Chapter 10: Some lessons learned
November 9, 2007
Wow it has been a while since I have written here. I just read my last entry and man that was an amazing dream indeed. I have been dreaming less lately, but I still have been dreaming. I haven’t been able to write it all down though because I am now pretty much on war. My training went pretty well and they decided to send me as infantry. I am currently deployed in Iraq and I am writing this in one of our bases because I feel like I have to write some finals note downs. All I will do on this entry though is summarize a few things that I have learned from my past dreams, since I really don’t remember them all in detail because some of them occurred months ago.
The first thing I learned is why I am not having dreams from my reality anymore. See, there are no wars in this dream world of mine. Therefore, since I have been dealing with war stuff for the past few months, my dreams aren’t related to my reality. All I dream about is random stuff that simply calm me down, or some really enlightening stuff.
Like, for example, I also learned that there is no government in this other world either. When I learned this I thought how do they manage to keep control though? It seems like control isn’t something that needs to be kept anymore. Everyone seems to know how to behave and they know what needs to be done; they know what is right and what is wrong. Not only that, but people don’t seem to hurt others either. I remember one time, I accidently hit Mike on his right arm and for some reason my right arm hurt as well. There is when I learned why people don’t hurt each other anymore: everyone is connected, if you hurt someone, you will be hurting yourself…literally.
Although they don’t have a government they do have a group that keeps tabs on making decisions. It is consisted of only fifteen people, ranging from young teenagers to the elderly. This group is changed every three months, and it is said that everyone gets to participate once. Curiously enough though, the group that was currently in charge when I learned all this, had only dealt with three problems, and it was about how to deal with new technology or simple things like that. In the end they have to make important decisions, but they make smart choices and everyone trusts whoever is in that group. To me it seemed like an amazing way to deal with stuff. And yes, it is a group for the whole planet, since there are no divisions anymore.
The most important thing I actually learned is that there are no religions either. Religions in our present time just cause separation and fanatics. Not only that, but they are as much as a business as Playboy or Microsoft; no joke. In my dream world everyone respects each other’s believes. What seemed kind of interesting though, is that almost everyone seemed to have the same believe and it was simple: whatever you think heaven will be like, then that is how it will be. For those whom didn’t think there was a heaven, who were actually the minority, a world similar to the one they were currently living in, was created for them on heaven. To me, it seemed like a pretty plausible idea. I don’t know what to believe yet though.
Now to close up this entry, because they are turning the lights out in a few minutes, I learned something very important as well that could, perhaps, go with the religion stuff. I was introduced to Gabrielle; a very good looking female whom appeared to me on my room (the one I had back home, since on my dream world I was still back home) a random night. She explained everything that was going on and who she was. I dreamt this last night, so I remember most of it and I will try to write it down.
“Hello Robert.” She said.
“Woah! Who are you?” I said scared because she had appeared out of nowhere.
“My name is Gabrielle. You don’t have to be afraid.” She said.
“What are you doing here?” I asked.
“I am your spirit guide.” She stated.
“My…my what?” I asked.
“Your spirit guide. I am here to guide you through life and to help you on your rough times. Although you don’t seem to be having any, I am here to explain why the latest events have occurred as they have.” She said.
“What latest events?” I asked.
“Why you couldn’t understand this world at first. Why you started dreaming when you were eighteen; those events.” She said.
“How do you know about that?” I asked and she smiled.
“Like I said. I am your spirit guide.” She said.
“Okay. So explain.” I said.
“I think you already know.” She said.
“Didn’t you say you were going to explain though?” I asked.
“Yes. The process works better if you try to explain it yourself. I am here because you are ready.” She stated.
“Well. I am not quite sure really. As I see it, this is my future life or something and for some reason I am connected to it.” I said.
“Actually, you got it in reverse.” She said.
“This is a past life? How can it be?” I asked.
“No. This is your present life. The other life, the one where you are in the Army and where your mother died, that is a past life.” She stated.
“I don’t get it. Why don’t I remember my life before I was eighteen here? And why is this happening to me?” I asked.
“It actually happens to everyone when they become eighteen years old here. We show them a past life, usually their worst, so they realize and learn how times were back then. That way they will keep living this life the correct way; the loving way, the way you have been living it thus far. And you will remember everything once it is all settled again. You will remember this experience and you will have your memories from before you were eighteen.” Gabrielle explained.
“What do you mean when everything settles? And why is it that everyone here also exists in my past life? Almost everyone, at least.” I asked
“When humans incarnate they decide to do so with the same circle of people as they have incarnated before. It makes them feel comfortable and it helps them solve any kind of past problems. New people join new circles from time to time though. It is their choice.” She explained.
“That is pretty cool. That’s how I thought it was going to be too. I guess I just knew, somehow.” I said and she just smiled. “You didn’t answer my first question though, what do you mean when you said ‘when everything settles’?” As soon as I asked that she smiled again and a big white light covered her and I woke up.
Damn it! I remember thinking. I hate waking up on those critical moments of my dreams. I guess I knew what she meant though. Everything suddenly makes sense and I am glad. It has been an amazing experience and I am glad this isn’t my actual life. I am curious though, how will everything start to settle and if I will ever dream again.
I have to close it out now though; I am starting to hear some gunfire outside. I am glad I decided to write this journal and I will continue to do so because if the future is the way I have been dreaming, then this should definitely give people some […]
Epilogue
This journal was recovered on January 28, 2008 from a United Stated base in Iraq. The exact location cannot be discussed for obvious reasons. I managed to get my hands on this diary, which was going to be thrown away, and I read through it. To me it seemed pretty amazing.
Private Robert doesn’t have any history of craziness or anything for that matter. I even asked the father, whom wasn’t really cooperative about it. He just said that his son barely talked to him, which he is mad about because he didn’t know his son as well as he would have wanted to.
I have always been a believer of many of the things Robert has stated here and I am not entirely sure if someone can have such a vast imagination to come up with so many of the things he has written about. Maybe I am wrong, I don’t know. I just thought that the whole world should probably read this, or at least a few good people. I am sure it will arrive at the correct hands.
To close up, I must say that it is sad that he couldn’t finish his last sentence. I have added […] to let people know that it wasn’t finished. Apparently he was killed while writing this
journal. He died writing the truth, and I feel like it is my duty to help him finish it out. Help me and spread it with me.
I must add that this hasn’t been edited at all. It has been spread as it was originally found. And to finish it up, I just want to say that I am sure he was about to write one last word and only one: hope.
