The Living Force
No idea how meaningful this might be - mainly the thing that stays on my mind is an image and a concept from the dream I'll describe - and in describing it, this is what I hope to convey.
A few nights ago I had a dream which was, as usual, shifting greatly in form. Near the end, from being a person and interacting with another person, to something like a side-scrolling video-game environment with a symbolic character, with a clear idea of a task and struggle - the content or essence abstractly represented in this form.
After a while came a shift, as background dream narration suddenly took over. In this 2D environment, a place was being approached by the character, containing an object to be reached - but reaching it should be impossible as the "laws" of the environment forbids it; the narration began and was immediately followed by this understanding. "So you have this impossible desire...", it went, proceeding to a demonstration of sorts. A sequence of action proceeded as I watched; the character went partially across the space - towards the object - and persisted in the same particular way over and over. And finally reached it - and then CRACK!
There was an abstract "structure" encompassing the whole of the dream environment (which extended far beyond what came to be "visited") - and in reaching this "object" and fulfilling "this impossible desire", against the "rules" of this system, the entire structure cracked - much like an egg. Previously containing "something", the "juice" had now gone out of it - it had been broken to the core.
A strange but, within that dream, significant victory. At that point, the character moved on "off-screen", neither followed nor directed by me; I then became aware that the last remnant of opposing forces (enemies) had approached and taken it on, and worried about it, as I knew a battle was taking place. Though first taking a significant hit, the "character" apparently emerged victorious, and the dream then ended.
And the message...
It seems to work on many levels. Struggle with oneself, for instance; endless interior "useless laws" that keep one mechanical and in one's place - and in struggling and struggling, eventually something might go "crack". And when it comes in general to small tasks and obstacles, things that require learning and/or that one finds slightly out of reach. And on a larger scale - it may apply to life and the General Law, where the result is passing into the Law of Exception upon finally cracking the hold of the General Law upon oneself. On the largest scale, if humanity were to learn and to struggle persistently - and crack the structure now holding it so firmly...
In short, the message is: The laws under which The Matrix operates has glitches - so find and exploit them; and as we are, literally, part of it, this begins in ourselves!
Extending the analogy further, the "quality" of The Matrix is comparable to that of a big, commercial video game - "it looks like it works as intended and we wishfully think it does, so let's ship it!"
