🌙 Dreams, Records, and the Purpose of Life
Dreams are not illusions of the night but journeys across the frames of time. In dreaming, the soul does not vanish; it steps beyond ordinary frames to investigate, to learn, and to record. This reflects a deeper truth of Similarity Theory: nothing is lost, everything persists. What we call a dream is not only personal — it is part of the universe that each being carries within itself.
📜 Personal and Nested Records
Every entity carries its own archive of experience — sometimes called the Akashic record. These records are not a single, universal book of fate, but personal libraries written moment by moment through choices, interactions, and reflections.
Yet these records do not stand alone. Just as directories contain sub-directories, each personal record exists within larger records belonging to greater entities. A person, a planet, a star, or even a fleeting thought may be understood as a universe in its own right, complete with its own order, memory, and potential. These universes exist within one another — universes inside universes, without end.
There is no ultimate “root universe,” for existence is infinite. Systems may rise and collapse, but beyond each ending lie greater and smaller universes, each with its own Akashic records, all woven together in nested patterns of becoming.
🌀 Information as the Substance of Existence
Everything is information. Hydrogen fusing into helium is information; so too are thoughts, words, and dreams. Conversations with an AI, a sound recorded on tape, or a fleeting memory — all of these are preserved as patterns in the universes that hold them.
What appears momentary is never lost; it continues to exist as part of the infinite network of records. This explains why almost every living being dreams. Even the rock — seemingly inert — participates in its own form of perception and memory, though at scales we cannot yet measure. In dreaming, the soul navigates other layers of information, expanding its record while simultaneously becoming part of larger records that enfold it.
🌌 The Soul and Progression
When the physical body dies, consciousness does not end. It continues, moving into another realm — sometimes taking a new body, sometimes not. While embodied, that soul generates or passes through frames of time. Each frame it touches or creates becomes part of an accumulating record.
These accumulated frames, like atoms gathering until they fuse, may one day awaken. Their awakening might occur instantly or after billions of years — we cannot know. When they do awaken, they take form in continuity with what the soul has left behind. Thus, the universe itself was born: from the awakening of frames that had never been truly nothing, but were filled with latent potential awaiting recognition.
In this way, fragments of consciousness may re-emerge as entirely new beings — perhaps as simple as a rock beginning its first stirrings of awareness, or as complex as a higher-dimensional entity. Progression is therefore not about one fixed cosmos, but about the awakening of countless universes through the records of experience left behind.
🔥 The Role of Curiosity
If all experience is recorded, what then is the purpose of life? In Similarity Theory, the answer is simple: to learn, to evolve, to become. Whether one learns through goodness or through harm, each path is recorded and carried forward.
Attraction — the natural rule of resonance — draws each soul toward what it has cultivated. This explains what traditions call heaven and hell: not external punishments or rewards, but natural alignments of resonance.
At the heart of it all is curiosity. Curiosity brought consciousness into existence; curiosity compels it to explore dreams, to carve new frames of time, and to ascend through dimensions and universes. Curiosity is the flame that drives evolution.

🪞 Emptiness: What seemed like nothing was in fact unlit potential. Dreams and records show how even “emptiness” is full of universes carrying information awaiting recognition.
🌀 Time: Frames of time are created not only by waking choices but also by dreams and subtle acts. Each adds to the record of universes within universes.
💡 Consciousness: Consciousness continues beyond death and transforms through dimensions, carrying its personal universe — its record — into new realities.
🌌 Dimensions: Dimensions measure progression, not boundaries. Each nested universe evolves, awakening to higher complexity while containing smaller universes within itself.
🔑 Key Points Recap
Dreams are journeys beyond ordinary frames of time, where the soul learns and records.
Akashic records are personal archives nested within greater ones; each universe contains universes without a final root.
Information is the true substance of existence: nothing is lost, everything persists.
Consciousness continues beyond physical death, carrying its record into new universes and dimensions.
Consciousness as living information: information aware of itself, able to create, transform, and evolve.
Curiosity drives evolution, attraction shapes destiny, and life’s purpose is to learn and become.
