THEMES
There was a sense of community that pervaded the matrix, many attended or expressed a wish to attend every matrix in this series. An expression about the different quality of listening in this matrix, people associating in and with song, both sung and quoted in the matrix itself which also emerged in the processing session with the hosts.
The different qualities of listening to different accents and different cultural backgrounds which could well influence what one hears. It is a source of possible misunderstandings. (Examples in bold in the transcription)
The collapse of time was mentioned with people encountering the matrix in the week following, either by hearing news items that correlated with dreams, or having actual experiences in reality that mirrored the dream contents. The idea of Dream as Reality Check.
- Brown eyes blue (song)
- Price of kissing the penis
- Singing–bold expression of life comes to an end
- When we engage in person, trouble, conflict, war emerges
- Stronger power; need to create an imposition in order to feel freedom
- Came late to matrix—freedom to come and go
DREAM REFLECTIONS DIALOGUE: SDM #15
- Head is spinning as if all the matrices were in this one
- Recurring genesis story; underlying sense of being lied to; where do we find truth?
- Bold expressions of life; creativity; truth; truth often repressed; hard to allow it to be here to be expressed
- Morality; trees and stones here before us
- Building quite shiny; quite a switching point
- Tavistock Institute > life > tree
- Genesis; creativity and Sodoma and Gomorra, people turned into stones for sexual misconduct; do we dare to come back alive? COVID/Pandemic perceived as punishment; presence of much more social, embodied world, a social dilemma
- Courage—woman kissing penis; snakes—touching the untouchable
- Fear of primal scene—need bold expression
DREAM REFLECTIONS DIALOGUE: Series as a whole:
- A bit like music—street noise, different accents, beautiful
- Powerful community—far away yet close; someone who has been here is ill—heart is breaking.
- Came to all of them to see what might have happened—membership has been steady; wondered what individuals would say; value of diversity; acutely aware of accents, diversity.
- Belonging to community or not; found out late and joined the 5th or 6th; not being completely here. Punishment—always felt questioned and on the verge of being here.
- Themes stay with you; same themes came into the London group on Fridays. Some themes emerged in the matrix and then in the news; intimacy in sharing; so awkward on Zoom.
- Social Dreaming as a reality check.
- What was comfortable was looking at the dream, not the dreamer; don’t know what you said and that is nice.
- Belonging to a powerful setting in a shelter—social dreaming.
- Appeared playful—free associations are a special language.
- Never did social dreaming before and did the whole series; important to join every week. Clairvoyant. So intimate because we are a group. What might happen in the future? Some aspect will continue in parallel.
- Dreams were talking to each other—how they were feeling, engaged in passionate purpose; boldness—enjoyed opportunity..
