Yes, just experienced this a few nights past in dreaming. I am an avid swimmer, water as an element. I swim daily in a lake during summer months with and have a relationship with the water is the only way I can describe It. The coolness, fluidness are the experience, swimming is an agreement with the water. Now to the dream. I wandered scapes of water in places I'd never imagine, larger than life. In the end I was at the ocean and I rode the waves. I could feel that powerful force of the waves, it just sort of picks you up and carries you where it may. And I tasted the salt water, felt it on my skin. And now in wakefullness, I can draw all of that up and experience it, at will. Try and draw that sensation of the water now. "one can perceive the world with the senses as well as with the will...when we perceive the world with the will we know that it is not as 'out there' or 'as real' as we think"DJ Have you been bitten by a dog before and can you see a purpose to experiencing that hurt at will? Hopefully someone here knows, it would be interesting (but I hope it doesn't happen to you again!)
