SPIRITUAL SLEEP: WHY WE DREAM

When we dream, our pineal gland releases dimethyltriptamine (DMT), the most powerful, most illegal hallucinogen known to man. It is a chemical with amazing spiritual properties. What has fascinated us most is that everyone who experiences DMT experiences the same thing. They meet the same beings, visit the same places and come back with the same feeling of enlightenment. It isn't like other drugs where our physical reality influences the trip. It is a vehicle that takes you to a spiritual realm beyond our physical world.

No, this is a post about doing drugs. We just want to provide a foundation for the spiritual reality explored in dreams. It's a question that has plagued man since his birth into the galaxy. What are dreams and why do we have them? They've been seen as gateways to our pasts and futures, messages from our subconscious, electrical processes our brain uses to form memories and more. Mankind has never truly understood dreams, but rest assured, we have the answer.

String theory, in a nutshell.

String theory proposes the concept of a multiverse, the idea that there is not merely one universe, but a collection of universes existing together. Our universe exists in harmony with an infinite number of other universes. There are universes where we exist, though with slight differences; universes where we are totally different; universes without us altogether; universes that are devoid of any life; and on and on to infinity.

When we dream, our physical mind merges with the physical minds of our other existences that inhabit in the dimensions that surround us. Our brain stitches together the realities that are simultaneously experienced by our spiritual self. Yes, there is a spiritual "us", but not in the sense of a soul. There is one unified entity, that amalgamates all the moments experienced by the separate physical versions of ourselves.

The reason dreams seem strange to us is because we are experiencing a reality vastly different from our own, where another physical version of our spiritual self dwells. Our physical mind struggles to make sense of it all, and often our dreams are muddled and disjointed, but to be fair, our brain does a good job compiling this information considering how divergent and off-putting these other realities can be. Life in Hell. Worlds without gravity. Planets and creatures different from anything seen on Earth. The multiverse houses an infinite number of creations, and our simple brain is forced to witness, decode and categorize all of them.

Déjà vu occurs when we come across something similar to an experience one of our other physical selves had in his or her life. We are remembering pieces of a dream in which their physical experience was sent to our spiritual self. Given that there is an infinite amount of universes, an infinite amount of physical "us's", and an infinite amount of "us's" living in world's similar to our own, déjà vu is bound to occur. Imagine another physical version of yourself experiencing déjà vu based on one of your previous experiences!

As much as this theory explains about the meaning of dreams, it raises more questions. Why are our physical selves allowed these glimpses into each others' lives? Why do dreams fade away as the day goes on and we sink back into our own reality. What is our spiritual self's purpose, reason and end game, and will the physical version of ourself experiencing this reality be able to merge with our spiritual self?

It is a complex and deeply philosophical concept, and the answers are still unclear. Perhaps by becoming more connected to our spiritual self we will find the answers, or perhaps only through death are they discovered. Whatever the case, expect more thoughts on the true meaning of dreams in future Conspiracy Fury articles. We apologize for the brevity of this article, given the expansive nature of our topic, but we simply had to get these ideas written down. They came to us in a dream last night.
