I've never been one of those persons who lives by the clock.  My sleep pattern is highly irregular.  One could say I dislike sleep, I'm not keen on losing consciousness, and I never know how I'm gonna feel when I wake up.  The only thing I enjoy about sleep are the dreams, the ones I can remember when I wake, and more so those where I wake while I'm still asleep.   The waking dreams are very infrequent, and usually my conscious control over them is limited.  In fact trying to control them is usually what wakes me up.  Recently, I regained consciousness while dreaming and was frightend to find that I couldn't see, hear, or feel anything.  At first I found myself thinking, why can't I ever wake up in a wet dream!?  I was just about to try to wake myself when I heard a voice.  It said, we are the transdimensional beings.  This scared me a little, not all of my dreaming experiences have been enjoyable, and this one was starting out unique in it's strangeness.  After a tense pause I finally said, show yourself.  It responded - no, you aren't ready for that yet.  I thought about that for a few seconds and decided I definitely didn't like the sound of it.  The strange thing was I was really starting to get scared and couldn't get myself to wake up.  So I asked of it, what do you want from me?  It said, I've come to set you free.   Fear boiling over into panic I was thinking, free, free from what?  only it must've heard me or something because it said, I've come to set you free from whatever you want, or don't want.  I felt the need to think carefully what to say next, finally in an attempt to get past this and wake up I decided I'd ask the impossible, I want to be free of death.  Everything that is physical has a beginning and an end, not even the universe is free of this cycle.  I cannot help you with this, yet I'll do something better.  I will free you from your fear of death, if you so desire.  I suppose I should've thought about it, but I blurted out, YES, please free me of my fear of death.  After a moment the voice began.

When the universe was young an extraordinary race of beings evolved quickly through all the stages of physical, social, spiritual, and intellectual evolution.   They evolved to the point where they no longer had any need of their physical shell.  At first they wandered among the stars participating in the physical according to the dictates of their own perfected essence.   With the passing of time, some of them began to notice the lack of something, something they left behind.  They had evolved in persuit of perfection never realizing that that noble persuit might require a sacrifice too great.  Without their bodies they could travel anywhere influencing change on the physical plane, still, everything they could do was directly conditioned by the perfection in the structure of their perceptions.  They knew nothing of doubt, there was no such thing.  Yet the emotions that made the devolpment possible were still present in these incorporate beings.  While for most their exsistence was one of grace, purpose, and utter satisfaction, for some the old vices of fear, indifference, and frustration were slowly beginning to reappear.  The greatest among them gathered in comunion to see what could be done.  After a breif time they came to a conclusion, for some, learning is the central purpose to exsistence, regardless of their evolved state.  Perfection was a hollow exsistence to them.  To give them purpose they were given the power to become incarnate during the breif periods that encarnate beings live.  To learn and grow while never losing the perfection of their true essence, just temporarily unaware.  Experiencing growth and the joy of discovery just as their ancient ancestors did.  And so they exsist, from life to life, perfect in their quest for never ending growth and learning.
This is the story of the transdimensional beings...

Startled by the sudden end to the story, I realized my fear of death remained unabated.  I asked - What does all this have to do with my fear of death?!  The voice responded - WE are the transdimensional beings.  

Next thing I know I'm in my bed, the sun is shining, and I feel great.
