The highest levels of dreams explained in detail

I have a freakish amount of hypnic jerks to the point that I’ve began to question my sanity. It’s drives me crazy. Every night for 3+ years now I’ll be falling asleep and then BAM 💥 I’m wide awake with terror piercing through my veins for no damn reason; I’ve been swiftly jolted out of sleep by a jerking motion. I hate it so much. This happens a minimum of three times before I finally fall and stay asleep for the night.

My most recent and most vivid lucid dream was crazy, I walked through a wheat field and could see insects and dust glimmering in the sun, like dreaming in UHD. So glad I had them magic mushrooms back in 1986, lucid dreamt ever since 🙂

🌼 Hi Aperture 🙂 that was helpful thanx. Can u make another dream video on how do we know if a dream is showing us just memories, or the future? That is an every day question I have.

I had a neon light shape call me god and say I am god like it is god but that I am not god in its source form.

Carl Jung is a beautiful dreamscaper. His energy has guided me in my journey into my unconscious and helped me understand my own dreams in a way I had never anticipated. I study dreams, unconscious, and consciousness as my mainline hobby/ mortal passion.

What if life itself is but a dream within a dream?

The imagery in this is so beautiful, I loved the last one most with the hands. The second half was so poetic and dreamlike itself, I think I will try to fall asleep to it tonight.🥰
This answered some questions I've had about my own dreaming. I can have "dreams" the second I fall asleep, & wake up thinking it's strange, because I believed dreams only happened in REM sleep, now I have a word for it-hypnogogic. Sounds like your illogical self trying to say the word Logic while asleep. 😀 I must be having confusional arousal, too. Time doesnt seem to be present. It always starts with my first sight of the room. And I wonder, is this my apt or my last apt, or my childhood home or a foreign place, it could be any of those, until I look around a bit more and it clicks. So the processes involved in recognition are still working up to it, and my eyes are biting at the bit.
I love the monkey in a tree explanation btw, I hope that's the right one. 😛 This was a beautiful presentation thank you as always for the story, I like the ads too and I usually hate ads. 🥰

Good video after long, this going hit.
End promo after intro.

Why is it that we spend so much time trying to convince ourselves that something is possible, yet rarely question why we believed it was impossible in the first place? I've been thinking about that a lot lately. For years, I approached manifestation as something that required constant effort, endless affirmations, and looking for signs that things were finally working. I eventually got tired of repeating the same routines without understanding the bigger picture. That's when I came across Assumption of Kain by Kain Vane. What interested me was its approach to assumptions and the way our beliefs influence our perception of ourselves and the world. It made me reconsider several things I had taken for granted, especially when it came to success and personal limitations. I started realizing that some of the biggest obstacles weren't necessarily external. Sometimes we spend so much time looking for answers outside ourselves that we forget to examine our own thinking.

Something I've noticed is that people can spend years searching for a completely different life while constantly reinforcing the same beliefs that keep them comfortable with their current situation. I know because I did exactly that. I wanted financial freedom, confidence, better opportunities, and more control over my future. I tried different techniques, listened to motivational speakers, and followed almost every manifestation trend I came across. But eventually, I realized I was consuming information without really questioning it. That's what made me interested in Assumption of Kain by Kain Vane. The book introduced some perspectives that challenged the way I understood assumptions and the relationship between identity and personal growth. I started looking at my own expectations differently and questioning why I had placed certain limits on myself. I don't think people need another motivational speech. Sometimes they need to step back, think independently, and reconsider what they've been telling themselves for years.

I remember a time when I genuinely believed that I needed to change almost everything around me before my life could get better. I blamed circumstances, timing, other people, and sometimes even luck. What I didn't realize was how many of my own assumptions were influencing the way I approached every situation. I spent months watching videos about manifestation and personal development, but most of the information felt repetitive after a while. Then someone mentioned Assumption of Kain by Kain Vane, so I decided to see what it was about. I wasn't expecting some life-changing revelation, but I found several ideas that made me reconsider the way I had been looking at myself and my circumstances. The biggest realization was that I had accepted certain beliefs without ever asking where they came from. Since then, I've been much more conscious of my thoughts and expectations. It's fascinating how differently you start seeing things when you stop treating every assumption as a fact.

I used to think that changing your life meant constantly doing more. More work, more motivation, more affirmations, more discipline. Whenever things weren't going the way I wanted, I assumed I simply wasn't trying hard enough. But eventually I started wondering whether I was approaching everything from the wrong perspective. I came across Assumption of Kain by Kain Vane while looking for something that went deeper than the usual self-improvement advice. What caught my attention wasn't some promise of instant success, but the way it explored assumptions and the role they play in shaping how we experience life. It made me question why I had accepted certain limitations as facts without ever examining them. Since reading it, I've become much more conscious of my internal dialogue and the expectations I carry into everyday situations. I think people underestimate how much their own beliefs influence the choices they make. Sometimes progress starts with questioning what you've always considered true.

I honestly think one of the most overlooked aspects of building a better life is understanding the way you see yourself when nobody else is around. You can tell everyone that you're confident, successful, ambitious, and ready for change, but what do you actually believe when you're alone with your thoughts? That question made me reconsider a lot of things. I had spent so much time consuming content about abundance, money, manifestation, and changing reality that I eventually wanted to explore the subject more seriously. That's how I found Assumption of Kain by Kain Vane. I didn't approach it expecting miracles, but some of its ideas gave me a different way to examine my assumptions and the expectations I had built around my future. It made me realize how often people confuse wanting something with genuinely believing they can move toward it. Since then, I've tried to be more intentional about my mindset and decisions. Real self-awareness starts when you're willing to question even the beliefs you're most comfortable with.

0:42 – "And why do we almost never realize we're dreaming until it's over?"

Ever since I was a child, I almost always become aware of the fact that I'm dreaming, and can then consciously take control of my own actions. I can do things in my dreams that I know I can't do in real life, and catching myself in one of those moments is what usually clues me in, and that's when I become fully self aware inside my dreams.

I thought this was normal for everyone, and it wasn't until I was describing this ability to a friend one night beside my firepit in my early 30s that I discovered just how rare it is.

I still do it, too. It comes easily, naturally to me. It's always been this way.

When I was boy my mother told me a very strange story.
She said when she was a girl, a boy gave her a fancy ring.
She hid the ring because she didn't want anyone to know because her mother was strict and over protective.
One morning her mother broke into her room demanding where she hid the ring. Confused she denied having it, but her mother was angry and adamant she must return it to its owner.
Afraid she was gonna get a beaten she returned it to the boy. She later asked her mother how she knew and her mother said, a women came to her in a dream demanding that her daughter return her ring back to her son. The women from her dream called her by name too. The funny thing is, the boy lost his mother several years before, something my grandmother wouldn't have known because my mother met the boy at school.
So yeah, dreams are freaky.
"All dreams are but another reality."

Are dreams really glimpse of another universe ? I think not though, but it’d be nice if it were.

The awareness-is-not-control distinction does a lot of quiet work here — most lucid-dreaming talk treats realizing you are dreaming as the finish line, when it is really just the door. Dream yoga walking through that door and then refusing to redecorate is the strangest and most honest move: insight over omnipotence, in a place where omnipotence was actually on offer.

Thanks for another awesome video! You guys are doing an amazing job!

I'm so early!
