last night I dreamt that my cat had divided itself into two cats. Both
cats were clones and happily running about and interacting. I could
see both and was discussing with some friends the puzzle of why only
some people, like me could see the constant clonage of things living.
During the dream I had the amazing perception that this was happening
to all living objects and it was as logical and certain as anything
perceived during the day with eyes wide open.
Also amazing - the "belief" that this is happening to macro (living)
objects persisted in my brain for about a half an hour after I woke
up. Clearly, translating into English your "amoebas" is having a
profound effect on my unconscious mind.
This also highlights for me the mysterious nature of "belief". As you
mention, early on in the thesis, we can believe no matter what falsity
while we are asleep and dreaming. The occasional powerful dream like
this one that penetrates the awake conscious mind shakes the very
foundations of what we consider to be "reality".
What then, is the value of paying attention to the dreaming mind in
this odyssey of "The Fabric of Consciousness" we are all hypnotized by
at this time?
PS - expect to post to this thread an instalment of the continuation
of the translation by tonight - am being extremely careful to get it
dead right to avoid any ambiguities.
