InfiniteVision – Here are some thoughts about your dream. You saw the wonderful symbol whole self, your latent potential, but you didn’t enter it. You did though try to draw it closer to you. As I have said elsewhere, dream images are like icons on a computer screen, you have to click on them to know what they are. Well, you were going in that direction.
Did you try ‘being’ the UFO? Just curious.
The exciting thing is the swift shape shifting – and also the US military emblem. The many shapes are a way of saying that the real or whole you is not any fixed shape. In fact it can be any shape, although in essence it is everything, so is without any form. If it were a shape it cannot be everything. Everything is beyond definition.
Then the disappointment at seeing the US insignia is probably a reminder of the paradoxical nature of our spiritual self. Because it is everything it is at the same time supersensible and ordinary. It might also be a reminder that it has potential for protecting and attack.
A friend reminded me of this yesterdays:
I said to my soul, be still and wait without hope,
For hope would be hope for the wrong thing; wait without love,
For love would be love of the wrong thing; there is yet faith,
But the faith and the love are all in the waiting.
Wait without thought, for you are not ready for thought:
So the darkness shall be the light, and the stillness the dancing.
