Being alive is the same as the state of dreaming; a boundless and unpredictable sensory experience, arising spontaneously and forever changing. You are an intangible force, constantly observing this phenomenon, interpreting the overlapping sequences retrospectively. Each life is an intensely unique series of events, perfectly unfolding and always expanding to invite you into deeper immersion. Steeped with poignant symbolism and metaphor, every moment contains the potential for revelations that can lead to a clearer appreciation of the processes at play. As the dreamer, you are experimenting with an important (though illusory) sensation of free will. This allows for a form of participation in the linear progress of the dream. Utilizing the subtle art of focus, one can learn to attain and maintain lucidity - the deep awareness of the consciousness permeating the dreamscape - allowing for new levels of interaction within it. From there, you can instinctually develop linguistic and creative practices to form, adapt, and evolve personal stories that harmonize with the natural waves of reality; all the while, weaving ongoing internal mythologies that support balance, growth, connection, freedom, curiosity, and creativity. By gently guiding your attention to the impulses and emotions in response to the seemingly endless stream of events, you can cultivate a more self-correcting perspective and settle into an effortless state of mastery, as a dreamer playfully exploring this profound situation.
