Revolution

Major changes in yourself, in viewpoint, understanding, activities, in governing desires. It can also show conflict between major parts of your personality. For instance, some people dominate their behaviour with rational thinking, suppressing their feelings. This is akin to the Russian and French aristocracy dominating the working class. The result can be revolution. It also suggests personal conflict and a battle fought to reach a new way of life. 

Revolve: Many dream descriptions use the word revolve suggesting the dreamer constantly return to feelings or thoughts about a subject like parents, an animal or a frightening thing or person. Or else issues revolve around a central part of the personal makeup.

 Example: I had an insight that I had got into a negative feedback loop. Because I had got stuck in this place, then I feared I was stuck there in reality, which produced the certainty I was stuck, which produced the inability to move out. We feed back to ourselves images of failure and feelings of unattractiveness, and all the other negative feelings we all meet during the week. Instead of looking at them and seeing them as passing feelings, we take them as impressions of reality and drown in them. We accept them as true and start to live them. When that happens we see conformation for the negatives and so it goes on.

I tried to find the way out of the loop. The only way out I could find was the realisation that the loop has no end, like the figure eight. There is only one thing to do, stop it playing. Grab it and stop the crazy record or habit carrying on. To help with this, to help grab the thing and kill it, we obviously have to realise it is untrue.

If we still believe the loop to be playing a truth, then we only strengthen the action. So for its cessation we need to realise that our sense of self is a constantly moving fragile thing that has no stable reality. We aren’t ANYTHING – stable, so how can we be a failure, or a success, or great, or of no account, or any thought or feeling? No thought or feeling represents our reality. No feeling, or sense of ourselves, is anything more than a sense, a feeling, it is not us. So how could this feeling represent some sort of permanent personal reality?
