Everything you come up with in a dream is an interpretation of what you learned in the waking world before.
We humans are made known to the Universe by three things:
Mind
Body
Works
We are modeled as all things are, as a fractal of the God Person.
That's Father, Son, Holy Spirit.
Mind is the Father -- the Law and the Intent.
Body is the Son -- the Incarnation and Sacrifice.
Works are the Holy Spirit -- Our Grace and Will in the world.
Angels only operate in mind and works. They have no body, and cannot die. Beings that cannot die have no fear of God, which is to say they can have no true respect for God.
Theirs is the realm of dreams, which is why they cannot reinvent their selves. They have no sense of mortality, and are unbound by the limitations of time. Without those limitations, one cannot create.
If you had access to infinite time and the access to knowledge that follows it, everything you make would be its perfect form, as you would have no reason to make anything lesser. Angels see the perfect way to make things, and as such are completely lost to the merits of "lesser" machinations, limited only by the authority assigned to them by the Father.
Beasts have only body and spirit, as their minds are incomplete and they cannot create, as proven by their inability to form questions.
Humans are a step above. We see things as beasts do but we have the almighty question.
We can sleep and let the Spirit fill us like Adam. But we can also question that Spirit and ponder upon it -- molding it into new and interesting forms that can only be discovered through the imperfect lens of perspective.
We have all aspects of the God Person, which is why some Angels have fallen. They refuse to believe that something lesser is greater in authority and purpose; that the cost for acquiring power is focus.
They are like multitools, able to do everything spiritual under the Lord, the Law. But their many functions weigh them down, and their purpose un-tempered on the Stage of Creation. God puts us to use like tools, and while a multitool's screwdriver head that has a notch in it for opening cans will unscrew a screw, it's obvious that the job would be better performed with the dedicated tool, a screwdriver, limitations included.
With those limitations we gain individuality and a clear purpose, but in a dreaming world absent of the body we would ultimately dissolve into obscurity. We must be individuals and unique, which necessarily includes our limited perspective.
Everything is different levels of the same dream.
I agree, but you need to understand how what you've said matches perfectly what I've phrased above. It is a fractal, and you can zoom in or out. Zooming in is introspective. Zooming out is retrospective.
You have the key, but are missing the lock, which is the opposite for most people, I'll give you that.
Everyone is hung op on the zooming in and zooming out, the small and big pictures, that they have forgotten to take time and appreciate the here and now and that picture of ourselves that God set before us and adores far more than we are willing to linger on.
Ponder these things. I by no means have the full picture nor the small, and am most definitely not smart. Smart people are those who have acted on their knowledge. I have learned much and acted little, which makes me obsessive and a hypocrite.
You cannot learn in a dream.
