Seeing that you ask, Keith :),

I have had a few "lucid dreams" such as you describe which were
very similar in their quality and content, especially with regard
to the experience of being "educated" by the experience.  Once or
twice they involved known persons (then passed on, or "dead")
whose description I did not have at the time, but which later
proved to be rather accurate.

Whether such dream experiences occur between the earth and the
moon I cannot confirm (!) but theoretically I can see no reason
why this should not be the case.  If we, as individuals, have an
"aura" which extends beyond our visible physicality, why then,
surely it is likely to be so for the planet.  Maybe the
"deceased" or discarnate entities (many human) who facilitate
such intercourse actually have the potential for being present in
this aura-space, which space we enter in our dream state(s), and
thereby we can communicate with each other.

I have since abandoned the "lucid dream" research area for
contemplative or meditative approaches in which the same result
can be achieved in waking consciousness.  By this I mean that
while in the "lucid" state and examining or listening to
educational intercourse from "plane to plane" I remain reasonably
aware of my actual physical surroundings as I ordinarily perceive
them.  A bit like being awake in the dream, except that th
"dream" is awake in me.  Got that? :-).

Please - do not ask me how to do it!  It's very hard work and
takes a great deal of practice.  It is also too easy to fool
oneself, as I have _also_ discovered.  One thing I do not think
we can achieve on the net is an electronic ashram.

Wanna bet someone disagrees with that last?

Jerry - I my response to your suggestion re the Tibetan view,
read "buy that" for "but that" :-().
