For a few minutes between deep and eventful dreaming and full awaken-ness, I discovered myriads of fragments of old dreams, vivid but partial scenes! They were extracts from dreams over scores of years! Reflecting on these, I had several insights: (1) Mind permeates multiple realities, and ordinary consciousness just skims the surface; (2) we live in a truly multidimensional realm, but by far most people live on the surface\u2014not appreciating their own depths much less the deep beyond-realities of others. I only glimpse and consider that my experience is limited.<\/p>\n
We try to record the complexity of the collective \u201chistory,\u201d but we live so many lives, and there are so many histories (and biographies\u2014which are types of history). Most of my own history would be terribly boring as not only is much pedestrian and boring to outsiders, but my story is so very multifaceted! Most people would be uninterested in aspects of the cosmos that interest me\u2014and these are plentiful.<\/p>\n
But this awareness of the semi-vividness of scenes\u2014just bits of scenes\u2014in long past dreams is awe-inspiring! Might it mean that mind is more fundamental than matter and capable of transcending time and space? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
