Quotes about Dreaming

The only dream worth having, I told her, is to dream that you will live while you're alive and die only when you're dead.

It is not until you awaken and become fully present that you will realize that you have not been present. It is not until you awaken that you will realize you have been asleep, dreaming that you are awake.

Each of us has an inner dream that we can unfold if we will just have the courage to admit what it is. And the faith to trust our own admission. The admitting is often very difficult.

No one should negotiate their dreams. Dreams must be free to fly high. No government, no legislature, has a right to limit your dreams. You should never agree to surrender your dreams.

It is easy to imagine fantasy as physical and myth as real. We do it almost every moment. We do this as we dream, as we think, and as we cope with the world about us. But these worlds of fantasy that we form into the solid things around us are the source of our discontent. They inspire our search to find ourselves.

Now don't think that awakening is the end. Awakening is the end of seeking, the end of the seeker, but it is the beginning of a life lived from your true nature.

If we cannot reliably interpret the ringing of an alarm clock in a dream, how can we hope to perceive Truth?

At home I dream of former houses I've lived in, of finding rooms I didn't know were there. Many friends have told me that they, too, have this dream.

If I were asked to name the chief benefit of the home, I should say: the house shelters daydreaming, the house protects the dreamer, the house allows one to dream in peace.

In "The Dreammaker's Apprentice", Arny Mindell says

"...I also know for sure that without dreams, we would have no sense of relativity about our consensus reality.  We need dreams and the Dreaming to observe the everyday world.  Likewise, without consensus reality and dreams, Dreaming could never know itself.  Life would be simply a constant flow.  Perhaps there would only be God-intoxicated states, and no "one" to appreciate these states of being.  Perhaps the Dreammaker loves creating individual dream parts, life forms, people and objects, to know Itself in infinite detail and endless permutations.

In any case, Dreaming creates personality.  Every moment something is dreaming you up by marginalizing the unitary world, making you feel as if there is a you, and everything else is not you or nonexistent.  Dreaming, the Aboriginal Dreamtime, gets marginalized.  And then you can only imagine yourself to be this single, solitary person.

However, if you meditate and expand your awareness, you notice that, actually, you and all "your" thoughts are not created by you.  You know that you arise, you are created, and your thoughts arise.  Suddenly you get the impression that Dreaming is the real thing, not you!  You are an illusion created by Dreaming and Its temporary marginization of everything else as not-you.  That is why I am saying that to understand anything about yourself, and especially about your dreams, you need access to Dreaming and to that grand incomprehensible essence, the Dreammaker.  This cosmic intelligence that makes me think I'm a person by forgetting itself...."

Why dream at all if you can't dream big?
Cos when it is incredible, then are you really dreaming.

Do not assume that divine guidance flows only when you are in need of help.  Guidance continues to flow whether or not you have problems.  It transcends problems, heartbreaks, and traumas, flowing through dreams and illuminations.... Whether guidance comes during times of tranquility or trauma, however, it is up to you to have the courage to acknowledge it....

As we press upon one another with our intentions, From our hearts fly luminous butterflies, That intermingle and crossover to be absorbed. In abeyance our hearts await.

If you can keep your head when all about you
   Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
   But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
   Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
   And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream -- and not make dreams your master;
   If you can think -- and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
   And treat those two imposters just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
   Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
   And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
   And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
   And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
   To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
   Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
   Or walk with Kings -- nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
   If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
   With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
   And -- which is more -- you'll be a Man, my son!

Give of yourself,

 except for that which weakens you.

Accept what is given,

By following "the path of reverie"--a constantly downhill path--consciousness relaxes and wanders--and consequently becomes clouded. So it is never the right time, when one is dreaming, to "do phenomenology."
