Alan Watts was one of the world’s greatest philosophers and teachers of metaphysics of all time and he would have been 106 years old this week. I was listening to a lecture of his that fell into my lap circulating to commemorate his life and contribution to the field I happen to be a bit of a fan of, drawn in by the topic of sleep, a very relevant one for me because I don’t do it very well, and heard something different instead. A parallel.  I love finding parallels. They’re everywhere. It’s how this universe is made. As above, so below, as within, so without. And in this case…as in dreams, so in life. Consciousness, and awakening. Dreaming…and becoming lucid. That’s my most favourite way to describe spiritual awakening. Lucid living is the way I see it, the way I say it and the way I understand it. Lucid living. Becoming lucid in life. Because this is all just states of consciousness.
