Audacity in Dreamers

Attention to the Cultivation of Dreams

Most all minds have a few often-frequented anxious thoughts

upon which nearly all the attention of the dream scavengers is bestowed

leaving subconscious states to the chances, or awaiting miraculous release.

An Antidote:

Welcome it all into the body & trust its wisdom.

Inconvenience - How to Excise a Dream

This Inconvenience writer asserts that cutting is an easy way to spoil and/or remove a dream.Because this is an Inconvenience, it can be inferred that it is another person's dream that is to be ruined.The writer asks her readers to consider their own applications (which may be context-dependent) of the word cut.She has chosen the 1892 text, The Surgical Diseases and Injuries of the Stomach and Intestines by Frederic Bowreman, as her primary source.

How to Excise a Dream:

Academic Convenience 36 - They are Initiated

Some Convenience academics have attempted to discern, or create, some systems of order and/or patterns in convenience and inconvenience work.The fact that this convenience is numbered tells the reader that the piece is part of an attempt at organization.Note that the writer has used the qualities of fun, appeal, and harmony to describe her practitioners.Academics have contrasting theories about why this might be so.In one theory, the writer has been very lucky and has experienced only good dreams.Another theory posits that the writer chooses to acknowledge only the good dreams.Yet another theory suggests that she seeks to describe an ideal in which it might be possible to see only harmony.

Convenience 36

From Time Unknown

and appeal

Hints for the Realms of Dreaming

This convenience writer has used a Routledge and Sons booklist to craft her commentary.Convenience scholars note that she mentions an open cage, and she states that the openness is created by the wild [read natural] experience.The writer suggests that some dreamers may be caged and may not realize that the door to the enclosure is open.She also emphasizes the notion that dreams are common and freely available.The writer tells her readers that imagination and fancy may provide the desired resolution.She advocates exiting the cage and engaging with many different ideas.

Tourists' Guide Hints for the Realms of Dreaming

The wild state breeds the open cage.

How dreams ought to be managed:

Wholly know they are common objects of the ether.

Grow them with 200 different types of fancy,

with 200 illustrations of imagination.

The Illusion of Theories

This convenience writer shows her bias toward relativism by telling readers that thoughts do not necessarily reflect truth.She asserts that theories are created by thoughts which are created by experience. She would say that people notice the thoughts that meet expectations that have already been formed.For this writer, theories are metaphors for truth. They are possibilities.

The Possible Illusion of Theories

Thoughts are an echo of causes and judgments

& can be inspired representations of truth.

Investigate the metaphor.

General Dream Conundrums

Convenience work is often expressed using metaphor.Practitioners sometimes fashion conundrums to encourage clients to think and feel in new ways, and these conundrums frequently contain metaphor.Here is a Convenience writer asking her reader to consider how the feeling of comfort may be compared to the seasons of flora.

General Dream Conundrums.

The dream conundrum generally contains a riddle.

For example, how is understanding the natural magic

of trees, plants, and seeds

like comfort?

Hint:

consider the circularity

supporting the seed and the great tree

Impeachment and Dream Witnesses

Here's another Convenience from the philosopher tradition.The writer's use of the word Impeachment does not suggest illegality; she is asking her readers to be thoughtful and precise in analysis and word usage.She asks us to consider our definitions of competency, relevancy, good, form, and nature.She would suggest that we may each hold quite different understandings of the words. She also suggests that meaning may change over time.

Impeachment of Dream Witnesses

Competency is a hopeful necessity.

Relevancy is good,

but what constitutes relevancy & what is good

when relative time and nature and form

are taken into consideration?

Truthful Analogy

This Convenience is from the Simplicity tradition.The writer believes that the work has been overly complicated, or has been presented as being too mystical or complex.She tells her readers that luck and coincidence have little to do with a good dream.A pleasant dream is whatever we (each of us or groups of us) consider to be a pleasing combination of images, meanings, etc.

In Truthful Analogy

Independent of coincidence, or fortuity of any kind,

the very ground work and basis of Dream Harmony

is simply a pleasing ensemble.
