Essential Zen

Am I dreaming? I usually remember to ask that only when on my bicycle...and sometimes driving, and sometimes in the market. So far, it still won't translate into dream time...and I'm not going to subject myself to any fucking suggested technique, other than what suits me. The plan remains to see if I can call up an IOB...I tend not to go along with most of what dreamways posts, not because I think it is false, but because I think it is his own creation. I continue not to believe in a predatory universe, rather, the best analogy remains the ocean, which is neutral...it has no agenda...there is no reason to have an agenda. Shit happens...that's sufficient. We create...that's what gets ignored. I believe all the gargoyles and such are our own creations, all the horrible things we might encounter after death, in the various bardos.

We are the IOB's...so what am I looking for to encounter? Another like myself, only another that no longer is manifesting in human form...a wise guy, like BB, in Monroe's stuff...a playmate, perhaps...Otters of the universe once again.

Almost, but not quite...last dream of the morning...my ex-business partner, flying around in some weird contraption and I knew he was going to crash and I was certain it would be into me..tried hiding in a van, but I suspected he knew I was in there and the van would be crushed if he crashed into it, so I left and ran toward a building, and just before reaching the door, thought, "I think I'm dreaming, because last I remembered, I was lying in bed in the early morning..." - but at that instant, Tim DID crash, on the lawn between the buildings, and he was dazedly walking towards me. I think I was more concerned about him than about dreaming.
