experiences do not translate well at the base level (normal awake level) of consciousness. Typically, only the first part of such experiences are remembered, but once your consciousness shifts to a higher level, and you connect with a higher level of reality, that part is so abstract that your mind is incapable of storing it as an understandable memory. Such memories are stored deep in the unconscious mind, at a suitably abstract level of consciousness and memory.
