Preface
Our dreams are not expressions of our personal unconscious. They are much too deep for that.
They are expressions of our collective unconscious, the mind of our species and our planet,
which uses the images of our waking lives to tell its stories, not ours.
Our planet has a violent history and is not averse to imposing this history
on its stories - on our dreams. We make a mistake when we interpret our dreams
to be reflections of our own suppressed emotions and traumas.
This is the topic of The Tyranny of Dreams,
but The Tyranny of Dreams is only one in a collection of reflections on my earlier book "Physical Spirituality".
That book treated spirituality as emerging from the physical world rather than being a source of it. There are significant implications to this notion which were not included in Physical Spirituality and I am addressing them here.
These reflections will be much easier to follow if you have a grasp of the concepts of connectivity and architectivity developed in Physical Spirituality, which is a
free read at https://physical-spirituality.neocities.org/ and
at many ebook stores.
