    hi tau - I'll reply to your other post soon. Need more coffee first.

    'vanilla' means --------- ordinary.

    red cedar is talking about his current fav. Jung - and he's talking about dreams - 'flying dreams'.

    He is talking about 'ordinary' flying dreams - they are common as duck poop at a pond.

    here is what my point is -

    1. Flying dreams - common, almost everyone has had some
    2. Precognitive dreams - definitely NOT common, although many people have had them, one can have none or very very few in a lifetime - if they are 'for sure' - they are always well worth of discussion.

    3. What we call 'precognitive dreams' - but, they happen as real events are taking place - RARE RARE RARE, almost no one has them. When you get someone who has - it's like finding a 20 karat diamond on the footpath - you take your time. AND - you don't bother discussing the weather -
    does that make sense????

    I'll get back to your other post a little later - I now think that - you ?? may have had a point 3. dream - but, probably more likely a precognitive dream (the plane one) of what some people have, but not the rare rare version.
    Your mothers dream is again - another kettle of fish - and that is well worth thinking through as well.

    I'll just give you a heads up here - it was a precognitive dream by a man I met around 30 years back, that has sent me on what appears to be a life's work. I explore and play with this stuff every single day and have done for about 3 decades - it's led me to all kinds of corners - cause and effect, random chance, quantum mechanics, "emergent properties" where complex behaviour emerges from an environment which would appear too simple to produce that result, interface between the macro- and micro-worlds

    all of it - is deep in weird poop country - and, IT'S REAL.

    Einstein called it 'spooky action at a distance' (and basically shook his head, walked away saying 'I don't want to know' (with a backcountry English accent)
    I'd more call it - weird poop - or slippery physics.
