a comforting thought about living forever

by alecweston ^Pro @ 2007-12-26 – 23:26:33

Silly maybe, but comforting....

Supposing, when we die, we enter the land of our dreams. for good

Often when I dream, the place I'm inhabiting feels familiar - not from 'real life', but from other dreams. The same dream countryside, the same dream streets, the same dream house. Or if they are not the same, then related, similar. On the other hand with apparently infinite variety.

I wouldn't mind spending eternity there....

... except for the nightmares.

But if we believed that after our death we lived on in our dreams, then there would be a profression of dream-therapists, shamen,- maybe a new religion - helping our nights, and our eternity be nightmare free. (The First Church of Alec the Dreamer?)

Otherwise we would go to hell

What a load of nonsense. Good night.

Hmmmmmmm interesting thought. But what when we die we go back to where we come from? I believe we are all Earth Angels and when we die we go back to where we came from. Its peaceful, full of love.. then after spending time "At home" we line up to do it all again GULP!! Ohhhhhh my, lets hope we do it better next time!

Night, sweet dreams

Abstruse and highly fascinating thoughts. If only we could remember our past lives.

  Enough with Past Lives already! My playful theory is about our one life now, and our dreams which spring from it, and may continue forever after our death. Future reincarnation would get in the way of this... yes?

      'All that we see or seem/Is but a dream within a dream.'
      Let's take a collective bow to Mr Poe.

That's interesting. Maybe it'd be kewl dying and living in dreams because then everything is technically in your control, because your dreams are a part of your mind.. so ultimately.. couldn't you make anything happen?
It's a kewl thought

But
How could a dead person dream?
Maybe they can. It's not like you can ask ¬_¬

You made me think

I thikk my theory is a little fanciful - and not proven enough to try for real! Having said that strange scientific things sometimes turn out to be true.

"Everything is technically in your control." Well our night dreams - unlike day dreams - come from deep in our unconcious, and though some people (you?) can alter bits of their dreams by will power, we are never completely in control of them - and anyway they are all in symbolic form.

But by discovering more about our hidded dreads and desires, we can come to understand our dreams more and have more pleasant ones.

If you ever felt like it and had the money, I am sure there are lots of books in those Totnes alternative bookshops about dreams. Or in the library.

On the other hand, just fall asleep and enjoy a few
