Hi Steve

No substance abuse the night before.

(which is rare for me! heheheh)
No need to feel you're being skeptical as I'm not claiming anything here. It's simply a dream... You pose a lot of interesting and thoughtful questions. I appreciate your rationale behind it. You're right, the inner world can be a tricky thing to understand.
I log my dreams here so as to reinfornce... I type way better then I write and if you don't mind I like to use your forum as an archive of sorts so I can go back and recall what I've written.
Being able to recall I think helps with those lucid dreams as well out of body experiences. In this case I would definitely say we're more in the dream side but even so there's something I'm sure that can be said and learned from all of this for my own well being.
Now there are dreams that feel more significant then others... In this dream, the feeling of floating up was beautiful... The person teaching me at the end was also very interesting...
My interest in sufism came to me in a dream as well. This is a nice outlet and escape from the every day life... So as long as ya'll don't mind I'll chime in every so often with my interest =) And I appreciate the feedback in return!
Cheers!
Yea we don't always have to have a reason for doing things. Sometimes we just do them. We may understand later why and we may not. But as a creative being it is good to recognize that often things just happen. That is enough. There is a lot of spontaniety that happens between you and i Eric. i happen to think that is why we have become such good friends over the years. i like it when you call and fool me on the line, or you just call out of the blue, or you just post something with no specific purpose. Its all good and works towards a closer friendship. Sometimes i feel lonely or just like i want to talk with someone and then you come along!!
