To mention a few other minor connections of possible relevance....

I recalled no dreams last night, partially because I stayed up until 2am writing strange, strange posts to an internet forum. Nevertheless, the last time I can think of that I didn't dream was three years ago in my first "someone else had my dream" experience. That is the dream that seemed to respond to my criticism of the "higher states of matter" model found in this same book.

The post I made last night in which I tried to 'channel' my 'self', with mixed success, also connects to this same gendered, mirrored model that I described here. I didn't emphasize those characteristics last night, but that's the model I was working with 15 years ago when I first had that kind of experience. The feminine, angelic, 'feeling' aspect of that experience corresponds to the passive, psychic part of the 'self' in that decomposition. Its also relevant to my discussion with Belle about the nature of morality, as maybe you can see from my above description, and from how I related justice to vengeance-of-fate in my last response to her. I plan to post more on that topic later today.

For myself, from context, I'm pretty near to 100% certain that I've identified at least one aspect of the content in your dream, even though there are usually other valid interpretations also. I realize that my take on it won't be at all familiar or convincing to everyone else who looks at it though.
