In a sense, we’ve always been multidimensional because when we dream, we visit another realm, or perhaps multiple realms. But since we usually think of dreams as “unreal” we may not have considered dreamtime as a legitimate other dimension. 
But dreams are often very relevant to our “real” lives even though they speak in metaphor and symbol and seem strangely surreal. In dreams I have received much important information and even answers to questions that have eluded me constantly in the “real” world. The soul speaks through dreams and learning its poetic language can bring amazing gifts.
But lately my dreams have begun to become more integrated into everyday reality without the stark boundaries between the dream world and the real world that usually exist. It may be that living multidimensionally means these boundaries could be softening and becoming more permeable. It could be that dreams are potential bridges between dimensions.
For example, the other night I was reading late into the night trying to finish a novel centered on Wall Street. I chose to read the novel in order to learn more about how Wall Street and complicated financial transactions work. I thought a novel might be an easy and enjoyable way to enhance my knowledge.
But alas, as I was drifting off to sleep, I had to admit that as entertaining as the novel had been, I really didn’t know much more after reading it than I had before.
That night I had a dream where I became a character much like the one in the novel, working as a low level associate in a high-powered investment bank. At the end of the dream, I was asked by my boss to clean up the “mess”. I understood “mess” to mean the residue created by the latest “deal” and I dutifully got out a dustpan and broom and began to sweep up the floor.
Then there appeared before me five rectangular boxes with words in them. The first box contained the word “dirt” and I understood that it referred to the dirt I was currently trying to get rid off. This “dirt” was both physical and energetic, and was a direct result of all the conscious acts of destruction toward organizations and people that these deals had created. I also realized that disposing of this “dirt” was an extremely important way of hiding what was really going on.
The second box held the word “scandal”. The “dirt” was to be hidden so there would be no scandal, but the risk of scandal was part of what motivated people to do what they did. I began to understand that both the bankers’ and the public’s love of drama was part of the equation that perpetuated these actions. There’s tons of drama not only in scandal itself, should it occur, but also in the machinations needed to avoid it.
The third box held the word “greed”. I thought this was pretty obvious, but then began to understand that the greed for money and the power that comes with it, were the results of the need to steal energy on a large scale. The sumptuous lifestyles of these high rollers were simply metaphors for their ability to steal energy whenever they wanted. The greed was not so much for money, but for power and energy.
By this time I was completely awake and marveling at the insights I had gained in this dream. The only problem was that I knew there were two more boxes and I couldn’t remember what had been in them. I was very frustrated and struggled to remember, but with no luck.
At this point, the strangest thing happened. Although I was completely awake and totally aware of being in my bedroom with the sun coming in the window, I began to dream again. But I did not go back to sleep. I was dreaming and awake at the same time. It is hard to explain what it is like to be both awake and dreaming at the same time, (literally conscious of being in two dimensions at once), but this is what I experienced.
In this “awake” dream, I was in my car trying to parallel park. I was having great difficulty and finally got out to look and see how I was progressing. When I looked at the back of the car, it was sticking way out in the street, and I knew it could easily be hit by another car going by.
Suddenly I remembered that the fourth box contained the word “exposure”. Just like my car was “exposed” to danger from reckless drivers because it wasn’t parked exactly like it should be, even the most diligent financial employee was exposed by the tiniest mistake (either conscious or unconscious) because of the recklessness of others. I thought about how hard I had tried to park the car, and understood how even those who try hard to be ethical were exposed to danger just by being in that environment.
This “waking” dream ended there, and as hard as I tried I could not remember the word in the fifth box, nor did another waking dream present itself. So I got up and went to make coffee. As I was preparing the coffee I mused on the ritual of coffee making every morning and wondered if I was addicted to coffee. At that moment I remembered that the fifth box contained the word “addiction”.
At once my mind was flooded with a gestalt of how this fifth word was related to all the other words. Hiding dirt, scandal, greed, and exposure are all about risk taking and the thrill that comes with it, as well as the satisfaction and sense of superiority that happens when you pull it off. The more audacious the risk the higher you fly. And it is a high, just like on drugs, except that you appear fully functional to everyone around you, and people admire you for taking the risk, (as long as it’s successful) so no one questions your mental health.
It would seem that my dream had given me a lot of information about the state of high finance that I wouldn’t have gotten anywhere else, and that I never suspected. It would seem that the dream was suggesting that much of what is wrong with our financial system has to do with the mental imbalances of many of those who are running it, as well as the complicity of healthier people who have bought into the system and are blinded by the glitz.
But even more interesting than these insights is the way they were delivered. While I have often gained much important information from dreams, that wisdom has always been delivered in the language of metaphor and symbol. That is how the soul speaks and that is the way communication is structured in the energy dimension.
But this dream actually used real verbal language as a means of communication. While it is true that the words used were augmented with feelings, experiences and metaphoric relationships that enhanced and expanded the meaning of each word in ways that could not have been conveyed with words alone, the dream still used words. And, on top of that, I dreamed some of it while completely awake. These details make me wonder if the veil between the dream dimension and the physical dimension is beginning to thin. It makes me wonder if we are going to be able to integrate dimensions through dreams. It makes me wonder what I will dream next.
What has your dream life been like lately? Have your dreams changed? Have you had dreams like this one, or anything else unusual? If so, please share. If not, keep watch. Who know what we will dream next.
