Guess where we are now? Oops, trick question\u2026it has two meanings. I\u2019ll actually cover them both in this new type of report I conceived this weekend.<\/p>\n

The literal version of \u201cwhere are we now?\u201d refers to the internet url. Some of you are reading this on the Tumblr blog, and others have found their way to our new WordPress site! Surprise, we\u2019re in both places. No need bounce around, though, because we\u2019re planning on keeping both locations active. All you George Ure fans out there will probably enjoy the main site<\/a> better because it has an rss feed in a responsive layout. You pick whichever meets your needs\u2026<\/p>\n

The other translation of \u201cwhere are we now?\u201d refers to the title of today\u2019s blog. This weekend, I finally got out from underneath some heavy duty tests and reports that were due last week for my third graduate degree. Without that weight on my shoulders, I could really break free and receive some creative thought with how to evolve our daily\/weekly\/project reports.<\/p>\n

I already had a positive view of predictive dreams just based on my experience, but after the last Blood Moon Dreams report<\/a>, I have a whole new appreciation for what is possible with our collective dreams. It seems that the whole reason the National Dream Center was created (the Ure\/High duo) has so much potential, just from the original vision itself.<\/p>\n

Overview of the new report style<\/strong><\/p>\n

In just a second, we\u2019re going to lay out the state of the world, but we\u2019re going to do it in a very eccentric fashion. Most people would simply spit out a bunch of news headlines and summarize their opinions of how they see the world.<\/p>\n

In our application, we will actually use our collective dreams as our starting point. You see, so many high-minded individuals throughout the ages used their dreams as a mirror for the self. Freud is credited with initiating dreamwork for humanity, but he was actually more of a plagiarist than a genuinely authentic creative thinker (this not to say that Freud was useless, but we have to at least acknowledge that many of his ideas were already laid out prior to his 1900 book, The Interpretation of Dreams<\/a>.)<\/em>.<\/p>\n

So, even before Freud and Jung, was a man named Christian Friedrich Hebbel. All the way back in 1850, Hebbel said:<\/p>\n

If a man would collect his dreams and examine them, and would add to the dreams which he is now having all the thoughts he has in association with them, all the remembrances, all the pictures he can grasp from them, and if he would combine these with the dreams he has had in the past, he would be able to understand himself much better by this than by means of any other kind of psychology. (Van de Castle<\/a>, 1994, p. 112)\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

The best way to understand yourself, according to Hebbel, was by way of dreams. This will be the core of concept in all follow-on work here. We consider dreams to be one of the best mirrors of our true selves. And then we add the next big ingredient, the collective unconscious of C.G. Jung, and voila\u2026you have the makings of a great giant mirror that shows us what kind of a collective mind we\u2019ve created.<\/p>\n

Then after we establish where we are as a race, we can then look at our vector. None shall know where they are going without first knowing where they are. This report will be just the state of our world. Throughout the week, then, we\u2019ll look at where we\u2019re headed into the future. Note that the follow-on speculative work to hunt down our collective direction will require the use of our dreams, too, but we\u2019ll also introduce the linguistics of the internet buzz, to really hone in on what the tea leaves are saying.<\/p>\n

Of course, the discerning mind has already picked up on the seeming contradiction here. On the one hand, the dreams will tell us where we are, but they will also tell us where we\u2019re going?! What absurdity! This guy\u2019s a flake!!<\/p>\n

Take everything you think you know about dreams, and toss them out the window\u2026and welcome to my world! I simply can\u2019t believe I\u2019m doing this for a living now\u2026trying to categorize dream content into the following 3 categories:<\/p>\n

1. pure absurdity<\/p>\n

2. past \u2018day residue\u2019<\/p>\n

3. future reality (either by creating it from the dream or the dream predicting it<\/a>)<\/p>\n

If anyone has any more distinct categories for me, I\u2019m all ears, but these three are absolutely apparent in most of the dreams that are dreamt under my own roof.<\/p>\n

The Collective Dreams and the Great Mirror<\/strong><\/p>\n

My first run of this fanatically-unheard-of procedure gave me the chills, but not in a good way. Without divulging too much of how this process works (mostly because at this point I know it will grow and evolve, but also it assuredly will put you all to sleep), let me just say that I had a very small pool of available dreams with which to initiate my work\u2026.and the results were scary\u2026I\u2019ve never seen anything so negative in my life! I even made a quick note to my mentors of the ugly bleakness.<\/p>\n

Good news, though, my friends! The simple act of increasing the size of the sample without increasing the time window did some amazing things, and so now the stage is properly set. What are our recent dreams saying? The following analysis is from a fairly hefty sample size, considering that they were all dreamt within the last week from various locations across the country (probably a smattering outside the border, too)\u2026<\/p>\n

What\u2019s the hottest word in our collective dreams?<\/p>\n

Around<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re now asking, \u201cHow in the world is this exciting or \u201chot?\u201d At first glance, this is just one boring word, but I\u2019m telling you there is much more <\/em><\/strong>to the story.<\/p>\n

Around and around we go\u2026the word itself signifies a routine. Are we a routinized society or what? This single study, by itself shows us exactly where we are as a race: so entrenched in our ways, going day by day through the same ol\u2019 rat race of life. Anyone ready for something NEW?<\/p>\n

And by \u2018new\u2019 I\u2019m not talking about a new iphone or a new way to spend more time in front of the TV. I\u2019m more concerned about a whole new paradigm. For starters, how about a new way to produce electricity\u2026 one that might help us evade the chains of Big Oil and Edison\/Morgan\u2019s pay-as-you-go electrical travesty.<\/p>\n

How about a Tesla paradigm, where you don\u2019t have pay anyone <\/em><\/strong>for your daily consumption of electricity? ..and this may be getting too far into our discussion for tomorrow and beyond, but have you seen that some breakthroughs are coming through? The levy is breaking, and overunity technology (a more realistic version of the term \u2018free energy\u2019) is really making a strong presence in the world, even though you\u2019d never know it if you only read mainstream news. Take for example the Quantum Energy Generator (QEG).<\/a> You\u2019ll want to head to this link immediately after reading today\u2019s post because they have free plans on how to make the machine. Oh, and its Tesla\u2019s technology, with an upgrade!<\/p>\n

There\u2019s lots more examples of a new paradigm, but let\u2019s see where our cyclic dreams are showing us first…<\/p>\n

Escapism at its peak<\/strong><\/p>\n

Next two words\u2026\u2019going walking.\u2019 We as a race are growing tired of the confinement. It\u2019s like being a kid when it\u2019s raining out for days and days\u2026you get shut-in syndrome. You get tired of the boring routine, and you get up and declare, \u201cI\u2019m going walking!\u201d<\/p>\n

Look at all the people seeking an escape. Whether its promiscuous sex, video games, drugs and alcohol, heck, even workaholism and some forms of spirituality on occasion\u2026they are all modes of escaping our immediate reality. One of the clearest indicators I can give on this topic is the unbelievable, alarmingly-high suicide rate among active duty military members and our vets. (An aside: the pentagon wouldn\u2019t lie about suicide rates would they<\/a>? Check out that apologetic article)<\/p>\n

We as a race are tired of going around and around endlessly, and just about all of us are addicted to the wrong forms of \u201cgoing walking.\u201d<\/p>\n

Something still interesting<\/strong><\/p>\n

Recall that on our last report, the word \u2018car\u2019 was parked just above \u2018house.\u2019 Well, I find this next item extremely interesting. You see, not only was I reviewing different dreams from last time, but I added a WHOLE lot more of them in this sample. Only one word stayed in the same position: dream (#1 – not surprising), but what did move were the two aforementioned words, and yet they stayed in the exact same relative position\u2026\u2019car\u2019 exactly one word ahead of \u2018house!\u2019 I feel like this is definitely telling us something. We are on the move as a society\u2026always on the go. I don\u2019t have a lot of other indicators thus far on this issue, but I\u2019ll be watching it closely going forward.<\/p>\n

\u2026and our words we shall remember later<\/strong><\/p>\n

The last grouping is a reminder for us that we are creating our reality, collectively, and one of the strongest creative forces we own are our words. Sure, our words are conceived with a thought, but the power of that thought is manifested with our words. The last three words in our algorithm are\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cWords, Remember, Later\u201d<\/p>\n

In essence, when we experience our reality later, we shall remember what we spoke into existence in the first place. Our thoughts and our words do have tremendous power. Be mindful and take inventory of your expression.<\/p>\n

The battle for supremacy: A taste of tomorrow\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

I knew this report was going to grow long, and thus I wouldn\u2019t have time to highlight what I\u2019ve already found for the future. Of course, I couldn\u2019t hold back and already took several peeks at the source data for what I call \u201cthe battle for supremacy.\u201d<\/p>\n

We live in a very dualistic world. Most of the predictions you see out there are weighted very heavily to one of two extremes. They\u2019re either always positive or always negative it seems. So, what I created is a dual-tracked word list that is extracted from each of the two camps. I then get to figure out how to filter the two sides, and take a stab at what actually is manifesting in the future (same thing goes for the dream analysis, but I\u2019ll get into that next time.)<\/p>\n

Could it be that some predictions are somewhat \u201ctainted\u201d because they only consider one of the two extremes? I\u2019m not saying my program will be any better, but my theories include both sides. And for those wondering if I\u2019ll thus only stay in the very middle of the two extremes, you\u2019re absolutely wrong<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So, what\u2019s the big taste for tomorrow? In very synchronistic fashion, dreamscloud.com displayed a very telling indicator for their latest batch of dreams. Yesterday (April 27th<\/sup>), they said that last week\u2019s predominant color was \u2026.white<\/em><\/strong>! And another sign of hope: ..http:\/\/guardianlv.com\/2014\/04\/nine-nuclear-armed-nations-taken-to-court-by-the-marshall-islands\/<\/span><\/span><\/a>
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Oh, you gotta love it, and I hope you like our exploration this week. The battle for supremacy rages on, though. Which side will win? Or rather, which side will we create?<\/p>\n

P.S. Do you own a database of dreams on the internet?<\/em> The more dreams we have, the more accurate of a picture we can get for the globe. Right now, all our dreams are US based for the most part. This may not sound intuitive, but the National Dream Center does not restrict borders. If you have dreams in your country, let\u2019s talk. The goal is not to steal your dreams and bring them over here, nor steal your subscribers. The idea is that your dreams are counted in our algorithm, solely for the purpose of getting a better global <\/em>picture, and not one that is constrained to the US only. That being said, I also need more US based dreams. The more the merrier. Thanks for your help and support everyone!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
