The Matrix

[Through My Shadow]

Image from Sin City

Last night's dreams were very odd but awesome. The first one started on top of a really high building at night. Everything looked comic book styled, almost like Sin City. It was known that aliens were attacking the city. Yet people were resisting valiantly. Two warriors were beside me as a UFO hovered up from below. Willing to fight and die, they took a primitive item and ran toward the edge of the building. One guy stopped and threw his. The other guy jumped off the side while throwing it at the UFO. The UFO resembled a B-2 "Spirit" Stealth Bomber. The man relaxed his body as he fell, knowing he was gonna die. His body hit the edge of the UFO which sent him spinning fast and violently as he fell.



The second dream was set during the day on top of the tallest building I had ever stood on, perhaps the tallest in the world. I stared over the edge, seeing the street below. My legs felt like jello. That weak legged feeling you get when you're up high. I realized I was dreaming. Then I challenged myself. What if I tried to overcome my fear and just jump off of this building? Question this 'reality' and surrender to gravity and imminent death. I geared myself up to do it. Looking down, still with the jello legs, I jumped. I was falling fast and the intensity of the fall grew. People usually wake up from a dream with this much intensity but I stayed asleep. I don't remember anything else halfway down. I went to another dream.

Again, I was on top of another building, not quite as high, standing in the center away from the edge. Next thing I see is a guy run and jump off the side. The theme of suicide was not known in these dreams. It was almost like a challenge to that 'alternate reality.' To do anything I want just to see what will happen. On the edge of being a lucid dream.

Interpretation: Lately I've looked into Scientology and what the so-called religion or organization is all about. It was founded by a guy who wrote Sci-Fi for a living. Without going into all the details, I've found nothing but terrible things about Scientology. That it operates more like a business than a religion. When one digs deeper, one finds ridiculous Sci-Fi elements. Perhaps my findings influenced the dream. Also a video that I saw on YouTube. It's a video showing protesters in front of a Church of Scientology in Orlando, Florida. They are holding 'Honk if you hate Scientology' signs.

The first dream could be a parallel to the protesters. These protesters (people on the roof) willing to fight an evil organization (COS) or what the UFO could symbolize. The other two dreams could be similar to The Matrix in that I was inside of it but realizing it. A simulated world. I've read and seen video of an organization called 'Anonymous.' They are a group of elite computer hackers that have attacked the Church of Scientology in the virtual realm. Revealing and spreading documents and information on the internet that the so-called church has kept secret from its members and everyone. Their ultimate goal is to bring down the Church of Scientology or at least bring them to a point where they admit all their wrongdoings and deceptions to its members and become open about everything.

I don't want those facts to alter anyone's interpretation. It's entirely possible that these dreams could be telling me something completely different. Something I'm not seeing or ignoring. The second dream could be as simple as me challenging my courage in the face of fear and death.

Well I believe that dreams can sometimes be premonitions or telepathy. Thats because I have experienced possible dreams like that. But I am also aware that dreams can work on many levels.

I believe I know quite a bit about dreams yet I also know its quite a tricky subject. Explaining a dream ain't easy. Its oftenb guesswork. I could not put my hand on my heart that such and such a dream has a certain explanation. The deam mind is not terribly cooperative in explaining its meanings. It seemingly does not care if a dream is interpreted correctly.

I do tend to agree with your interpretation. After all you are best placed to explain your own dreams. You use a similar method to myself. You look to the meaning of dreams within yourself and your own mind. In such circumstances I would not tend to try to explain your dream. You know best.

It is a very abstract dream and your explanation seems valid. The awareness I agree with. Its mimicing your own realisation. Also the sci fi leads onto bad things. Peo[ple jumping off buildings. Its all a bit crazy - similar perhaps to your own feelings about scientology.

You can never truly interpret a dream. BUt for such an asbstract dream its as good an explanation as you would get.

Personally I place a great deal of emphasis on the day before any dream. Thats important.Was this issue especially vivid in your mind. Did some new insights appear at about this time about scientology.
------------------------
Many people write dream diaries. But actually it would be better if they wrote a normal diary. A diary is basically the highlights of the previous day and the things that are important to you. Dreams are exactly the same. Once understood they would symbolize those key moments and turning points in your feelings. So instead of interpreting the dreams try first to guess what the most likely issues are that you would dream about. Think of exactly the same things that you would write in a diary. Once decoded the dreams would symbolize exactly what you think on the key subjects dominating your mind. Think of quotes that capture your feelings such as "my father seems very quiet. I think that something is very wrong. He often starts going quiet when something happens". You may not be able to understand the exact nature of the symbols.

Your own views about your dreams seem competent interpretations; I was thinking that you had read too many of Frank Miller's books when you mentioned Sin City! I was visualising Marv and Dwight in Basin City and the UFOs being over Kitsap County. Once you explained your recent interests the dreams and their likely meanings became more evident. Incidentally, Scientology is not the only corrupt religion and it is not the only one that conceals the truth from the laity. I am glad to see that you are awakening from your dream.
