For quite some time the idea of using lucid dreaming as a way to further my Dhamma practice has been an attractive idea to me. Yet, Ii have never found a teaching or approach that had worked for me. Lately, however, I have been reading a book by B Allan Wallace which is giving me real hope that Iwill be able to succeed in my attempts. As such, itis necessary for me to keep a dream journal in order to further my practice. My apologies to everyone for putting this blog to use as adream journal alongside its main aim of being a place for Dhamma reflection but, in some strange way, it all seems to fit to me. So, without further ado I’ll begin.
I can only remember fragments of last night’s dream at this point but the one image which stands out clearly in my mind is that of a old, wooden door with a gifted glass label and the word “Joo” written across it in large, black vinyl letters in something like Comic Sans typeface. I remember, too, that one of my employees Gary was there and had commented about the library and how it had something to do with Jews.
No apologies needed! I love to hear about dreams. I used to record my dreams religiously and was able to dream lucidly from time to time. Your post inspires me to pick up that practice again. My dreams were so vivid and detailed that it would take forever to write everything down; maybe I can find a way to abbreviate it…I would like to pick up my dream work again. Thanks for the post!
