a loved one Bernardo RIS, on this one, he says, I really liked this guy a lot. He's a pretty bright guy. And he says one of the one of the contexts where this comes from and I suspect you may have got it from that are me riffing on him. Is it if we were to somehow actually perceive and our physical body reality as it really is, we would dissolve into an entropic soup. I just love that phrase. But anyway, yes, the infinite mind the finite mind dissolves into Infinite Spirit. That's what Buddhism is called the Dharma TA. Fast and tropic can connect to all living beings absolutely positively. Is this how dead monks are able to give teachings and dreams? Yes, for sure. And as my dear friend Bob Thurman talks about there are no dead people. I love this with Bob. I love his languaging this guy is just amazing. He just says point blank and Bob is is effing brilliant, right? He basically says there there are no dead people. So there are no dead monks. The monk is just a is just pinched awareness just like we are. And so when you drop this costume, like you know, one day when she dies, he's gonna drop his puppy costume. And who knows he might take a human costume on mosquito costume. I dropped this human costume I might take on a puppy custom. So this is why I have to be really nice to my dog because if I'm not we could switch places. And if I'm not nice to him, he's gonna repeat the favor when we switch places. So the idea you know, tongue in cheek, this is all like whatever goofy metaphysics or whatever. But the fundamental principles underlying this are actually quite elegant and quite profound and exploring this and in tremendous detail. This is a big deal thing. So this is what the Bardo teachings. I mean, they riff on this stuff a ton. And so Patrick involved with your question here, the three four questions you have in here is a ton of really profound things. But perhaps the take home message with what you're saying for me is realizing the interconnectivity, the kind of connective tissue of all beings, that with a realization of emptiness, everything is possible. This is where miracles come from. This is where all the wonderful things that all the wisdom traditions talk about it seem completely ridiculous from a materialistic point. They only become not only become possible, they become completely tenable. They it's almost inevitable. So I'm going to let that go because otherwise we're going to rip the entire time on that one. It's a really great set of questions. Okay. So here's a couple more that came in though Okay. Ah, all right. So this one really literally just came in. Hi, I'm so excited to be here. Having just discovered you through your fascinating 10% happier Interview with Dan Harris. Well, thank you for that. I really had fun with him. He's a very gifted interviewer. I've been looking for answers to my nightly nightmares for years, I used to be a lucid dreamer. And remember many Recurrent Dreams from My lifetime. Cool. I'm gonna write a little commentary as I go through this because it's a little bit long. Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche says playfully and it makes a lot of sense to me. Recurrent Dreams mean you're not a good listener. Unless you have something like PTSD. I would actually maybe challenge a little bit that thing. PTSD, or trauma itself is a different league. But most of the time when we have over the counter Recurrent Dreams is because the letters aren't being opened and read like what did Freud say an uninterpreted dream is like an open letter. So you're not opening the letter. You're not reading it, you're not getting it and so the postman keeps delivering it. And you know, just keeps coming back, coming back until you get it. And Recurrent Dreams can be very effective for working with dream signs very effective for cultivating lucidity. itself. Back to you. In my most recent nightmare. I remember that I volunteer to look after a toddler and a baby with a very dark skin and to my horror I realized I hadn't checked on them for ages. And I couldn't find them. I remember when I last hugged them or changed their nappies and fed them. The background of the dream was a lot of other chaos of me having too many responsibilities and trying to work as a photographer. My job in real life cool. But having many hurdles and many people around me wanting different things. Yeah, like Welcome to the stressful modern age, right. My main feeling was a sense of impending doom is really common, unfortunately. And a questioning of my true self. How could I do such a thing as neglect these babies? It seemed my whiteness played a part that I was devastated about to the themes of the dream are consistent with my normal dreaming life. I wake feeling exhausted from relentless obstacles and traveling and a sense of impending failure in my real life. I'm this age with this particular family situation, or do yoga, meditation, all the things but at night, it's the same every night. Okay, so there's not a question here, but maybe you're wanting a little bit of just commentary on this. Yeah, you know, dreams are truth tellers. It's psychological arenas, it's psychological levels and spiritual levels. I mean, the moniker for Dream Yoga for instance, is the measure of the path. So they measure you, they reveal you and sometimes we don't want to be so reveal. And so in terms of like, maybe like what to do with all that, well, there's one is if you really want to understand and interpret this dream, then approach it from that lens and there's so many different schools of interpretation you need in depth psychology. Fantastic. I particularly like Eugene Gremlins book called let your body interpret your dream. So you can gain a deep understanding of what this recurrent dream may be. Signifying, representing, by striving, write the dream down, write it down, date it, title it, circle or highlight all the recurrent features, and then start to suss it out. Start to work with it. Robert moss has some really interesting things to say about this sort of thing. That some of these dreams it's like, it's like he says in his languaging, he says, My recent interview with him by the way, an edge of mine, you can hear him say it as my recent. He says it's like the gods want to make you sweat. They don't want to make the dream this easy and accessible for interpretation. So you have to work with it. You have to work at it. Sometimes I have dreams like this where I'll actually incubate another dream to help you understand one or I will talk to my dream friends elite, not elite but veteran, experienced dreamers, as my advisors, you know, helped me understand this sort of thing. So that's one thing again, that may be of interest to us, like what does that really represent? What's What does it mean? And then in terms of like purifying it or working with it, this can be done through stress management, you talk about yoga, meditation and things like that. But sometimes yoga meditation doesn't get at this stuff. This one type of spiritual bypass. That happens a lot in the community. It's like all my meditation will handle everything. Oh, my yoga will handle everything. I don't think so. Doesn't seem to work that way. So I roll in an integral world I think that the psychotherapeutic approach is depth psychology. This stuff has a real place on the path of human psycho spiritual development. I would not hesitate for a second to work with a skip a gifted therapist, to help unfold unpack some of these things. And to resolve some of these underlying discords because when you're having this, there's some dissonance, there's some rub, there's something that's not quite right. And your body is sending up constantly, just sending up this vibe. And until that vibe is is somewhat processed, purified, released, and I keep having it. So again, there's no over quantity, but that I would, I would look into therapeutic capacities like depth psychology, or someone who works with this more explicitly. And then terms of dream interpretation, not classically part of Dream Yoga, Dream Yoga, doesn't care about that kind of thing. But that doesn't dismiss it from a psychological point of view. So unless you're here and want to ask a specific, I'll let that go because there's a specific question there. So one last one, and then we'll open it up. I think everybody. For Marie, this one also just came in how do we go back into a dream a night later? Do we simply set the intent and fall asleep thinking about it? Yeah, that's by far the easiest way to go about it. I mean, allegedly, was Descartes allegedly derived some of the main principles of his Cartesian philosophy, through a dream, a dream, contiguous dream that he happened to have had, I think, three nights in a row. I have not had this type of type of him but I know a number of people who have, how do we do it? What you're saying is by far by the best in terms of my understanding, you set the intentionality I want to go back into that dream. I want to pick up that thread I want to develop it.
