Re: The Hot Tub Turtles

Jimmy,
If you will bare with me while I catch up on other posted dreams I will address your questions. Also if you will provide some details about your travels in Australia and if indeed that has given you a break from a routine back at home that would be helpful. I am supposing this trip has something to do with the positive aspects in the dream I noted. Also any info you feel comfortable with about your childhood. To fully engage in the Individuation Process the whole life must be examined, especially the early formative years. Most emotional conflicts begin in these 'foundational' years and become the subject of our dreams as long as they remain unresolved.

Re: The Hot Tub Turtles

Jerry,
No problem please take your time there is no rush at all. So as far as routine goes travelling has not really destroyed any routine. I've not actually been living in Ireland but Scotland for the last four years. I've been studying at a university there (philosophy if that helps) so my routine has often changed depending on the time of the year and whatever projects I was working on in my personal life at the time. I have given up alcohol and drugs last year when I first arrived in Australia so perhaps that is an element? Also when I came to Australia I was in a strict routine in my attempts to master lucid dreaming. I was getting up after five hours of sleep everyday for two hours of writing meditating and visualisation before returning to bed for a couple of hours. This routine was disrupted a few months into Australia so perhaps this is the kind of routine you may be speaking of. But of course this was not a long standing routine but only a few months old.
As for my childhood I had a pretty easygoing and peaceful childhood. I was a shy kid and really sensitive. My parents were lovely to me and I always got on with my two older brothers. I had no real traumas or dramas as a kid I was really smart I was quiet and easy to tears. I mostly remember our family holidays which were always a treat. Perhaps I did not get as much love as a sensitive kid needs? I read a lot of books and played a lot of football (soccer) and games with our group of friends.

Jimmy,
I'll provide a detailed response on Sunday. Saturdays I work with the family construction business {I am retired} to help feed my felines so Sunday is the best day to give proper time to a response.

Re: The Hot Tub Turtles

Jimmy,
If you really want to discover any issues that are not conscious then a self examination is required. Jung's Individuation Process is the route I took and suggest as an excellent way to make such discoveries. Not only does this self psychology reveal unconscious issues it also can lead to discoveries related to creative and spiritual aspects. It is from these aspects true meaning in life comes, finding those inner qualities that make life worth living. Creative aspects, a type work or effort you love doing most, serving in a capacity that fits your soul and not what society dictates. From the depths of the darkness of the unconscious lies the true self, the person who you bare and why you are that person as well as the person you were meant to be.

You say you have suspicions. Is there anything in your childhood that would cause such suspicions? Our foundations, especially the earliest years of life are where we obtain the ingredients that form our personality and general attitudes. A lack of good parenting {even if you had a prosperous life} where a parent or parents did not provide the required nurturing is often the basis for most emotional issues in later life. Traumatic experiences as a child of any kind also will leave impressions on the psyche that can alter proper personal growth. Even a lack of love for a sensitive personality can become an issue. A very deep examination of childhood is necessary, beyond what is perceived as positive experiences, going to the moments you remember and examining them for important content. Memories are often formed because there was something 'important' about the experiences.

We must also consider genetics, what DNA we are born with that could alter normal psyche behavior. Serial killers usually had terrible childhoods but not everyone who had a terrible childhood become serial killers {although there is often likely a 'disruption' of normal behavior necessary for proper personal growth}. If there is something you 'feel' that is not right and there is nothing from early life then genetic makeup could be possible. People who suffer chronic depression have emotional issues but the severity of their depression is a neurological disease, not just psychological.

This is where you begin and follow through in all stages of life {again the early years being the most important}. You are at an age where any negative issues will come up in personality, where unconscious energies take a lead in how you live your life. Life choices are not just random, they are affected if not dictated by early life formations. Although unrelated and/or chance events will affect these motivating energies will have an influence on how life plays out.

As for disruption of routine. My intent was to bring about recollection of the routine you had a s a younger person that would have changed when you moved away from Ireland/Scotland. That would go to childhood experiences that may not have been positive and may have changed when you moved. Has there been a noticeable change in your life by the move, one that may have helped with any negative imprinting from early life? Look at this and see what might be there.

You state you have been attempting to master lucid dreaming. How much knowledge do you have of dreams? Do you have any knowledge of dream psychology {what I practice} or Jungian psyche. I am not a big fan of lucid dreaming because it can get in the way of the natural aspects of sleep and dreams. Dreams are nature's tool to help heal the psyche {as the immune system is to the body the dream is to the psyche}. If the intent is to control your dreams so to 'play' then you are doing yourself a disservice and altering the natural intent of the dream. If you use lucid dreaming is aiding the healing process then you are using it properly. Anytime dreams are altered you risk psyche damage and possible psychological because when you go into the dark depths you are in unexplored realms. There are no such things as real demons, monsters etc. but illusionary demons in the mind are just as bad. They can be destructive and prevent self discovery and healing.

Normal sleep is also important including continuous sleep and not napping for short periods of time. We know all about the stages of sleep and REM sleep is known to be when we do most of our dreaming. Short circuiting this mechanism not only alters the natural psyche process but can be harmful physically. What affects the psyche affects the body, what the body experiences becomes a psyche event.


Let me analyze the dream again with the added information you have provided. I have found those who have any measure of exploration the deep psyche {including lucid dreaming} have dreams that reflect that exploration. The dream message is not so much altered but has a focus on something other than the usual energies in dreams. I take my analyzing of dreams seriously and my success in interpreting dream images/actions is, in my mind and from the *evidence, 'remarkable'. If there is explanation beyond my analyzing of a dream there is a good reason for it. I have had such experiences where my interpretation of the images/actions were proper but the application was not because of exploration of deep psyche energies by the dreamer. But even with that it usually doesn't alter the deeper issues. There is always something emotionally involved the images/actions point to, always.

* My Dream Forum is a catalog of my work. Ten plus years of analyzing dreams with responses. I have always experienced good success interpreting dreams {using basic Jungian concepts and an intuitive mind} but in the past couple of years my success has been nothing short of phenomenal. And as with everything I expose as truth I instruct people to read the posted dreams and see for themselves. For a quick examination of this I direct you to my Facebook page where I began posting the dreams from the forum. A developed intuitive mind is a metaphysical experiences, something beyond the norm but still explainable by objective reasoning. If it exists it is because natural created it. Just as with dreams being the healing mechanism I mentioned earlier.
