Philosophy of Dreams

 In attempting to put together the information gathered from viewing thousands of dreams – not simply at face value, but explored in depth through the emotions and direct associations of the dreamer – a philosophy or view of life arises.

 Birth is not a Beggining – It is a Continuum

The synthesis of the information gathered suggests that our birth as a physical and psychological being is a paradox. We are unique, and at the same time a common undifferentiated process. Psychologically we have our identity out of the lives of thousands of humans who preceded us and left the gift of language, of music, art, of concepts and information. Our mental life, our consciousness, is in some real way formed out of what they left from their lives. Our self awareness has been whittled out of the rock of possibilities by the love, the struggle and pain, the endeavour and wit of their lives. Particularly our psyche has been shaped by or modelled on our parents and the traces in their life, unknown though they may be, of their forebears, backwards through many generations.

 Death IS the End – But there IS Still More

At death, we face a very real end, a real death. There is no magical escape from this. All that we have been, all we have become, all we gathered and won is lost – finished. But the paradox occurs again. Dreams suggest that out of all we gave of ourselves, out of all we received from the lives of others, arises into a new existence recreated in a realm of consciousness. This may mean that we continue as living influences in the lives of those who still live. But the suggestion is that something more than this occurs.
