Recently I had a dream where a part of myself got right in my face and said "why don't you stop pointing to other websites and taking the easy way out". Dreams have been both a refuge and a very scary place as of late. I remember them all and stay in them even when I am aware, and even when they end up terrifying. It's the thrill of it and the different places that I go to that make day living bearable. I can't stand being in the same place all the time, eating the same food. It's so boring everyday, which is squarely my fault..
'"Taking the easy way out"
I wasn't shocked by this, I knew it to be true. This is in fact my current lifestyle and has been for quite awhile. It's not working out on so many levels. I wouldn't know where to start in determining where the laziness began. TV probably. Using my charm and perceived innocence to get out of things and situations. I got away with too much. I know it wears thin at times. Escapism can be good if you can bring something back and share it. But I don't quite do that.
I think dreaming is my little niche in the vast array of spiritual accoutrements you can acquire. Much like Megaman gets different weapons level to level, in this case it's my weapon in this life. It guides my creativity, shows me probable futures, gives me enjoyment, and quite often scares the living daylights out of me.
Living daylights, a phrase to think about.
A few tips for lucid dreaming:
- sleep in, easy for me
- when you are aware that you are in a dream, look at your hands
- wake up and then go back to sleep or take naps in the day.
- take lots of vitamin B complex
