I have read a lot of so called New Age books and hardcore science. I did my Ph.D. at the same gaffe Michael Faraday did his research which has the highest per capita Nobel laureate density associated with it in the world. I did my degrees at a world top ten university {UCL} and subsequently taught at this year’s #2 {Imperial} according to QS university rankings. That is a pretty snazzy background.

I have ~60 legit publications in the physical sciences literature.
And yet here I am getting some weird and wonderful dreams. I’ll speculate that if taken as a whole there is no modern accepted psychology / psychiatry which could account for them.
I’ll speculate that these dreams may be unique in scope and in content. Who else dreams of witches and high technology patents?
I have absorbed what might be called four schools of thought, modern science, Toltec Teachings, The Ageless Wisdom {Alice Bailey Djwhal Khul blue books} and elements of Hinayana, Mahayana, Zen and Vajrayana Buddhism.
I approached this learning with an inquiring open mind, several kilos of salt for pinching but an ideation to practice and not scoff.
Only two people in this world have been exposed to the scope of my dreaming, the wife and me. One of the first things we ask of a morning is, “did you have any dreams?” There have been occasions when our dreams are fairly synchronised. She has predicted things happening for me. Her dreams pertain more to time, whereas mine are “out there”.
In one school of thought I belong to the south, the place of dreams with a predilection for dreaming. My secondary predilection is philosophy.
I have always had a strong ability to construct abstract and complex visualisations, which I can animate in my consciousness.
I’ll speculate that I am kind of a melting pot, a cauldron if you like, in which these thought streams are synthesised into a whole.
I like using rhetorical questions, what is wrong with that?
Well people often mistake my questions for soul searching angst. I already have the “answers” {to my satisfaction}. The questions are meant to stimulate thought.
I am allergic to adamant assertion; it is a short cut away from thought and is behind much of the polarisation and cleavage in the world today. People die because others assert.
To expect others to be interested in an opus of dreams is likely to result in disappointment. The “not invented here syndrome” dominates the human psyche. And besides people need to make a living somehow.
Life for us is very simple and we live isolated on our compound with little contact to/with the outside world. This is in stark contrast when juxtaposed with the content of my passive nocturnal dreams….
Everyone is busy, caught up in their hectic FOMO dramas. Only two people in the world are likely to be interested in this exercise of dream study … …
