Musings on dreams

“Self observes waking, dreaming and deep sleep ~ In stillness taking a consciousness leap” ~ quote by poet Relying on instincts in the dream state, there remains neither logic nor free will, as we accept therein, our ordained fate, with no knowledge of our inherent skill. Perhaps the waking state too is a dream, conjured by an unknown force in control, cajoling us to dance on fate’s moon beam, which we accept as our destined life role. Waking or dreaming, for soul is the same, if detached consciousness be self-aware, with neither fears nor desires left to tame, having no needs, save a breath of fresh air. Detached and nonchalant to what appears, divine dweller of our heart, life course steers.

Notice there is no free will or discernment in dreams, as contrasted with the waking state
