MORPHEUS
Do we share another reality in dreams? Is Inception more than a movie? To sleep, perchance to dream.
In a world where technology exists to enter the human mind through dream invasion, a highly skilled thief is given a final chance at redemption which involves executing his toughest job to date: Inception. So states the synopsis of the movie.
Yet dreams have been known to shape reality for ages. In the Jewish mystical study, the Cabala, the sephirah or sphere just above our waking reality is the dream world. Shaman's throughout time have been walking the dream world in order to heal or create magic in the physical world.
Lately, those connected to me casually remark on the marked increased frequency of group dreams. Yes, we dream together. Some of us help others cross over, some work on the electro-magnetic grid, while still others heal and help others.
We do shape reality by our thoughts and feelings. We dream and interact with others known and unknown. In the realm of the gods, this world may only be a playground of dreams and possibilities.
We shape reality - our energy goes to our focus. As I step outside for a breath of air, a warm tropic breeze astonishes me. I do not live in a tropical area, however, I grew up visiting the beach often. The scent of heavy salt air is all too familiar.
We become conscious in our dreams and we can consciously change our reality. To remember is not the same as being aware. Sleep, re-member, dream.
Call on the archetypal Morpheus.
Morpheus (pronounced /ˈmɔrfiəs/ or /ˈmɔrfjuːs/; Greek: Μορφεύς, Morpheus, or Μορφέας, Morpheas, "shaper [of dreams]") in Greek mythology is the god of dreams,leader of the Oneiroi. Morpheus has the ability to take any human form and appear in dreams. His true semblance is that of a winged daemon, imagery shared with many of his siblings.
Zeus was sent to visit Agamemnon in the Iliad (see Oneiroi).
The land of dreams (Demos Oneiroi) was located somewhere in the underworld, presumably near the domain of Night and her children. Poets often referred to the two gates leading from the dream realm. One gate was fashioned of sawn ivory, the other of polished horn. False dreams were said to pass through the gate of ivory, while truthful, prophetic dreams winged their way out through the gate of horn. There was also said to be a wilted elm tree in Morpheus' domain, upon which the dreams fashioned by the Oneiroi hung, with the appearance of winged phantom-shapes.
Attributes
Morpheus sends images of humans in dreams or visions, and is responsible for shaping dreams, or giving shape to the beings that inhabit dreams. Phobetor made fearsome dreams (etymologically related to "phobia" from the Greek φόβος "fear"). Phantasos produced tricky and unreal dreams (hence "fantasy", "phantasmagoria", etc.). Together, these attendants of Hypnos rule the realm of dreams.
Morpheus also had special responsibility for the dreams of kings and heroes. For these reasons, Morpheus is often referred to as "Morpheus, the Greek god of dreams", in superiority to his brothers.
The drug Morphine is named after Morpheus for its ability to make one sleepy and dreamy.
We do dream together and dreams are shaped by a higher consciousness. If you see me there, please say hello.
Meanwhile, meditate.
