Do you ever feel the need to follow Compulsions within a dream in "real Life"........................Beggars the Point. What I mean is.............a dream Character tells you to do something and you follow the instructions in real life. Just how much are we in Control..............
Okay.. If a Dream Character tells you to do something, who is it who is really telling you to do something? What do you consider the Self? The conditioned persona, or the Complete Mind... the Complete Self.Quote:

And then the conditioned persona can choose to listen to the Higher Mind as it expresses itself through some credible and important Dream Archetype (nobody would listen to just anybody, in a dream or anywhere), or it can choose not to.
But control is a problem for those of very little intellect. Without a strong intellect there is not much else but the impulsive emotions to regulate the conduct of one's life. And then some of those with good intellects, find them a burden ... their mind seems as though too strict a master, and so drunkeness and drug abuse are engaged in as though to mimic natural stupidity.
There is also the constraints of severe poverty, or extreme wealth -- in either case the person's entire will and store of energy go into maintaining the necessities of life on one hand and the most dazzling riches on the other. One needs time to smell the roses.
Ok, so THATS why i drink so much... I'm too intelligent! :D HahaQuote:

But seriously, you make a good point there Leo. Stupid people often seem to have more fun than me... But I still have lot of fun though... Guess I'm not that intelligent after all. But at least I'm happy. You wouldn't wanna be like Marwin in the Hitchhikers Guide now, would you?
MARVIN get it right, and its Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy. You should read the whole series, much better than that god forsaken movie. I waited years for the movie to be made and it was disapointing to how it difffered from the book so much! BTW. sorry for off topic response.
Does your fun bring anybody else pain? Then do you never meet with a crisis? The stupid fun lover is quite paralyzed in emergencies or times of trouble.Quote:

"Hitchhiker's Guide"!? Now there is a stupid movie. There is real humor that has as its basis evoking a sense of ambiguity at the same time as reminding us of our mortality -- that we are spiritual beings in animal bodies. But then there is the Absurd. Stupid people and women enjoy the Absurd and will laugh at it. Woody Allen was absurd. "Hitchhiker's Guide" was absurd. Intelligent people wonder what there is to laugh at -- it is only absurd, it is only stupid. Intelligent people wait for something witty and clever to laugh at -- something that suggests ambiguity and a sense of our Mortality, and the fatalism of being Spirits in animal bodies.
In many of my dreams, the Higher Beings I've met have not displaced much levity. No nervous laughter from them. But one feels a confidence in them. Would you trust some idiot who is clowning around, or somebody who sees it all as quite serious business.
Well I'm sorry that my misspelling of Marvin upset you. It's been a while now since I read the books(Yes, I haven't seen the movie). Love them by the way. And I am aware of the full title, but I thought that my shortened version would be understood. And if you are upset by misspellings, you should look a bit closer at your own spelling. After all, I'm only swedish... :lol:Quote:

And I am sorry for this response to an off-topic response. Really, I am... :oops:
