Dream The first part of the dream I am in the wood walking. It's getting dark and I don't know where I am where I am going. I am then in town. I am walking with my bike on the sidewalk. I think it's the best of both world since I have a bike but I'm protected on the sidewalk. I almost ride my bike, but I know I might get a ticket for doing so. We get to a store, it's in the middle of the city. It's a store where you buy buttons of all sorts. It reminds me of a button store that was close to where I lived as a teenager. We get into the store and we look into the hat section. There was one hat with a big button on the top. There are some wolf patterns in knots on one of the hat. I decide on one hat to purchase, it's not great but it kind of fits. The cashier ask me if I want to purchase a second one for fifty cents. I realize I don't even want one hat to start with so I really don't want a second one! Reflection These dreams are quite foggy, very far from dream of clarity or lucid dreaming. Closer to day dreams, without much details, without much connections between each sections. I tend to not care as much about these dreams, or not spend as much time analysing them. But the purchase part is interesting. I have a bit more saving these days, and I've been spending on a lot of small thing here and there. Some part for my NDS, some stickers, spending money for training on openBSD. Just regularly spending more for no reason. One of my core practice is called the three pillar. It consist of calming the three foundational elements: Sex, Food and Money. These are three main elements of consumption. They are also the elements of energy. The idea is that these are my primordial energy and I can waste them or use them to grow. I can eat just for the pleasure, without using food as medicine. I can spend all my money in objects that create more desire, instead of investing my money to help me move my life in a more creative and healing adventure. Sexually, I can waste my sexual energy in pornography to to fulfil a desire of pleasure only, or I can cultivate that sexual energy in a way that is both healing my body as well as creating an force of attraction of what I want with my life. Through my process, I'll often refer back to these elements. gopher://lucid.observer/0/~daruma/garde/threepillar
