Deep Sleep Dreaming
Dreaming. In the Abrahamic
cultural tradition, dreams have played a fairly standard though minor
part. Most mentions of dreams or dreaming come in Genesis and
in the book of Daniel. Dreams are employed as a standard device
of god’s forewarning or an individual’s sensing god’s
intentions. In the Christian Testament, Matthew is the only one to employ
it in his stories. He uses it mainly during the “Flight from Herod”
to deliver a warning to Joseph and Mary.
Earthfolk claim a more significant value
for dreaming. In Genesis, Adam is laid down into a “deep
sleep.” This phrase occurs only a handful of times. Abraham
had at least one deep sleep. In the Christian Testament, several disciples
fall asleep while Jesus is in the Garden of Gethsemane.
There is a sense
in these references that to sleep and deep sleep means that the
sleeper actually gains spiritual insight—Awake! Once
so newly awake, then, their spiritual action or moral action takes
place in wakefulness, in consciousness. In fact, “Dreamer, awake!”
is a common story-telling device to denote change and the discernment
of a great insight.
Earthfolk hold that there is a
tremendously
significant “more” to this “deep sleep”
imagery than meets the eye.
Why? Because it is the device used to present the
most significant moment in Genesis. Namely, the
“creation” of woman—which is actually the
moment of the
Obliteration of the Womb.
