One of the basic ideas that I haven't seen much discussion on (albeit I haven't really delved really deep into the archives here) has to do with the Collective Unconscious (CU) and the belief that it is reached thru dreams. Freud and Jung both wrote about dreams, the CU and archtypes within dreams.
Do you believe in the CU? I surmise it to be the electrical impulses of thought that one can tap into that carry memories and ideas whose energy pattern is understood by many people accross time and distance. I tend to believe in spririts as well beneath the same premise of enery signatures. Many theories abound about why we dream and basically revolve around the idea that dreaming involves the unconcious part of our id resolving problems/issues/processing data and such. If we agree that we have an unconcious and we have evolved from more basic creatures is it really so far fetched that we could have collective knowledge on some instinctive level and a way to access those memories?
In the Road Less Traveled there is a part where the author claims that he shared the same dream with someone else. I also have had similar experiences with my sisters. Not the same dreams but we have dreams that occur in the same place or a dream town. It isn't someplace we lived but we can describe the school and various features of the place to each other. I originally started talking with my older sister about this dream place and then the one after me also confirmed that she experienced a similar city in her dreams. I mean you could chalk it up to wishful thinking but my Native perspective/teaching tell me not to discount the spirit world and it has value, meaning, and importance in my life.
