The Art of Dreaming, 1997 CD
CI003 Although every person dreams every
night and so spends a large amount of his lifetime dreaming or at least
sleeping we still know very little about this extraordinary state of
consciousness. Recent results of the sleep and dream research indicate
that Sigmund Freud´s classic dream theory can only be considered as a partly
access to this matter and must be reviewed in many aspects. In addition to
sequences of everyday life, the desires or subconscious fears and problems
there are still many features of dreams concerning the content as well as the
quality with unknown origin and meaning. In the Greek Antique, the dream was
interpreted as oracle and prophecy. Several ethnic cultures, associate
dreams with sociological and metaphysical significance, such as Senoi,
Aboriginees, Huichol, Tolteks, Egyptians - to name only a few. In the
european occult tradition dreams - especially lucid dreams- had an esoteric
meaning as a starting point for astral journeys. All cultures share the
concept of the dream as a gate to different worlds - worlds that are created
while sleeping or that might exist independently of the dreamer? We all know
the flood of changing impressions, landscapes and emotional states occuring
in dreams. Corresponding to our name CHANGING IMAGES, we musically
interpreted it... Martin (1997) 
Dreamphilosophy
We just came Dreaming can only be experienced. Because dreaming
does not simply mean to have dreams; nor can it be related to daydreams or
desires. With the dreaming we can percieve different worlds, that we are even
able to describe, but we cannot describe what enables us to percieve them.
Yet we notice that the dreaming reveals those other spheres. Dreaming seems
to be a perception, a process within the body, a mental gain of
consciousness. Between it was dreaming me and I was dreaming are
the ages of world. But what is more true? As little as the spirits send the
dream, it is the self that dreams. In the moment of the onset of dreamwake, a world of
seductive and unexplored possibilities is opening. A world in which the
ultimate boldness becomes reality and in which the unexpected can be
expected. At this point the actual adventure of mankind starts. The world
opens for all chances and miracles. The dream teaches us in a strange way about the
lightness of our soul to get into eyery object - and to transform into it at
once. Some scientists are of the opinion that what man
distinguishes from other forms of being is the culture - in contrast to
nature. Related to food it means for example the cooked would be higher
graded than the rough. Art, the conscious representation/ reproduction of
perceptions or images can be shurely regarded as culture. In contrast, the
dreaming is part of mankinds nature. Lucid dreaming - the control of dreams -
transforms nature in culture and therewith into the art of dreaming. The technicians connect your body and web your brain
and analyse the biochemicritical signals of your sleep- and dreamphases and
are able to report in detail what time and how intensive you have been
dreaming - while you, within your 3-second-dream, created and decayed an entire
world. |
