I seem to have an increased interest in dreams since Brother Eric has such an amazing ability at remembering dreams in detail…. They appear to be a driving force in his spiritual evolution and quite often nightly revels. I will say this about dreams; they take up about one third of our 24 hours day. So what are  we doing during this time?

Tonight, I was attempting to get something done for the last couple hours, but found myself somewhat distracted by the fact that my body needed rest from the day’s activities. Yet I still attempted to meditate but sleep got the best of me. During sleeping I appeared to me at some peoples house where I was staying. They had three cars. I was attempting to communicate with them. But the two that appeared to own the house, left suddenly and unexpectedly. As the third one left the property I mentioned to him I was going to ride the bike to a place called Southland Village. But he seemed to not think that it was a good idea since I had not communicated the idea to the others who had already left. I felt rather dejected and confused about the whole matter, before waking from the dream. As is often the case in such dreams of little frustrations, I gratefully wake up when they occur.

I remember as a child, actually taking countless bike rides to a place called Southland Village. If I did not go that way sometimes I would go north towards a larger town, which was a much farther ride. I guess you would say, that the dream revealed childhood memories but also a little possessiveness that I’ve noticed about people who have ownership issues. I remember as a child having a beautiful green bicycle, not sure why all these flashbacks came back to me upon waking. I think dreams often are put together from fragments of past memories and also show some frustrations, we may have to be worked out in our consciousness.
