   I've noticed as a type of dream phenomenon: Reality Conforms to Thought (even

   (of cleaning the kitchen) conforms to your thought, the *other* thought (of   
   making a sandwich) "   
   conformed to reality" and *sank* beneath the waves of consciousness. ("When   
   thought conforms to reality, thoughts turn to stone and sink beneath the waves   
   of consciousness." When Reality Conforms to Thought, people fly in airplanes   
   and land on the moon    
   and come home safely, etc. ("The sky's the limit" / "Reach for the stars" as   
   they say.)

   That's a point of balance (peace) although people rarely remain at that point,   
   thus continue to move on (to find the next point of peace.)   
      
   So picking a "guiding thought" is something I was spending *most* of my youth   
   looking for.  I finally figured out that, the "stuff" my parents had been   
   raising me on (in my youth) was "correct/right" all along!   
      
   I found that "guiding thought" in Matthew 5:445:44— “Love the enemies of   
   you” aka “Love thine enemies”   
   (in Arabic: [[.واما انا فاقول لكم احبوا اعداءكم.   
   باركوا لاعنيكم. احسنوا الى مبغضيكم]] apologies if   
   I got any of that misquoted— right-to-left text in the world of   
   left-to-right HTML is ¡*...*!))   
   aka 1❤️0 aka “Oneness,” “Wholeness,” “Unity" (see:   
   discussingjesus.quora.com/https-www-quora-com-What-are-some-intr   
   ductory-critical-thinking-short-notes-answer-Richard-Carl-Silk )” aka   
   “Salvation,”   
   just as Key❤️lock, just as Seed❤️earth,   
   Husband❤️wife, Parents❤️children,   
   Family❤️culture, Culture❤️society,   
   Society❤️nation, Nation❤️world,   
   World❤️God, thus God❤️World, aka John 3:16–17.

   In other words, if someone is to "live a dream," then by what guide does one   
   dream?   
      
   Jesus teaches (as recorded in Matthew 24:4)—   
   Βλέπετε μή τις ὑμᾶς πλανήσῃ   
   [Blepete] [mē] [tis] [hymas] [planēsē]   
   [Take heed] [lest] [any[one]] [you] [lead astray / deceive / cause to wander.]   
   "Take heed, lest anyone *you* lead astray."   
   Using the Good Shepherd analogy: [Mind your own flock.  Let *others* call   
   *their* sheep to *their* cotes (sheep pens.)]   
      
   At any rate, this brings me to the observation that, understanding the "logos"   
   (logic/meaning) of words helps one to understand the meaning of dreams.  Just   
   sayin'....
