Psyche and Intuition are the two sides of human psychology. Intuition, the limitless terrain of unknown, the grey area of science… there are a lot of adjectives which can be used to describe it; is a seat of creativity, the powerhouse of imagination and the realm where everything is achievable. It is the seat of thought, the ultimate contraption capable of analysing all permutations (tree of possibilities) for a problem and come-up with a way to achieve the goal, and all this while the Psyche is switched-off.
The human brain uses only a fraction of it power when awake, whereas it has been proven scientifically that the brain works harder during sleep, especially during the R.E.M phase of sleep. It is this phase when the human mind is experiencing DREAMS.
Some say that dreams are just there to vent out one's frustrations in life, because in the dream world, one is the protagonist and the world is as one wants it to be… but, is it so?
Haven't we all come across "déjà-vu" situations? We feel that we have had this exact experience before, but we are not able to recall when, where and how? This is the point of inflexion, where the consciousness and sub-consciousness meet, the sub-conscious has done a days work and has presented the person with a solution, and INCEPTION of an idea has taken place in the sub-conscious to solve a complex/essential problem of the conscious mind. Once this idea has taken root, the person sub-consciously works towards achieving the required goal through a path which it had worked out earlier.
The dream world is populated by the person's own projections of real person(s) dead or alive, behaving exactly like the dreamer's perception about the real person(s); e.g. One may create paradoxical situations like – an infinite staircase, a world with houses on all six sides namely bottom, left, right, front, back and top.
The physics of the situation, however is controlled not by oneself, but is enforced by the problem one is thinking about. The sub-conscious mind traverses through the maze, in the search of the solution one desires for the "MOST"; the sub-conscious being much more potent at such tasks, completes the much faster.
The time, one gets during the dream is proportional to the person's level or DEPTH of the dream. Consider this – One starts dreaming (by falling asleep) and is coursing through the labyrinth of the problem, and feels that the perspective of the problem in this level is not right, decides to see the problem a still deeper level, goes into sleep in the dream, and comes to the next level or goes deeper into the dream, the problem changes at this depth. Time is slower at the next level, i.e. the time available to do process things is more e.g. 10 sec of real time dream translates to 3 mins at level 1 dream, 20 mins at level 2 and so forth. This can be explained by Einstein's theory of relativity – consider two persons A and B; A is on earth and stationary while B is on a rocket moving at 90% speed of light. 1 min for B is maybe few days for A. It is because the time has slowed for A who is moving at a very high speed with respect to the stationary person B.
Now, when one is wandering this maze of the problem it is facing, the projections interacts with it, creating new experiences, and through this multitude of interactions, one finds OR tries to find a way out of the maze which it feels is the most suitable outcome. Here takes the birth of a new idea – Inception of the idea of the way to achieve what one wants to. This can only be achieved with patience and practice. The minds of the weak and untrained, wander through the same mazes everyday without ever implanting the idea of the way out, and hence do not remember that they have already found a way to achieve their goals. Humankind is blinded by its habitual way of knowing, we do not rely on our instinct. Our habitual way of knowing, based on needs, is the only obstacle to the knowledge of the absolute. All theories of knowledge have in one way or another attempted to explain meaning and consistency by assuming contingency of order. We try to make out an order where there is none. The real obeys a certain kind of organisation, that of qualitative multiplicity. Structured around its needs and interests, our intelligence fails to recognise this ultimate reality.
