Take awareness
of these images as far as you can
with a goal of bringing back something that is useful and applicable.
When
eyes are open, each step along a path is one at a time. One action
follows another which follows another. The hilltop-to-hilltop
exercises represent available
eyes-closed experiences. In dreams and imagination,
where thought is action, think it to do it. Think it to be it.
"Casually
enter dream..." demonstrates that this type of imaging is relaxing
and can lead to sleep as a form of meditation. "Hold on for
the ride..." adds some speed, or additional potential, to the
process.
What
separates an imagined experience from something real? One answer
is TIME. Waking actions take time. What might change to make waking
actions easier? One answer is calendar. Although not yet commonly
considered, inability to carry the Gregorian calendar in our heads
means dreams deny it, too. Tethering imagination to physical copies
of calendar also interrupts and diffuses capacity to plan within
dreams ("dream-plan"). Recognition of calendar-imposed
boundaries is a next step in removing and getting beyond them.
Additional
analysis of connections is in revision.
