I REALLY need to find out what medication you are using ?
Can I get some so I can jump to the next lesson Harryopal's post is alluding to?
Astral travelling will save me a bucket on air fares..

In all seriousness though Dusty River Gardens you have to understand the majority of people on here are crusty old , cynical gits with a very jaded view on life , religion and politics in general so obtuse posts such as yours are bound to meet with some derision and sarcasm.

Cheers
Getting crusty but not as cynical as Markit

( Apologies to Matselah who is neither crusty or old )

I think we've been invaded by ChatGBT.

Hold your laptop or desktop in front of you as you back down the alley, like a computer "human shield".
Yes. The user should post his musings to ChatGPT that will be more than willing to respond in kind with endless stream of bullshit.

What a bunch of Tahi Sapi! Words that only a machine can produce. I don't know what symbols they are talking about. A dream is either a good one or one screwed up.

I fed that first post into Bard AI and got this back.

==================
"The interpretation of dream symbols is a complex and subjective process. It is influenced by a variety of factors, including the individual's personal experiences, beliefs, and cultural context.
Individual backgrounds, beliefs, and cultural contexts shape the meanings attributed to dream symbols. For example, a snake may represent something different to a person from a Hindu culture than it does to a person from a Christian culture. In Hinduism, the snake is a symbol of fertility and rebirth, while in Christianity, it is often seen as a symbol of evil.
Cultural symbolism, archetypes, and collective unconsciousness can also impact the interpretation of dream symbols across different societies. Cultural symbolism refers to the shared meanings that people in a particular culture attach to certain objects, events, or actions. For example, in many cultures, water is seen as a symbol of life and renewal. Archetypes are universal symbols that are found in the dreams and myths of people from all cultures. For example, the archetype of the hero is found in the stories of many different cultures. The collective unconscious is a term used by Carl Jung to refer to the shared storehouse of memories and experiences that all humans have inherited from our ancestors.
Personal associations and emotional connections with specific symbols can also influence their significance in dreams. For example, if a person has had a negative experience with snakes, they may be more likely to associate snakes with fear or danger in their dreams.
There are a number of effective methods or tools that individuals can employ to explore the personal symbolism in their dreams. One method is to keep a dream journal. This involves writing down your dreams as soon as you wake up. This will help you to remember your dreams more clearly and to begin to see patterns and themes. Another method is to free-associate. This involves writing down whatever comes to mind when you think about a particular dream symbol. This can help you to uncover hidden meanings and associations.
The exploration of dream symbols can enhance self-reflection, personal growth, and a deeper understanding of the subconscious mind. By paying attention to our dreams, we can gain insights into our thoughts, feelings, and motivations. We can also learn about our fears, desires, and unresolved issues. This can help us to grow as individuals and to live more fulfilling lives.
Here are some additional tips for interpreting dream symbols:
  • Consider the context of the dream. What was happening in the dream? What were you feeling?
  • Pay attention to the details of the dream. What objects, people, or animals were in the dream? What colors were present?
  • Think about your personal associations with the dream symbols. What do these symbols mean to you?
  • Look up the meaning of dream symbols in a dream dictionary. However, it is important to remember that dream dictionaries are not always accurate. The best way to interpret your dreams is to pay attention to your own personal associations and experiences.
Dream interpretation can be a helpful tool for self-understanding and personal growth. However, it is important to remember that dreams are not always literal. They can be symbolic and can represent a variety of different things. The best way to interpret your dreams is to pay attention to your own personal associations and experiences."

This would be a wonderful exchange if one were a monk in a cell and sworn to silence.

Wow, This a lot of words that are for me are useless. I do agree that the things in your life affect you, whether they were good or bad. I find the good ones turn out to be good and make good dreams. And the bad ones go sour, and you just can't fix it, and wake up feeling sad. That seems to hang on over many years. They say let it go, but if someone really screwed you over, should you forgive them? I think No! Just forget them and carry on with life in the present. They were a--holes and it is their Karma. Just be here Now, and do the best you can. Let me know what you think. Peace
