Re: is it possible to learn new things in LD's or OBE's ?
Hi Sleeping beauty,
Can you give a few examples of what you would consider new?
If you mean new as in a re-ordering/re-arrangement of previously existing ideas/knowledge then i would say you can. Sometimes i get obsessed with playing the piano and i will end up playing all day up until when i go to bed and i have dreamt of music i have never heard before.Sometimes i can hear it for a second or two in my head after i have woken up and then it fades and the notes get totally erased.There have been a few times where i have scrambled to get to the piano before its gone but i can never seem to retain the memory completely.
I'm having trouble putting this idea into words but i would also say that what happens to you in dreams/oob can carry over into the real world. In other words if something stressful occurs to you in a dream or oobe and then a similar new stressful event occurs to you in the real world you will kind of feel like you have been there before and could potentially handle the stressful event in the real world better even though it is something new to you.
I can give a personal example of this but it is just a reallly baaaad example DON"T TRY IT AT HOME. So i went to a birthday party and i ate some seafood, muscles. On top of that i had two beers and 3 or 4 vodka tonics. At some point i got really really really really sick. I tried to make my way home by walking and i was just so messed up that it felt like i was walking through thick water, a lot like how it feels when i get oobe. I noticed that it felt like how it did when i get oobe and just kept fighting to move and walk until i made it home something like 3 hours later though, HA!
Probably not the best example of how coping strategies for stressful events in dreams/oobe is transferable to "new"stressful real world experiences but i hope it makes some kind of sense.
BUT if you mean new as in something that is just out of our scope/physical limitations, like seeing a new color i would say no.I believe we are limited to what our brains can process and there are some things that we just can't do, i wouldn't be surprised if there were some ideas or sources of knowledge that are out there that are beyond human understanding as well. Of course i speak for myself.
You haveeyes each composed of 130 million photoreceptor cells. In each of those cells there’s 100 trillion atoms that’s more than all the stars in the Milky way galaxy.However each atom in each cell in each eye formed in the core of a star billions of years ago and yet here they are today being utilized to capture the energy released from that same process all to expand the consciousness of you. It's ironic in that you are the universe experiencing itself And all you are is a thought.
