I used to have dreams of being in the backseat and no one was driving 😂

I have those a lot! Or I’m in the backseat and trying to drive but struggling to reach the steering wheel and see the road. Really, I just have a lot of dreams where I’m driving but really struggling to control the car

Funny, right after a sort of personal self-inquiry retreat, had a dream where I was in the backseat and someone unfamiliar drove the car off a cliff. Woke up from the sensation of falling, heart hammering - then laughed.

To me it’s more like you’re the kid in the back seat with your hands on the toy steering wheel thinking you’re controlling the ride. 1:34 after being surprised and/or disillusioned or destabilized it can be very calming. Why stress about things over which you have no control?

There was a glimpse into NoSelf/NoWorld/JustThis about a year ago and it was terrifying. The fear seems to come from the no-hope/nowhere-to-go insight. It was seen that me/the world are but a thick layer of thoughts. But I can’t face the truth because there is a belief that JustThis is not enough, so I m like the child that doesn t want to hear that Santa doesn’t exist.

@@franciscazanoguera189 , your reaction is not abnormal. The Mind does not want to die. It rejects the “ no Self “ And there is no controlling the Mind. IMHO, the Dark Abyss is Illuminating. LOL 😆 YES, Courage is required to make the worldview/Life changing, First Step.

@cps_Zen_Run Thank you. I m now slowly starting to reorient towards This (after a year of unconscious distraction/avoidance), and it seems that Faith is coming in to summon the courage. It s kind of funny coming from a (former, I guess) recalcitrant atheist 😂.

So it sounds like you became awake and aware slowly over time - good to know. "I" have actually tried the forcing approach where "I" sat down, next to the path "I" was walking on, closed my eyes and tried.... it didn't work. Realizing now that "I" was trying to do it. I put the "I" in front of the source/god/higher power. "I" need to get out of the way, go back and sit in the trunk.

Fuck its happened. Right now its not seemingly even in the good catagory . But thankful anyway. I watched this in the morning and then choosing to not distract while in the car, the incessant sprinkling of the rain wirh wipers felt itself overwhelming. There was a sense that the stories and destractions are a fear of everything. I was going to disolve or die anyway. Laufhing at your visual of something pushing one off the peep hole of the fence. Feeling almost ill going weak, energetically still making somatic breath and weird noices. Lots of body tension right now. Just wow, thank you even more funny because noboby would have described this personality as anxious but there's sludge here anyway. As you say, never as expected

Is it possible that this process happens very, very slowly over months, maybe years? Or is it always sudden or gentle?
@cps_Zen_Run5 ай бұрын
@Hermetic7 You are not a Thing in this World. You are the Space in which the World is happening. Most don’t realize that they are in a Dream. Some realize they are, and if they acquired specific knowledge, they would Wake up, and be enlightened. But that too, is just part of the Dream. There is only the Dream.
