Dear Lee, (Questions on Dreamwalking)
Someone wrote me again, and said they'd dreamed about me. They have never met me. This is getting more and more common and I told her so. In fact, I get 2-3 notes, tweets, texts, emails or calls a week on average from folks letting me know I have been in their dreams. Sometimes I am doing innocuous things, other times being the voice that helps them process their emotions, sometimes I am their lover, sometimes an antagonist in the action flick.She dreamed of me last night, and today was given a link to my site, saw a pic of me, recognized me, and wrote me.I told her I was not surprised, as the incidents of my appearances in dreamtime are growing.She asked me:Why do you think that you dreamwalk? Where does your identity lie if it shows up in other peoples consciousness, like that?I responded with the following, cleared up slightly from the original email for posting here :)There are a few questions there:1) Why do I dreamwalk:I am a spirit worker who does a lot of pathwork laying astrally, and dreams are a great tool for that sort of work. In our dreams we have the capacity to think outside our standard limitations, and as a spirit worker I began by using my own dreams to work outside my own perceived limitations. If I begin to manifest something as possible in dreamtime, what other connections can I make, what other possibilities manifest, there and in turn, here?2) Why do I appear in folks dreams:Some of this is "Lee the Person" and a lot of it is "Lee the Archetype." I am more than me. I have become this energetic construct for a lot of kinky, lgbt, and other folk who have met me and read my work- an idea, a construct. At least that is where it started. But "Lee the Archetype" is growing, changing, appearing other places, doing other things outside and far beyond the scope of "Lee the Person."I have purposefully handed my owner, the deity/Totem Bear, this piece of me to use as is Hers to use. She has taken "Lee the Archetype" and made him/them/her/it into a thing for pushing people, challenging them, having them open up their own doorways instead of needing "Lee the Person" to do that work all the time. I find this oddly comforting, as it means I am, as I was before, immortal. Like Jim Henson who lives on through every memory every made or shown of this gnostically imbued thing called "Muppet," so do I live on, grow, manifest and make real this essence, the source, the primal core of "Lee-ness" through the manifestations of the larger possibility known as "Lee," or my teachings, concepts, ideas and more, on this planet and in dreamtime.3) Where is my identity/consciousness if its elsewhere:I practice two-footing between worlds a lot, so the answer is "yes". "I AM" can appear in multiple places, "I AM" can and does time travel. This thing that is me, beyond my fleshsuit, can do this because time and space are not linear. Mind you. does not mean I, the I that is Lee the Person, has control over this at all times, but Lee that is I AM, that is greater spirit conciousness, the Lee that is YES, does and can :)
