Immediately all the metal on this little earth began to rise up towards the moon. Even my friend’s purse began to rise up off her shoulder. At this point I was taught how to manipulate water. I looked out over the ocean and created a massive whirlpool that started to swirl. It took out a large brick building that was in the ocean.

 

(Keep in mind, I had been lucid this entire time. It was definitely the longest lucid dream I’d ever had.)

At this point I came to yet another gate. This time, it was made of glass and there were stars all over it. My friend Teal and an older woman in spiritual clothing was on the other side. Again, I immediately knew the “code” to get through and pressed the stars that made a combination of two separate constellations.

 

Once I passed through this gate, I inherently knew that I was in a realm where everyone was lucid and awake in the dream. They showed me the test that I had been put through to get there. I observed where I had been confused and failed before. They showed me a map of humanity. There was a system of roots and fog and I could see people walking underneath, asleep in the dream. There was a whole section for Manhattan. Everyone was separated in cell-like rooms and everyone had glowing cell phones floating above their faces. This is where the dream dissolved.

 

Upon waking, I was literally high for four days. “I passed the Test!!” It was one of the most incredible things I’ve ever experienced. The following year I incorporated the manipulation of water into my “dream teachings.” After one year, I received a message over Facebook from a woman I had never met in person. She said, “Blake, you were in my dream last night. You were teaching me about Universal Truths and Water Properties.”

 

It was incredible. Although I don’t remember the specific dream with her, I knew I was doing that in dreams at that time. It made me remember one of my first lucid dreams where I was having a conversation with my friend about the dream and being so clear that I was speaking to him and not just a subconscious aspect of myself. To me, when she sent me that message, it proved to me that the dream world, at least part of the time, is a shared subconscious reality and not just a localized individual experience of exploring our own subconscious reality.

 

Glad to hear that you passed the Test! Do you have other examples of manipulating water in your lucid dreams? What happened in those lucid dreams?

In a lucid dream, I awoke in a house party. Several people were there from my life, including an old boss who had made me feel quite powerless during my time working with him. I did my usual routine of speaking to the people around me about how to wake up. This time in the techniques of showing everyone, I turned on a faucet. I re-directed the water flow midstream to send the water to the side of the room. Manipulating water felt similar to the energy that I also used to fly. Several of the dream characters were very interested. But my old boss didn’t want anything to do with what I was saying. When I spoke about waking up, I could see the air between us shake—almost like his reality was starting to fall apart while looking at me. He didn’t like it and left aggravated.

 

This is when I learned that not every character in the dream appreciates being woken up, and can even turn aggressive when confronted with changing the existing reality. Writing this now, I don’t truly know how he would feel about dreaming and/or consciousness. Perhaps he also represented an aspect of myself that resists change, an aspect that is either satisfied with what exists or fearful of change for some reason or another.

 

In another lucid dream, I was manipulating a swimming pool. I could feel the water in the pool like it was part of me. I started to move it and the pool began to undulate. I lifted it and all the water in the center began to rise up as the sides sank, making a water drop shape. I doubted myself a bit, because of how much water it was, and therefore lost control of being able to lift the whole pool.

 

I remember a couple of other times manipulating water but not much of the events surrounding them. The profoundness that I had been taught to do this in one dream, then the recurrence of it in future dreams was what struck me. I suppose I felt like it was another tool in my belt to teach people to wake up and to realize that my reality was completely in my hands.

In these lucid dreams, what have you learned about the properties of water? What is special, unique or different about water? What properties make water significant?

After the swimming pool dream, I remembered the force of the bond between water molecules, how water is attracted to itself and tends to ‘stick’ together. So, if you move any amount of water, the rest of the water around it will tend to follow. And therefore, one action can create a chain reaction. I noticed in my dreams that the energy it took to fly was very similar to the energy I used to move water. In my early lucid dreams I would feel energy start to come out of my hands, and eventually from my whole body, in order to lift off the ground. In one recent lucid dream I was lifting a ball of water and suspending it in mid air. The movements I was making were like the Chinese martial art of Qi-Gong. I was using this technique to move the suspended water. You could almost say that water is the visual representation of the energy or chi within our own bodies, and that if I am directing a stream of water, it would look similar to directing a flow of energy from within my own body.

 

For some dreamers, ‘water’ often symbolizes emotions. For example, a tidal wave may mean feeling emotionally overwhelmed, while ice and frozen water may refer to feeling emotionally cold or stuck, and so on.

 

In your waking world, does the area of emotions have special meaning for you? Do you try to reach people emotionally, more than, say, intellectually?

I would say this is quite true for me. I am always feeling into where people are on an emotional level. I love a good intellectual conversation about the meaning of the Universe, but emotions and feelings are what move us. They are what keep us stuck in fear, acting out in anger, recklessly pursuing love, or achieving greatness out of passion. I am also passionate about making music which could be argued to be the language of emotion. I’ve had several dreams with tsunamis, so if it’s true that water represents emotions, then I suppose you could call me an emotional person.

 

Finally, what advice would you give for those going deeper into lucid dreaming?

My biggest piece of advice to dreamers is to journal. I think you might agree, Robert, because you built a journal into your latest book. By journaling, you are training yourself to remember while you are in the dream, which is also a good trigger to becoming lucid. I would tell them to push the limits within the dream world. What is the most powerful thing you can do in a dream? Can you travel in time and visit historical figures? Can you travel to different worlds, to different dimensions? And also, to ask questions to dream characters and even inanimate objects. If do you this you can’t help but expand your sense of reality and release yourself from the bonds that keep us immobile in waking life.
