“In the waking world, the neural system inhibits the activation of the vividness of memories. We would be running off to the bathroom every time we had a scary thought. So you have these serotonic neurons that inhibit hallucinations that they themselves are inhibited during REM sleep. We’re the explorers of the dream-world.”
“And this is where I think language came from. It came from our desire to transcend our isolation and have some sort of connection.”
“What that means is as we go through the new evolution, it’s going to telescope to the point we should be able to see it manifest itself within our lifetime, within a generation.”
“The new evolution stems from information, with a new individuality, and new consciousness, an individually centered process emanating from the needs and the desires of the individual, the multiplication of individual existences.”
“To the functional system of neural activity that creates our world, there is no difference between dreaming a perception and an action, and actually the waking perception and action.”
“See, there’s a lot of us that are out there that are mapping the mind-body relationship, of dreams. We’re called the oneironauts. We’re the explorers of the dream-world. Really, it’s just about the two opposing states of consciousness which don’t really oppose, at all. See, in the waking world, the neural system inhibits the activation of the vividness of memories. And this makes evolutionary sense. See you’d be maladapted for the perceptual image of a predator to be mistaken for the memory of one… that they themselves are inhibited during REM sleep… We’re the explorers of the dream-world.”
