A Page From My Book
I had a fascinating dream last night.
I don't think I would have thought much of it, but I've been reading Carl Jung's autobiography, Memories, Dreams, Reflections. In it, he talks a lot about dream interpretation - both in his patients and himself throughout his life.
It's a major part of his practice and philosophy used to interpret the psyche of his patience and even his own mind. To Jung, dreams are messages from the unconscious.
I've always been fascinated by dreams but this book has really piqued my interest. It's worth noting that I haven't done any research outside of what Jung mentions in his book - he doesn't provide much instruction on how to actually interpret dreams.
But lately, I have been taking my own dreams to heart, trying to understand what my unconscious mind is communicating to me in these dreams.
There was nothing special about this dream other than how I interpreted it.
I was in an old-timey bar with a handful of people. A few of us were trying to overhear some sort of investigation and beat the legit detectives in solving it. the dream had gone on for a while as we overheard and uncovered clues. We figured it out and were getting ready to leave the bar when the girl I was with had her goofy ex-boyfriend show up. He was completely out of place in this dream.
That's when it got weird because we realized we were in a TV show and had already done this episode with him before. Then, all of a sudden, all of the answers came rushing to us as we realized this fact... and then I woke up.
I feel like there are a lot of parallels to reality to unpack here. From the investigation, our search for the meaning of life, to realizing we were really in a TV show, awakening and seeing life for what it truly is. Those felt obvious to me the moment I woke up.
The fact that this dream was an episode was interesting to me and took a bit more unpacking. As I tie the dream back to reality, it made me wonder, how much of reality is already predetermined? How much control do we really have? If it's all 'pre-filmed', do we have any free will?

I believe in an infinite multiverse where all timelines are possible. So even if this timeline is predetermined I can hop to another and that choice is still mine to make.
An image of infinite books popped into my mind and I saw myself jumping from page to page and book to book. The points of crossover between the words written on those pages are synchronicities. It gave me a completely different perspective on life, one in which I am still unpacking.
