Post #96 "The Common Dream"

Is a dream and a purpose the same? Is there some commonality expressed in dreaming that threads throughout the limits of creation? Is the dream that is dreamt in another time and in another place and even in another dimension, a common dream? Does this dream, then, bring about unity or does it bring about division?

If the 'collective consciousness' chooses to dream its own reality into existence, it would have to access and 'collect' its dreaming from all intelligence throughout time and history. The 'collective consciousness' thinks linearly because its dream is a process that moves to fulfillment. The dream is an event that unfolds. The dream exists because the collective consciousness desires to become something outside its own actuality. The dream is not of what is, but of becoming. It dreams of becoming other than self. It dreams of becoming Other. If not so, then why the dream? Why dream of becoming other if one is comfortable and fulfilled with what is? What causes intelligence to dream? What else could the impetus be, but fear. Fear is the impetus to dream. We choose to dream away the fear, and we all know this underlying, unidentifiable fear!

For this dream of unfolding, from beginning to end, the collective consciousness creates linear movement. This linear movement is Time. The dream  of consciousness creates Time. The collective consciousness puts itself into this linear unfolding, in a sense, into a dividing of itself into segments and into levels and layers. Does the division of self not create more fear? How better to destroy self than through self-division? How desperate to self-divide. How far can the process of division proceed without bringing about ending? Division is a process that accelerates with the passing of each increment of itself in the movement of beginning to end. Is this process, then, really the fulfillment of the dream or the fulfillment of self destruction?

All this movement creates patterns. All quite repetitious really, just different levels, like levels of Time and Place in our dream story. All this is necessary to the unfolding of the Dream for the dream has beginning and ending. The dream has already begun, is in process, and has already ended for Time is nebulous. What begins ends and what ends begins. Time is essential to the unfolding of the dream, of any dream. Frustration with what is begins the unfolding process but the underlying impetus is fear. But exactly what fears and what is feared? Anything that feels threatened with loss of existence fears. Creation has beginning and consequently ending, creation fears. With fear the dream begins and the dream ends. Fear sets in as Time promises loss of existence. This is not Reality.
