This morning awoke with a dream which as I traced it I could see the theme of chaos and tumbling imagery, the thread of intending to do x being obstructed y seemed to then become the chosen path, all viewed through a familiar but not altogether reliable lens…my thoughts went to the current interface between the familiar external life and the less familiar evolving internal life that comes via the PaB experience. Chaos may be the turbulence inevitable when streams flow together from different but confluent streams or rivers. Interesting that previously I have generally trusted the messages from the dream space, but now I may be exposed to viewing the dream as the turbulence itself, not an untrustworthy messenger, just delivering a different message, one of process rather than content.

Apart from widening the ways of playing with interpretations and ways of tasting dreams, how about playing with dream-like awareness itself? What happens when you close your eyes and invite dream-like images and stories to unfold without having to fall asleep? Perhaps for just a few minutes? I would love to hear your reports and reflections on that type of exploration too!
