Dreaming does not have to be a random, passive activity. Lucid dreaming is access to the maelstrom that sits at the centre if your mind. It's all in there, eveything, even from before your conception. You just have to know precisely what you are looking for and have no preconception of how it will disclose itself. You also have to be able to translate the symbolism. Unfortunately, much of modern life has hidden this neurolinguistic knowledge underneath the crud of conventional thought and spirituality. If you want to know the Truth, you have to lose some if your mind...
I just recently had my third lucid dream I can remember. I’m also deeply married to Jung’s work with the unconscious. This last lucid dream struck me hard enough to do research & everything I’ve seen from Jungian thinkers seems to center around the ego controlling the experience (taking the wheel from the unconscious, if you will) I get it, but I’m not sure that’s all thats there. Jordan kinda touches on this with his story on his client. All three of my lucid dreams have been only lucid insofar as I’m made aware one way or the other that I’m dreaming- the reigns are never just handed over. Instead, I’m kinda just left observing with a more keen eye. Taking in whatever each dream has for me with the sobering awareness that I’m definitely dreaming. I have yet to have all the sex & drugs I want. Or fly to France and hang out with my dead ferret. Instead I’m left evermore curious as to the ego’s role in lucid dreams. So.. if you know you’re dreaming - but you’re not taking control - where is the you existing? Anyone else experience anything similar? Came to any neat conclusions?
There’s dimensionality to our minds that is difficult to fully grasp. Once I was semi-lucid, like you described, and I knew if I walked through a particular door that I would experience a fully lucid dream. I decided to fall back into a normal dream and I lost lucidity. It’s a choice. When I predetermine to myself that I will have a fully lucid dream, then I will. Practice meditation before attempting lucid dreaming, and then go on to practice it within a lucid dream so that you stay present and grounded. Become aware of your surroundings, and then let your guard down and allow yourself to experience all that you sense. Transition from a state of transmitting thoughts, to a state of receiving thoughts, and then vice versa. You need to play your subconscious and conscious mind like a balance for the most intriguing experiences to arise!
Just recently I had a dream* there I came across this book on a small night stand, I seen this book before ever hearing about it in person i didn’t read the book from fear for some reason and i didn’t know why. 📕

Jung pierced the veil, Jordan is close to it.
Both beautiful authentic souls and the world will do its best to silence him.

Intelligent question. Deceptively hard to be that eloquent (let alone the oratory ability of Petersen)

The more lucid you can get, they more complex the conversations and events become.
How did CJ do it, though? Day Dream Tripper.
Psilocybin?
Hypnagogia?
DR pepper?
Windex? Oh wait... err, Lucy?
I loved Carl Jung but he could literally enter to the dream realm when he was awake ??? fuck I love him even more now 😂
How did he initiate this????
