It's Summer in San Francisco and it is time to put some sun tan
lotion on your dreams. Get past your fears of really having fun
in your dreams and with your dreams. Linda Magallon encourages us
in her Dream Trek column to join her in on a dreamcycle built for
two (or more).
Our friend in Australia, Southern America and below the equator
can have just as much fun even if winter is coming for you!
Sage Healing Wolf. Aka Taylor Kingsley, returns this month with
an update on the DreamJourneys project. Taylor used to write a
regular column for us and this project is an interesting one.
What happens when we consider our dreams as sacred journeys? This
view leads to approaches that can draw on traditional
interpretive methods, but also allow the individual connection to
the great spirit. Take a look at this project and get ready for
an transformation.
In February Tony Dubetz put his dream book online and has the
discussion mail list open for chat (ed-core@lists.best.com)
Electric Dreams is also publishing this work in parts. This month
concludes the series and shows how to apply all the previous
theory and examples to waking life.
For the full text go to
www.dreamgate.com/dream/dubetz/
Dr Deus continues the use of dreams to explore the divine nature
of your soul as exampled by the world famous "rarissimo" oneric spiritual
phenomena of Ascensions on the Winged Horse. See Divine Reutrn in this
month's Divine Messages.
Well, I promised that this article would focus on all the ways
new folks to the Internet could participate in cyberdreaming. I
don't quite have this in place. In the mean time, you can stop by
the CyberDream Library and read the Scoop file.
Www.dreamgate.com/dream/library/
Ever thought that dreams are poorly represented in film? That
for the most part the essence of dreaming is twisted to meet the
films needs rather than allowed to develop like a character? Me
too. I was asked recently by a film maker to comment on this and
have reproduced that extended comment here.
Also,
I would like to direct your attention to the ASD conference
next month. (Association for the Study of Dreams) Whether you
will be there in person or would like to peek in via cyberspace,
you will sure be welcome. The conference itself will be in
Hawaii, but you can watch from three different venues. First, the
ASD homepage www.adreams.org
Second the Remote Presentation on the History of Dreaming in
Cyberspace
www.dreamgate.com/dream/history
and finally via real live chat that will be made available by
Roger Ripert and his crew who will be flying in from France.
Don't miss the "Notes to the Editor". We have some projects that
really need your attention and some research that really needs
your dream inputs.
Are you happy with the way dreams are portrayed in films and TV?
I have a few comments and suggestions to producers in How to
Portray a Dream in Film.
Did you miss the DREAM SECTION last month? If so, you can pick
up a copy at the Electric Dreams Backissue page.

Are you interested in the events, conferences and projects
that are concerned with dreams and dreaming? If so, be sure to
read Peggy Coat's Global Dreaming News. This forum will update
you on what is happening in the world of dreams, both online and
off. If you have information you feel should be on this news,
contact Peggy at pcoats@dreamtree.com or stop by the newly
upgraded www.dreamtree.com
.
Don't forget we now have an illustrated version of Electric
Dreams! Sounds too! You can get a zipped copy right to your own
email box once a month that you can view in your own favorite
browser offline. It is nice to have pictures and formatted text!
Be sure to send Dane Pestano your thank you notes for putting
this together each month. I soon hope to have graphic artists
contributing more art as well. Volunteers always welcome!

From
Patricia Kampmeier <patkamp@pacbell.net>
I am collecting dreams for a book!
of fish, worms, wolves, cats and salamanders, and also numinous
dreams of any kind. Series of any of these would be especially
interesting. Please tell your dream(s) and then a little about
what that symbol means for you. If you wish to show the work you
have done, including drawings, to arrive at that meaning(s),that
would be great, too, though not necessary.
Several meanings for a particular symbol are OK, since dreams are
many-layered. I would also like to know how old you were when
you had each dream.
You can email me

DREAM TREK
By Linda Lane Magallon
Is Godzilla In The House?
=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=
Although the sun was shining, the still, cool air had a sharp
edge that sliced through my jacket and sunk to bone level. I
walked quickly to keep warm. A group of small folk were careening
about on their bicycles, back and forth from sidewalk to street.
It was obvious that one young man's bike was a recent
acquisition. He was having some difficulty steering it.
Suddenly, he twisted the handle and toppled over to one side. Boy
and bike tumbled gently onto the grass. Quickly the mistake was
rectified when the boy pulled himself and the bike up again. As I
approached, I could see an amazing array of expressions march
across his face.
First there was sudden panic. "Oh no, what if I'm hurt?" Then his
visage changed to "Yes, it *does* hurt, should I cry?" And
finally, "Well, maybe it's not all *that* bad, but it was scary.
If I make a fuss, will I get sympathy?"
By this time a female companion, older by a couple of years, had
returned to his location. She rode by on her own bicycle,
watching him, but did not stop. "Are you all right?" she called
out, then urged, "Come on, just get back on."
The boy had been upset, that much was certain. Perhaps he had a
few bumps and bruises as well. But he also had a model, a friend
who assumed that spills and chills were par for the course. She
knew he could continue to ride. Which he did, mounting the
bicycle, balancing it again and pedaling off while making nary a
sound of protest. I couldn't help but be impressed by the
behavior I had just witnessed.
I mused how analogous this incident was to my own Dream Trek.
Trouble, pain and fear, my Inner Child knows a'plenty. Making
mistakes, yes; tripping, for sure. But continuing to rise and get
back on the program. It might take much more time than a few
short moments, but I remembered licking my wounds, retreating to
heal and then daring to move forward again. Searching for the
methods, the models, the traveling companions that would help me
move beyond the walls, around the traps, and through the valley
of shadows to emerge as a Healthy and Happy Kid on the other
side.
Then a memory flashed into my mind. It was a panel of
dreamworkers. They were discussing the "dangers" of lucid
dreaming. No, "discussing" is too intellectual a word. These
folks may have been academics, but their flushed faces revealed
the true emotional undertone of the presentation. They were
worried. They were scared. And in order to get sympathy, they
were making a real fuss.
During the entire presentation there wasn't a single "older
companion" to serve as a reality check on emotions run wild. So
their Inner Children threw a temper tantrum, right up there on
stage of the college auditorium. And in the process, actual
bruises and imagined hurts were wrapped up together in a big fear
balloon that got blown up the size of a humongous stomping
reptilian beast.
Richard Wilkerson has been asking me to start a FAQ on proactive
dreaming. Yeah, sure, Richard. First, I have a question.
Is Godzilla still in the house?

CALL FOR DREAMJOURNEYS
by Sage Healing Wolf
(a.k.a. Taylor Kingsley)
=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=
Greetings, dreamers! Some of you may remember me as having
written a column on Dreamjourneys, Dreams of Spiritual Awakening,
in ED a few years ago. At that time, I began collecting
dreamjourneys for a book called Dreamjourneys. Thanks again to
all of you who have sent in dreams so far.
The project is now moving forward again. I have a good agent
interested in promoting the book, and I'm back to actively
collecting, researching and teaching about dreamjourneys. You are
cordially invited to send me descriptions of any spiritually
powerful dreams you have had, both to share in this electronic
forum for discussion, and for possible inclusion in my book.
Called "great dreams" by the Ojibwa and "big dreams" by the
Iroquois, dreamsjourneys have been recognized by shamanic
cultures worldwide as transformative sacred experiences - direct
contact with the world of Spirit.
Types of dreamjourneys may include:
*psychic, telepathic and precognitive dreams
*healing dreams
*soul journeys to other realities, times, places, worlds
*creative inspiration dreams
*divine messages from spirit guides including God/dess,
angels, totems
*contact with the deceased
*dreams of shamanic initiation (underworld, death and
rebirth, dismemberment, demonic adversaries are common themes in
such dreams).
Dreamjourneys that are clear examples of each type will be
included in the book.
A dreamjourney is a dream that the dreamer knows is "more than
just a dream."
My book presents the theory that dreamjourneys, because they are
actual, real sacred journeys and messages, do not need to be
"interpreted." Thus, applying a symbolic Freudian or Jungian
interpretation method to them is less useful than simply
recognizing them as sleeping visions and accepting them as
shamanic journeys and sacred gifts.
There is no minimum or maximum guideline for number of words;
just tell your dreamjourney story in your own words, detailing
the dream as precisely as you can, tell when you had it, how it
changed your life, what it meant to you, what you learned from
it. Indicate if you wish to be credited by name, by pseudonym
(your choice or my concoction) or anonymously. There is
no compensation. Leave me your email and snail mail address,
please. (phone # is optional)
I would also be interested in hearing your successful methods of
remembering dreams, and manifesting more spiritual dreams (such
as your methods of purification, incubation, prayer, ritual,
affirmations, etc.).
Please mail your submissions to shaman@sirius.com
By the way, you can also drop me a note if you'd like to be on my
(spam-free!!!) mailing list so I can let you know when the book
is available.
Thank you, and many blessings for sweet dreams and joyous
journeys.

INVITATION:
Shamanic Dreamjourney Circle Now Forming
Through shamanic ritual, discussion and direct dreamjourney
experience, this unique monthly dream group will completely
catalyze your dreamworld experiences, enhancing your spiritual
power on your own path, bringing reater healing sacred medicine
of the Dream Spirits into your waking life.
Note: If You Are Interested in this Circle and Would like to
Check it out With No Obligation, You Can Come to an Introductory
Workshop May 21 or June 22. The Cost Is Only $10-40 for this
Workshop, Which Will Fully Explain the Dreamjourney Circle. Write
for more info.
One Saturday evening each month, we will explore dreamjourneys,
dreams of spiritual awakening. Dreamjourney Circle will be held
in Emeryville, CA and at a sacred retreat in a lush pine/oak
forest in the Sierras (dates to be
announced).
Our sacred circle will begin at 5 p.m. Saturday evening with
creation of
sacred space. Each month, Sage will lead a transformative
workshop on
Dreamjourneys. Topics will include:
What Is a Dreamjourney?
Dreamjourneys from a Multicultural Shamanic Perspective
Types of Dreamjourneys
Benefits of Dreamjourneys
Dreamjourneys and Lucid Dreams
Increasing Dream Recall
Manifesting Dream Journeys
After the workshop, we will enjoy a potluck dinner to share the
Earth's blessings and create sacred community.
Next, we will do ritual, shamanic journeying, drumming and
magickal dance to lead us directly to the Spirit world, calling
upon spirits of East, South, West, North, Above, Below, Center,
the ancestors, our totems, and all of our Dream Spirits to guide
us and gift us with a dreamjourney that night.
Each month we will explore different shamanic methods of dream
incubation. We will be woken twice during the night at intervals
during which we are most likely to be dreaming. We will record
our dreams. Sunday morning, we will give a ritual of thanks then
share and honor our dreams and dreamjourneys. "Regular" dreams
will be interpreted using standard Jungian methods such as
symbolic imagery, archetypes, and amplification. Dreamjourneys
will be validated as sacred gifts - their wisdom applied to our
lives in full integration of Body, Mind, Heart and Spirit. We
will enjoy a light breakfast to ground and reconnect with the
Body and Earth.
This is an experiential spiritual group in which participants
will actually do ritual, drum, dance, and deepen connection with
personal spirit guides including totems and Dream Spirits.
Shamanic Journeying - Trancedance - Drumming and More
This is a brand-new group so the cost is very low to make it
possible for you to join us. Only $40-100 sliding scale includes
overnight accommodations, all ritual and workshop materials, and

Easy Dreams:
Making Nightmares Pay
(Part IV: Confirmation and Implementation)
by
Anthony Dubetz
+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+
Its just around the corner and you have no place to hide. It
knows where you are, follows you relentlessly and reads your
mind. eeeek! And then you wake up. It was a nightmare and now you
really would like to talk to someone. Who to Call?
Anthony Dubetz, author of EASY DREAMS has a special phone line
just for you! the Dream Hot line in Chicago (312) 589-2471 has
been helping those puzzled by dreams for several years.
"the Main thing is what your think about your dream", he says, "
That is, what you must eliminate the next day." Overused parts
of the personality leave other parts neglected. "Maybe your dream
is actually telling you that you've reached a burn-out level in
your personality. the dream might be getting a little scarier
every day - it may be shouting at you."
Now Anthony is making his dream wisdom available to readers of
Electric Dreams and will be online answering questions about
ideas and particular dreams on the ed-core mail list.
If you would like to see the whole text complete,
1. you can
get Tony's text, _Easy Dreams- Making Nightmares Pay_, a 41 page
booklet fully explaining The Dream Hot-Line method available for
$6.00 send to Anthony Dubetz, P.O. Box 34934, Chicago IL 60634

Feb and ED 3 #4
----------------------------------------------------------------
Easy Dreams: Making Nightmares Pay :
You're out of your element. That's what we believe happens
in a dream. Part of your soul, spirit, aura, etc. leaves your
body (element) while you sleep and interacts with the collective
spirit of your environment.
The part that leaves is your weakest part. Therefore, when
you see it you've got a good idea of what you should avoid
becoming when you wake up. If you can avoid becoming like your
weakness, you will be strong. Also, your dream travels ahead in
time toward the direction of your momentum. Because of this
you have at least 24 hours notice of your own future. The next
day you will be in for a close encounter with that future.
Remain the way you were in your dream and that encounter will
be deja vu.
Now that you know why we recommend you avoid becoming like
your dream but instead remain the way you were in your dream,
you're ready to read the method. When you've discovered your
dream's momentum and you'd prefer to travel your own path
instead, I've personally taken to trying the path out to the
right or left of my dream's geographical location (from where I
dreamt the dream.) For example, if my dream was of a place North
of where I slept, I find myself feeling stronger to the East or
West. Good deja vu to you and pleasant dreams.

Previously we have gone through 3 of the 4 steps in in my method
of reading dreams. You have learned to (1) find the middle, (2)
discern the dreamer's impression of that middle, and (3) know
that the impression is the message detailing what the dream er
should avoid in himself.
In this final installment, you will learn (4) that if you
remember to implement this message of warning or avoidance, that
as confirmation, de'ja vu will come to you.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
----------
31
IV. Confirmation
You now have a grasp of the first three steps in my
approach to reading dreams (the middle, the impression, and the
message) and may wonder what else is there to the method. If you
are not reading this book at one sitting or in one day, but
reading it over a few days or weeks, and if you are remembering
your dreams and trying my approach to find their messages, you
may have already experienced the fourth step in my approach. That
step is an experience more than an action. The experience is
"de'ja vu." We all must have experienced this feeling of being
sensually aware of an experience you cannot remember ever
actually having. It is a mystery. Almost. I believe de'ja vu is
an awake re experiencing of the middle symbol in your dream. If
the middle symbol was not recognizable through an analysis when
you awoke, its reappearance in your daily routine can be a de'ja
vu experience.
Suppose you do not remember your dream. Because you do not
consciously recall your dream, the middle symbol would have to be
quite near the point of being on the threshold of your memory to
be experienced as de'ja vu. In fact, the stronger the impression
it makes on you in your dream, the more likely the dream symbol
will be re-experienced as de'ja vu. In fact, I believe that de'ja
vu is only a very strong impression of the middle broken out into
the awakened state of a dreamer who does not try to remember
dreams but may pooh-pooh them or consciously try to forget them.
If you can remember every dream, you can experience the de'ja vu
that other dreamers only sense rarely. . I will further say,
dreamers who do not remember their dreams re-experience their
encounters with the middle, but because they have sublimated that
memory are not aware of this experience when it recurs except in
the cases when the middle impression is too strong to be ignored
and forces itself through the dreamer's self-imposed barriers.
De'ja vu can be either frightening or pleasurable but it is
always a mysterious experience. I believe that if you do not heed
the warning of your dream's message,
32
the experience of de'ja vu will be an unpleasant one. I believe
this experience will exercise control over you rather than be
perceived as a spectator views an exciting movie. If a horror
movie is too terrifying, you can walk out on it. Or you may enjoy
the excitement because you know when it is over you can go home
the same way you came in. But, if you suddenly became a character
in the movie and every attempt you made to extricate yourself
from that movie only became the next frame in that film, you
certainly would not go home feeling the same way you did when you
came in. How do you keep your perspective in the audience and
enjoy the movie rather than lose your perspective and be come a
puppet in a scenario written and directed by others?
The secret is in whether you heed the dream's warning or not.
Heed the dream's warning and the middle symbol's impression will
come to you in a way you can control, a way you can handle as you
handle the terror of a horror show. Only it will be a lot more
exciting than a movie be cause the movie will be your own life.
You will direct the most lavish movie ever made: your destiny.
If, however, you do not heed the dream's warning, you will be
caught up in a no-escape contract to perform what you must and
not what you choose. You will become the central figure in a
tragedy that you cannot leave with the spilled pop corn and
sticky floors of a movie house. Here is an exam ple of what you
don't want to do.
There seems to be a deathlike
stillness about me. Then I hear
sobs, as if a number of people
were weeping. I thought I left
my bed and wandered down-
stairs. There the silence was
broken by the same pitiful sob-
bing, but the mourners were in-
visible. I went from room to room.
No living person was in sight but
the same mournful sounds of
distress as I passed along. It
33
was light in all the rooms and
every object was familiar to me.
But where were all the people
who were grieving as if their
hearts would break? I was puz-
zled and alarmed. What could
be the meaning of all this?
Determined to find the cause of
a state of things so mysterious
and so shocking, I kept on until
I arrived at the East Room,
which I entered. There I met
with a sickening surprise. Be-
fore me was a catafalque on
which rested a corpse wrapped
in funeral vestments. Around it
were stationed soldiers who were
acting as guards, and there was
a throng of people, some gazing
mournfully upon the corpse whose
face was covered, others weeping
pitifully. "Who is dead in the
White House?" I demanded of one
of the soldiers. "The President"
was his answer. "He was killed
by an assassin." Then came a
loud burst of grief from the crowd
which awoke me from my dreams.
If you haven't already guessed, the middle of this dream was the
corpse of President Lincoln, which is being guarded by soldiers
in uniform. It is the most impressive part of the dream. Even
Lincoln's first words, spoken to his personal aide and to Mrs.
Lincoln, were "There seems to be a deathlike stillness about me."
Deathlike, death, assassinated, killed - these are all words
describing the middle figures in the dream. There is no doubt,
even though we are looking at this dream already knowing its
consequences, that the message was to avoid death. Avoid being
assassinated. Lincoln was continually warned about threats on his
life. Upon telling this dream the next day to his wife and
34
aide, who had always been concerned with his lack of security and
whom we can thank for the recording of this dream, Lincoln noted
that the dream did disturb him but even if it were a true omen,
he thought there was no way it could be stopped. He thought that
it was the will of God and the good Lord knew best about these
things. Lincoln's incredible fatalism was a contributing cause of
his death. I believe the event of his death could have been
avoided had he heeded his dream warning. Instead, he made no
extra arrangements for his security, much to the anguish of the
aide who recorded this dream.
Will you, having properly read your dream's warning, be able to
predict what form your "confirmation" or de'ja vu will take?
Absolutely not. Heed your dream's warning and know only that what
you were warned about will come to you in a harmless form. The
middle will appear to you as a confirmation, to confirm that your
dream reading was correct and worthwhile. Foreknow ledge of the
confirmation scenario will always remain a mystery. Be grateful
for little things, like avoiding assassination or bad paintings,
but never be greedy enough to ask why or for what purpose. That
is as bad as ignoring the message altogether. When asked when and
now your confirmation might come, a great man once said that it
would suffice to be prepared. When it shall come or what it shall
look like will be of no con sequence, for you will be ready.
Let's look at another example of this experience of de'ja vu
following a dream from the chronicles of the famous American
frontiersman, Frederic Remington, in his book Frederic
Remington's Own West.
An Indian scout, caught in a blizzard on the American
plains, retells a dream he had while he took shelter.
A girl what I was use know she
come drop, drop out of de sky,
She had kettle of boil meat,
35
but she was not come right up,
was keep off jus' front of my
pony. I was run after de girl,
but she was float 'long front
of me--I could not catch her.
The scout's dream saved his life in a most unusual way. Unlike
Lincoln who decided whatever the dream was could be of no use to
him, since such matters were for God to decide the Indian scout
heeded his dream. So- called primitive societies like the
American Indians put a great deal of credence in signs of nature
and spirits. The strongest impression of the scout's dream was
the fact that the girl who dropped out of the sky did not drop
all the way to the ground but floated just above ground. This
floating, besides being the strongest impression, also is the
middle ground between the sky from which she came, and the earth
to which she was falling. Floating in-between these two points is
the middle symbol. The kettle of boiling meat she held between
the scout's pony and herself has a middle-ground quality about
it. If you think about boiling meat you know that it floats.
Floating is the middle symbol. The scout chased this middle
symbol. His impression of it was that he could not catch it. The
middle symbol was always out of his reach and un catchable. The
message of this dream is avoid becoming uncatchable, or receptive
to safety and comfort. This means do not put yourself in a
situation that seems perfectly safe but isn't. This is what
complacency is all about. As soon as you think you've got it made
and relax in the comfort of your complacency, you have begun to
write your own epitaph. The Indian scout did not fall into
complacency. Listen to the rest of the story. He awoke from his
dream and continued through the blizzard to deliver the important
dispatch he was carrying. Along the way he stumbled into a camp
where two other scouts had a fire going. They tell him of hostile
Indians nearby and then try to persuade him not to go on with the
dis patch but to instead remain with them and share the
36
safety of their camp. This reasoning rang loudly in the scout's
mind. He had just had a dream where the middle symbol was an
enticing kettle of hot food that was un-catchable. Wasn't the
camp of his fellow scouts enticing with its warm fire, safely
hidden near danger? The impact of this strange coincidence caused
a stunning reply that almost spoke itself from the lips of the
cold and hungry scout. Here was a man who had just struggled
through a blizzard and had a long journey, probably dangerous,
ahead of him and he, well let him tell you what he said: "I say,
by gar, I am woman; I have got sense. You wan' stay here, you be
dead. Den I take my pony un I go 'way een de dark..."
The scout avoided the warm and illusory safety of camp to
continue to his destination despite warnings of danger and
delivered his dispatch alive and well. His fellow scouts who
stayed behind in their warm, safe, uncatchable position were
attacked by the Indians they warned the scout about. One was
killed; he other bare ly escaped. Lincoln did not take his
dream's message and apply it to his life. That was God's job, he
said. Lincoln became the dream's middle, a dead man. The Indian
scout took his dream's message to heart and left nothing to God
or fate that he could not handle himself. He avoided becoming
safe. He refused to be complacent. The confirmation of his
decision came to him in the form of news that what he avoided was
not the illusion of comfort and safety it seemed to be. In fact,
its safety was an illusion cloaking death and injury. President
Lincoln received his confirmation of the dream's validity in a
terrible fashion. He became the news of what should have been
avoided.
The confirmation will come. How you want to receive it is your
choice. You can take it the easy way in news of others or you can
take it the hard way and become the news. Either way, its coming
is inevitable. It is written but you can edit it. Here's another
example. A man in prison often dreams a dream like this. It is
taken from the book The Executioner's Song by Norman Mailer.
37
I see demons, they pull in harness
like oxen, a wood creaking tumbrel,
a grey wood tumbrel through the
cobbled streets of my ancient mind.
We have in this dream a cobbled street, a heavy wagon, and demons
pulling the wagon. The demons are the strongest impression for
they bring to mind oxen which are not in the dream. The other
adjectives describe what the dreamer sees. These are objective
descriptions like grey, cobblestone, and ancient, to describe the
period. But, the word oxen describes the demons not as they
appear but how they seem to the dreamer. The demons, because they
are a common or middle ground between the wagon and the street,
are the middle symbol. The dreamer's impression of these demons
is that they are like oxen. The message is then to avoid being
oxlike. Oxlike is a term to describe brute strength strong as an
ox. This dreamer, convicted of brutal murders, often challenged
people to contests of strength and in these acts became the
impersonation of an ox. Instead of a- voiding the quality in
himself, he tested it daily and claimed to be strong enough to
order his own execution. He insisted on that execution
immediately rather than go through a possible life sentence of
appeals and com mutations of sentence for the capital crimes he
committed. In a sensational court decision, he was executed as he
wished. He was shot dead like a mad dog or animal, like an ox
before it is butchered. He took it the hard way because he wasn't
strong enough to live.

38
V. Your Bootstraps
Now you know the four steps in my method of reading dreams. You
have learned to (1) find the middle, (2) discern the dreamer's
impression of that middle, and (3) know that the impression is
the message detailing what the dream er should avoid in himself.
You also know, (4) that if you remember to implement this message
of warning or avoidance, that as confirmation, de'ja vu will come
to you. Reading along with me through the examples in this book
may have been quite easy because they were dreams of others or
imaginary dreams of your own, but if you have tried this method
on a few of your own dreams you know, presuming you found the
message in your dream, that remembering to implement this message
in your daily routine is far from easy. It takes a tremendous
amount of will power just to remember the message, let alone to
implement it. I call this implementation your bootstraps.
A pair of good high boots are great protection against the
weather but they're a pain in the neck to get on and off, aren't
they? You can only have beauty at a cost. The cost of the
beautiful experience of de'ja vu will be the tremendous effort
you must put forth in remembering dreams, pleasant and
unpleasant, sorting through the distracting and sometimes
frightening accompanying symbols which direct you to the middle,
and implementing the messages to replace your customary routine
behavior. You are trying to eradicate a part of your behavior
that is imperfect. That behavior is very comfortable not because
it is good for you but because it is easy. You have been doing it
for a long time. It makes no demands on your creativity.
We have a chance every day to create a better self, but if we do
not exercise that freedom the self that is left will stand for a
while, but its deterioration in time will make us feel tired,
blase, bored, depressed, and even sick. Many of us have nothing
to identify with but the body we live in. It dies a little every
day. That is why we must counter death with the creative life of
behavioral change. Creation brings new life into the world.
39
a new personality? Your new personality doesn't have to be a
whole lot different from the one from yesterday, but if it is a
little improved because you avoided an imperfection to which you
were once susceptible, it is a new personality. Just as you don't
ordinarily die a whole lot every day physically, so too your new
personality; it may hardly be perceptible as changed, is a little
newer; it has a little more life.
People who experience great physical changes due to accident,
misfortune, or disease make great changes in their personalities
to cope with their different physical selves. It is obvious to
them that a change is in order for their personality. Whether
they consciously make a change for the better and create a new
life in the part of themselves they still have whole, or are
overwhelmed by the change they have been reluctant to make
because of the shock they may have suffered from their sudden
physical alteration, change inevitably occurs. These people
experience the change or the need for it more deeply than those
whose physical changes creep over them almost imperceptibly day
by day. Again, whether you make the inner changes suddenly
because of sudden outward changes or put the changes off because
the outward changes are not perceptible, the changes must be made
with your consent or over your objection. The postponing of the
creation of a new personality to cope with your different
physical body can put unbearable stress on you. This is how
people end up seeking help from emotional distress. They seek it
from many sources: friends, clergy, physicians, psychiatrists,
druggists, travel agents, and prayer. Seldom do they seek help
from dreams, yet dreams are the most effective help because they
are always receptive to your needs. Because they are a part of
your totality, they have a personal stake in your well-being and
happiness. Then too, your dreams are always available to you. You
must, however, have the will-power
40
to remember the dreams and faith in their message to implement
that message. If you can just analyze one dream correctly and
implement its message, and experience the de'ja vu that confirms
your will-power as real ly a true power, you are on your way. You
will have picked yourself up by your bootstraps and you will have
become a little more alive in the face of the little death we
daily die.
When you go to sleep your body falls asleep early while your mind
may be still winding down. The time difference between these two
events allows your mind to act as a king of time machine. It
continues to calculate and plan your next moves in the great game
of life, creating a best case and worst case scenario for your
immediate future. How far into the future your mind calculates
depends on the gap of time there might be between your body
falling asleep and your mind falling asleep. The greater the gap,
the greater the future projection. The best case scenario created
is you yourself, how you acted in your dream. All that is you in
the is ahead of you in time. It is ahead of you because it was
seen by parts of you that were too overworked to relax with the
rest of you. You are seeing the future of your weakest faculties.
If you were to stare at a lightbulb too long, when you closed
your eyes you would see a lightbulb. You overworked those
receptors in your eye and brain that can receive such
information. There are receptors in your brain for every
conceivable event. When they are overworked they too will project
into the darkness of your closed eyes all they were not able to
hold in the vessel of your being. They are evoking an impression
of what limped into the future. If you can remember your dream
you can remember that future. Your impression was excited by
those windows to the world to come. How you reacted to what you
saw was your best case scenario. It was the strength of your
rested self acting on your life's weakness.
When you experience de'ja vu, you see it all a second time but
unlike the person who forgot his
41
dream, you will have a good chance to make sure you're on the
right side of destiny. It's a nice trick if you can get it. If
you do, you will be a step ahead of everyone else.
Understanding dreams as sore spots that need rest is the first
step in using dreams instead of being used by them. Like the
chain reaction in mob violence, the plethora of senses we feel in
dreams can possess us. Don't let that happen to you. Share the
cosmos with them instead.
It's easier than you've ever dreamed.

" Divine Messages "
" Divine Re-turn "
Dr. Deus
+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+
Welcome once again to Divine Messages. This month's column
will be the first of three consecutive issues in which we will
expose the very simple fact of the immortality of the soul with
the world's best example...the world famous "rarissimo" oneric
spiritual phenomena of Ascensions on the Winged Horse could
indeed be, as interpreted by the Ancient Greeks, who were said
to be extremely rational in their logic thinking, as an allegory
of the soul's immortality!
From the following cases of Ascensions, we shall try firstly
attempt to determinate if the Legendary Universal Eternal
Spiritual Winged-Horse really exists, because as stated in last
month's column, in the Marduk's Victor's Myth, the whole issue of
the whole conflict, in regards to the existence or non-existence
of the Spiritual World, sways between the the existence or
non-existence of this legendary Winged-Horse, which would be,
the Spirit of the also legendary Universal Monarch... the King
of this Other World which, at times, we all get to visit in
dreams!
This is a good never-ending story installed a long long time
ago...
for the better understanding functioning of the world.
In last month's article, I indicated that we would spend 5
monthly columns exposing the testimonies of roughly 100 earthly
manifestations of this Winged-Horse, but the divine message of a
dream, again from our Dream Wonder Nutcracker, exposed lately on
the Core, suggests that we should proceed slightly
differently...
--------------- MESSAGE ed-core.v001.n060.3 ---------------
=== Dream: 'The Classroom' by Nutcracker ===
I'm in high school (as a student). I'm walking about anxiously,
trying to find my next class. I wandered into a room, but this
one has all upper classmen in it, this can't be my class. The
room is not square, but more 'L' shaped. I recognize a few faces
(one is D.R. who committed suicide shortly after graduating). I
leave through the back door and wander the halls until I find
the room I'm supposed to be in (I get there right as the last
bell has rung - signalling that you'd better be where you're
supposed to be). The teacher (I don't know if it's a history or
music class) takes me to the library. There we meet up with a
classmate and friend of mine, Gail. He instructs us to write a
paper on Hoover (Herbert Hoover, I'm assuming). He goes and
picks out some books on the subject and makes each of us choose
one. Gail picks the thinnest book (it has a red cover and is
about ten pages long). I say, "Don't they have any damn dam
books (meaning on, Hoover Dam)?" I did manage to find one in
the selection he had brought us. It was about 30 pages long and
had a worn/torn yellow jacket. I chose that book and he left us
alone to begin writing. While I'm there in the library, I keep
noticing this guy, but I can't make out (see) his face. Though
his face is visible, I can't focus on it. He's wearing blue
jeans and a dark & medium purple striped t-shirt. He has long
brown hair; straight, clean, thick and shiny. It flips up
slightly at the ends. Now the third time I glance at him, to try
and see who it is exactly, I can finally see his face clearly. He
looks like Jesus, but without the beard. His skin is clear and
smooth, translucent. He's about thirty-five to forty years old.
He's standing there, holding up a 3 foot by 4 foot sheet of
white construction paper (a sign of some sort). The sign has
three vertical rows of approximately ten dozen words on it (40
words per row); words we're supposed to know (memorize) the
meaning of. (4/2/98)
Oh! What a wonderful "Guidance Dream"... very indicative for
everyone single one of us.
I will not interpret the whole dream, but I will surely give the
main lines....
The last bell rings... and as Nutcracker says...everybody better
be where you are supposed to be... in the classroom...and pay
serious attention to the teachings.
Now, for those of you students who are not aware of the time,
nor circumstances, let me remind you that we are now at the turn
of the Age of Aquarius, a most significant and equally important
moment of earthly universal history... when someone is scheduled
for a return in order to shed, one more time, some light in this
whole world which is presently swimming in total darkness.
For your kind info, this guy has at times been called the
Water-Carrier, but I had idea that his water pot would be as
large as the the Hoover Dam...which holds in captivity plenty of
the miraculous "water of life"... as stated in Psalm 126...
"When the Lord turned again the Captivity of Zion,
we were like them that dream.
Then our mouth was filled with laughter,
and our tongue with singing;
then said among them the heathen,
The Lord hath done great things for them.
The Lord hath done great things for us;
whereof we are glad."
"Turn again our Captivity, O Lord,
as the streams in the south.
they that sow in tears shall reap in joy.
He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed,
shall doubtless come again with rejoicing,
bringing his sheaves with him."
"Turn again our Captivity, O Lord."
For those who are aware of the time, you will agree that all
faiths,
according to all world prophecies, whether hindu, muslim, magian,
buddhist, jewish, christian...and etc., all await for the return
of the Celestial Messenger or Avatar or Christos... also known
by a few as the Primordial Soul of the Universe... and to
reappear on a Spiritual Winged-Horse of Fire...and universally
speaking all of the faiths believe in this Re-Turn!!!
For a few immediate examples....
a-) The Kalki Incarnation ( Avatara)
Vishnu is yet to accomplish this incarnation. The
Kalki-Purana says that Vishnu will descend upon the earth at the
end of the present age, which is the Kali-yuga or the Age of
Darkness....and precises of what we may expect of his benevolent
intervention in our degenerating world. As the Jews await the
coming of a Messiah, the Hindus await the arrival of Kalki, who
will destroy all evil, dispel darkness, and once again usher in
the Golden Age, the Krita-yuga.
"Vishnu will appear as Kalki, riding a White Horse, with drawn
sword, blasing like a Comet. He will usher in a new era of
purity, rightness and peace.... and then return to heaven."
(extract from "Iconography of the Hindus, Buddhists and
Jains" p.34 ...and Encyclopedia of Mythology)
b-) The Expected Imam Mahdi
Some 1377 years ago, in the year 621 of the present era, the
prophet Mohammed flew on the Winged-Horse Burak, in a most famous
"Ascension" dream known as "Miraj", or "Stairway to Heaven" ....
" Mohammed had gone to rest at dusk. He slept deeply on the
carpet of his cousin, Mutem ibn Adi. Suddenly, the silence was
broken and a voice as clear as a trumpet called :
" Awake, thou sleeper, awake!" And Mohammed saw in front of him,
dazzling in darkness the shining Archangel Gabriel who was
inviting him to follow him outside. Before the door stood a Horse
as dazzling as Gabriel. It had wings, glittering wings of an
immense eagle. Gabriel presented the Horse to Mohammed, saying
that it was "Burak" the Horse of Abraham. Burak whinnied and
allowed Mohammed to vault on its back...(and in such fashion he
ascended to Heaven).... " (The Messenger, the Life of Mohammed"
by R.V.C. Bodley, Greenwood press, N.Y., 1946)
We will get to this whole story in July's column... but, still
for the time being, it has to be pointed out that this dream is
the foundation of the Islamic faith... as well as of the most
important words of the prophet...
" Now Allah has created the dream not only as a means of
guidance and instruction, I refer to the true dream, but he has
made it as a window on the World of the Unseen."
" He who does not believe in the True Dream does not believe in
Allah and in the Day of Reckoning."
" Glory be to Him, who carried his Servant by Night from the
sacred temple of Mecca to the Temple that is more remote, whose
precinct we have blessed, that we might show him of our signs,
for He is the Hearer and the Seer" (Qur'an 17,1)
" The Ascending Stairways, revealed at Mecca, in the name
of Allah, the Beneficent , the Merciful."
1. A questioner questioned about the doom to fall
2. Upon the disbelievers, which none can repel,
3. From Allah the Lord of the Ascending Stairways
4. The Angel and the Spirit ascend unto Him in a Day whereof the
span is fifty thousand years.
OK! this was for the past... but there is something also
about the Return of Mohammed...as the Imam Mahdi...and in regards
to the Resurrection of Mohammed... it is written that when
Mohammed will come again... Allah will revive the Winged-Horse
and that this Flying Horse, along with 4 or 5 Archangels, will be
charged of finding him on Earth which will be like a Waste-Land
and they will not know where he will be.
So, they say that the Light of the Resurrected Mohammed,
peace be upon him, will appear like a shaft from his grave to the
Clouds of the Sky!"
Then Isral, you know as in... "He is the Chariot of
Israel and the Horsemen thereof..." will call out...
"O Pleasing Soul! Stand up for rendering the Decree and
the Reckoning and the Presentation before the Merciful!"
So, the grave will spit open...and Gabriel will give him
a Robe of Honour...(Spiritual Ghost Body) .... and give him
"Burak" the Winged-Horse (Burak in Arab means "Thunder and
Lightening")...and will say...
"This is the Day of Rising, the Day of Ressurection, the Day of
Encounter, the Day of Burak, the Day of the Winged-Horse"!!!
And so, Burak, the Winged-Horse, who has 2 wings and flies
between heaven and earth at speed of lightning will be very
agitated and will say...
"No one rides me except the Prophet and Possessor of the
Coran!"
... to the new Incarnation of Mohammed who will reply...
"Now my heart is pleased and I am happy."
And the story says that he will be given a crown and will
ride Burak and will go to Heaven... and that a cry will be
heard...
" Raise your head, Rider of the Winged-Horse, as it is the
Day of Reckoning and of Recompense. Raise your head and ask, and
it will be given!"
"Your Lord shall give you, and you will be satisfied."
(Coran 93,5)
And furthermore, as stated in all the Universal Holy
Scriptures, this will be a universal coming...
" You will see every nation hobbling on their knees,
every nation being summoned to its (own) book-
today you shall be recompensed for what you were doing!"
(Qur'an 45,28)
.....because this is a vast universal story... beyond the grasp
of most... but, which is very simple once that we know how it
works. Surprisingly, so called primitive, but people of ancient
civilizations were able to understand this simple story with much
less examples!!!
It is quite funny to realise that in a so-called advanced
civilisation, that the vast majority is not advanced or
developped enough to grasp this constant truth!
c-) Sosiosh, the last Amesha-Spenta of the Magians
For your information, the Mazdeans are presently awaiting for
the coming of the last Amesha-Spenta, Sosiosh, who according to
the prophet Zarathustra would be supposed to come at the end of
the present millenary.....
"Sosiosh will be brought down on a white Horse in a tornado
of Fire." (extract from "The Secret Doctrine" by H.P.
Blavatsky, Vol.I, p.87
According again to their scriptures, Sosiosh, the last
Saviour, will preside at the resurrection of the dead and the
regeneration of mankind, by preparing the ambrosia which is to
render mankind immortal, just as Him.
d-) The Second Coming of the Christ...
" For the Days of the Lord are coming..... . And it shall come
to pass afterward, saith God, that I will pour out my Spirit on
all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your
old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions.
Even on my servants and handmaidens I will pour out, in those
days, my Spirit; and they shall prophesy." ( Words of the Lord
himself revealed to the prophet Jol preserved in Jol 2.28-30 in
the Old Testament.)
And we had here at ED so many wonderful dreams which indicated
that...right from the Revelation dream of Nutcracker... which
clearly announced the Coming and which does not need to be
repeated.
So, by now you must begin to understand why the Christos is
expected to reappear as a Rider on a White Horse as mentionned so
many times in Revelations, for example 19,11+....for the
testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of Prophecy.
" And I saw heaven open and behold a White Horse, and he that
sat upon him....is called Faithfull and True.... His eyes are as
a flame of fire, and on his head are many crowns... ( the
crowns of the 24 elders... the previous Riders) ; and he has a
name written that no man knows but he himself.... and his name is
called The Word of God. And the armies which are in heaven were
following riding on White Horses...dressed in fine linen white
and clean. And out of his mouth comes a sharp sword, that with he
should smite the nations. And he had on his vesture, a name
written...
" KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS "
And also you will the Rider on the White Horse ( Rev., 6, 2)
open the Seven Seals, in Revelation 6, 7 and 8... along with the
other Horses of the Apocalypse...because all the tall prophets of
the Bible, right up from Adam flew on the Holy Spirit... all of
them and we shall see that in July!!!
And, of course, as repeated so many times, this happens in
dreams as clearly stated in the Universal Holy Scriptures
everywhere. But, unfortunately, it seems that people today have
problems in understanding what they read and most unfortunately
believe that dreams are the fruits of their fertile supra-normal
imagination... when dreams are to the contrary God given and
inspired... so that you don't end up, as all greedy unfaithful,
finally fall in the bottomless pit at the moment of the death of
your ephemerous mortal body!
Eventhough many total modern idiots and fools claim the
contrary, it has been well established that God's speaks in
dreams... and that is the way that it works...for your guidance
and instruction...so that you may be allowed to eternal life
after death...
" In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep
falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed; then he openeth
the ears of men, and sealeth their instructions."(words of Elihu,
in Job 33.15.....Holy Land, sometimes B.C.)
... and this works the same for everybody including the Messiah
himself...
" And He said, " Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among
you, I , the Lord, will make Myself known to him in a vision, and
will speak unto him in a dream."
(Words of the Lord of the Universe, Himself... revealed to
Moses, Aaron and Miriam.... and preserved in Numbers 12.6)
... and this spiritual "oneiric" heritage tradition has been
going on for thousands of years...as related in many examples...
preserved for your your little confused and unfaithful little
miserable minds to understand...as in the above mentionned case
of Mohammed... or of Marduk or Bellerophon, respectively from the
Assyro-Babylonian and Greco-Roman Mythologies...
...Marduk, the Sovereign of the Universe...
" But the son (Marduk) has dreamt that his Father appeared to
him, like "a man having a Sun for his head," and in the dream he
rode the Sun Steed of his Future that his Father gave him.
Already this horse named "Herzorn", which "has the wind in his
belly" and "snuffs the Sun", stands in the stable and gladden's
the boy's heart."
Well, I know for a fact that this Horse exists... because I rode
on it in a dream, just like Marduk, Mohammed and Bellerophon...
which also did the same in dreams... this is all written.
Anyways, they say, that Marduk... began to understand...
"Perhaps the life we live is also the life of the Gods?!"
But, he was brought up being told that he could not.... "live
by the bread that is baked in dreams."
And he replies..."You bed-wetter, my father's dreams would have
shown me
my heritage, without my father's example.The body does
not help it must cleave to the Spirit."
(OHC by Neumann, p.165 to 167)
...Bellerophon, a weird personnage, who flew on the Winged
-Horse in a dream and subsequently killed the
Chimera.....Apparently, question of apparitions, Athena appeared
to Bellerophon IN A DREAM, .... THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT
STATEMENT..... and gave him a gold bridle thanks to which he was
able to tame the Horse Pegasus.
(***Encyclopedia of Mythology, english v., p.108 , french v., p.
102.***)
And this, my dear students, that is the beauty of the Messianic
Law of Rebirth...
"Adam...his soul transmigrated into David...and his soul
transmigrated into the Messiah!" (The Talmud)
... and this Law is so simple... because it is a constant which
has never changed and will never change... so that you may have
total faith in it!!!
Therefore, once again, the Rider of the winged-Horse is an
immortal... not in the flesh of course... but spiritually... and
gets to reembody in time... all the time.
Now, I flew on the Winged-Horse in a dream, and I claim for your
own benefit to be that guy, and consequently, as Jesus indicates
with his smashing divine "3 X 4", I should tell in three
consecutive colums who the Winged-Horse's Rider was in 120
lives!!!
Have you ever met another living person who can tell who he was
in so many lives? I guess not. Many of you claim that Heaven and
Hell don't exist... because your favourite excuse is..." No one
ever came back to tell!" ... well don't be fooled because I did
it over 100 times... and if this is not sufficient for you to be
able to understand and recognise this fact...I feel truly sorry
for you.
Without waiting much longer, we shall now slowly begin, starting
a very long time ago and proceed through time...in all the good
faiths of the world...and we shall listen to the truthful
testimonies of 120 different Winged-Horse Riders who all flew on
the same eternal Winged-Horse since the dawn of history... which
was written with a purpose.
Then, I will ask you to tell me if you believe that the
Winged-Horse exists or doesn't? However, if you say that exists
you will be forced to recognise by the same way that the
Spiritual World also exists...
On another hand, if some prefer to insist that it doesn't
exist... then, we will discuss about the sad doom which will
await you at the moment of death ...later.
OK! Now, try to hold on to your hat because, Ascensions are
Apocalypses, or Voyages in the Other World and these pure
allegories of the immortality of the soul are slightly wild
rides, but don't worry nor be frightened the least, because the
Winged-Horse is very friendly being, known is a few places as the
Holy Spirit...
Again for your kind info, this Horse does not belong to any
culture or religion in particular.....it is Free.....a Free
Spiritual Being, which comes from the parallel Spiritual World to
reveal a few things... and hopefully you will come to recognise
that this Glorious Spiritual Winged-Horse is indeed the Creator,
in his Eternal Form!
"I try to recognise in you , Sage, the Holy Spirit, the
Creator of all things."
( Yasna 44,6-7)
Therefore, I recommend that you look at the Winged-Horse story
from a purely scientific point of view... and consequently, with
no barriers, whatsoever, whether sociological, physical, nor
religious... because the point to be made is simply a basic and
very simple recognition of a rare universal phenomenom... and
let's see if you can, in both intelligence and faith... recognise
anything...and may God bless you with a bit of intelligence for
your own "everlasting" sake... if you wish to prolong your mortal
days beyond death!
And finally, ...here we go, and may the knowledge of God save
your soul... and good luck!

stress, plus symtoms, side effects, etc. ?
Any information would be greatly appreciated.

OK, you are probably looking for something like this:
Guy back from Vietnam and has reoccurring dreams of horrid death,
wakes up with pounding heart, sweat, and near suffocating
breath....
But here's my entry:
Note (a): I'm not really sure that you mean *dream* disorder. You
probably mean a character disorder or waking life stressor
situation that is played out in some fashion in a dream that
character will have and experience as a nightmare. In other
words, a dream that either is itself disturbing (to the dreamer
or audience) or is disturbing to the dreamer upon awakening and
recalling. Note (b): I recommend that you find the dreams for the
character via your own dreaming. Dream Incubation: Before going
to bed, read over all you know about the character's life and go
over how the character does things. Fantasize about the
character. Then set a conscious intention that you will have a
dream about this character, or a dream about the character's
dream. Upon awakening, write everything down. Do this for at
least a week. You will have some great material this way.
Some suggestions
I would suggest that the dream(s) reflect the overall message or
point of the movie:
if the point of the movie is
1. To be a "thriller", then the dream needs to be thrilling. What
makes dreams scary? It is almost always that they are mistaken
for reality. This is easy for the film producers to portray for
the *dreamer* but more difficult to be thrilling for the
audience, who see it as "just a dream" and don't worry or fret
over it. 'Nightmare on Elm Street" overcame this by mixing dream
and reality, and getting the viewer to believe that what
happened in the dream would greatly effect the waking dreamer.
Real - Life Variations of this include what are usually called
Night Terrors, where the left-over into waking reality includes
heart-beating, sweating, gasping for breath - basic panic attack
stuff. Another trick is to have some occult like figure or past
ghost like figure enter into the dream and have some control.
Other scary thing are taboo areas. This is more difficult (in
drawing in a large audience) because one man's taboo is
another's daily routine. The horror of being perused by what one
fears most is usually handled best in films by not ever showing
the pursuer, as we all learned in the first 'Alien' movie. But
there are many other kinds of taboos. I liked the dream
nightmares in '100 monkeys' where bodies did things gross and
unexpected. Philip K Dick used to write a lot of his science
fiction towards this kind of horror. We start with the normal,
but slowly the walls, ceiling, and eventually floor (figuratively
speaking) all begging to become less stable and dissolve away.
Playing with values is the key here, and then slowly producing
paranoia about the stability of reality. My feeling is that
taboo areas are not really areas, but what is outside of area.
We like to feel safe and talk about taboo areas, sex, violence,
inevitabilities, desire, ect. but the really frightening scenes
are when the boundaries between these areas collide.
Generally, dream and reality should be mixed. At first things
show up in dreams that are in the character's life. Later things
show up in life that were in the dream. Eventually there is
breaking down between the borders of waking and dreaming
reality. If there are rules the audience can follow, they will be
able to participate in this reality testing the character will
have to go through. It was an intense moment in 'Total Recall'
when Arnold had to decide what was real and what was simulation
of reality.
Speaking of choices...
if the point of the movie is
2. A moral play, then the producers/writers need to decide the
role of the dream. Is the dream going to be a *reflection* of
the character's struggle to live up to a particular value or
find a way between conflicting values, or something else? What
else? Well, if you take a Jungian stance, the dream is trying to
find higher ground. It produces symbols, images, that resolve the
character's problem on an imagistic level not comprehendible by
the character at the time. PLEASE, don't make dream symbols the
audience understands but the character doesn't. This is a cheap
trick that undermines the point. The Point, (for Jung) was that
we are on a trip of becoming ourselves, uniquely ourselves,
individualized from the crowd. This means the character knows
something about themselves and other parts are a mystery. But a
REAL mystery. If you know more about me than me, it's not really
*my* individuation. It needs to be a mystery beyond what - at
this time in the plot - ANYONE can know. The dream attempts to
deal with this (from a Jungian viewpoint) by playing with the
tensions and holding them apart in various ways, allowing for a
spontaneous occurrence to emerge between them. I want to live
forever, but I can't. I want to love you but I'm married. I
don't want to love you but I do. If I pay Peter, I must rob Paul,
ect, ect. Irreconcilable opposites. There is a tension between
these two poles. If i try to resolve them with the ego strengths
I have at the moment, pushing into or through the problem in the
same old ways I always do, then I will collapse the poles and
will either stay the same person I am or regress to an even
earlier version of myself. If I can stay aware of the problem
long enough, consciously hold the poles apart, then there is a
chance that something evolved and new can happen, a synthesis on
a new level. (Yes, Jung was very Hegelian, I feel). The dream
symbol functions to hold this un-expressible truth or position
for us. Jung even felt there was a general process and progress
one could follow towards this truth becoming manifest in our
life. First we accept our own solutions and same old paths
aren't working. Then we dialogue or dance with the devil, or
that part of ourselves we would rather die than admit to being,
the personal shadow we see as a morally inferior way of being,
and it gives us the creeps or bugs us when we are around someone
like that. Some can't handle it when they learn they contain
dark elements and move back into denial and moral certain-tude
that goes no-where. Other's find such a relief in the evil other
that they identify and become more fully this shadow, hence
abused children who themselves become abusers. The answer on how
to move down that middle path is for the Jungian maintaining the
tension long enough for something unexpected to happen. It can't
be a simple deus-ex-machina that could have happened at any
time, or until the character learned some moral lesson (ick,
yuck) , it must be something that comes from the conflict
itself. The Shadow is often referred to as a Trickster. He robs
us of something visible, but returns to us something invisible.
Jung often saw the Shadow in people's dreams as the same sex as
the dreamer, but he may be even less or more evolved as an
animal or monster. We never fully resolve the issue of the
Shadow. At some point there is in our depths a shadow that is
larger than us, a collective shadow, (something like nuclear
stockpiling) that can only be handled by the group. I suspect we
all have these kinds of dreams, but they would be more
appropriate for a character destined to play a major role, like
Gandhi or Roosevelt or Clin... well, maybe not all leaders...
As we begin to draw new energy from this Shadow dialogue, a new
and even tougher gate appears, the Animus/Anima. The first was
getting past what we didn't like. Now we have to get past what
we desire most. This (or they) usually appears in dreams as the
contra-sexual other, but for gays may not. Perhaps the
Most-Desired Other is completely non human for some. The point is
that this beautiful other is very hard to resist. But mating is
death. Or at least, it collapses the opposites again and the
character remains the same or regresses. And again, there is no
specific resolution to the problem that fits everyone.
Mythically we have the story of nymphs and sirens drowning men
who head there calls. Odysseus spent years and years with one on
an island. All the possessions, intoxications, enchantments,
fascinations, wild longings, and affairs of desire and love are
seen are part of this path. And again, we can deal with these
tensions by going for it, for denying it or other distractions,
or we can come into relationship with it in a way that is
mutually beneficial. The particular path is again very
individual, but some generalities are often made. For Jung,
differentiation was important. Instead of accepting this huge
thing that overwhelms us, we begin to peel off layer by layer.
The path may be quite different for men and women as well.
There is a Babylonian Myth of a woman who descends into the
underworld, and at each level she must take off one item of
clothing until she stands naked before the dark witch that
called her. This seems to be the path of psyche for the Jungians
as well, the exploring of the down and in. A man might begin to
learn the difference between the inner mother and the inner
anima woman. As children we want to fall into their embrace, but
as adults we can learn that the falling is different for each.
The mother aside, we learn there are different anima women. Each
plays out a different role, usually a sexually stereotyped gender
role at first - sexual partner, wife, sister, friend's wife, etc.
Later, (for men in the Jungian system), this anima who leads the
man away from himself into deep waters begins to lead him away
from himself into higher ground. In other words, she becomes the
guide or psychopomp that lead the person to themselves. Breaking
down the earlier barriers of inner and outer, this partner will
be in waking life as well as dream life.
Many movies are about this and end here. Miss-guided fellow works
his way through his personal hell, meets girl (of his dreams?)
and goes off into the sunset. These movies miss the point for
me. They are sweet and fun and entertaining. They keep me right
where I am, and validate the same old story, over an over. What
is needed is to keep the couple apart long enough for something
very special to occur. Let them have all the sex they want, the
real issue of apart- ness at this point can be worked out with a
real life partner, but not ever fully solved. If the couple
cannot hold each other's essential loneliness, then nothing new
will occur. If I find it all in you and you in me, the show is
over. Sulley and Muldar in the X-Files are attempts to do this,
(hold each others loneliness) but other media problems exist in
that prevent a really significant staging of this issue. As we
begin to share the problems that are larger than we are, we find
others with similar but different struggles with inevitability.
A really moral play will find a way to help me be more of who I
am, not long more for someone that can only bring me to
normalicy and sameness.
Finally, the Self. In the New Age, we have almost turned the
encounter with the Self into a cliche, a crystaline encounter
with UFO's from a Hot Tub. Encounters with the Self become whole
movies in and of themselves. But again, its like the movie where
the dreamer doesn't know its a dream, but we do. We, as audience,
are rarely effected regardless of the transformative effect on
the character. Jung's view of the Self held that is was always
seen as a defeat for the ego. Now if we are in a film and
identified with the character - any defeat is not going to sit
well with the audience. Maybe that's why only bad guys change in
movies, but good guys just stay the same. Jung had a dream once
of a man sitting in a little room in a peaceful lotus position,
sleeping. He knew that when the man woke up, Jung would be gone,
that Jung was just a dream of his. It may be that's as close as
we can really get in a movie, close to the edge of decision, but
not over. Its just too personal. I feel I overstated the issue of
the ego's defeat. In an encounter with the Self, the ego is
really not defeated but valorized and honored for who and what
it is. Its just that we are no longer just that ego, but
something new. Some people again go to far, and try to become
the Self they encounter in one leap. This leads to the nutty
inflated ego we see so much of in the New Age. I am god. I am
god... Oh my gosh, I am god.... Again, for Jung, this collapses
the tension of the poles and creates disaster. The question of
how the small and mortal can come into relationship with the
larger than real pops up again from the work with the
anima/animus. To the degree we attempt to reconcile all the
differences ourselves, is the degree to which we rob ourselves
of the real experience. If we have learned when to put up our
sails and when to take them down, the winds of the Larger-than-
Life can carry us far. Jungians often report abstract dreams,
mandala like circles, flaming visions of light and other such
events in dreams for close encounters. Moses in the film The Ten
Commandments is a good model for this kind of encounter on a
large scale. He comes back from the mountain with something
useful, though the encounter has blasted his hair white. Good
Will Hunting' may provide more down to earth encounters. Will
has an incredible math talent that comes to him as if he were a
god, but has some character disorders. Will's first professor
encounters him but want to be him, and thus the relationship
fails. He can't relate personally, he wants to be a god too.
Robin Williams plays Will's psychotherapist, and Williams
realizes that his own transformation must take place to help
Will. He has to relate to Will with his whole self, even though
he will never be the mathematical genius that Will is. Now in
the movie, this isn't too big a problem as Williams doesn't
himself have any interest in being a mathematician. but it still
serves as an example. The Self will continue to appear to us as
something always a little dreadful. Usually the words used by
Jungians are numinous, awe inspiring. Something like what one
must feel before getting tossed into a volcano as a sacrifice.
3. If the point of the movie is a comedy
Then you may want to view the dream as Freud did. People are
pretty sophisticated about this, or think they are and lots of
humor is available. Here the dream serves to protect sleep.
Disturbances can be handled by fantasy. Whether its the need to
urinate, a sound from outside or a disturbing thought, feeling,
fear or memory, they must all follow the same path. The dream
must let off a little of the steam, but not too much. Freud felt
that the disturbances must get out somehow. But they must not be
recognized by the dreamer if they are taboo or repressed
subject. And so the dreamwork takes place. The Truth is switched
by displacement to something else, it is projected back to the
source from which it came, it is denied by the dreamer as
existing at all, it is symbolized abstractly and in misleadings
ways, it is pictorialized in puns (I can = a can of soup?),
diversions lead the dream consciousness away from the thing
itself, several know people may be condensed into one and all
sorts of voices say things like, "its not really important
anyway" "Just forget about it", "its just a dream" , "so what?".
.
4. If the point of the movie is artsy - existential
Then we might draw upon modern psychoanalytic thought, such as
the French Renegade, Lacan. Jacques Lacan felt that we chase
desire continually. But what we desire can't be had, it simple
just doesn't exist. None the less, we think and feel it does and
move towards it, buying more, drinking more, doing it all to get
it. Thus we suffer. In dreams, they would end every time we are
about to get it. The rest of the dream would be about trying to
get it - finding home, losing pursuers, getting rich, having
sex, whatever - when we finally get it, we go unconscious, the
dream ends. There is a kind of hole in the center of the
universe around which everything points and we think there is a
thing there (Lacan says a Phallus, in a literary kind of way).
There is no way out, but there are alternatives to trying to
fill our emptiness unconsciously. We learn to separate desire
from appetite first. We can satisfy appetite, but desire must be
held, or held off. Thus the lover learns to hold off his or her
orgasm and to play with the bodies desire as long as possible.
We sacrifice the thing itself to get everything else. Albert
Camus came to much the same conclusion. Richard

<<<<<< THE OPPOSITES-A JOURNEY OF THE SOUL
By Jana Hutchinson
http://www.jps.net/opposite/
Janahut@aol.com
THE OPPOSITES is a book of dream inspired music illustrated by
dream inspired art; art and music with heart and soul for the new
millennium, seeking to "the opposites" with their conflicts and
resolutions that lead to a growth in consciousness. Dreams and
visions are traditionally a source from which people have
received spiritual nourishment and guidance. This art is about
the grand adventure of the growth in consciousness. The love
songs speak of wisdom. Themes are of the future and from the
beginning of time. They draw from mythology, alchemy, and both
eastern and western spirituality. Some of the substances of the
opposites are spirit and instinct, heaven and earth, spirit and
matter, masculine and feminine. Symbols of initiation, rebirth,
sacred marriage and the healing of Mother Earth are some of the
themes of this work. It is written from the feminine spirit and
the artist's own healing journey but it speaks to a cultural
healing as well. The artist draws from a spirituality which
emphasizes the continual observation of psychic imagery. Some of
the songs might be called psalms or meditations and they are
presented in lively, soulful music.
