The Universe Inside

I’ve entered the dream directly from being awake, lucid at the start. I had been thinking intently about Out of Body Experiences before dream initiation. I’m lying in bed, drifting between wakefulness and sleep. I sense myself drifting away from my physical body, and feel an unusual tingling sensation through my dream body. It feels warm and effervescent as if my whole being is sparkling.

There are no visualizations, just darkness. Ever so slowly, I feel the sensation of rising upward, in a horizontal position, as if laying down facing up. My eyes begin to adjust, and I’m amazed to understand that I’m actually inside a “universe” within of my body. It’s filled with endless bright stars, purple galaxies, and all the characteristics of the cosmos as we know it. I seem to be a tiny visitor inside here.

My “being” begins to pulse and radiate as I get closer to a starry-silhouetted version of my spine. I’m now facing forward, floating in this universe inside my body. The tingling sensation increases, washing over my being with more intensity and frequency. I’m overwhelmed by joy, awe, and curiosity. I can’t believe that this is here within me.

I wake up.
