Here’s an interesting transcript from one of my private channeling sessions that you will enjoy (shared with client’s permission).
I channeled the Mantis Beings for a client and they discussed –
- the dream realm,
- lucid dream’s purpose & benefits,
- difference between lucid dreams and astral realms,
- the parallel lives your higher self lives and
- it’s impact on life review after death.
What are Lucid dreams?
Lucid dreams are different from regular dreams – you can change and influence them consciously when you realize you woke up in a ‘dream’. Staying ‘awake’ in a dream for long is the hardest thing I found along with remembering those after waking up.
There are many beautiful articles, books, research and publication on Lucid dreams by many scientists, most notably by Dr Stephen Labarge. I read some awesome articles on his website on this topic: http://www.lucidity.com/
(P.S: I am not affiliated to him or his work. Sharing because I really liked the group lucid dreaming events he had organised in the past and the experience of his participants in his blog).

Who are the Mantis beings?

Now for those who don’t know about the Mantis Beings – They are humanoid, extraterrestrials whose heads look like the Mantis (the insect you find on earth). Hence the name.
They are very advanced civilisation from a different galaxy (i forgot to ask the name) and play a very important role in the ‘Hybridisation agenda’ across different galaxies. They helped the ‘Grays’ execute the hybridization process in different planets.
If you want to know more about the Mantic beings, drop your question in the comments.

The conversation:
Her: What is the point of lucid dreaming? And if elemental magic is even possible like telekinesis, telepathy things like that.
———————————————————
Mantis beings: Your dreams are the portal to a different world. A lot of people confuse dreams to be the playground of the unconscious mind that is not entirely true.
Dreams are often presented to process your emotions, deeply subconscious emotions sometimes, but that’s not the only reason why people dream.
Not just to process, people revisit their soul contracts in their dreams – of what’s there is to happen to receive the blueprint.
You could say to rehearse the script of what’s going to happen, download resources necessary to face that and make choices from that point during dreams.
You get to connect with your higher self.
You also get to do ‘dream jobs’ where if you have soul contracts to help other spirit beings or hybrid children, you can also do those things in your dreams.
You often visit the spiritual aspect in your dreams, doing different things. That’s why you see people from real life in your dreams because you have visited them and they have visited you to complete the learnings you had to learn from each other, even if you are not in touch with them in real life.
———————————————————
Her: So I dreamt of all the people I’ve cut off from my life for years – like why am I remembering them now?
———————————————————
Mantis Beings: because now you have upgraded your own blueprint.
You have greater knowledge, wisdom and things to share to them to help them resolve their life challenges.
———————————————————
Her: But why do I choose to help them and not others?
———————————————————
Mantis beings: because you are already familiar with their energy signature. You know who they are. You have interacted with them.
There is a sense of comfort, even if you don’t talk with them. Just like when you meet your friends, even if you’re not close anymore.
There’s a sense of knowingness. It’s the same reason they also help you with different information that you did not have access to back then; to process them in your dream.
Even if your conscious mind doesn’t know that your unconscious mind gets to know the information they needed to resolve certain things in the subconscious and move on.
So not all healings take place during your conscious times. A lot of healing happens during dreams.
That’s why sleep is so important for humans to function normally.
———————————————————
Her: So what’s the point of lucid dreaming – what can I do with lucid dreams?
———————————————————

Mantis beings: In lucid dreams, you allow the conscious mind to play a role in the realm of the spirit in regular dreams.
Most of your conscious mind is kind of a passive player simply reacting to the things present, just like your real life.
But in dreams when you are lucid, you get to change things up, so whatever that dream represents or purpose is for that dream, you get to actively shape that.
So for example, if you are visiting your hybrid children and if you become lucid, then you actively participate with them and remember those interactions.
Those have a very different kind of effect than you would have if it was just a dream, because regular dreams are mostly the domain of your unconscious mind.
But in lucid dreams, your consciousness also enters the play. If you are revisiting Soul contracts, you can also actively decide what do you wish to do with those.
———————————————————
Her: So Bashar talks about changing the blueprint reality in lucid dreams. Is that true?
———————————————————
Mantis beings: Unless you have acquired some degree of mastery to understand the dream world and stay lucid for a long time you may have difficulty doing so at will, because most of the time the plot of the dream is already set.
———————————————————
Her: Who does that?
———————————————————
Mantis Beings: It could be the unconscious. It could be the higher self.
So unless you set an intention before going to sleep, it can be hard for you to access the blueprint of the nearest future.
But yes, you can and do have access to that and you need to know what you are doing before you change anything.
You need to know how the lucid world works otherwise you’ll be making unpleasant changes because everything in dream is symbolic.
It’s your conscious mind’s way of trying to understand the dream world with analogy from the material world.
So the objects you see in your dreams are not an exact replicas of your real life objects; except for some which have may have special significance.
———————————————————
Her: all the books I have read on lucid dreams, people have different opinions about it.
So there is not really a clear map of symbologies.
———————————————————
Mantis Beings: Your unconscious mind doesn’t follow language patterns, but uses symbols & imageries to understand certain things.
So understanding symbolic meaning of the dream objects is much more important.
And that is the hardest thing to do because every person’s symbology originates from their own culture and archetypes.
So there is really no fixed map that can guide everybody that is correct. There are huge cultural influences.
However, the primitive archetypes that govern human beings and the basic foundation of all humans are pretty much the same.
There are certain things that will record in everybody’s dream and they would mean the same thing, but some of the things would be different. so you can start there.
———————————————————
Her: What are the other benefits of lucid dreaming? What can somebody really do?
———————————————————
Mantis beings: The dream world is a vast place. The dream world is the connecting point between the human realm and the spirit realm.
So you are basically in an ‘in-between zone’ – majority of the time which you are referring to as the ‘template level reality’; where there are overlap between the material world in terms of its symbology and what it represents and the spirit realm. Because the dream world is not purely material.
———————————————————
Her: so what kind of world is it? Is it the spirit world? is it human world? Is it just a place in imagination? Is it like the shamanic realm? What is it exactly?
———————————————————
Mantis beings: You could say the dream world is the intermediate plane before things become material. So even when babies are born, they are mostly in the dream realm and they are unconscious.
They are getting updates, downloads, guidance in the dream realm as to how to live in the mortal world. It’s kind of a launch pad before things become material.
So you could say it’s like the ‘practice ground’ before things manifest.
It is also the place to meet spirit beings without leaving the body.
———————————————————
Her: so how is it different from the astral world?
———————————————————
Mantis beings: So the dream world is completely set in the context of your life.
The things that appear in the dream world, the setup is completely personal to you and personalised for you.
It has nothing to do with the greater world at play unless it has some connection, meaning or soul contracts with you.
You could say it’s your personal launchpad to launch things in physical reality or to launch things in the spirit reality, so it’s like a personal bubble, a personal space.
It’s not completely the full-scale spirit world and there are limits to the dream world.
Mainly because it’s like you’re own reality bubble where you get to experience specific things under a specific setting.
Think of it like your giant palace. The palace is finite. You can visit every room and each room has a different thing going on but it is still yours.
So in dream setting, there could be many different setup, depending on what you are wishing to visit. But they are still part of your personal world, your personal bubble.
Outside people may occasionally visit that; other beings may visit that. Just like guests would visit your house.
But it’s not an open world.
Whereas Astral realm is a completely open world and in the astral realm, you can visit any dimension without any limits. You could say the dream world is a specific dimensional variable of your reality.
You could say – it’s a specific density and a specific dimension or a range of dimensions within specific limits.
Whereas in astral realm you can see the real world in your astral body. As well as visit any other dimension, any other world just like a spirit.
It gives you complete free access to any dimension in any world, anywhere in anything.
———————————————————
Her: so what’s the difference between meeting my higher self in the dream world versus through astral projection?
———————————————————
Mantis beings: in the dream world when you meet your higher self, it will be within the constructs of the dream world.
Your higher self will appear in whichever way your mind can perceive the higher self to be or knows higher self to be. Within the limits of those definition you have about your higher self.
———————————————————
Her: whereas in an astral projection you will see higher self exactly how it is. Or how it wishes to show itself.
Of course to a certain degree you influence what you think about your higher self and how it wants to show up.
So that is more real in the sense.
———————————————————
Her: so why would people want to visit the dream world when they can change things up in the astral warld?
———————————————————
Mantis beings: because in the dream world, you can simply choose the set up where you can change your blueprint. It’s predefined.
You can intend to go there if you try to do the same in the astral realm. Things can get difficult again mainly because in the astral realm may have free will and whatever you wish to conjure happens immediately.
So there is very less degree of control and designing per se. Because everything manifests instantaneously in the astral world.
Things will not manifest the way you desire because dream world is also a world that has its own rules, just like the physical realms.
So you can wish something and most of the time it will happen. But there will still be variations, differences and something still may not happen the way you wish.
So you could say that is a less degree of control, but there is also less degree of variability.
So if you choose to change some specific aspects of your real life, it’s easier to do in the lucid dream as compared to a full-scale astral projection.
———————————————————
Her: so can somebody astral projecting also visit their dream world, like the dream dimension?
———————————————————
Mantis beings: of course! And you’ll get to see it from a very different perspective unlike how you experience in your dream.
It’s like being in a movie versus seeing the set from outside.
———————————————————
Her: You mean seeing the movie set as a person who’s not watching the movie, but how it is made?
———————————————————
Mantis beings: yes.
———————————————————
Her: So where is this dream world located in my mind? And as you said it’s a specific dimension.
How do I have access only to mine and not another’s?
———————————————————
Mantis beings: because the dream world resides within your higher cell bubble.
This is not a space outside of you.
———————————————————
Her: The higher self is in the 12th dimension. So which dimension does this lie?
———————————————————
Mantis Beings: It’s merged and integrated with your higher cells identity.
You could say the higher self itself is the dream world.
———————————————————
Her: So my higher self is also living other parallel lives?
———————————————————
Mantis beings: yes.
———————————————————
Her: so does that mean I can access my other parallel lives through the dreams?
———————————————————
Mantis beings: your higher self has access to different versions of you and you only.
———————————————————
Now when we say different versions of you, it means all the variations of decisions you could have had from birth till the end of your life – all the variations, all the parallel versions.
So your higher self is living all those parallel lives all at once – witnessing all of them and experiencing whatever it needs to experience.
Which is why, when you try to change your blueprint reality in the dream, it’s easy because all you are doing is simply accessing a specific parallel version reality, which is already contained within your higher self bubble, so you don’t have to do anything outside in the open astral world.
It is part of your reality.
———————————————————
Her: so you could say that in my lucid dreams, I can choose and pick a specific parallel life I want to live or change the this one so that it becomes another one?
———————————————————
Mantis being: yes, and you also get to experience how it is like to be in the spirit without fully emerging or immersing yourself in the full-scale spirit experience.
Because that can be overwhelming. Many souls after death have to be reinitiated into living as ‘spirits’.
So the dream visits and the lucid dream experience kind of helps you. It kind of is a launchpad of what to expect after death and how things could be.
Because after that you go back into this realm, not precisely in the open natural realm, but just before that – up until your life review.
You are contained within this dream realm, and then you can choose to be whatever you wish to do next.
———————————————————
Her: So in a sense, a life reviews is basically a sequence of events that I lived in my life specific to my life only and not the unlived ones (parellel lives), or at least which I as this person have not lived. Then the higher self kind of already knows my life review?
———————————————————
Mantis beings: the higher self knows all the reviews. Whereas you will be experiencing only yours.
The one that you have experienced here.
———————————————————
Her: So what the point of a life review for a soul when the higher self has access to all the life reviews anyway?
———————————————————
Mantis beings: so that you can choose to do what’s next from an individual perspective.
Because your higher self has given you all the possible options that you wish. so how do you choose if you have not individuated?
If you feel drawn to the Mantis beings, probably you have already communicated with them in your dreams or meditations.
You can speak to them directly if you want to ask questions about your life and their influence in yours.
