[Note: I'm not sure I had this dream last night, but I just remembered it, so I either had it last night or in the past few days.]There is a little boy with blonde hair sitting on the floor in front of a television. He is watching the cartoon series called "He-Man". I sit behind him and say to him, "I used to watch this cartoon when I was a kid."
[Note: I watched this cartoon all the time as a kid. I even had lots of He-Man toys.]

Hi Stacey,
I left you a comment in one of your previous blogs.
HE Man dreams... Personally that was my favourite character too. I think that character and arnold were my personal inspirations in the physique arena.
Anyways... According to Sigmund Frued Dreams extract their source from our memory. Sometimes dreams are wish-fulfilments, may be absurd or just a raw recollection but directed by the mind or brain activity that we are not controlling.
May be its a symbolic dream expressing feelings of you maturity comparing to your childhood or some child. Or just a rush of memory by the new you who is so distinct, mature and wants to see the past with passion.
Good that you have normal dreams. My dreams are wierd, long, unconnected, calcuative, problem solving and guess what... appears in the short sleep of 2 1/2 hrs.
Catch you later.
Bye.

Hi Vino,
Yes, I'd say of all the cartoon characters I've ever seen in my life, He-Man had the best physique. :)
From what you say it sounds like I'm comparing my life now to the time when I was a child. Life then was so simple and secure. I can dream of being a child again and feeling that security once more, but then if I were a child, I wouldn't know what I know now... which isn't a lot... but I hope much more than back then. :)
It sounds like your dream work is coming along very well. I am anticipating your book!
I think the dream means you want to have kids...but what do I know??
Hi Blow'n,
Hmm... that's a good question. The problem with it is, maybe the answer to the question is "yes", but my problem is that I like knowing things. If I were to pick between simple/secure and knowing, I think I'd pick knowing.
What would you pick?
Zen Wizard,
That's a very good guess. Sometimes I think about wanting to have children, but maybe part of me is too afraid. I love children, especially other people's children. :) I just think of so many negative things when it comes to children. Will I be a good mother? Am I grown-up enough to have them? Will the world come to an end while they're still alive? So basically, I have silly little worries that probably have no foundation whatsoever.
Blow'n,
The world is a puzzle. I agree with you that we are born with this Knowledge. And then there is the acquired knowledge that our vehicles accumulate over time. This new accumulated knowledge seems to overwrite the innate knowledge, yet our vehicles need this new knowledge to survive in the "world". If our vehicles could not survive, we would not have the necessary time to figure out the real Knowledge.
What was your first step in attempting to unravel the acquired knowledge in order to start to remember the innate Knowledge?
Hi Blow'n,
I don't know what to say about all this new acquired knowledge. I think originally, there was the innate Knowledge, which probably correlated equally with Love. With the acquiring of the new knowledge, we distanced ourselves from this old Knowledge - and therefore Love - hence what we have to show for this new knowledge are wars, evil, hatred, destruction, etc. It's definitely only managed to serve the ego.
I might be in big trouble, then. My ego is like a blood-sucking tick that has attached itself to me and won't let go. Its prominent characteristic is a need to know things. It likes to wander around examining things, figuring things out, asking questions, learning.... and maybe that's only getting in the way of the big task at hand - unravelling all of this "learning". Maybe I'm doing the one thing I should not be doing.
But let me ask you, how else should we fulfill our time on this "planet", in this "world", if we do not do such things? Can we sit around doing nothing? How will our egos learn job skills in order to feed the vehicle which allows the Self time to reacquaint itself?
Blow'n, will you answer this for me.... Do you stop yourself from learning new things? Do you keep yourself from reading books? Aren't both of the above only adding to the dirt that has buried the real Knowledge?
I wanted to be big, muscled, and hairy when I was a kid.
I wanted to be a bodybuilder.
But it didn't materialize.
I still look the same. Only older.
Now that I am older I want to look like an angel. And maybe I still look like an angel.
Blow'n,
Does anyone know for sure how much time it takes to reacquaint oneself with the Self? Doesn't it vary for everyone? An old man might become enligtened at 95 while a young boy could become enlightened at 15. In the old man's case, it took 95 years!
If we got free food and shelter, we could afford to remain still and focus on becoming enlightened, but that's not how it is. We have to work, and keep ourselves busy, or else we'd go hungry and die, never having had the time to finally become enlightened.
I'd say that what we are "surviving" is the time it takes to finally reach enlightenment.
Pollux,
I wish I could say that I'm happy with the way I look. There was a time when I wanted to become a model, and I worked on it and had a couple of minor experiences. This happened when I was just beginning college. Then, as college went on, I became more interested in my education than I did my looks. Now, it seems almost as if I've let my looks go completely. I can't lie and say I don't care, because I do, but I've found that there are more important things in life than the way a person looks. Your heart will always be more beautiful than the most pretty of faces. Remember that. :)
