Several time a week I have dreams that are more than just dreams. In my sleep, beyond the dream state I go to a place that is not a dream , but rather it is a place that is populated by others who are not myself dressed in various actor's clothing, they are individuals who have come to this place in their sleep, just like I do.

Think about it. Have you been there? I would think that you have.

Hi PM... thank you for your thought/memory-provoking response. I consider it a great kindness for you to share your deep personal experience here, which I sense has brought you beyond the 'common' world's insights. Yes, I have certainly experienced many types, categories, qualities of dreams. Some are real in a deeper way than the reality of the waking state, and have more to 'say' about the latter's essential nature, seemingly. I have been to places very like the meeting place you describe! Others are clearly at a different level, and in those I can later see that all of the characters are played by different parts of my 'self,' usually archetypal in nature. At what I so far consider the deepest level that I have known, it is hardly dream-like at all, to my ability to tell... more like light or blackest velvet.... with an accompanying sense of stillness, travel, or broad perspective and wordless insight. I'll look for you at the meeting grounds. And what's funny is, I've never seen your picture but have a sense of you in my head that makes me feel as though I'd recognize you. So good to hear from you!
I have seen your picture (though somewhat obstructed) on your profile on F2K, plus the one associated with your email. So I suppose you are at somewhat of a disadvantage in not seeing mine while keeping an eye out for each other in the "ethereal" meeting ground. Yet, would even seeing each others picture assist us in recognition if the face we might show comes from our hearts and minds, rather than from those that we carry through this mortal coil?
Precisely so, PM. I think it makes not a whit of difference... the heart is the GPS of the dream meet ... and watches matter not at all, as a lifetime may be lived in a 'day,' all taking place in a 2 minute span. I will meet you there, most assuredly. When? I know not. But for sure(!) in the fullness of past, present, and future.
