Last night I contacted a deceased loved one in a meditation and asked if they had a message for me. Later that night I saw this person in my dream. The situation was so vivid (!), like I was really living it, but what occured was something that could not have happened while this person was still alive..
Without getting into too much detail, the dream showed me what the situation could have been like if a certain traumatic event would not have happened (which turned to not be a great alternative).
I woke up wondering: What if this particular situation has actually played out as well in a parallel reality? Is there such thing as a parallel universe? What if our dreams are the portals where we connect with those other lives?
In the morning, I wrote down my dream, after contemplating it for a while, and then did some research to what information is out there about the parallel universe. Here is what I found..
What Does Science Say About Parallel Universes?
The theory about there being a multiverse, or parallel universes, has been gaining popularity. If you do some research about what the science says about the existence of parallel universes, you will find that there seems to be a surge in interest around this topic in recent years.
Scientists are now stating that, within the field of quantum physics, it is theoretically possible, and even highly likely, that parallel universes exist. It is actually now the dominant theory in Cosmology.
Side note: As we are moving into the Age of Aquarius, and the upcoming shift of Saturn and Pluto in March 2023, a huge surge in scientific interest in the ´unseen´ or esotheric does not come as too big a surprise! (if this interests you, find more about that here)
Scientific Studies And Publications
The idea of there being parallel universes has been around in the field of quantum physics since the 50’s, but was often disguarded as false. That is no longer the case.
In the last decades there have been new studies, theories and publications released from scientists to redeem the idea of there being a multiverse. Although the idea of a multiverse remains a controversial topic in science, there are now more mainstream theories about this being a serious possibility.
Some interesting publications (but certainly not the only ones!) published around this topic are this study from 2014, this book by physicist Brian Greene, and this article from space.com that does a good job at explaining the idea. Also check out this article for more details regarding NASA scientists claiming they found evidence for the existence of a multiverse.
If you prefer to watch a video, watch this discussion among scientists on the topic, or watch this shorter version about the theory itself:
Do Parallel Universes Interact With One Another?
There are different opinions about whether these parallel universes interact with one another, but the earlier mentioned study from 2014 does confirm this idea. If we would purely go on people’s experiences, there are also many stories that point toward this being a reality (but more on this later).
According to the most common theory, all parallel universes would be a split of from an existing universe where the parallel version of ‘you’ would be a split off of ‘you’ in that moment. This would mean that the version of you that lives in the parallel universe is not actually the ´you´ you are now, but it was at the moment of the split off. That other ´you´ has since then developed in a different direction.
Through the dream world, there are numerous accounts of people living an alternate reality where they possessed knowledge (such as speaking a foreign language fluently) without them having such a skill in this life. Such events surely suggest an interaction with a parallel universe.
Ideas About Parallel Realities And Dreams
I came across an interview with Robert Moss, writer of the book Conscious Dreaming, about dreaming and parallel realities. One of the questions that came up was How do you know if you went to a parallel reality or to an imaginary realm that you created?
Interestingly, the answer was: there might not be much difference between the two! This is where it gets really interesting…
I mean, it makes sense. After all, the reality we currently live in is fully created by our own imagination. Every human creation starts with an idea after all! 💡
Every building, park or parkbench we see has been created from a thought. And why would that not be true for trees, animals, water etc (but on a higher level of consciousness/universal intelligence)?
How Can You Try To Experience A Parallel Universe?
You can try to experience a parallel universe through your dreams. The dream world is the world that connects us with the soul and a higher universal wisdom. Our conscious minds alone will never be able to do that!
Every dream is an opportunity to communicate with the subconscious and with other realms/dimensions. The more actively you seek this out (best to be intentional about it!), the higher the chance you will be able to get into a dream you will remember, or even a lucid dream.
The more time you spend in the realm between waking and sleeping, the higher the chance that you will experience dreams and actually remember them.
What If You Don´t Dream?
In the interview, Robert Moss also explained that it is common for people these days to not dream at all, or at least not remember their dreams. Honestly, that was true for me until not so long ago!
The reason that many people don’t dream is because of a lost connection to their inner child, who is endlessly open minded, curious and wants to explore every aspect of life.
If you are not dreaming, please do whatever you can to get this back! Once you begin to dream again, a whole new world will open up ✨
👉 A good starting point to start dreaming again, is to get into meditation and work on letting go of your fears.
To encourage (lucid) dreaming, you can do this meditation before going to sleep:
Stories That Will Make Your Head Spin..
If you are interested in hearing some personal accounts from people about dreaming and parallel universes, check out this forum thread (there are many more, but this is a great place to start). You can also look on Reddit.
Another story I think is great and surely gets the imaginative juices flowing, is this story about The Man from Taured:
>> For more stories like this, you can try to get your hands on this collectors item from the 80´s: The Directory of Possibilities which contains over 500 stories of supernatural events happening to people..!
Want To Know More?
If you like to know more about parallel universes in relation to dreams and how you can access this too, read the book Mysterious Realities: A Dream Traveler’s Tales from the Imaginal Realm by Robert Moss, and/or watch the talk about Parallel Realities with Robert Moss on Gaia.
