Saying i have rugby shoes with sturdy cleats and i dont need football shoes as i won’t be kicking. George says something about how getting tackled in rugby is the hardest i say yeah no kidding . I am then listening to music and judging to see what is good or not. I feel stressed to pick the hardest one. The guy at the end picks one with lots of sound effects alike and phone ringing instead of the coolest hip hop song and is laughing.

Truth is an essence of what is. When you observe some aspect of a thing, you are in touch with truth via essence, despite the partiality of that truth. You are a vessel of a specific truth. This truth can be analyzed, but it can also just be observed, which is to say the interpretation can be an observation of the essence, an essence of the essence. A world of truth is essences of essences thinking each other, which may appear as a dream, condensed, but nonetheless having within it concept and ethic. It is a strange concept to find “Your Truth” rather that The Truth, but as consciousness provides an essence of reality, there is no need for a true thing to be thing thing which is assigned to our consciousness. Essential truth is thrust upon us as an alien, but to find our truth is to be patient, it is also to be partial and sure to decide that i am partial and i will be focusing on the things which appear to me and for me, rather than for the symptoms and neurosis and simple ignorant recaptured by algorithms observations of others. To take Hegel back to Parmenides, we can see history as swirling relations. It is not that time is evolving dimensionally, but that objects are swirling in space and speculating with each other. Essentialism is an existentialism, it is concrete and real, not simply an ideal in the sense that it is fully flexible like a moment of adjusting consciousness. Internal refinement through psychology occurs meditatively, while the swirl brings us meditating monks in contact with each other, smashing essence against essence in a speculative manner. Like weather patterns on our planets and on planets and worlds beyond earth, elements smash together to form weather. Truth is a hyperweather that needs to understand the nature of particular truth, including Your Truth, to see the real of its conditions. To see truth as both a real dream and like a weather analysis rather than axiomatic tautological proofs or moral exposition is to see both tautology and exposition within the pattern of the dream weather.

There is a triadic process of how to keep the journal. It goes: Dream Journal, Unpacking, Conceptualization. The Dream Journal The dream journal is just an empirical log of your dreams. One way that it differs from how you might intuitively do this on your own is that you are trying to give space to things which you don't assign meaning to right away. Write down the environment, the objects, how one thing passes to the next in the best way that you can. When you are writing down your dreams, do not worry about interpretting them, concern yourself only with writing down as much as possible. You might have first impressions, but save that for the second step. Unpacking Unpacking, brainstorming, or free-association, is when we highlight different parts of the dream, and we give ourselves room to speak whatever comes up for us, starting from the object, word, or situation in the dream. This is the place for your first impressions. In addition to your initial ideas of what your dream relates to, you can highlight things that repeat, things that are opposites or oppositions including self and other, as well as distortions, to highlight and free-associate in relation to. As you do this, different concepts start to emerge. Conceptualization Different concepts will start to emerge that you can think about in relation to how your dreams frame them. You can also get feedback from others regarding the concepts that emerge. Conceptualization is not simply an interpretation of your dream, but a thinking-through of major currents within the dream that you are reflexively producing. By thinking through concepts that you are reflexively aestheticizing through the process of dreaming, you can go deeper both into your personal psyche and into the world itself. This world-level nature of the concept is the Absolute Concept, something which transcends your personal experience and contributes to rationality for people in general, which is why I believe groups are especially helpful to think with! Everyone brings their unique perspective to help each other understand key world currents.

When figuring out an Absolute Concept from a dream, we are delving into something very particular to create what could possibly be an Absolute Universal, something that the signifying word grasps onto. Our dreams invite us to think about ideas more carefully for both ourselves, as well as to benefit the others in our lives through a deeper understanding of an idea. A recent concept that has come from my dreams has been "Exchange," and this came out of a repeating dream where the second dream was a lucid dream. The first dream had the theme of me giving money to a homeless man, but the amount was not even worth handing over, only twenty pence (GBP). He handed me back twenty Euro cents and a cave etching. My initial associative process involved me recollecting a story where my mom had been vacationing before I was born and received a cave drawing at the local rate instead of the tourist rate, and when the shop owner saw that her guide did this for her, the shop owner was upset at the unfair exchange. My mom was quite pleased with getting a deal on this cave etching! The dream itself thinks of the economic disparity in the starkest way possible, not just class difference, but total destitution, and yet he gives me something back. I begin to see myself in this destitute state, the homeless person giving something back. Also, I think about how I project this onto others as well, and maybe at times feel upset at others for seeing themselves as destitute or having no resources when they really do in fact have resources that can lift them out of destitution. In my second dream, the same dynamic occurs where I am given money by a homeless person, or inscribed by the destitute person as more destitute, projected upon as the real destitute one. I realize that this is just like my dream before I come to realize that in fact, I am still dreaming! I run over to somebody and I ask them, in my dream, what the dream means. That is to say, I ask my dream to interpret itself. My dream replies, "two sides of the same coin."

I've split this space into a place where you can write dreams that you have, and a seperate section where we can talk about the different concepts that come up from our dreams. For the Dream Journal section, you can write your dream as is, or you can include your associations that come up for you. For the Absolute Concept section, please only use one word for the title of the post, and there we talk about different ideas and concepts that come up in your dreams!
