There's people who tell you that they see flying gaint insects or gaint caterpillers telling them what to do. Is this all physcologically make up or is it their perception of these astral planes, relatively speaking dimensions?

True but what if dreams were really astral traveling? What if their chemical reactions were in the sense because of these astral frequencies

"Thy Lovest Soul"

I have had many out of body experiences myself, but even though they feel real, and I have been pretty convinced that I was actually out of my body, is it possible that this experience is similar to a lucid type of dreaming where you feel more alert and in control than normal dreaming?

""Each child holds the world in an open hand to mould it into any shape they choose.""

Previously a thread discussion evolved that related the biblical heaven & earth as being simmilar to the movie, Matrix. In light of that context . . . this life is an illusion of the mind. Then one could consider dreams as an alternative reality. {Note that I have problems with the generalization of the term 'dreams' as it lumps all dreams into the same catagory} I have heard that dreams are in black & white, I don't know if this is true but I don't have any particular dreams in which I was cognizant of vivid colour. I would have to say the same thing about smells but if I were to fall asleep in a grove or flower garden then I would not be surprised if the pugent odor was manifested in dreams.

ok: I had the thought a few days back thus:

That as systems become more complex there is the ever more need, and this need is natural, not man-made, to define more laws in order to sustain that system.

I didnt question where the though came from; this seems pointless.

This question can be called an hypothesis.
I made the mistake of trying to find things that would support or verify my thought. And I came to the conclusion I was right.

I was wrong however. Simply, I didn't look for the things where it didn't work; or more properly; where it might not work.

So, whilst all your posts are valid on the surface; I doubt them. I'll still claim that its your way of thinking, conditioned by some garbage your reading by mystical bullshitters who earn a lot of money or, more probably, worth in looking good rather than actually getting anywhere in the proper sense.

Everybody has illusions… It would appear the mentally ill have these illusions at more times or at more significant (or even important) moments in time…

Dreams are a source of illusion…as has been discussed…

Imagination plays a part too… We all imagine, and through our imaginations find an alternate reality…

Have you ever imagined something when you’re dreaming?

I think with the combination of as many elements of illusion as possible (don’t forget ‘daydreaming’), you can approach easily the point where you are clearly seeing or hearing something which is not there…

Another thing to be aware of is drug-induced psychosis, as well as, what Ortho-Molecular Therapists talk about in regards to mental illness, which is vitamin deficiency induced psychosis… This just shows how easily a recipe for mental illness can be concocted, and that’s possibly without mind-altering drugs…

My amateur opinion on the topic of what distinguishes the mentally ill from the almost perfectly sane person, apart from the frequency of illusions, can be the power to understand what is what… The mentally ill are classified often as being out of contact with reality, and although something may appear highly unlikely, the mentally ill individual is ‘victim of circumstance’ where that outrageous train of thought appears to be less outrageous…

Basically the imagination, the dream-states and what-not take us for a wild ride, the normal person knows that it is just a ride, whereas the mentally ill person thinks it just fits in with the rest of their life… What I mean by this, is that, something dreamt up is seen by the mentally ill individual as part of their reality, rather than the sane person’s escape to another imagined possibility…

Often the illusion is proved to be just that, just over what can be a very long length of time…

"There is no negative one..."

allusions or dillusions?
There is something that bothers me, personally. I play this game online & normally enjoy it. But I have been having misgivings about perceptions inherent to playing?
It is an oriental board game . . . a simple grid form to the board & black & white stones are played on the points of the grid. the object is to surround territory. In surrounding an area , one seeks to give it 'life' . . . Life is defined by 2 eyes & a nose? To take your opponents stones freedoms. If an area is separated into 2 areas then these eyes can not be closed [all the freedoms filled].
