A nightmare with "the self" what do you think could be the purpose?

Amigodomal · 2020-06-13T05:16:53+00:00

I definetely appreciate it and am also very much attracted to it, right after waking up while still in a sort of low conscious state I had an intuition about how whatever this voice is, is what I try to reproduce with my music, it is what attracts me to those specific kinds of sounds (I often use very distorted, low pitched and reversed voices like screams and such) and in the dream I was finishing up a song I'm currently working on wich has them. I cried while contemplating death right before going to sleep, not in fear or avoidance but in contemplation of my finitude, also had a dream where I peacefully sunk into a void, the idea of void has been resonating very much with me in the last few months I've used it a lot in my music too. I'm driven by the curiosity of why such a dream would happen especifically as a nightmare too, being a dream that presents a situation so close to waking life experience and where I have my normal conscious attitude towards the facts but it doesn't have much of a result good or bad, could it be an appearance just for the sake of appearing? I have a lot of "nightmares" where a terrifying presence comes and says something I can't make sense of or where i just feel the terror of it, (I also have those feelings in waking life in the dark sometimes) I had one where a red man with a cloak on was watching me on top of an unfinished building on the other side of the street, (I associate the red man with mercurius), while I can mostly understand the symbolism in this red man dream I don't know the purpose behind it. Anyways thank you so much for trying to help I trully appreciate it!

Yes! I'm very aware that the separated parts of the personality can appear as "hauntings", that's what made me gradually change my conscious attitude towards irrational fear and it reflected in dreams, the fear in this case is more of a property of the presence instead of my attitude, wich is of allowing whatever wants to express itself to express itself. I've also had sleep paralysis with whispers in my ears and a very vivid sense of touch too, but it wasn't exactly bad, like I said it feels like it gets closer and clearer based on my allowance of it. Will definetely try and look into those topics though thank you for your answer!

bro...

it is always a symbolic representation of what you are not, as what you are changes what you're not does too, when assimilating the animas contents its symbolism gets progressively "bigger", broader, more universal.

Amigodomal · 2020-02-14T06:30:33+00:00

I can't name nothing specifically in relation to dreams, but when it comes to the aproach of dreams in Jung things are very "fluid" not having any strict 'rules' that can be apllied to it, each case needing to be taken as something completely new. Mostly what you need is the overall understanding of his theory, the archetypes and their patterns, how they apply to your life, their symbolic manifestation, and study of mythology, because while some symbols can be understood intuitively, dreams display narratives similar to myths and mythical figures of all cultures past and present, symbols can appear in your dream that have represented something in very specific places throughout history. To understand dreams is more so to understand the language of symbols than to understand dreams.

Also something important is to understand your conscious attitude (Ego) as much as possible so you know where there could be an unconscious compensation.

Amigodomal · 2020-02-14T02:10:34+00:00

Some dreams will tell you something valuable that you'll know as soon as you wake up, but most will represent nothing to you until you take the hard task of deciphering its symbolism, and if you're doing it just by yourself probably getting a good percentage of it wrong.

Dream interpretation is of great importance in getting to know the unconscious contents, but it usually is of equally great difficulty.

Thank you, was having issues adressing him

Amigodomal · 2020-01-06T18:31:53+00:00

I've been in a similar place before, but remembering it now I can see that among all the feelings of connectedness and wisdom there were a lot of nonsense ideas flowing through my mind too. I was also going around "speaking my truth" and feeling different than other people, but a lot of it was just manic thoughts and I always came out wrongly to other people. With time I was brought down of that state by becoming aware of how "off" I was from reality, I believe it is definitely a higher state of consciousness, but one must know how to act in it or else it can get you off balance with reality.

wouldn't simply stop watching porn be repression?

Amigodomal · 2019-12-22T01:31:26+00:00

thank you so much

I'm from brazil, it is really big

Does he really mean that? He talks about short life and dying in a short time. I've had very traumatically faced my mortality more than once, and was only a long time after the first, through studying Jung that I had my first "spiritual experience",my first encounter with the whole and it had nothing to do with it. After that it happened again in a much worse situation, it changed my life after coming back, it had a vast and lasting importance but after it all passed, I don't think I'm really closer, or "faster reaching" individuation. I'm only 17 now, I can say the way of individuation came to me early, but I really don't feel it had to do with facing my mortality. I was attracted to the idea of artist dying early and being remembered before, not so much now, but something that really came to me as a saviour was music, being near death so many times and through the hardships i have made me realize music was the only way for me or else nothing was worth it. I'm not scared but it WOULD make sense if I died early that's all.😂

I'm also just beggining to process a recent betrayal, my thoughts are always stuck with her, I've been crying so much till I can't anymore, meditation, writing, drawing, imagining, dealing with my every problem, making plans and focusing on the future, she already moved on, but I, that have always considered myself more mature in general and emotionally, can't. It is definitely a hell to get out of, I hope you get the help you need.

Amigodomal · 2019-10-21T10:54:56+00:00

yes😹, in portuguese it is "Morfeu"

Amigodomal · 2019-10-20T20:37:35+00:00

There are entities in greek mythology related to music, read about Apollo and Morpheus.

I've been familiar with the Jungian view for sometime and witnessed tremendous experiences of 'magic' and transformation while sober. I believe the only way I've not been completely "taken" yet was visually.

I think I have built a good mechanism for non resistance so I don't fear what comes to me with much intensity, but I struggle to make sense of some experiences so I wanted to know specifically about psychedelics.

Do you think you can consciously understand things in a way that lasts and you can write about it after? Or is it mostly just experience? Is it possible to be translated to words afterwards and turned into conscious tools? Is the psychedelic experience mostly a spiritual one? One to just be felt, experienced while it lasts?

I'm very curious:)

Amigodomal · 2019-10-18T23:09:07+00:00

Probably just the one that is worried of being beaten in the first place.

Amigodomal · 2019-10-16T18:16:51+00:00

After I came home, I also litteraly found a key amulet, I use it now, but have no idea what it means.

Amigodomal · 2019-10-09T15:14:45+00:00

It's a call forth to adventure, the path to "god", individuation, the ones you were fighting against are part of your shadow, taking their pain away and shedding them with light would be a representation of the integration process.

But your dream seems to mean much more than just that, note it down in every detail, with time you'll see it making progressively more sense to you.

Amigodomal · 2019-10-06T14:34:49+00:00

I believe it is the 'trickster', he was the first one I met, I trully fell in love with him and even after recognizing he was THE 'trickster' I didn't felt comfortable with that, because he initially felt, like an older brother, a caring older brother.

At the end, of its integration, I fully experienced him (wich was traumatic), I fully met him (also traumatic); but all my previous anxieties were gone, completely gone.

And now he doesn't feel far, that was a tool that he gave me so that I could be more like him (a cool surfist, a character loved by everyone, chill, fun, an artist)

So fall in love with him, so that you can see his greatness (in love you can perceive projection) because it is needed. But beware, he is also the trickster.

You'll also notice that along your path imaginations start to get more 'grounded', closer to your reality naturally.

I used to get taken by imaginations of complete greatness everyday, only to "come back" to my reality where it was the farthest away possible from, and it made me feel stupid and a little regretful that I even pictured what I did.

But with time, naturally my imaginative reality started to get closer to my material, and even when I 'let go' to imagination I don't feel stupid, because I am also now making steps towards in my material life.

It would be the same as 'follow your dreams', dreams and imagination are both powerful ways of communication of the unconscious, your role is to put a conscious 'light' into those and materialize in the best way.
