Of course, and as I'm sure you know, its infinitely easier to interpret someone else's dream. You know, that whole honesty thing and all :) <br /><br />Like you, I've been interested in dreaming for years. In the early going, I gave up on interpretation since it seemed like any dream could be interpreted in so many ways that I found it nearly impossible. <br /><br />What I have since discovered is that non-duality is like a master key. Once you get the hang of it, when you view dreams through a non-dual light they often nearly interpret themselves. Of course, that honesty thing is still very much operative!<br /><br />Regards<br />DanDanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13881618558525216241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-835218475794207821.post-39012118784218579412010-08-21T11:28:46.192-05:002010-08-21T11:28:46.192-05:00WOW! Dan, what amazing and clear insight you have!...WOW! Dan, what amazing and clear insight you have! Impressive! Not only did you interpret but you also showed its relationship to the non dual. <br /><br />I did a number of years of work in Gestalt groups. I did almost exclusively dream work because I didn't trust my intellect AT ALL. <br /><br />I recorded my dreams every morning, and then took them to group. What came out of those dreams changed my life. <br /><br />When I say wow! It comes from some pretty heavy experience. So thank you for your input. Much appreciated.Maury Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15069923174216911346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-835218475794207821.post-85925601737318636642010-08-21T10:36:39.611-05:002010-08-21T10:36:39.611-05:00In dreams, the police, hooligans, mobsters, and ch...In dreams, the police, hooligans, mobsters, and characters who are disapproving of your actions most often symbolize ego-mind. Often they are chasing you or in judgement of you in some way. <br /><br />There may be parts of the dream you left out for public consumption, but based on what is here;<br /><br />-Notice, first, there is no "reason" for the arrest. That is to say, it is unnecessary.<br /><br />-You are not in prison, merely "arrested". The situation with your son is merely hindering you, it doesn't have you locked down.<br /><br />-If the dream is about attachment, notice you are both handcuffed separately, but together in the back of the cruiser.<br /><br />-"I could not defend myself as the paradigm I was in, would not be understood by the police." Ego-mind does not like this business of understanding your true nature because it is always fearful of annihilation, fearful of not being in charge. Thus, you recognize that it would not understand.<br /><br />-You are not "angry" with your son, because you know this has nothing to do with your son per se. Anger is usually the result of unfulfilled expectations. Perhaps the dream is suggesting there are no expectations you have of your son (which is wonderful), except: <br /><br />-"there was some sense that my son was the cause". Perhaps this is the nut of it. If you view the situation such that your son is the cause, that your son is what has you arrested, you will be forever stuck, since you have assigned the reason for your "stuckness" to be outside of you.<br /><br />"Except for this attachment, I would be free." I have my own son, so I know the charge that can surround the relationship and the difficulties of attachment. But you are already free, your son is already free. Being arrested together is unnecessary. As Jesus said, "I and my Father are One". There is no room for attachment in either direction. The only handcuffs come from not seeing/being this.<br /><br /><br />DanDanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13881618558525216241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-835218475794207821.post-51930078958845982932010-08-13T00:30:28.997-05:002010-08-13T00:30:28.997-05:00This dream is also because you feel that somehow, ...This dream is also because you feel that somehow, you're responsible for whatever he is doing with his life. Maybe you feel that you're answerable to the world or to God for his acts. <br /><br />Atleast, that's what my interpretation of the dream says.Amna Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15183437113821676007noreply@blogger.com
