Baraka,dreamplane and lucidity

Although I had lucidity in the dream plane last night, I have to find another term for the phenomenon…such as dream plane integral or integrated awareness , this would respect the fact that the dream plane self is always lucid but would leave room for degrees and types of awareness within that plane. What happens to those memories in the return to this plane is an area for study.

Although I had myriad options during the lucidity all I wanted was to meet an old friend. She met me at the door, but the substance of the complex and warm conversation escapes me. Still, given that its been a few years since I had any type of integrated awareness within the dream plane, its a sign that the recommitment to practise is working.

Yet I woke deeply unhappy and impelled to watch Baraka. As soon as it began I realised my nature self was completely out of balance, I have not included any practise to nature or nourish it. In truth I had forgotten that I had a nature self. Perhaps the conversation between the old friend and I addressed this. Or I came back with an extreme sense of nostalgia and of missing something and through re inclusion of nature self-activity something will return. Or maybe I saw the inside of a type of aesthetic beauty in the dream plane need a strong reminder of it in FW1 mode.

Nature as you know it is also a result of your decision to handle large amounts of energy without strong imposed restraints. The beauties within it are often the result of violent changes, of strong energy, used to change pattern and form, and yet maintain a definite stability. The end products - your foliage, landscapes and skies for example, are of the highest esthetic nature: as esthetic productions they are unequalled.
