Last night I had one of my more profound dreams. As dreams are won't to do, the details are already getting fuzzy but the general gist was I was dying and I experienced something akin to a near death experience within my dreamscape. I can't remember the details on what lead to my dream death but I can still recall distinctly the sensation of leaving my corporeal self behind and taking flight into the cosmos and space and eventually starting to merge with all of the space and stars around me.
Accompanying this was the sense of losing my identity I had in my previous life almost entirely and a feeling of concern as I had trouble remembering my wife and loved ones as I started to merge into the oneness of the cosmos as the individual me and others of my previous life all melded into the grand cosmic oneness. It wasn't a feeling of panic, just concern. I didn't quite achieve full ego death but I was close and it was a rather emotional experience at that and has stuck with me strongly throughout the day following.
As far as meanings go, I don't have a clue just yet but I have come to a speculation over the past few years that dreams might be the interface that separates (or connects) the human mind from/to the more infinite dimensions that may hide behind concrete consensus reality (call it spiritual if you want or hyperspace or the astral world... it's all just semantics in the end).
Feel free to comment, speculate, pontificate and or relate to the above my fellow travelers.
