Lucid dreams are the best. I enjoy them thoroughly.
Crazy? Not really. The highest goal of metaphysics is to see all things as one and oneself as an expression of all things. It sounds like you’ve had a direct visualization of concepts people spend lifetimes trying to understand intellectually.

Didn’t anyone warn you about the Brown Acid, seriously.
I suspect anytime we go through a period of enlightenment, our minds exist in that expanded plane. When we attempt to bring that knowledge back here, the expanded plane portion gets cut off as we can’t connect with it “down here”.
Just my take, been there, done that.
Or so I hear.
Wish I had more dreams like that
It kind of sounds to me like what Tibetan Buddhism calls the “Dharmakaya experience.” But I haven’t had it so I don’t know for sure. I do know this; don’t hang on to it. It’s just an experience like any other experience.
From Linear Algebra, when a 3d plane connects with 4d plane, the connection is the basis. You’re connect with the 4d source. Once the connection is broken, all you have is memories but not the connection to the source. The memory is organic, but the information is holographic and you no longer are connected.
Or so I’ve heard...
Which part? The not being alone or being the “Big Bang” in a hologram... the not experiencing “knowing everything” alone was the most intense and yet the shortest part of the dream, I have no favorite part of the dream, I want to go do it all over again and this time take notes when I get to the “know everything” part.

Try listening to spoken word programmes with headphones on, every night. I usually listen to BBC 4 for the late-night dramas, and if I fall asleep during the programme, I usually get into a dream involving the drama and myself.
It’s happened so many times, I can almost be certain of a lucid dream every time I try it.
What you’re doing is in the right track. Trying to record your dreams is the best way of entering lucidity whenever a future dream of yours enters familiar territory.
I believe this will be the future of entertainment - there won’t be any need for giant television screens or powerful audio systems - a direct interface to the brain to trigger all of the perceptible senses as part of the entertainment so real, you will confuse it with real life.
Actually, I didn’t pick a particular part but considered your dream as a whole. After all, what part of any life experience is ‘the whole thing’?
I would encourage you to do just continue to contemplate your dream and try to learn from it and develop from it both intellectually and aesthetically. And please, do take notes if you go through it again. AND YOU’D BETTER POST THEM HERE!!!!!
WOW I just Googled the Dharmakaya experience and Wow... that feeling of not being alone was explained in a way that I couldn’t put into words when I was typing this up...
Tomorrow I have to research this completely ...
Freepers are the best resource

That dream was better than any Movie, not as funny as the one when I was flying and felt the need to record my Take Offs and Landings but then again I have never been a Hologram before either.
I seldom dream (or so seldom remember them ) that writing them down shouldn’t be a problem...

It had never occurred to me that it might happen in the dream state but after a little thought about it I can think of no reason why it wouldn't or couldn't. TBs practice 'dream yoga' which is just practicing an awareness meditation while sleeping. One sleeps but never loses awareness. Something else I have never accomplished. (Well, one night I did but just that once.) Lucid dreaming is essentially being aware during dreaming. Anyway, mind is mind and there is no reason that any experience of mind couldn't or wouldn't happen while sleeping.
But please tell me what site you found that struck a chord with you. I still lust for tales of what the Dharmakaya experience is like. While being an experience of the same thing it must be totally unique for everyone.
Your Late!
Hell .. Just go ask my wife .. She beat you to Knowing Everything by at least thirty years!
Good One! I have three teenagers, who needs to dream, I’ll just ask them :^)

Now that’s a cool story
