jackshoegazer | Enlightenment Milk Cows

[[[Entering DreamLand]]]

I’m watching a sort of interactive holographic documentary about how David Beckham’s penis (and there was some long and silly name for it, like Magnificent Piddling Appendage or something) produced some unique hormone which when ingested (they didn’t say how this was originally done) produced a bright light, an explosion of kundalini at the base of the optical nerve and the pineal gland, producing enlightenment.

This hormone was isolated and synthesized. It was discovered that cows could easily be genetically modified to produce this hormone in their milk, and then it was passed on to the masses, and everyone was awakened.

Then the dream shifted a bit and it was the story of how the first enlightenment-milk cow was created. I was a scientist working at this dairy/genetic lab. We were in the ghetto, in this run-down old diary farm that looked more like a factory than a farm or a lab. (Apparently the public and mainstream science did not take the project seriously and we were forced to work in horrible conditions and were ridiculed.)

Everyone who worked there, besides myself and John, my co-author, looked like extras from Shawshank Redemption and the Green Mile. Very run-down people, wearing white 50’s diner uniforms; however it seemed to be mostly set in very present day. (The holographic documentary was very far in the future.)

So I come in to the scene and everyone looks very tense. I ask what’s wrong and the manager says someone just called twice saying they were going to rob the place. Just then, this large Cadillac pulls up out front and two large guys get out of the car with guns.

I turn and see that John is heading towards the back of the building, into what looks like a warehouse area. I follow him and he leads me to a far wall where there are many massive sheets of cardboard, old and flimsy, leaning against the wall. He says he learned this from working in the ghetto before, that you can hide in the layers of the cardboard and the robbers won’t find you.

After a few moments, we come back out and the robbers had been subdued by drinking the milk and were thus enlightened. The police and the media were there and suddenly mainstream scientists were all over our enlightenment milk project.

So now that the project was taken over by the Big League Scientists, there was no need for our rag-tag team, so I had them all hop into a large, horse-drawn wagon and I rode around the country side getting them all jobs as farm-hands at farms all over the place, selling enlightenment-milk the whole way.

Ok, no wine before bed anymore for you! LOL Just kidding.

I could probably get a bit more on this later, since I'm off to work, but there's some really interesting symbolism with this. Esp. the enlightened milk from the cow, and course, in a nurturing elixir of life sort of way. I keep in mind, milk is heavily associated with the goddess, and cows are sacred in Hinduism, oh I could go on. *sips coffee* But it does seem there is an interesting coorelation.

Your dreams are interesting, esp because they have societal themes. Not exclusively inward, or more interpersonal workings. Or could be the byproduct of a busy mind. But does seem that something is to be expressed to many, instead of being kept within.

You should follow my 'dream' tags back and dig into my other dreams. Not all of them have such outer-directed, societal themes. However, since I am primarily an introvert, constatly rummaging and organizing my inner life, it makes sense that my dreams might reflect an outer-directed orientation.

you know.. even though you added me first I gotta say I think I'm the one that lucked out with all the great reading material from your journal.

don't pretend like your david beckham penis dream isn't a sweeps week stunt!

I suppose his penis would be big news. No pun intended :P

I'm going to stop talking to you before you go to sleep if this is whats going to happen... or maybe i should talk to you more often.. that dream
(while weird as all get out)
is kinda neat.

I'm impressed!!!

Thanks! My I-save-the-world dreams are quite different than most peoples :P

Ok, a couple of interesting tidbits to help with your dream. Cause when you said this thing about Beckham's penis (and hon, your Anima has one hell of a sense of humor), to decipher some of this interesting symbolism, but I remembered this:

1) http://www.thaifootball.com/gallery/beckham1.jpg

See that? In Bangcock (and yes, that seems to add to the penis imagery haha huh)? David Beckham has been iconized at a local shrine in Thailand. So there's the 'cock' reference. Putting aside the sexual implications, more libido-like (sure), but also, Thailand has to be the reference, this gold icon, cause 2) Thailand is the main place where "cow cloning" has been being done. Rather controversial, as it were. So I'd look toward some of the Thailand symbolism to get the meaning of this dream, and so forth.

Oh my apologies for the reference: bangkok is the proper spelling, LOL, but the tie in is the -- oh everyone gets what I'm saying, LOL

I also tend to interpret sexual elements in terms of creative potential, so the libido/penis aspect of the 'creation' of enlightenment makes sense, especially from a tantric point of view (also with origins in the Far East.)

I didn't know DB was a writer, however good he is. I also, quite often, refer to myself as a Jack-of-all-Trades. And like DB, I was often criticized for my constanly changing hari styles :P

This however, makes me wonder why my co-author and I were hiding out during the main event, the robbery which brought the attention. Perhaps an analogy to our hermit-dom during the writing of the book. We'll be there for the aftermath, (when the cows come home) yet we were basically sequestered in the backroom of our minds when writing the book (which is VERY Anima oriented.)

I should definitely look more into Thailand, especially, as I'm unfamiliar with cow-worship in specifics (except where my reading of Terrence McKenna has filled me in on their role in psilocybin rituals.)

Esp look too, the end of the dream, I'm thinking the cardboard has more of the 'starving artist' symbolism, in a way, because homeless folks are known to live in cardboard boxes. Then you have all the danger elements, but your friend/writer uses the cardboard boxes as a shield from the chaos out there, but he says he's lived in the ghetto, he knows that chaos. What I suspect with this, is there is something he still needs to dig out to be able to complete this work, he may be holding back. It could be, fear of a reaction, to what could be brought forth in the writing, yet could be valuable to the whole thing.

It's kinda interesting, like the novel you want to write, came to life in your dream, in some way. Which is, course, what writers are supposed to do.

The novel we wrote is very dream-like in many ways :P And we do often worry a little about peoples reactions toward it. My co-author, especially, is worried about rejections (he's said I have to open and read any rejection letters we get from publishers :P ) MOstly, what we worry about is the energies in the book which we're unleashing on the world. This book does a lot of subconsious symbol manipulation, reaching through and far into the collective unconscious. And you know what they say about diving into the archetypal if you don't know how to swim, and with this book, it's the equivalent of tossing the baby (the reader) into the deep end of the pool and hoping they learn to swim.

Isn't it apropros that chaos reaches into the unconscious, as the unconscious is chaotic when countered to the illusion of structures and foundations, which society tries to create in a permanent fashion? Those structures cannot remain permanent, ever. Like creating a mindset of 'fear' of losing 'freedom.' Does this world really have 'freedom' to hold onto though? Does it even know what freedom is?

How can society cling to freedom, when in so many ways, it is not free? There have been plenty of books written which have a wonderful way of reaching into the unconscious self. "The Count of Monte Cristo," or "Frankenstein," or "The Heart of Darkness." Wouldn't Bush benefit from reading Conrad? Would he see that Kurtz is the shadow of Marlow? Exchange the pursuit of "civiling" the masses, for "freeing" the masses, from the shadow people called "terrorists" and how much different is Bush from Osama?

i think this dream sounds highly alchemical... i showed you the way into shadow... i led you to the nigredo of the hidden cardboard boxes... after which you emerged redeemed, as the Elixir emerged into the World... no?

That makes alot of sense. Our two year Madison sojourn was definitely a journey into darkeness or the unconscious, etc...

Whoa, this one is peculiar in a fantastic way.

It was the strangest thing. Did I ever refer you to this dream (http://jackshoegazer.livejournal.com/116986.html) I had? Or this one (http://jackshoegazer.livejournal.com/15916.html)?

They're both amazing and peculiar!
