Jo.May – The wonderful science fiction type of dreams are often about the amazing potential we all have, but are usually “disabled by a device”.
To understand the dream I suppose we need a map of the territory – and the territory is your own self – all of it. What you call ‘you’ is only a tiny part of the whole you. That is your conscious self. Then there is what has been called the unconscious. This is a massive part of you that few people know about in any depth, and this is the part that does a lot of the work – keeping your body and mind in order and balanced. Then we have the supra conscious – the wonder part of us that even fewer people know or have any awareness of. This is the part that has supernormal powers.
Your dream, like most dreams, symbolises the different parts. So the supra conscious is the spirit that can appear or disappear easily, and knows the future – telling you that everything will be fine.
The enemy are the many doubts and fears and conflicts that block you from knowing and using your real abilities. These are usually unknown and in the unconscious. Of course it is a battle, and the threat is death or pain, which your supra conscious knows are empty threats. The battle is between the false beliefs, the pains and fears that have been grown as truths in our lives, and our own real self masked by such beliefs and experiences. It is a real battle. And to quote from the book There is a River, “The plan for the soul was a cycle of experience, unlimited in scope and duration, in which the new individual would come to know creation in all its aspects, at the discretion of will.”
Unfortunately we believe our lives are finished with the death of our body – and that is part of the battle, for it has been a trap set up for thousands of years, that lead us to be puppets of ‘masters’.
