The Matrix (Supplement insights)

 I am walking through a series of events that at first seem endless and random. I am witnessing and participating in what may be a religious ceremony. Pairs of young women are being blessed/processed in a production line of pairs of participants. They are wearing highly stylized garb that makes them almost look like dolls.  Two-by-two  they are being brought to a higher level on a stage and being brought into the fold. The outfits where shaped like Russian stacking dolls but were more Japanese in style. The all looked identical. 

I am with some women and we are trying to locate our washed or new sheets and linens in a huge room. There are bundles stacked in piles wrapped in clear plastic to you can see the contents, But the sheer volume is overwhelming. I consider taking some bundles that I know are not mine.

I am walking through a series of synthetic leather consumer goods; Suitcases, wallets, purses. One after another. I am thinking, these are shinny but worthless and made very poorly. The line of fake leather goods morphs into a street scene. I am under an elevated road or railway like in downtown NYC. There are black vendors, mostly women working on what may be real leather goods sitting at sewing stations. I can see their skin glistening with sweat but they seem peaceful and productive. I glace to the left and I can see a regular inner city street scene with old parked cars and men mulling around in t-shirts. They are out on the street not under the shadowed elevated structure.

I am trying to get onto a crowded highway. Everyone has collected tons of the never ending consumer goods and are trying to pull their cars onto a jammed highway. Some people are just standing in the road the way someone might stand in a parking space to save it. I am trying to pull a car on the road but the wheels hake been stolen and I have only flimsy plastic runners supporting the vehicle.

Notes: I went in and out of this series of dreams for some time. It was so seemingly pointless and repetitive I considered not naming or evening trying to remember them. I named it the matrix because it dawned on me the reputation and hopelessness was the whole point.

Notes on supplements from Carl in Dream Study Group: While he has often found them effective, especially galatamine, his experience is that the experience my feel limited or artificial. It's as if the dream is an effect of the drug not something from inside your subconscious or from a higher source.

What does the dream want? For me to have a life above and beyond a worker/consumer.

Reality check: Way too real for most of us.

Bumper Sticker: You can't purchase your way to happiness

Dream to action: Build a life built on helping others, embracing nature and living sustainably.
