so I had a dream last night which I can offer as an example of my 'dream self' keeping me honest.
first of all, some context to show how I process things.
I had had a busy day yesterday prior to going in to work (I work nights as many of you know). I had cleared a couple of blockages through changed understandings that day, and during my shift, I became aware of another catalyst that I also worked on mentally as I was doing my work. I managed to understand (and resolve that). So a productive day! but towards the end of the shift, in the last couple of hours, there was a phase for about half an hour where I didn't feel so great, and lost some mental focus. My mind was wandering a bit, not the usual sharp attention that I usually have. I, of course, knew something was up, but after about thirty minutes of this uneasiness that I couldn't identify, it abated, and things sort of slipped back to normal. The shift finished, I went home, did my groceries, and enjoyed the rest of the morning relatively hassle free. But I had not addressed that thirty minute window of changed consciousness.
I thought nothing of it. I had already done a lot of personal work that day. I didn't revisit the thoughts to try and figure out what was up.
so I went to bed.
Lo, and behold, my dream self told me I hadn't finished what I had been given for that day!!
my dream was this:
there was a whole lot of incidental stuff that I can't recall right now, but the centerpiece was this:
there was this guy with a guitar (it had five strings unusually), and he was tuning it. The first string was ok. No problems there. The second one, no such luck. He would 'tune it', and then play it, but it would sound 'off'. It wasn't even a matter of pitch. It would sound too soft or too loud in comparison to the first string. He did this maybe 5 or 6 times, and I was there observing him as he went through this process. The dream then ended.
- -
so this was a pretty clear dream imagery that there was a second chakra misunderstanding/mis-tuning (orange ray). I got straight onto the task and tried to recall as many details of that ''thirty minute window' the previous day that I had not addressed. Lo and behold, I identified the mis-understanding, and put in place the more unified statement (what it is is not important, it is more the process here that I am trying to illustrate).
so yeah, this was my dream self letting me know - hey, any perturbations from clear, peace-of-mind consciousness have a causation, and all causations require addressing, even if the catalyst only appears for a small window (in this case 30 minutes). I guess I had thought I had done plenty already that day, and was just coasting the rest of the day, but the work of balancing and self-clearing never ceases. If catalyst appears, it is chosen by the self for a reason, and is asking you politely for some attention. (catalyst is any perturbation from clear peace of mind, any emotion distorted away from total love for self and others).
but yeah, through this process of daily working with one's catalyst, clearer understandings concerning the self accumulate one-by-one. And one's lived life becomes a testament to what we have understood (and not understood).
thank you dream self! you are most spectacularly awesome
