>lake on one place while in the dream there's none.
lakes sometimes have deeper meaning. It's not always just a body of water. Sometimes an energetic nourishment or it can be a portal to an another world that is hidden in that place.

>someone in my dream making a very clever joke which I only understood later that day
Once I asked someone who he was. He told me
>I am the spirit that haunts Europe!
then he jumped out of the window.
When I woke up I was like what??? Then I realized it was May 1st that day. Workers Day... He joked that he is communism itself.
>chance that you can elicit new (or ancient) information from within the dream
Sometimes you connect to past lives. It's good when the connection arises.
>never heard of that word before
I to had that sometimes. Like I didn't know you pronounce Vajra as Vahhra with a soft r that is almost like an l. Had to look at several pronunciation videos and when they said it with an r comments said THAT'S NOT HOW YOU PRONOUNCE IT. But then again too many dialects as always. My mind rejects most foreign words tho. Hard to remember most.

>it only happens when I dabble and focus on the occult
Your mental state gets more aligned with those subjects and more recipient too. You sometimes connect to the entities or places you read or practiced with sometimes to past lives that also dabbled in the occult like you now. I had to realize that those who dabble in the occult are usually in it for deeper reasons especially those who venture beyond the surface level.
>it almost gave me schizophrenia
