She came from no where, she approched me, looked at me, her eyes showed mystery and meaning somehow combined with such an overwhelming beauty I could not move. She understood me, in the deepest possible way. She put her head on my shoulders and held me in her arms. I was totally overcome. It was so intense, I awoke! I did not sleep after this. It was early morning and I got up.
I could feel her for hours after this dream, I beleive she has awokend some faculty in me that had perhaps been dormant. I long to be with her once more, but I can now see her in many women. She is there in their eyes. I know this for certain. I trust my most intimate feelings. It was an experience. For me it was real as time itself is real. Even time may be an illusion, but this was an undenyable experience that has changed my perception of reality.
No! It was not a religious experience. I am not so pretencious!
No! The Devil was not arround at that time, he and I know each other already, I can recognise him. If he does show himself, I will deal with him. I am not alone and this he knows!
Also this. Later this morning I went for a physical at my local medical clinic. I was still under the spell of this dream to an extent. The Doctor that saw me in the small examination room was a young woman GP that I had seen twice before in the recent past. She also moves me like no other. I have so much confidence in her, if she asked for me to let her inject a substance in my artery telling me to simply trust her, i would. I would let her do much more than that.
Well, she started questionning me for the physical(it was to fill out a form in order to maintain a class 1 truck driving permit). I could not hold back my emotions, my eyes were watery, she asked me about my eyesight. I told her it was absolutly perfect...she smiled...I was looking so deeply in her eyes...she was so close to my dream...she was unusually pleasant with me, smiling in a so attractive manner...she asked me to sit on the examination table, to take my blood pressure...she stood so close her body was touching mine...Guess what?...My pressure was abnormaly high...she looked at me again and asked "is your blood pressure usually high?"..."no it isn't!" I answered...
she sort of said as if asking a question: "it's perhaps because of the form i'm filling out for you?"...I answered "I'm excited right now"...she keap her cool and continued filling out the form...We talked a little and she was smiling so beautifully !
Then, I asked her this: "Can you refer me to a woman psychotherapist that you know personnaly?" Well we talked about the different qualifications of professionnals in the domain of psychology. It was all cool, no hang ups on either side, no reason. She said there are women psychologist in private practice but that she did not know any personnaly but she wrote me a request form for consultation in the psychology department of that public clinic.
Now, and here is the punch line: I am not ill, I am not distressed, stressed, like if someone won the lottery, yes, but not distressed. I feel so alive and full of love and emotions it is close to overwhelming, but it is not this either. It is under control. It's as if I am just beginning to discover beauty, the beauty of women's eyes and the unexplainable love they can show us. I could perhaps get a private consultation with this GP but what will the outcome be? My trust in her is so strong the outcome could only be positive! Still, doubt is just around the corner! Perhaps I ask too much of her! This is unfair on my part! A woman psychologist would be better equipted and we would have some basic notions in commond at the onset. Also my work medical plan may well cover these types of private consultations. Damn $$$.
Wy share these personal matters at THGF?
I trust you guys. Some of you have touched me already, and for this I feel a deep dept towards you. You are like a Brotherhood in arms of some sort.
I sincerely wish you all the best this world may offer and may you find the means to attain your goals.

Um, damn. That's cool though. I'd say just go with the flow and be polite. With any luck if you follow your intuition it will go fine. Just try not to rationalize or think too much and remember that not all relationships are meant to last. So just enjoy each moment for what it's worth and never look back.
Heh heh. And remember, no means no. :-p

Sincerely appreciate your view point.
In fact had not even considered that my behaviour/experience at the clinic could be interpreted as "coming onto her"! But, in fact, perhaps this is how she saw me.
This however was totally absent from my mind at the time. And even now, this is not what is going on here. It is on a different level. The level that that dream was at. In that dream there was no inclination whatsoever towards physical sexual dimensions.
Your opinion does indeed give me more inseight to my ongoing situation, and I thank you for this.

Hello pike, you say that "the beauty of women's eyes and the unexplainable love they can show us" you also say "It is on a different level. The level that that dream was at." you have also spoke of beautiful eyes in another thread where you stated "that’s just one of my fantasies" now I think this has a lot to do with the way you are feeling. I also believe you also work long night shifts. Were you perhaps tired and confusing fantasy with a dream? I can't recommend how you should proceed, that’s for you to decide. You should however remember your "three little treasures" I'm sure their love for you far out weighs any imagined or other that you may have for this woman. Good luck.

Ok, so let me get this right? You are wondering if you should just ask her out or something? If that's it, go for it. But I'm not sure what you are asking exactly...
Look out for #1. Don't step in #2 either.
Are you ok chum?
You sound like you need a night out with the lads.

Get her drunk
If my baby don't love me, I know, I know, her sister will.
Ok, I understand it now. I say tell her what you feel man. I mean, if you don't and look back on it years from now, you'll regret never trying. So I say, why not...
Look out for #1. Don't step in #2 either.
Women are as you say. They are attractive in not only a physical way but also an emotional way. They are also almost all crazy and worthless as tits on a bull. The fact that they are emotional makes them not only loveable but also impossible to figure out. Anything that hurts their feelings is fair game for destruction. Ever wonder why they were always lost on Voyager? Chick capitan. Good thing the life support system never hurt her feelings or she would have turned it off. You will not find John Luke out lost in the universe stopping to ask directions no sir.
Remember if you ain't Muslim you ain't Shiite.
Sincerely apologize for being late posting. Had this reply ready since about 19:00.
Thanks for your input. I'm now quite certain of not being completly understood about what is/has happened.
The dream was a dream, but a significant one. Most everyone has had one, or more, of those profound and deeply moving dreams that DEMAND to be addressed in some matter. This is what I had last night. An inspiring and emotionnaly powerfull dream. At the writting of this, I still feel the emotions engendered by her embrace...
The visit to the MD did of course happend.
But I had no intention whatsoever of "hitting on her". For one thing, she is a MD and I am nothing. She is perhaps married and has kids. Again, the idea of "hitting on her", was never in the picture, not in my picture. Cannot conveive wy she would even consider it herself. I was simply experiencing my emotional state at the time, and the idea of seducing her was totally absent. I was much more inclined by my state of mind to seak some profound communication and understanding with her threw honest talk. This only happened very biefly, as I described, but it did happend and I feel better for it. But this must continu, further. No harm in this. On the contrary, a profound feeling of compassion and understanding may be the end result. I strive for this, so stronly.
Perhaps I have mislead you, comrades, in comming accross as a lonely man, caught in a unhappy marriage and in search of a replacement to my wife. If this is the case, then I appologise. I have told my girls in the recent past, that daddy will be with mummy till the very end. I beleive in this!
So, how to reconcile my present emotional experiences with my matrimonial life? This is not a new subjet! I am referring to the Hindu faith, to which I have inclinations. I must do more research in this area , but these may be considered: the great deity of Mahâdevî and also a deity incarnation of Vishnou and Civa. These beleifs do not interfere with family life, and in fact solidify it by giving man a greater sense of purpose for his sexual energies. Is this last paragraph, BS? Perhaps for now it is!
I beleive our sexual impulses are evolving towards a new level of meaning. I have posted this elswere, and in this also I do beleive. I don't have all the answers, I am/have been a seeker of truth, but have abandoned this for long enough. A return to arms now seems to be in order. I am but following directions put forth to me by experiences I am undergoing, and these have been more frequent since my joining THGC.
So once again I say thanks for your no small part in the aspect of intellectual stimulation.

I too like to ponder adn think about things such as this, im glad someone has posted something like this.
I dont know all the details but could it be that your dream was forshadowing your meethin with the MD. You are a married man an you plan to stay that way yet you feel no sexual aspect in your dreams so cold i be that your wife is not really fulfilling your emotional needs. I have had important dreams too but not one the lvl of your dream.
I don't know what your looking for and mabey you dont know exactly either. I would try diffrent things, activites that you would not normaly do. I would say talk with your wife about some of these things and see what see thinks.
Just wonder what exactly are your thoughts about our impulses evolving?
You put up some very intresting ideas Pike, Thanks.
pike i have a spot of insomnia going on here, what do you suggest?
Although it has a lot of good ideas, beer doesn't know anything about computers!!!
You know how marriages can be. I'ts been over 15 years. We were married fairly young, speaking of maturity. We are not all that compatable. This happens so so often. Look at the divorse rate. I however will make this marrige work, as it is now. Very good family moments none the less. Best for kids to have parents together, even when the going gets slightly difficult. Not talking about fighting day in day out. We very rarely have reason to argue.
Yes the dream was special.
I will tell you this, when i was 18/19 I keap a diary of my dreams. 50-75 pages A4 of them. Would put the alarm clock to right in the middle of the night to find out what I was dreaming at different hours of the night. Did lot's of
stuff back then.
Some was a little too

Well mystic I do wish to talk about this. I will perhaps be getting over my head because everything is not yet all clear for me.
The practice of Kundalini yoga dictates abstinence for 40 days with special types of yogic exercises. The goal is simply put "enlightenment"
That was one aspect, and it is an ancient practice. What I feel is happening is this. We are physically evolving extraponentially. In the 16th/17th century men over 5 feet tall were the exception. Today my beleif is that our sexual organs are evolving exponetially as well, not necesseraly in size, but mostly in their influence on our behaviour. To me orgasms are stronger and mostly the sexual energie engendered by our organs have a more pronounced and profound effect on us. My beleif is that a controled abstinence of lesser degree than dictated by Kundalini yoga would be sufficient to elevate us, within sexual intercourse, to the equivalent levels of the former but by gradual steps as in a 6 month periode of perhaps intercourse varing from 2-5 week intervals. This is definitely subject to great variations depending on the individual in question.
right ?
Buddha, Mahomet, Jesus and Confucius! They once cared for us, perhaps they still do!
dude, you got it really bad. i had a dream a lot like that, but it was in that gt 500 from gone in 60 seconds, and angelina jolie was my girl, good god that was a great dream, many nights after that i thought about it as hard as i could trying to get back there. that stuck with me for a couple days. any one who knows me knows i aint exactly good with the ladys, i guess it goes with the computer buisness? but i say go for it. but dont let her know how insane she makes you, could make her think your a freak or somthing.
i went to the tomshardware forums and all i got was this lousy signature.
I don't exactly know much about him, but the coincidence is that I read 33 pages A4 about psychology, philosophy and religion. This because I have a test tomorrow about this for a subject called 'Religion' ('Godsdienst' in Dutch).
All this makes me remember about dreams and Freuds depth-psychology. I don't know much about Jung and psychology, we only learned his vision on religion.
<b>THGC:</b> before:
, after:
.
I've had tons of additional thoughts since then. I hope that I can remember them all and contribute them clearly.
Umm ... to start with, I've noticed that a lot of times even other people in our dreams still represent ourselves. So it could just be that you are discovering a new part of you to explore. Just because modern society defines gender traits by their reproductive organs doesn't mean that these genders are limited to exactly these traits. Men can be emotional too.
Also, while I do truely admire your conviction to remain with your wife (and wish more people could have such conviction) that doesn't mean sticking with her is always the best thing to do. If you are growing to a new level and she doesn't meet your needs and will not allow you to search for other relationships which do meet your new needs of growth, then perhaps the relationship should be reconsidered. Similarly, she may very well allow you to make new friends with people who will help you explore these new dimentions of yourself, sexual or not. Or she may even herself be all that you need. I suggest having several long talks with her about it if you haven't yet. True love can usually find a way to thrive even in unusual circumstances.
And, of course, go with the flow and just enjoy it for all that it is. Definately find someone to talk about it with, and definately allow new friendships to spring forth as a result of it. Alternatively, even consider old friendships with people and determine if any may be holding you back. Not everyone is meant to be in our lives forever. Sometimes people are only in our lives to teach us something, or help us through something, or just to have fun knowing for a while. When we hold onto temporary relationships beyond the time that they should have ended, we only strain them and ruin the joy that they originally brought.
As for prolonged intentional abstinance, I thought that was what marriage was about.
Heh heh. (Just kidding.) Seriously though, if you think that it is right for you and will bring enlightenment, go for it. For you, it just might.
Personally, I don't think that humans are getting any more out of the act than they were in the past. I think though that today people are opening up more. We are exploring the concept of temporary relationships with fervor, as well doing it purely for entertainment purposes. We are learning when and how to put emotional ties into the physical relationships, and when and how not to. I think we are learning how to get more out of it emotionally and also how to protect ourselves emotionally. It doesn't make the physican aspect any better or worse, but it does make the combination of physical and emotional reach all new levels that some would even call spiritual or religious.
So hey, don't look a gift horse in the mouth. Take the opportunity to experience and grow, and don't hold yourself back for fear of what others might think, because others don't know what is best for you. Only you do.

Without opening a book I can say this:
Freud based all of human`s striving`s,
especiallyreligion, to the chanelling
of sexual energies. The religious
impulse is only an abnormal mental
state. Most psychological disorders
can be attributed and determined, by
psycho-analytical means, as being
caused by sexual impulses improperly
diverted.
Jung on the other hand explained many
psychological disorders as a stemming
from difficulties in attaining the
"wholeness" of one's Self.
For Jung the striving to wholeness also
explained the religious impulses.
Jung acknowledged the existance of
these impulses. Jung discovered many
facets of the humand psyche, including
the "anima/animus" components i.e. male/
female in every person.
He also discovered from his many
clinical observations and studies, that the
humand psyche was not only composed of a
personal unconsience but of also a
"collective uncon-sciousness". This last
notion is slightly esoteric, and other
of his notions are also as such.
Adler was also a disciple of Freud
and broke with his sexual dogma, as
Jung did, and he developped the
notion of primordial "striving
for power" as and explanation to most
psychological disorders. Religion
for Adler was a compensation of the psyche
against it`s perceived weekness against
the uncontrollable universe.
Please excuse my spelling
and sorry for the delay.

Sir phoenix, you are an enlightened dude, and by posting to help, this only confirms it.
Well your comment on the notion of "genders" has not fallen on death ears. Look what Jung discovered from his researches i.e. "anima/animus". This I know exists.
"Marriage until death do us part", for some unknow reason I still adhere to that. Also my wife is a Bsc in biochemistry and quit open minded. She just yells at me a lot ;0)
Enlightenment for one, will not necessarely be attained in the same mammer for another.

Sex for entertainment ?
Um! Really wonder about that one!
BTW Entertaiment can be different things to different people...

Thanks. It was not without struggle though, and I still feel far from truely enlightened. Sometimes we just come into the world with too many different things to work through. Maybe in my next life I'll get there. Nah. Better make that at least two lives from now. My next life I want to spend as an attractive Asian-American bisexual woman on the prowl. Heh heh.
That should be good for decades of fun. After all, life shouldn't always be spent being serious.
It sounds like you're making considerable headway down the path of enlightenment too.
| Quote : Well your comment on the notion of "genders" has not fallen on death ears. Look what Jung discovered from his researches i.e. "anima/animus". This I know exists. |
Unfortunately, it's been years since I studied psychology, and even then I usually delved more into the <i>truely</i> abnormal psychology. Heh heh. Personally though, I think humans all started out as androginous and over the centuries we lost that. (Not sure if it was by intentional choice, or by happenstance.) But I think ultimately, we all have the potential qualities of both genders. We just choose to ignore some. I'd like to think I'm finding my way closer to being a balance, but my wife seems convinced that in some ways I'm still a typical man. Heh heh.
| Quote : "Marriage until death do us part", for some unknow reason I still adhere to that. Also my wife is a Bsc in biochemistry and quit open minded. She just yells at me a lot ;0) |
It's a great rule to live by, at least as long as you fall in love with the right person. My first true love wasn't a permanent relationship. At the time, I hadn't wanted to believe that. From here though, I can easily see that such was the case. We both had things to teach each other so that we could grow as people, but we weren't really suited to live together for the rest of our lives. It could have been done, but it would have been an unhappy life for both of us. And then I would have missed out on the second love of my life, whom I <i>know</i> I am destined to spend at least half of my life with, and probably all of the rest of it too. She has an open mind too though, and I think if I ever needed it, she would be open to allowing me to have a very close relationship with someone else and still maintain our relationship. So far though, I've never needed it.
I guess the point of my rambling here is that relationships can just be funny things. I think all girlfriends/wives yell (or nag) a lot. Heh heh. I think they just have to feel that they're in control.
| Quote : Um! Really wonder about that one!
|
Exactly though. Some people really don't need to put an emotional attachment to it, and it can be very uplifting for them that way. (Or just plain fun.) Other people though can't emotionally detach themselves from the act and thus don't find it as entertaining (if at all) that way. It can even be harmful to people like that. I think though that this is one area where humanity is evolving. We are learning to get in touch with our emotions, not just to learn to feel them more, but also to learn to enjoy experiences without emotional attachments. And as humanity evolves this way, we open up so many new aspects into our relationships with one another and get more out of them as well. Just my thoughts and observations anyway.
Personally, in this life I'm still to the point where I have the need to associate emotions to everything, most especially in matters of 'love'. However I can also see the benefits from not limiting myself in that way, even if I am not actually capable of doing so myself. So I think in my next life I'll explore the opposite, so that in the life after that I'll be ready to enjoy a life of balance between both ways.

I am alwayes getting over my head in what I try to reason out. I mean that you come up with a theory that you believe to be correct, but you know that your ideas are based on experiences and feeling that you have had but you dont know if your idea is correct or based on substantial knowlage.
I do like to talk about "truth" and "enlightenment" but it is so much easier to just live your life not things about what will happen next. One reason I say this is because after brooding over my thoughts I sometimes become sullen and gloomy thinking why me, what is my purpose, why do i have to suffer. I also notice that, or at least it seems this way to me, that people that don't think about consequences or non intelectual people see to have more fun, not caring about death, peace and such. Of courese i realise that if they had a near feath experience that would start to realize that they are mortal. But i still cannot help my self from tring to break down things.
I believe we are evolving in a psychial and mental level. I think the mental evolution is based on the psychial evelution loosely. I also believe that during intercourse energy or a force of some sort is released. This could be awnsered scientifically by the reliese of certain hormones. There are many hormones that have not been discovered or have not been possible to studied exactly what they affect, but i believe that it goes deeper than that, which I have yet to find out.
All i can do is lead a good and true life and have hope that their is an afterlife for the faithfull.
Well, giving advise sometimes has a contrary effect to that for which it was intended, human nature I suppose. So since I wish to contribute, I will not give advise. I will simply talk of my cousin. <A HREF="http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~mayersd/" target="_new">my cousin </A>
He is
, very much so. Wy? Look at his project description at that page!
He once told me, many years back, when he himself was going threw a periode of self searching, the following. He said "you know, I really do not care anymore about being happy in life, I beleive I may go threw life not laughing as many do and not enjoying many things as others do, but I accept this and because I have accepted this, it does not bother me anymore".
After so many years of this, What he had said sort of stuck for some reason. The reason to me is that there was much wisdom in his statement.
Will always be nice he hear from you, mystic.
see ya
pike
Buddha, Mahomet, Jesus and Confucius! They once cared for us, perhaps they still do!
Besides, what would be the fun in being happy all of the time? I'd get bored. We watch a sad movie, we're sad. We watch a violent movie, we feel violent. We watch a joyous movie, we feel happy.
Yet each time, are we unhappy with these feelings? Of course not. We enjoy them. We think highly of the movie not for the emotions that it makes us feel, but for the simple fact that it makes us feel period.
Now exchange 'movie' with 'event' and 'watch' with 'live'. We live a sad event, we feel sad. We live a violent event, we feel violent. This is life, to experience things. Not just the happy, but <i>everything</i>. And once we recognize this, then we can understand that just because something made us feel a certain way does not mean that our life is a product of that. Just as you can be uplifted by a sad movie, you can be uplifted by a sad event. You don't have to be sad just because the event was sad.
To me anyway, life is just about going with the experiences and getting the most out of each and every one, and then move on to the next one. If you bog yourself down in one experience, in the emotions that the one experience brought you, then you will be stuck and either won't be ready to get anything out of the next one, or won't even get a next one. I think <i>that</i> is when people get depressed, because they get stuck in a single emotion and don't keep themselves open to new experiences.
Maybe it is a weird meaning to life, because it makes our lives no more meaningful than just living for the moment, but honestly, we'll all be decaying in the ground a hundred years from now anyway, so why live for more?
