The Dream Thread

[Asolsutsesvyl]

Well, if you have time to spare, this is a hilarious dream I had at the end of this last night.
I am driving a very old car from the 20s, and going to class, the class is in an amphitheater and it is about learning to drive and history of movies combined. [...]

I'm familiar with "learning to drive" as a metaphor for learning to navigate life, as in successfully doing what is planned or intended at another level without it being derailed by accidents.

Well, the body is sometimes called "the vehicle" used by the soul. One part of being able to drive is then the soul's know-how, the other part being what the embodied self needs to re-learn each incarnation for the soul to be able to direct and live through it well.

The second part is often connected not just to some personal effort, but also some teaching or community of others. And then, at this level, there's the problem of different vocabularies, different philosophical ideas, other cultural differences, which can make it difficult for understanding across teachings or communities, even if each is complete-enough in itself for those who understand it.

That's stuff I have been thinking about a lot, so I was reminded of it.

Oh boy!, a dream thread!!!

I recently ran and participated in a consciousness experiment called "365 Days of Dreams".. The idea was to bring back dream content every day for 365 days. [...]

I very briefly experimented with remembering as many dreams as I could 15 years or so ago, that was a main part of what I found about how to learn "lucid dreaming", which I experimented a little with. But I left such things behind not long after.

Anyway, maybe I'll also post a collection of older dreams. But in my case, it would be a smaller number from a range of 15 years, perhaps a few older. I don't remember many dreams well, but there's some old ones that still stand out as meaningful.
