Even if one argues that unconscious electrochemical impulses,that do not represent the self, in other various brain modules are the only things transparently putting on this show-the fact remains that we do not fly in waking life. Therefore we have never had the waking life input-experience of flying into a powerline or branch.(or flying at all for that matter)This experience is not stored in the brain as such.
So why the 'unconscious' choice of a powerline, or branch, over say ,a net,a cloud,a plane,a blimp,a fog or anything else that could be placed there ?
I am asking because some other Lucid Dreamers seem to have this experience too. When did a powerline become a sort of archetype for obstruction when we do not collectively fly into them except for in dreams ? So then,how does a dream archetype transfer to others,especially when it's meaning is completely different in waking reality and forms different associations? ( power,energy,electric, )
