Video Transcript:
If you've ever watched the fantastic sci-fi animated adventures of Rick and Morty, you've probably day-dreamed about the possibility of really exploring alternate dimensions.
But, without Rick's portal gun, is it really possible to adventure into other worlds? In today's video, we'll be exploring a scientifically verified and genuine means to experience amazing alternative realities. So, grab your hip flask and button up your lab coat, let's learn how to travel to other dimensions...
Hello everyone, I'm Daniel Love, The Lucid Guide. Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon's existential comedy sci-fi romp, Rick and Morty, explores all manner of philosophical, scientific and otherworldly topics. But the core theme that runs throughout the show is Rick's ability to visit alternate realities. While real-world physicists are still playing with the theoretical side of multiverse theory - we humans are in the very fortunate position to be able to explore the experience of alternate dimensions with little more than the hardware of the human mind.
Indeed, each of us owns the most powerful biological computer in the known universe, a computer capable of creating astounding reality-simulations - I am, of course, referring to the human brain and the biological virtual reality of which it is capable - the world of dreams. More specifically, the ability to wake up within and control these dreams, a skill which is known as lucid dreaming. In fact, it is highly likely that the writers of Rick and Morty have taken inspiration from the power of lucid dreaming, having hinted at in episodes such as, "The Lawnmower Dog", a spoof of the popular lucid dream inspired film "Inception" - in this episode Rick and Morty enter and attempt to manipulate the dreams of others - with bizarre and hilarious results.Other episodes such as "Virtual Rick-Ality" explore the idea of virtual worlds, namely the life-simulation "Roy", where, in a situation not unlike ancient Lao Tzu philosophical parable the "Butterfly Dream", for the briefest of moments Rick and Morty get to live an entire simulated human life.
The show is littered with references to alternate realities, altered states of mind and existential exploration. So, to become an inter-dimensional dream explorer, one needs to adopt the same scientific mindset of Rick.Firstly, through the gathering of data by keeping a detailed record of one's dreams via a dream journal. Secondly, also like Rick, one has to be open to the possibility of multiple realities - indeed, in order to wake up inside a dream, one needs to learn to view waking life as just one possibility on a spectrum of realities. There are multiple techniques to induce a lucid dream - far more than can be covered in one video - but many of which are included in videos on this channel, so be sure to subscribe, but above all else a mindset of exploration, openness and scientific curiosity are key.
When you retire to bed at night - do not see it as the end of the day, see it as the start of an otherworldly adventure - and remain alert. For those of you who'd like to seriously explore the multiple realities of lucid dreaming, subscribe to this channel and pick up a copy of my book "Are You Dreaming?" - they will act as your guide to inter-dimensional adventures. However you wish to proceed, one thing is certain. While the fictional world of Rick and Morty may seem fantastical and highly unlikely - the power of the human mind can bring such experiences to life. Truth really is stranger than fiction.
So, if you're new to the concept of lucid dreaming, or curious to start an adventure into the cosmos of the mind - I highly recommend investing your time and energy into developing the skill. In time, the adventures of Rick and Morty will seem less like fiction and more like a relatable documentary on your own personal experience of the vast kaleidoscope of the universe. So, what would you do with your powers of inter-dimensional exploration? - leave your ideas in the comments below. So, that's it for today, thanks for watching.
