Guest guest Posted September 7, 2001 Report Share Posted September 7, 2001 Road Dream I had a dream the other night. I was driving on one of the bumpier Texas roads in my low power car. People wanted to pass. Then I came to a section of road newly paved with a layer of black asphalt. I tried to go faster but I became interested in the asphalt. I reached through the window shield and picked it up in both hands to see it more closely. It passed over my hands like a river of road. This effect looked very interesting . I tried to will the car faster but the closer I looked at the road the more I slowed down. I was uncomfortable and frustrated.

Guest guest Posted September 7, 2001 Report Share Posted September 7, 2001 Dear Bob, I couldn't wait for your response to whether or not you wanted an interpretation, because it came flying at me at full speed from my Heart! If you don't want it, don't read it....but I already know I'm sending this! It's so strong. My hands are freezing and they are shaking. They always do that when IT is Here. - bgbbyg (AT) aol (DOT) com Friday, September 07, 2001 8:32 AM Road Dream Road DreamI had a dream the other night.

Let's say it was quite a bumpy ride (along with the awareness of people passing you) until the emergence of the smooth asphalt (Self Inquiry). Could it be that your fascination and close examination the asphalt (the method) is holding up the transcendence of the appearance of the car (the body) on the road (the path)? This would explain the resulting discomfort and frustration....because you really want to go fast! You are burning for Freedom!!!

Guest guest Posted September 7, 2001 Report Share Posted September 7, 2001 Dear Kheyala: I'm sorry I couldn't get back sooner to answer your first post. I posted the dream because it was about subconscious satsangh. I wanted someone to comment on it. It was a message type dream. Thanks. I like your interpretation. It has been hard for me to isolate that idea about the path being an obstacle but what you said brings it home in spades. Love Bob G. P.S. I always want any comment you can take the time to make. bg Kheyala wrote> I couldn't wait for your response to whether or not you wanted an interpretation, because it came flying at me at full speed from my Heart!
