      From: dicksilk@gmail.com              Strange "carport"       Awkward "gathering"              Just so you know, last night (a few hours *before* bed, which was around       midnight) I attended (by Zoom) one of the "Chris Duncan" / "Magnetic Mind"       seminars. (They're week-long sessions, held perhaps once or twice a year, and       are free for the signing up,        although make no doubt about it, he's looking for fish to take up the "$100       bait" opportunities offered throughout the week / (one meeting a day, for 5       days.) (If interested, here's a starting link: christophermduncan.com/courses       â€” but I *highly        recommend* FIRST getting a "Red Letter Edition" of the New Testament and       studying the first 4 books— Matthew, Mark, Luke and John— and studying       *only* those Words "Written in Red"— That will help a *lot* of this start       to make sense.)              A little bit about *just what* the "Magnetic Mind" approach is all about:        It's a method of [opening the mind to the creative structure / process] to       allow *radical* (nearly "instant," nearly "miraculous") adjustments to an       individual's personality /        psyche, basically "removing" obstacles that impede a person's progress. In       short, it gets you from point "Now A" (old, existing life) to point "Now B"       (new, future-present life) by simply "leveling the playing field" in a way, in       basically just a few        moments (like a 5 or 10-minute meditation period) which is *very similar* to       hypnosis, but with a positive, life-affirming consequence.              Now this is something I've only "barely" studied, but it's been more along the       lines of: "That's *so similar* to Christianity / what Jesus teaches!" that       it's becoming more like, "Oh, so *that's* what Jesus is sharing in His       teaching!" although there's a        *bit* of "that seems just a tad 'off' from what Jesus teaches" or "the       teaching of Jesus reveals a "true" version of this that you (Chris) *could*       benefit from, if you ever decided to 'listen' to Him."              Thus, while I've been listening to Duncan's session(s) it's more like       listening to a non-Christian preacher teaching *pretty much* a LOT of the same       principles that are taught in the New Testament, although clearly from a       "secular" perspective. For        example, referring to "God the Father" as the "Super-Conscious." Referring to       "pick up your cross daily and follow Me" as "letting go of" your old self (aka       "sinful ways.") The concept of "imagining your new life" as akin to "With       God, *all* things are        possible" (although Jesus teaches the precept in an *infinitely* capable       manner, whereas Duncan appears to have a bit of a limited, finite, earth-based       perspective.)              So with that bit of an introduction of contrast, here are two of the dreams       from last night / this morning:              Strange "carport": Very little of this dream is actually remembered, but it       somehow involved an individual (who seemed to be the "main guy" of the dream)       with a type of vehicle, *similar* to a large farm-type "combine-harvester"       (wikipedia.org/wiki/       Combine_harvester) with a type of "racing spoiler" (the type of tail fin used       by fast cars to keep their tires firmly on the road) that was the width of 3       or 4 cars beneath an awning, such as at a gas station designed for a large       number of vehicles        pulling in and out, side by side with room to spare.              I can report this general width because of what happened in the dream scene:        Whatever it was that the (only) character was driving was pulled underneath       such an awning, and then the "spoiler" was *raised* in a fashion, as if it       were being used to *       support* the awning in some manner. That was basically all there was (that I       could remember) of this first scene, clarity 8-ish (mainly due to presence of       the "what was *that* all about?" factor.)              Awkward "gathering": This is one wherein the dreamer was *wearing* clothes       that were *very* princess-like, such as what a young girl at a costume,       Hallowe'en, or slumber party might wear for fun. And yes, the dreamer felt       *very* awkward wearing this        outfit, as if thinking / sensing, "WHAT am I *doing* in *this outfit*?!?!"              Then, without skipping a beat, the dreamer felt as would a father doing some       type of "dress up" stunt just to make his daughter happy, like, "Don't all       dads do this kind of inane, silly stunt at some point or another (as for a       young daughter)?"              So, going with the *premise* that *perhaps* "he" was dressed like a "princess"       of some sort *may* have been for a "make your daughter child happy" type       event, the dreamer began noticing the outfit itself, namely, the *light pink*       color that was noticed        at first, and also the "ballerina" tutu-type appearance, *similar* to this one       ( i.etsystatic.com/14572646/r/il/e8a029/1454808128/il_fullxfull.       454808128_1ctc.jpg )       but mind you, a few points: 1, this post is likely to *way* outlast that       link, and 2, it's really only a general likeness, as the view in the dream       wasn't that clear regardless, like, "How well can a guy *see* the *tutu he's       wearing*, anyways?"              So then there's the view of the floor area, which appears well *spotted* with       dirty areas, like someone walked in wearing their clod-hoppers from the       barnyard or something.              There was a small group of girls, all around maybe age 7 or 8 to 9 or 10, and       there was the *sense* that they were headed or needed to sit on that floor for       some reason, so the dreamer (wearing a tutu, remember!) had something like a       "bridal train"        composed of a type of pink mesh netting used to affix flowers of various       types, possibly roses included, yet without any stems or thorns, just the       flowers themselves, like from the tip-top end of the "receptacle" / bottom of       the "sepal" / sepals, upward†      ” the flower itself. This train / flower-impregnated mesh netting was simply       "tossed outward" ahead of the dreamer, like a person might throw a rug upon a       floor, and all the little girls sat upon it, likely thankful for avoiding       having to sit in the mud,        but let's not kid ourselves here, they *may* have had *zero* mindfulness of       the gesture *at all.* For all they may have been aware, someone had simply       laid out a very nice place for them to sit— and they sat— all looking       forward (backs to the        dreamer's perspective) as if watching a show that was a bit of a distance       ahead of them.                     [continued in next message]              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
