Interpret Dreams, Interpret Our Lives.
When it comes to dreams I more and more these days consider them a kind of inverse of our waking lives. In our dreams I suspect that they are about emotions, all about emotions, and the details are more or less irrelevant.
Hence we work hard to interpret the details, which on this side of the abyss seem so important. We kid ourselves perhaps that we live in houses and wear clothes but those are chemical events. Around the water cooler we talk about the stories, and our attachment to those stories I suspect may be the stuff of emotions. In dreams the emotions are never symbols, but the details are hard to figure out. In this ‘life’ the details are easy because they fit. My house always has the same door for instance.
In this life though, the emotions need work, and we spend time learning which emotions came from which stories. Could that be an inverse of how we analyze dream details as symbols, versus how we analyze waking emotions for their origin and meaning?
It’s an interesting thought to me, and reminds me of Larsonian physics.
