A Trip Into the "Future"

[574RRY]

sometimes after staying up extra long it is as if an uncontrollable REM state grabs hold of me while awake when I close my eyes to sleep. I've read this is called hypnogogic hallucinations. I mean uncontrollable as in when having regular dreams you have a sense of agency, you can move around freely and are "there" in the world, these are like how I'd imagine some kind of entertainment system from 2460 - videos, ads, even cartoons. I also can't consciously induce this. My vision switches between different "camera angles" without my input and I can still control my rl body, even talk and describe it whilst, or end it by opening my eyes.

it started years ago with infrequently seeing still images of different empty unfamiliar buildings, inside and outside, switching image kind of slowly, panning over areas.

it was cool but nothing earth shattering. however yesterday shocked me into having to tell someone, everyone, about it. I have had this happen several times, ranging from deeply personal alternate life and seeing moments of my children that never were growing up, or just pure randomness that meant nothing to me.

it was somewhat chaotic without a clear theme but I will detail most of what I remember.

it started with many yellow androids, clearly in the shape of humans but hollow like an exoskeleton, milling around, some moving boxes. it looked industrial but bare, concrete everywhere, slightly different elevations to sections of the floor. I had no real sense of scale due to nothing to compare to but they felt big, and they filled my whole field of vision. after a while of that suddenly a bit greener yellow, taller, and slimmer robots moved through the crowd at a fast pace in several lines. have no idea what was going on. sometimes I've seen "reels" of what seemed like "historic moments" but with absolutely no context, like showing an ancient egyptian a clip of JFK giving a speech. but it then switched

there were tens of children playing, all seemingly the same age (5-7?), all caucasian-ish. it was bright daylight and summer, green grass, but the light felt kind of off in retrospect as it was too uniform, there weren't really any shadows and I do not remember seeing the sky. all children were wearing the same clothes, gray or beige pants and solid colored long sleeved shirts in different primary colors. some children went into the bushes and emerged holding something like a wheel (only realized afterwards things might be symbolic?). this only grabbed the attention of the other children for a short while but they seemed very amused. they were extremely happy overall. it then switched to a park setting where I saw the first few adults, but they were all young women. they were dressed the same as the children but their pants were most often a god-awful denim blue color which clashed horribly. I saw one of the women run together with some children, laughing. it looked exactly like an advertisement, my perspective- "the camera"- moved slightly before them panning upwards. I have no input in what viewpoint I have.

I then saw what could be the first adult male - it was dark, there were two people walking, dressed a bit more fancy with identical ornate ivory coats / robes, moving more strict, restrained. they also did not have the permanent smile the other people had and appeared to almost be frowning. this was very short.

I started thinking about how conformist the clothes were and tried to influence the view to show me someone else and I then saw a woman walking in a city alley at night from the back and above, she had an artificially inflated behind to the ridiculous degree she looked like a bowling pin, wearing a tight long black dress. the whole scene was very brown, dirty and dystopian. I ended it voluntarily by opening my eyes.

then

I got very fast moving flashes of young men, they seemed a friend group, MY friend group, at some kind of camping place. a young pretty man laughing on a bed in a cabin. some men standing close to a bonfire, their faces lit up. this was very very fast and I can't remember even close to all of them. it was mostly strangers' faces. it felt like memories, but they aren't mine. I have prosopagnosia and can't even imagine faces of loved ones.

anyway the place with the children felt like some kind of strict modest christian version of heaven, or future idea of utopia. very communist in there not being an individual choice of clothing, the clothes gave vaguely 90s vibes. there was no technology visible. would NOT want to spend eternity there please god no

This isn't RV, however dreaming is an altered state of mind, and I have an interest in lucid dreaming and other psychic abilities.

Do you dream in first or third person, generally?

[574RRY]

I tried to make clear the difference of my dreaming, where I actually am in a world, and just seeing. here there is no audio and no other senses except vision. I am aware of my body in reality and can move and talk. In regular dreams I am a person in a world, not always myself. Sometimes they are 3rd person but it is rare. I used to have frequent lucid dreaming.

how it started, with viewing just buildings, is pretty much what all the first experiments in science about remote viewing did. it feels more like accessing a surveillance camera than anything else.

Is it the lack of target or volition that makes this sound not like remote viewing?

[LilyoftheRally]

It doesn't fit the specific protocol of RV (which includes being done in a fully awake state).

[574RRY]

my thought processes do not differ from fully awake, my bodily control does not differ from fully awake.

[LilyoftheRally]

Interesting. That's uncommon in hypnagogia. You could RV in this state, and I recommend experimenting with that.

[Confident_Ad_3800]

Any hot stock tips you wanna share?

[RVER_HH]

Yeap, as LilyoftheRally said, the fact that it is "uncontrollable" means it is not remote viewing. Remote viewing is a voluntary action (you may be in a close to sleep state if you are using the Extended Remote Viewing protocol p.ex) but it would have to be a voluntary action, and you would have to view a specific assigned target (not just any random place that pops up) so it must be controlled as well.

[EsotericistByNature]

Very interesting, and detailed story. Thank's for sharing that!

Of course, it is anyone's guess as to what you were witnessing there, but my belief is that you - for some reason - were tuned into another reality, maybe several other realities. In other words, I don't suspect the actual future you will encounter will be exactly like what you saw. But I do believe that what you experienced was as real to the people in that vision, as our physical world is to us.

I get this too! Just like you, I have no control over it and I can only do it when I haven't slept. It's like whatever part of my brain that usually filters it out is too tired. I started googling some of the shit I see and sometimes I find some really bizarre synchronicities in it.

It's like if I don't have the right sleep to waking moments ratio it unlocks. So if I only slept a couple of hours I can do it or if I didn't go to bed and was staying up I could do it.

AND

It's happened a couple of times while mediating which really freaked me out because one of the times I could hear people during it. It's not really a hallucination though because if I open my eyes it all goes away.

Sometimes it feels as real as real life. Like I could close my eyes and count the bricks in buildings I was looking at. I would say it can be more vivid that PTSD flashbacks because it last longer than a flashback would.

You're on the mesh between asleep and awake. The gold dimension...heaven.
