Do you know dream states?

[quintessentone]

What are dreams and is there different levels or dream worlds etc.?

This is a pretty good description.
"A person in Turiya is simultaneously aware of the dream state, the waking state, and the transcendental reality beyond both."

What's going on with dreams? How do I get that projection to do something else, is there deeper levels?

edit: Any comments are welcome, you don't have to be some kind of guru or expert.

Well, psychology tells us that dreams are our subconscious trying to tell our conscious something, usually that which has been tucked away into the dark recesses of our mind so we can forget it or not ever have to deal with it (perhaps to protect our mental health). What that something is we all have to try and figure out, or self-analysis, self-awareness and to end denial, or seek professional help to figure it out, or just leave it there never to be shown the light of day.

Projection (not quite the right word) or command over one's psyche, in my experience, is simply taking command of your dreams and orchestrating or creating whatever you want. I think this is an in between stage of sleep, not in REM, IMO. I have mastered knowing when I am in a dream and can change anything I want within that state, such as if I am in a room filling up with water, I simply will myself to grow gills and continue on my daily routine in the dream. I also taught my children how to do this and they tell me they have also been able to tell themselves while in their dreams that it is only a dream but then they orchestrate or change it at will.

As for astral projection, well I've always done it through deep meditation as I feel what is needed here is a focused approach to achieve a specific goal or journey.

No, we don't only dream during REM sleep. Dreaming can occur during both REM and non-REM (NREM) sleep. However, the types of dreams we have may differ depending on the sleep stage.
