just wondering if others were having same problems,it's as if i were being tossed around by waves in a storm and at other times it's smooth sailing in calm water. much of this i know has to do with time speeding up and having to make so many course corrections and at the same time intergrating new information at it keeps downloading more and more rapidly. i was allowing my intution to lead me to something that would assist me in finding the center when i came upon this artcle. it talks about looking at what we percieve as reality as a dream, for whatever reason that made we feel more calm and feel more centered. so i hope for others it will help as well. thanks donald

teachings \ time to wake up
paul levy
to quote the great doctor of the soul. c. g. jung, "occasionally reality is quite as archetypal as human fantasy, and sometimes the soul seems to 'imagine things outside the body,' where they fall to playing as they do in our dreams." we are living in a time in which the deeper archetypal, mythic patterns underlying human consciousness are incarnating themselves through us and thereby becoming visible so as to be seen and integrated. we are living in a moment in which we, as a species, are being asked to recognize our active participation and responsibility in calling forth what is happening in our world. it is as if this universe is symbolically reflecting back to us that we are all collaboratively dreaming up our world together, and that the simple waking up to this fact is the very act that resolves our collective world crisis.
something profound becomes revealed when our current world situation is viewed as if it is a dream that we are all collaboratively dreaming up into materialization together. seen as a 'mass shared dream,' this universe is recognized to be speaking to us not literally but symbolically, which is the language of dreams. seeing the universe as a dream allows the universe to resume its revelatory function and wake us up. seeing this universe as a dream immediately transforms it to be more dreamlike, as this universe is nothing other than an embodied reflection of our own consciousness projected outside of ourselves.
to see the symbolic dimension of existence is to not be fully immersed in the literal interpretation of reality, but rather to recognize that there is a deeper pattern that underlies what is playing out in our world. seeing symbolically doesn't negate the literal dimension of reality but rather complements and completes it. the literal and symbolic interpenetrate each other so fully that they are inseparable parts of a greater whole. what manifests literally in and as the 'real world' is simultaneously expressing the symbolic. and the symbolic aspect of reality is at the same time potentially affecting the literal. this means that the way to accomplish lasting change in this world, literally, is through awareness of the symbolic dimension. this is why jung spent his whole life fighting for the "reactivation of symbolic thinking."
awakening to the dreamlike nature of reality, or the symbolic dimension of existence is to realize that events in our world are actually lower level shadows or reflections of a higher-dimensional reality. what is playing out on the world stage is an expression of a deeper process that we have gotten drafted into and is acting itself out through us. there is a deeper process that is incarnating itself through us, and it is expressing and revealing itself symbolically.
