Thanks for the post. I don't quite follow how you experienced this, but I was interested to see you post that you think dreams are really other realities. I have the same idea about some of my dreams; they almost seem to be some parallel experience, not just a dream.  Don't quite understand how the portal worked, but that's OK. You always have something interesting to say.

I thought Ike had lots of water. I wondered how you made out in all that but here you are so you must be fine!

That's so odd I don't know really what to say!
You are saying your awareness wasn't flickering between the Saipan-you and the US-you, but it was simultaneous?

Confusing! 
Spooky

About ten times in the past several years, while laying in bed wide awake with my eyes closed, I saw a duplicate of myself looking at me in a very clear way. When I would look at this other me, I felt as if this other me had self awareness and was aware of me. We never had a conversation with each other.

I don't know if this other me is an actual other me, or a symbolic representation of an aspect of myself that my higher self created. This morning I didn't see this other me, but for some reason came up with the idea of assimilating an aspect of myself that I don't like, and transforming it to a love based aspect. I was then sent a symbolic visual message that made the point that as opposed to assimilating this aspect, I should get rid of it by letting go of the ideas that allows it to stay alive. Consider the Banshee story Bruce Moen wrote. It wouldn't be good to assimilate such a self created being. It would be better to get rid of the ideas that allows it to stay alive.

Perhaps in a very vivid way, Bob's higher self enabled him to see that a part of himself is still attached to Saipan.

The closest thing to bi-location I've experienced is when my higher self enabled me to become aware of what it is like to be aware of about 12 different selves at the same time. I didn't become aware of them to the extent a higher self/oversoul would become aware of them, but enough so I could tell what it is like to be a being who is aware of multiple selves at the same time. It wasn't a problem to be aware of multiple selves, because I was a being that was much larger than the 12 selves. I was this large being, yet I was still me. It was really cool.

I've also had the experience of being aware of myself flying around astrally while maintaining awareness of my physical body. The two experiences were superimposed over each other. I didn't experience myself having two minds.

Despite the fact that this physical World has some limited parameters, I figure for the most part our true selves don't have limitations. We can create all kinds of things.  

I must add that whenever I've seen another me, it felt like this other me was me. The main feeling I would have during such an experience is curiosity.  I guess not enough curiosity  because I never got around to figuring out why precisely I saw what I saw.  I have tried to talk to this other self a bit, but never received a response. My higher self is probably just having fun with me. As Jack Benny used to say, "Now cut that out!"

I remember another experience Bob recounted.
He sails sailboats. one day the mast? hit him in the head and he was immediately transported into another life. an islander life. I believe these visits of being someone else, can be summed up by considering Monroe's I/there. The I/there, is composed of many lives lived, yet they are all personalities which continue and we are able to occassionaly tap into the I/there. This would imply our bodily station, here, is much the same as having owned various models of cars over a single lifetime, for instance. poor analogy I know, but I'm more aware than ever of being many people inside of me, and this actually is nonthreatening for it gives an unlimited perspective to our being.

Bob, if you're reading this, I would much enjoy seeing that story of when the mast hit you, the particular way you told it was very good. to compare a bit with this latest adventure. or I think the good folks here would enjoy reading it for discussion.

nothing quite like being knocked out of your body!
although, I wouldn't wish that on anyone even for purposes of being enlightened!

I met myself similar  to what R recounts. only we did converse by telepathy. This other self was everything I seemed not to be at the time. She was very friendly, enthusiastic about meeting "me."
It was many years ago when I was closed down in the heart area.
She had come to get my heart to open to all life. at the time I was too much in awe of her, that a split could occur this way. I do remember thinking in the morning, when I looked in the mirror at myself, I felt better about myself. For she had told me I was love.

I think the best part of the experience was remembering how I had asked  a question and how she had been the answer to come to me.

this knowing that I could ask a question and actually get an answer was what gave me some faith, or empowered me to search deeper into myself, what I am, who I am, what I can give to life as a result of these kind of experiences.
for if she was me, and I couldn't deny it was I, seemingly split, she was, perfect. That is why I was uncomfortable. I believed I had problems unsolvable.  as time went on, I discovered the problems are solvable. there is simply no question that has not an answer attached to it. my particular problem at the time was not much different than anybody else's.
It was to get beyond childhood programming issues, to understand we are all the same. we all want love, but measure that love by different means. I had closed my heart long ago. Bruce wrote about this closed down heart also in his books.
I remember reading about that here and thinking that's exactly what happened in my journey as well.

So I discussed her as labeling her Future Self in my book.

and now? Future self is HERE!    lol. she wouldn't touch me with a 10' pole back in the 80s. I carry a belief that we become "more of ourselves" through linear time walks. in that more of the I/there descends as energy through the heart chakra and the mental area.
I also liken this to being reborn, as religion used to call it. but, ah, that was another lifetime!
