Orthodox mainstream science is not fond of the notions of paranormal, ESP, telepathy, parapsychology, occult, tarot, ghosts and things that go bump in the night. They may be sceptical about reincarnation and see dreams just as dreams. To err into the non-accepted is career threatening. It can evoke a ridicule. It is OK to be homosexual but homeopathy is frowned upon. I will wager that any person keen to soap-box about the lack of ghosts and ghoulies will be more likely to shit themselves in a haunted house than I. They are also more likely to call forth the wrath of any entity.
Reincarnation as per the Dalai Lama is global news today!! Many are very sceptical about this. It is a geo-political issue, however.
If you take the opus of my dreams published here as an entirety and offer them to a psychology professional, what might they make of them? What theories, explanations and guesses might they come up with? I’ll speculate that even the most imaginative and resourceful psychologist would struggle to come up with a congruent and global explanation from within the accepted “scientific” approaches.
I would love to see and hear someone attempt.
Today’s dream can be seen as another piece of the jigsaw pertaining, in this case, to my most recent incarnation, “pony-tail” man. My rough time line suggests around 200-250 years ago. In no dream have I seen anything convenient like a newspaper! Nor did I meet Doc Brown in a DeLorean. I could not look at an LED display to see the year.
Genuine past life recall is probably not that common, wishful thinking however might be…
As an erstwhile “clever” scientist I should be attempting to debunk my own dreams. Clearly, I am a traitor and a turncoat. Maybe I am no longer “clever”.
In the dream in which I was shot, there was no fear of being executed. Because I knew that I was dreaming and I also knew that the younger man in the dream survived, because of an earlier dream. Many might wake up in a cold sweat after being handcuffed and shot. I was quiet relaxed.
Quite why I am dreaming Tarot and civil / independence war is yet to be seen. Dreaming takes its time, it happens as and when it is meant to do. Interacting with the dreaming for goal oriented people can be very frustrating because there are no bullet pints or objectives. It can fry their “minds” which is an altogether welcome thing. You cannot control the dreaming nor set the pace. Dreaming can be uncomfortable for those obsessed with trying to control every aspect of their lives.
A clever scientist might say, “they are just dreams Alan!”
Someone of a more spiritual or religious orientation might confer more importance. Most religions have dreams as a part of their hagiography and narrative….
