How seriously do we take the rather mundane insights of dreams?

[PaulKH]

Hi, j. oak (joke?). I'm confused how you could think homicidal rage and the orange pillar of fire are mundane. Definition of mundane: lacking interest or excitement; dull (which would be the contextual definition used in this thread, vs the "worldly" definition). To the point, homicidal rage is *never* mundane, nor is any dream or premonition of such (nor your brush with what could very well be the ancestral energy-memory). If you would please explain the connection, I'd appreciate it because anytime I have come close to this type of projection or imagery, the term "mundane" never enters the picture.

Examples of mundane would be watching a field of grass sway in the breeze, or people casually go about their day (and then questioning if there is underlying meaning attached to those seemingly uninteresting sequences). Hopefully you understand my confusion (am I being too literal here?).

you are not being too literal. in fact,that thought occured to me but only after i had posted it.it is not mundane by any stretch of the imagination. i do not know what i was thinking when i posted it as seemingly mundane dream turning into something awful. it was awful right from the beginning. what ti is an example of is clarvoyance, and the fact that this an example of a bewildering sign. as i have pointed out, the prophecy of Jeane Dixon was much more explicit.she knew what was going to happen and where. my own warnings have been much more indirect. i can give another example,which truly was mundane(seemingly) but also had dreadful consequences. the two signs are alike in that both are related related to acts of violence, which occured the next day,both made headlines and both involved the death of more than one person. if you would care to learn it ,that is.

Might insights from sleep dreams increasingly become valued - esp. considering how Artifical Intelligence (AI) TECH is progressing?

In the coming years, might the value of sleep-dream content begin to exceed the value of even AI (or AI/human) insights?

With AI TECH progressing, any additional perspectives since the ^above^ was posted just over one-year ago?

Ah, yes that makes much sense--sometimes we need to share to the point that it bursts from us even when it is barely related to the topic at hand. Of course if you have a personal/personalized example of the seemingly mundane connecting to a greater meaning (or seeming to), this is the place to share.

ADDENDUM: With so much confusion in our lives, wouldn't the quieter, mundane insights (both from dreams, and our waking lives) prove to be our most valued insights?

Anybody in occupations requiring creative insights - that is insights proving ever more valued? Keeping dream journals, and discussing insights via journals might just prove to be quite valued!

i am quite in accord with your views. often what starts out as seemingly ordinary may prove to have a deeper meaning. i look forward to your views on this.

this is more than barely related to the topic. in fact it is quite relevant to it. this dream took place in an airport hangar,where someone who seemed vaguely familiar was telling me how he would be there for me in the difficult times ahead. there were 2 people there but he was the only one who spoke . it had me speculating as to why this person seemed familiar but i could not recall the circumstances under which i had met him.i spent the whole day wondering. the whole day of September 10,2001. the next day i found out what he meant by the difficult times ahead and also the significance of an airport hangar. my warnings often work this way. these two stand out,because in both cases what was going to happen occurred the next day. and both involved acts of violence on a large level,which made the news. of the two,only this one qualifies as something mundane (on the surface) turning out to be something very unmundane indeed. i have had other clairvoyant dreams but these stand out because of what happened on a national and international scale.

An example of a dream yielding a mundane insight (of potential value): A couple of holiday seasons ago, I had a dream of a see-through bargain-bin on a table at what appeared to be at an independent specialty retail store. The bargain-bin was placed on a table by the checkout lanes.

On the bargian-bin was an advertisment of a novel looking key-chain. The text on the AD by the keychain said, "never lose your keys again!" - hence the design of a keychain which might always stand-out, and hence would be difficult to misplace.

One question here, if this keychain would at least be rarely prone to misplacement, than why would such a keychain be associated with the stigma of being an AD placed on a bargain bin?

In a nutshell, a boring, mundane insight in "the whole scheme of things" regarding dream yielding valuable insights. Go figure!

UPDATE to 'post #10:' In this dream, I felt that this specialty retailer ran an excellent store - that is this store knew how to best handle bargain-bin discount tasks.

Not being in the retail business, there might have been a reason why a seemingly popular product (the keychain with a notable design which might make the keychain hard to misplace) might have been an AD on a bargain-bin.

One reason might be, the keychain might not have proven to best minimize the misplacement of keys - hence a product (via low online consumer approvals) in the end did not experience robust sales, and hence why such a product ended-up in a bargain-bin.

Any experiences in businesses, and occupations that value creative insights?

Is there a growing interest of dream insights playing important roles in professional settings?

The one drawback on dream insights that actually prove valuable are that such dream insights are extremely rare.
