Its thiny and open.

Someone please correct me on how this song goes, by Rush, I think:

*Forget about the consternation,

*Get on with the fascination,

*A world of wonder,

*The underlying theme....*

So the question would be, do you understand the underlying theme ?

The dream was clearly an insight.  The You that you were, you seem to say, was not the you you know as you.  Who was it ?  What impression do you have of who this *I* was ?

Quote: "I remember being myself (as a self-aware body) in the very beginning of my dream. Then I saw a highway full of cars and "I" as an observer disappeared. There was a woman driver in front of me and then I became her and understood her completely, without any words. The next moment I was 10 different drivers at once. After a blink of an eye I was no more 10 people, but all of them. I lived every life of every human there was on earth. There were millions of experiences to experience in that mere moment of insight. I lost perception of time, because I was living and dying thousands of times at that moment. Soon all the different images of many different lives combined into something common. Unifying. I didn't see anything after that. Only thing left was this feeling of peace. And silence in my mind. Then I woke up. The feeling disappeared in a few seconds.

It is difficult to describe what it was. Both because the feeling (or insight) is in itself not describable in words and because every time I begin to describe it I end up describing some description of emptiness and illusion I read in zen compass or other books.

I find it strange that my dream stared in a very urban and modern way (cars, television and working society). "

I think you really have something there.

Quote: "Exactly. I don't know. I wish to do more practice. I want to feel it again. Though, I am a little bit afraid to idealize the feeling I had and get attached to it. What do you think I should do?"

When I began TM, I didnt like the idea of a mantra, which I saw as just a means of putting the internal dialogue into a loop anyway.  I already knew how to stop the internal dialogue and had been doing that since I was a baby, for internal peace in a chaotic world.

So I asked questions instead, repeating a question over and over again as I went into meditation, just as would be done with a mantra.  And I got answers.  I asked questions until I ran out of questions, and since then have just left it open as I go into meditation.

I suggest you ask questions.

......... Isn't it wrong to dream of being enlightened? I think I had a chance to peek through a key hole. I saw a mirtor by the wall reflecting the truth. Did I see the truth? I think I didn't now I need to practice to open the door :) "

One night in this haunted Inn where I work,

I saw a ghost open one door, and then walk through another on the other side of the hall.

So just how solid is this world we live in anyway ?!

What you should do is just something to do in the meantime.

Thats why any path will do, because they are all just something to do.

When the time is right, You will know where to find yourself.

On the one hand, you have forever to work on It,

and on the other, you dont even have that.
