not
all
lucid dreams
are useful
but they all have a
sense of wonder
about them -
if you must sleep
through a
third of your life
why should you
sleep
through
your
dreams
too?
just as we all are gypsies of a sort in this life - in this world, so, too, we are in that other world - the dream world - the place where we are free to travel to places known or places unknown - free to travel far and wide - travel without fear - without trepidation - because just as we individually create our reality world, so do we each create our dream world -
Jung, on dreams, in his "ubergang":
a small hidden door to the most deep hidden and secret corners of the psyche, an entrance to the cosmic night, which was the psyche before there was any trace of an ‘ego’-consciousness:
and what will remain the psyche, no matter how far our ‘ego’-consciousness might stretch itself…
all consciousness acts to divide, but in our dreams we take the form of a more universal, true and eternal man who wanders through the darkness of the primal night.
There he is still the whole man, and this wholeness is in him, not distinguishable from nature and devoid of any ego-consciousness.
From this all unifying depth the dream arises; no matter how childish, grotesque or immoral the dream might be."

i loved this quote of laberge's - why SHOULD we sleep through dreams, when we can fly fly fly away and into the heavens...or whatever we wish - wonderful concept -
This picture really communicates the whole idea of lucid dreaming!
yes, doesn't it, trish? it's as if they were made for each other - loved it -
Wonderful said. Sometimes lucid dreams are better than nothing. Jenean, your sentences are zen alike: deepest dreams in deepest awakening.
