Dreaming of the Divine

“Dreams contain messages from ourselves. With its inbuilt healing system, the brain uses dreaming to process the everyday happenings of our lives. It’s a little like housecleaning for the mind. Humans need to dream. That’s why dreams have been called the “guardians of sanity” -God Conversations

“Your dreams are remarkable friends they give you and an objective or unbiased picture of how your selves dance with each other.” -Voice Dialogue International”

“Dreams are the impartial, spontaneous products of the unconscious psyche, outside the control of the will. They are pure nature; the show us the unvarnished, natural truth, and are therefore fitted, as nothing else is, to give us back an attitude that accords with our basic human nature when our consciousness has strayed too far from its foundations and run into an impasse.” -Karl Jung

“The dream provides disguised satisfaction for wishes that are repressed while we are awake. Dream interpretation is the royal road that leads to knowledge of the unconscious psychic life” -Sigmond Freud

“Dreams”

“Hold fast to dreams

For if dreams die

Life is a broken winged bird

That cannot fly.

Hold fast to dreams

For when dreams go

Life is a barren field Frozen with snow.

-Langston Hughes

“Dream Within a Dream”

“When one is in a dream,

One does not know one is dreaming.

One may even dream while in the middle of dreaming.

Only after awakening does one realize it was a dream.

Similarly, only after one experiences Great Awakening,

Does one realize that this is all one big dream.

But the fools thinks he is awake.

He is self-assured in knowing this.

The so-called kings!

The so-called ministers!

Persist in their delusions.

Chu and you are both dreaming.

I say you are dreaming. I’m dreaming too.

This kind of talk,

Its name is “bizarre”

-Chuang Tzu translation by Derek Lin of taiosm.net”

“This art Expression depicts the peaceful state of sleeping Ananda Goddess that receives radiance from the Eternal Holy Sun, she understands as the Divine speaks silently into the void, dreams appear before her, all is a cosmic play of Lila, held by the Golden Ground of her Being.” Bhavani (Mary)
