I’m not sure my journey through the dream space is one completely controlled by my unconscious at times – but for reasons of safety, there is no comfort in writing off the cause of my journey on simplistic conscious imagination. This would only constitute vanity on my part. Most of my writings have delved into the reasons the subconscious/unconscious mind is not the main architect or creator of the vast media played out during the nocturnal rest period necessary for my conscious self. When we remove “I" from the equation (or the No-I) and obliterate the vainglorious misconception that our conscious mind is in charge of the random, sometimes chaotic and completely frustrating world that awaits us nightly – we can then begin to listen and accept the metaphorical imagery and language being utilized by our internal “controllers" in hopes we can begin to decipher the entirety of the messages we receive based on the kaleidoscopic tower of riddles and clues we can barely perceive.
Our own life-force is a step (maybe several) above this mortal representation we deal with daily. The conscious associated with our mortality has enough to deal with when it comes to our daily associations, hang-ups, fears, and potential for success as well as defeats. Based on what we THINK we know; the dream world might be a mockery or mimic-like ability of the mind that is attempting to create its own reality by borrowing what it needs from our conscious functionality. Dreams would be even more a garbled mess if the imagery were not consistent with our daily life to some degree. (Familiarity keeps us interested in the dream) Not all dreams can sooth and relax our mental activity – sometimes they mirror our present situations or bring light to darker emotions we strive to push beyond the curtain or throw into the closet to be dealt with...never. Emotional imbalance may be a key component or fuel for the engine inside our mind that sparks dreams after we have reached the tipping point or overload of the reality we can't handle. Gradually these imbalanced thoughts manifest into our consciousness as other forms of mental instability. If this would be the case then it would be safe to say that dreaming, while confusing and sometimes scary is rather cathartic, allowing our minds to siphon off these imbalances or instability, thus preventing these difficult thoughts from creeping into our conscious from the subconscious or unconscious – when the other side can't cope.
There may be an unknown component, an alliance of sorts that functions without our knowledge. Symbiotic at the very least, this duality or triumvirate experience happens behind the scenes – a spiritual confluence of modalities balanced by the rhythm of our vibratory existence. Just as the sheath of a nerve can wear away or become damaged by injury – this spirit-sense becomes worn away, causing an imbalance that can upend the very nature of our being. The physical body was not meant to carry this burden forever. If previous incarnations of man had greater longevity, the ability must have been removed because of abuse and misuse. I believe the physical clock was shortened for eternity because of this.
Why then should our conscious mind become involved in the dream world at all? This silent partnership might rely on the frequent exchange of mentality from both parts – cross-engagement (one into the other) a literal self-check mode for the psyche. Both parties being imaginative or possessing the ability to create ideas in their own respective realities. But is our mental doppelganger our true self? We might be surprised if there was another layer or dimension where the conductors orchestrate our position in the universe based on the path we agreed upon at the beginning – concurrently satisfying the covenant drawn up by the metaphysical architect of all realities.
The fact remains however, the human mind is helpless in the attempt to condense the spiritual essence into a line of thought relative to a humanistic understanding – we cannot solve the unsolvable. We should step back and marvel in awe at the beauty, complexity, horror, and the simplicity of the master plan because not only does it involve the visible and knowable, but the invisible and unknowable as well. Even if we have breached the boundaries of the atomic world and are closer to understanding a path to the quantum reality, there still might be several levels of hidden truth we might never reach. Can that be what we’re missing...THE TRUTH?
Even the concept of what is true and untrue becomes mired by too much thought. In the end, we are faced with the reality and unreality of participating in the dreams of sleep and of consciousness.
