I'm so glad you hear me on the concreteness of life as being a dream, just a slower version, more like a glacier compared to a fast flowing river of liquid water. The ups and downs look to me more like the rocks and stones, pebbles and seracs that the glacier has to traverse one way or another on its way to the ocean. Its not as if the glacier had a choice in the matter right? LOL!!! :)
The dream lays in the essence of water and its fluidity, in its power to move and embrace all shapes without ever being commanded by it as it allows for erosion to lay all mountains at its feet. Oceanic dreaming arises the lighter one becomes, the wider the span of the dreams the more encompassing the affect perfuses all.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and giving us an opportunity to share hearts and souls on this matter. Namaste :)
