Perhaps the Dream is Dreaming Us

Reality is not a fixed domain of transient players but a creative outburst of intersecting eternal consciousness across an endless interconnected sea of infinite dimensionality. The vast majority of us still operate under the provably false premise that the illusion we call reality is stable, measurable, beyond our influence, and predictable. Few have awakened to the true dreamlike nature of reality, realizing that we are all just players in each other's dreams. Like reflections in a mirror, we are all interconnected aspects of each other’s being. To recognize the dreamlike nature of our situation is to recognize that we don’t exist as isolated entities separate from the universe, but rather, as relational beings who exist relative to each other. We are all related, parts of a greater whole, the living multifaceted expression of a singular divine being.

That which we imagine we are is only an un-reflected-upon and assumed model of who we are and is not who we really are, but is itself being dreamed by a deeper part of ourselves. There is a deeper dreaming Self beyond our imagination which is dreaming us. That is who we truly are, simultaneously the dream and the dreamer, not solely this vestment of skin and hair and bones that we imagine is the extent of our being. Reality consists of one great deeper, dreaming Self having a dream, which we find ourselves in.

Waking up to our identity with the deeper, dreaming Self, we snap out of the self-perpetuating, egoistic delusion that we exist in a way in which we simply, in reality, do not. The question then becomes: how do we best serve who we have now discovered ourselves to be? How does the deeper, dreaming Self which is dreaming us want us to dream itself into incarnation? How does the dream itself want to unfold through us?

Recognizing our dreamlike nature is the very act which empowers us to become in-sync lucid dreamers who can change the world. To quote an indigenous elder, one who is fluent in the dreamtime, “There’s a dream dreaming us, and we must get back to that dream, and the vision, the power, and the energies at the disposal of man’s dreaming self will help us to win the battle.”
