   From: dicksilk@gmail.com   
      
   A number of dreams to "catch up on" over the past week:   
      
   A few nights ago, the dreamer was "in the home of" someone similar to Gina's   
   parents.  (They were divorced IRL in the summer of '81, and he died a few   
   years ago.)  The dreamer seemed interested in some form of written material in   
   the home, possibly there    
   to retrieve something of "his," or possibly something of "hers," but this was   
   a few nights ago, and even then, the dream was not too clear / memorable, like   
   in the 8- to 6+ range.  There was some type of "after feeling" to the effect   
   of wondering why the    
   dreamer had not shown more interest in Gina at that time (something that   
   perplexes me to this day.)   
      
   Tuesday night / Wednesday morning, the dreamer entered a room which seemed   
   plain on the outside (in the hallway, perhaps?) but on the inside had an   
   unusual set of colors, possibly described as on the pastel-neon side of green   
   and purple, as if someone    
   had a dimly lit room (somewhat *luminous* dingy-gray-white walls) where two   
   different colors of paint had been tried out.  The colors were rather   
   memorable, despite their unusual hues.  Clarity 8+(+).   
      
   Last night, as well as perhaps on another night as well, the dreamer had the   
   distinct experience of opening a door, as if a door had been shut for some   
   time, and upon exiting the room through the now-open door, the people on the   
   outside were somewhat (   
   barely) startled that someone had come *out* of the room.  (And no, these   
   rooms were not "closets" but more like just rooms that had been closed for so   
   long they'd been forgotten about.)   
      
   The frequency of those dream events has put me in mind of something Jesus once   
   said to Simon (Peter) in Matthew 16:15-19, specifically verse 19, wherein   
   Jesus tells Peter: "I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven.   
   Whatever you bind on earth    
   will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in   
   heaven." ([As below, so above] whereas Jesus Himself teaches the structure of   
   [as above, so below] such as in the Lord's Prayer.)   
      
   Now to "pop in" just a moment to my "real life" "in the present time" "of   
   late" I've been spending nearly every day on DiscussingJesus.Quora.com and   
   answering questions (leaving copies on my profile, quora.com/pro   
   ile/Richard-Carl-Silk) with a particular    
   emphasis on "Love thine enemies" from Matthew 5:44.   
      
   It turns out that [1❤️0] is the key to unlocking the *entirety* of the   
   message of the Bible, but "that's a LONG story" and I'm just "journaling the   
   journey" in this forum, so to speak.  As it turns out, 1❤️0 is the essence   
   of "Unity" as well, as    
   Unity *includes* duality; duality *excludes* Unity.   
      
   (Think of a donut:   
   —The donut *includes* the hole; the hole *excludes* the donut.   
   —1 *includes* 0; 0 *excludes* 1 (Everything includes nothing; nothing   
   excludes Everything.)   
   —Life includes death; death excludes Life.   
   —Lovers love haters; haters hate lovers.   
   The analogies are as endless as π, the ratio of the circumference of a circle   
   divided by the diameter:   
   —The circumference includes the diameter; the diameter excludes the   
   circumference.  Etc.)   
      
   So this morning, I was thinking, this Unity/duality precept applies to just   
   about *every* major school of thought or science:   
   —Reality includes fantasy; fantasy excludes reality.   
   —Knowledge includes the unknown; the unknown excludes knowledge.   
      
   At any rate, in this one dream from early this morning, the dreamer was   
   walking along a corridor as if in a college department, after having just   
   walked out of a room (as if the door had just *opened*, thus catching a few   
   folk by surprise.)  The dreamer    
   was carrying a STACK of notebooks, documents, folders, studies, etc., that was   
   from about as low as the dreamer could reach to probably just below eye level   
   (and I'm over 6' tall in real life... or was, in my prime, nearly 6'2".)   
      
   The load wasn't *that* heavy, although it certainly was "voluminous."  It had   
   the feel of a graduate student working on a doctor's thesis, walking through a   
   department (such as either science, math, or philosophy) and all the faculty   
   and staff were    
   simply looking (gawking?) at the dreamer (and the material) *almost* as if   
   mystified or stupefied.  Clarity 10-.
