There is so much of a dark side to our history and presence, just like you saw in the movie. This night on German TV there was talk about Littleton shooting, and "Bowling for Columbine" was shown. I did watch it again. There have been similar shootings at schools in Germany recently. That may be why we pay attention to this anniversary of US tragedy. You may say, these too are expressions of collective consciousness, while so many dream of making war and make their dreams come true. So it is good that today also many dream of peace, and make these dreams come true. Much hope is in current US administration and also the American citizens in general. PS

Thanks for sharing this experience! From a more "technical" point of view I wonder about the relation of your sleep paralysis and dead bodies and their trapped spirits. This isn't meant to frame your experience, but just to say these two parts of experience, if it were my dream, would catch my attention because of their structural relation. It also seems to be common to experience presences in sleep paralysis, Jenny Parker did a presentation on this subject in Gothenburg conference. From a different point of view of course these experiences/ states may well be gates used by disembodied beings for contacting those in-body. I congratulate you for your good display of lucid self - control in the situation of SP. The oriental lady remains a mystery maybe only you can solve. She points to your nightstand, and if it were my dream, I would say, she points to it all, and there are different aspects in your life with dreams, some technical and some spiritual. I mean, I don't know you all well, but your nightstand fits with how I know you :) So, through her being, she maybe emphasizes a certain aspect of your work? She seems to represent a counterweight to the more technical approach to (dream) reality symbolized by the slide rule in the beginning of your dream. Then in the lucid sequel of SP, you intend to get answers from the depths of collective consciousness. OK, it might depend (in part) on your personal relation and your expectations what you then experience. What hits me is the "realness" of your experience, and this seemingly hit you, too. I mean the collective consciousness might just not be a "space" or "field" of memories, archetypes, but it appears to be a world of the spirits of deceased in your dream. Real entities, not just pale thoughts or bits of information or abstract tendencies we can easily "control" or "compute" using a slide ruler. So, maybe there is something to learn, at least me did learn something through your dream. Thanks, Ruben! And keep up good dreamwork Ralf Hi, Ruben!

Sometimes it's the most insignificant things that you do for someone that stay in the person's mind. Your book, though it hasn't made the big splash you'd like it to make, has touched people's live's. I've read some of their e-mail's addressed to you stating so. So keep doing what you're doing, and don't get discouraged if you don't see the big ripple in the pond. Someone out there has been touched by your book and dreams.

]]> Comment on It’s a Boy and We Named Him Steven by Jackie http://pennyformythought.org/wordpress/2007/08/31/its-a-boy-and-we-named-him-steven/#comment-392 Jackie Wed, 13 Aug 2008 01:53:32 +0000 http://pennyformythought.org/wordpress/2007/08/31/its-a-boy-and-we-named-him-steven/#comment-392 I haven't read your book -- yet. Nevertheless I think I can offer a possible additional insight into the name "Steven". I am a scholar of Ancient Greek Greek literature. Stephanos as you noted means crown or garland. You shouldn't think that crown is not like a gold crown we often imagine on kings and queens, the opposite is true. gold crowns symbolise the arrogant godlike pretensions that many royal dynasts or tyrants with great power fall prey to. The name for that kind of crown in Greek is Diadem. The stephanos, however, is a crown that symbolizes humility at the moment of great triumph. It really refers to a crown made by weaving plants together, something perishable, a reminder of mortality. Usually, the garlands are flowers (I'll come back to this), but it can often be various kinds of leaves -- e.g. laurel or parsley crowns were given to victors in ancient athletic games victories. In ancient Greek an athlon was a struggle. You have of course Jesus' garland of thorns; he's given this kind of crown to humiliate him. Remember the charge was that he claimed to be a king. Again struggle and suffering. Since you associate your dream with your own book, the primary meaning "garland of flowers" becomes interesting. Ancient collections of poems were sometimes called garlands (we get the word anthology from this, which is literally collection of flowers (anthos=flower)). I thought all these associations might add something to your interpretation. To me is seems that it's not really about your book which is finished, but about the work our are doing with this very blog which is a "garland of dreams". Thus the baby steven is your reward garland (garland of leaves given to victors or conquering generals), your suffering or sacrifice I haven’t read your book — yet.
