Tiernan – It is good to see you here again. As I said last time, all I can do is to add some touches that might be helpful.
This dream is a huge jump to the last one. It has tremendous promise. You are getting very near to your Core now. The black hole is a fantastic symbol, and unlike so many people, you are not afraid of it. And I would love to know how you came by the courage.
Here is something I added to the feature Dream Yoga today before I saw your dream;
Falling and the big black hole are things we avoid in waking life, but should not be avoided in dream life. Here is a dream of a dream yogi.
“I can remember being dressed as an heroic warrior running through crowds of people or soldiers who were trying to stop me. I pushed or knocked them aside and ran toward what was a huge caldera – the mouth of a volcano. It was hugely deep, and in its depths was a massive glow from volcanic lava. But I knew that this was the core of oneself, so I ran and leapt into the void falling into what I knew or felt sure was the light at the core of my being.”
The hole is an important part of you and should not be ignored. If you can enter it you realise that it is the way to your own centre and power. It is the hole described in Alice in the Wonderland.
But the hole and facing death are really gateways to discover who, or what, you are. Most people say, “I don’t believe in God. There is no evidence for His existence.” Some people say, “I believe in God with all my heart.” But both people are locked into only knowing a tiny part of them based on our conscious self, emotions, words and thoughts. They are so sure of themselves based on an almost infinitesimal small part of them. And the silly thing is that they are so sure of themselves from this small understanding.
Behind that conscious self, so new, so fragile, is the darkness of unconsciousness. And there in the darkness is the Hugeness that lies behind our small self. So ask your self, “Who am I? What am I?” And do not be fooled by repeating your name, what you have achieved, and all the ready made word descriptions. Keep asking."
It all revolves around in a circle, but at each turn it is new and unique. The fall into it and are expressed out of it all in the same moment.
The laws of physics seem a bit warped – that is because they are. Usually we only see them from the small ‘conscious self' mentioned above. When we see it in the Hugeness it is all a part of the whole – which we fail to see from our little self. As I say later in Dream Yoga, our conscious self is like a photocopier, and deals only in copies, not reality.
The ceiling crashing down I see as you realising the dangers of everyday life, the subtle dangers of beliefs we hold as truths, and you can sidestep them. The DB character is probably your workaday world mind that is not all that interested in ‘higher speculations’.
And then you face a choice, whether you want more of the life of red blood, the physical life that you are hungry for, or whether to take the steep and narrow way onwards. And quite honestly you can have both if you are careful about avoiding the dangers.
Press on. And if you can use
