Paradise Tennant: hiya ewan
stevenaia Michinaga: Ewan dissappeared
Archmage Atlantis: dis apper ated
Paradise Tennant: smiles dreams are a great topic
stevenaia Michinaga: I often think as sometimes they appear to be premonitions , that they may be touching another nearby universe, then thye make sence to me
Paradise Tennant: nods
Paradise Tennant: yes
Paradise Tennant: lots of reality we do not perceive our senses really limit us
stevenaia Michinaga: isomething dificult to prove, ofcourse
Archmage Atlantis: Our cats, they are old, .....other cats have been born and died in the time they stay with us
stevenaia Michinaga: I think, for me dreams occur along with great current or future change
stevenaia Michinaga: I often do not remember having dreams for months, as things ccan be very stable
Paradise Tennant: hardly ever remember my dreams .. always think when I do . it is really special somehow :)
stevenaia Michinaga: when I kept a dream journal, in my long ago past it was when I had moved and was living alone , the first time in a very long time
stevenaia Michinaga: and I woke myself up in the middle of the night right after I had a dream, wrote and wrote, then went back to sleep, some of it was pages of bearly ledgeable thoughts
Paradise Tennant: hmm
stevenaia Michinaga: yet the imagrey was vivid
Paradise Tennant: interesting feature of dreams as they often do not make .. much sense it is like a parade of images
stevenaia Michinaga: yes, Play as Dream
stevenaia Michinaga: Dream as a Play
Archmage Atlantis: Ignate, aswam. cum beilllll is givn
stevenaia Michinaga: someone in the "other place" reaches in your mind and creatss a script with the pieces you have laying around up there
Archmage Atlantis: like that?
Paradise Tennant: smiles maybe
stevenaia Michinaga: yes, sometimes it is not understandable
Paradise Tennant: they are a kind of mental reflection of images there .our minds as mirrors say
stevenaia Michinaga: and a very distorted mirror at times
--BELL--
Paradise Tennant: well
Paradise Tennant: often in our rational or supposedly rational day to day world ..there are huge distortions of reality :) that we ignore because we do not perceive them ..
stevenaia Michinaga: if they are distortions of reality, aren't they just reality?
Paradise Tennant: hmm yes
Paradise Tennant: i need to rephrase
Paradise Tennant: often what we perceive hugely distorts reality ..our perceptions are skewed
Archmage Atlantis: reality cannot be distorted........only our perseption can be distorted
stevenaia Michinaga: nods
stevenaia Michinaga: two prople looking at the same thing often do not se the same thing
Paradise Tennant: yes
Archmage Atlantis: The elephant

Paradise Tennant: I find alot of moments in my day dream like
Archmage Atlantis: As do I
Ewan Bonham: Perhaps we ar always in a dream.
Ewan Bonham: Perhaps the real world is what we call Heaven
stevenaia Michinaga: interesting that you can take a topic like time and Being, whch have no physical form that we know of and have many prople produce images of that very subject... it;s like drawing smell or listening to a photograph
--BELL--
Paradise Tennant: smiles
Ewan Bonham: Perhaps for us, the truth is what we call a dream
stevenaia Michinaga: at times it can me
Archmage Atlantis: I have a 19 yo cat sleeping by my keyboard.......I would never imagined that 19 years ago
Ewan Bonham: Or perhaps the truth is our discovery of Heaven on earth, so to speak
stevenaia Michinaga: I ahve a 10 yr old cat who does that, So I should expect this to continue for the next 9 years?
Paradise Tennant: would love to be able to ask a 19 cat ..what he or she thinks is true .. :)
stevenaia Michinaga: heaven, what dos that mean, iis it religious for you or just a place with clouds?
Archmage Atlantis: to expect is not to be
Ewan Bonham: I mean a place where we see only beauty in others.
Paradise Tennant: hmm start at the end!
stevenaia Michinaga: happens more here for me than in dreams
Paradise Tennant: you visualize everyone at their full development . almost their enlightened self and treat them as such :)
Ewan Bonham: Yes
Paradise Tennant: their is a buddhist practise that recommends that
Paradise Tennant: smiles
stevenaia Michinaga: nor seeming the beauty take much more effort for me
stevenaia Michinaga: not*
Paradise Tennant: makes for happy personal relationships
Archmage Atlantis: Well, he just got up to go potty
