Analogy Seeks Description

In Buddhism there are different realms of Samsara. As we live in the human realm, we can only normally detect the human and animal realms. Now when we dream we touch the other realms such as nightmares (hell realms), transformations (animal realms), ghosts, superhuman powers and feeling of invincibility/eternity (god realm) and even those without form.

To perceive these in the real world it works thus:

Hell: distortion of reality from sleep deprivation (collapse of the real and the imaginary collide), also seeing deformed figures and forms in art and nature as well as bad trips
Hungry Ghost Realm: This is intense starvation but may the ghosts that people sometimes be a possible vision of this realm?
Animal/Human: Direct senses, shapeshifting may have more direct facility to animals but why try to change the physical reality when the mind can jump across (by magical intent)
DemiGod/God: This is an interesting one for it could be the pyramid up to the Illuminati (or controlling powers human or non-human). By understanding more and more of what goes on we see this more clearly.

Same space is occupied by all but our senses take out what we are not supposed to or do not want to see. If our perception of reality collapses then everything may get confusing.

Birth-ageing-death-bardo-rebirth: We slip through this all the time when we go to sleep and dream. We experience miniture death (sleep) and miniture rebirth (dream) before another miniture death and another dream or rebirth back to life (waking). There are techniques and chemicals that may make all this as real if not more so than real life.

Nirvana/Enligtenment: We stop all of this and become one with the universe for eternity helping all. A consequence of this is freedom from suffering and losing the individuality that is the cause of suffering. An intent to help others induces the virtue to stop self cherishing and speed up the process. There is a science for this and not just a philosophy. Its a quantum science of mind and consciousness that can be translated from Buddhist texts and experiments derived from.
