Less than 24 hours later, reading this morning I came upon this minor, but very important synchronicity:
I had read about the use of Puns in dreams in other books, but disregarded its importance.
I am glad I shared this dream last winter, now I think I may know the meaning of what the teacher was writing on the chalk board:
"I wish I was at that level where I could become lucid and ask them, but still in the infancy stages of lucidity.
Really interesting you bring up shadow figures, its possible. I think you are on to something though, becuase when I hit the ground floor, I walked into a classroom with a beautiful young short black woman as the teacher. I wonder if she was an Anima figure, and or Shadow figure trying to teach me something as well. She wrote the word “Gravis” on the chalk board, then in another section wrote “Invidius”. I knew the the first translation was the adjective “heavy, or grave”, and in the dream thought I knew the definition of the second, but when I looked it up, the correct translation is “jealousy”. Put the two together “heavy jealousy”, definitely a shadow element that I need to still do work on.
Appreciate your thoughts, thank you."
“Heavy Jealousy”?
Or was the dream being punny, and saying:
" 'Grave’Jealousy"
Based on the context I can totally see that latter interpretation being more fitting. Not jealous of physical death, but jealous of Ego death, and the ability to experience Rigpa in Sleep Yoga, or ‘ground level’ consciousness, which may also be the foundation of the Akashic records?
