Dreams and life

It's strange. My dad died 8 months ago of a sudden heart attack and had all these dreams of him, my brothers when we were kids, my mom, and my step-dad but it was like my two dads weren't there though I could see them in my dream but there was no emotional connection.
Then I get on Tinder just recently and had a extremely sexual dream of a woman that I was attracted to awhile back. I am not sure I want to be on it anymore.
I do love lucid dreaming though. Many of the posts I have read people are able to it consitently but for me in just happens once in awhile and I just explore, aware, and have fun. I have had one nightmare in the last something like 7 years. I just don't fear life like I used to I guess.
It's all connected I am learning. You spend a 1/3 of your life in sleep mode but the choices you make deeply effect it of course. It's just weird trying to decide who you want to be through life and getting reflections of it and subconscious emotions you weren't aware of.

Yeah. Ever since I quit smoking the dreaming is intense. I honestly try not to think about it so much because it leads to heavy spiritual concepts and subconscious concepts. I get the lucid dreaming on and off to and I never ask for it or try for it. I honestly kinda miss the nights of no dreams while smoking pot. But idk if it was healthy for my soul to rob myself of those dreams.

I get it to an extent. When I don't remember my dreams when waking I feel like I missed something fun and entertaining. Or meaningful and with some wisdom.
I sometimes look forward to sleep and dreams as entertainment while I feel myself at times starting to enter that subconscious zone and the mystery and weirdness of it.
Someone once said, or maybe it was a lyric, about have you noticed that dreams have no beginning and no end to it? When you are in it. It's not like a movie. Someone told me that God, which is just another term for life, has entertainment all his own. Nothing religious.
I kind of think that is what it is like when you die to start off with. Reading about DMT that is in the brain flooding your body as you transition when your time is up. I think existence is wonderful and exploring it. Sometime I just wake up and feel happy and that everything is going according to plan on a higher level and in my personal life, to a degree.

The metaphorical content is what gets me. For instance I recently made this statement:
"I consider myself an unassigned supportive custodian, without privacy, within a facility wherein children play.
Yes, the children wearing ugly masks will come in and wreck the place, attack me and steal my things, and the fight remains with my own ego; How am I going to resolve this conflict if I'm supposed to treat them the way I want to be treated?
Do I sacrifice their right to play? Do I instigate procedures barring them from my vicinity? Nope, the Gods themselves are children at play.
That's the baseline and our defense."-
Then last might I dreamed that my car was stolen while I was burying trash high on a hillside. At first glance the stolen car is the obvious result of such a shortsighted worldview, but at second glance if you want to bury garbage then just tempt them to steal your ride.

We all have our life experiences but can't relate to that one. I dreamt of my brother with a past girlfriend of mine standing outside a door to the bathroom where they were taking a bath together. And feeling the pain as he did cheat on me once and I could of with one of his but stayed loyal. A betrayal.
As I get into dating women again and tinder all this shit comes up and I feel like I was happier before getting back into sexual relationships with women again instead of masturbation. Jung and Sigmond, are you there?

I tried tinder for like 3 days. Then I deleted it because I found my cousin on there and it officially became too weird for me.

Barnaby, there are audio books on YouTube by Carl Jung called "Man and His Symbols". If you really want to explore the subject further, and find out how deep all the dreams and symbols are, go listen to those. Really incredible stuff. And you are correct in saying that it's all connected!
My condolences about your Father, Much love

Barnaby my dad passed unexpectedly of a heart attack as well, but it was about two and a half years ago. Much bro, really. I dunno how old you are, but I was only 23 when it happened. Sure, 23 is old - but for all the life experience I had already, I was still a child in many ways so it felt like I may as well have been 16.
Now I have always been a lucid dreamer, long before I ever took any sort of substance - and after having practiced the art for a long time, I have gotten quite good at it. Now, I had never had anyone who had passed away "visit" me in a dream until my dad did. There's a short time period, depending on the persons connection with you - and there soul level, but there's a time period where after someone's passed that they can visit you in a dream completely, 100%. It's them connecting with you within the collective unconscious when you are unconscious during deep dream states. Now there are also dreams where there image, as in the representation of them in your mind, can occur in a dream - but that is completely, 100%, different then the first one within the collective unconscious. Lucid dreamers are also able to reach deeper into the collective unconscious, allowing them to spend more time with people who have passed and have a longer time period chance to connect after they passed.
I still remember the first time after he passed away that he visited me in a dream. I can remember it perfectly still. I was walking around in this strange, South American slum when I ran into him and he said "Quickly, you must come with me - we haven't much time" and I replied "Ok, lead the way." So he starts taking me through doors, and passageways through houses - and then starts saying things like "So now you need to go through this wall," yet I would reply along the lines of "I cant go through that, its a wall" as if I were awake.
He would tell me we needed to fool my brain and go to a place where it can't find us, so we can be alone and talk about what's happened and where my Dad had gone after he passed.
So we'd go through walls, we'd go down stairs that would lead to upstairs bedrooms. He would literally open up portals in walls that would take us to the other side. Finally, we came to a small room upstairs in one of the houses in the slums and he sat me down on the bed. At this point I became totally lucid; and we talked. We talked about that he had died, that he loved me, that he was still here in the form of love; I said I didn't want him to go, but he said it's ok - it's all ok. Life and death are one, and that he was just happy to know we could say goodbye.
And then the most incredible thing happened... I started crying and went in to hug him, and I felt him - the warmth, the love, the physical body - I felt that I was truly hugging him and got to say goodbye as he had his peace because we never got to say goodbye when he was alive. I woke up, my entire face covered in tears. I sat up straight in bed, realized what had just happened - went to the bathroom, and cried tears of happiness and sadness and love for almost 15 minutes. It was incredible.
You should look into Dream Yoga by Mattheu Ricard - it's the practice of mental yoga during dreams and lucid dreams to allow you to lucid dream deeper, longer - and hold onto dreamstates when you start to "wake up" to maintain the lucid dream states instead of waking up. It's allowed me to lucid dream so incredibly deeply - I've reached complete god-like stages and awoken in full spiritual-ecstacy (not nocular emissions). It's absolutely spectacular, like for 10 minutes after waking up from one of these dream yoga dream-states I actually feel like I'm rolling on a few points of the best MDMA ever.. no joke. Like Madonna in Ecstacy from the bible level stuff... so I agree that these lucid dreamstates are bordering on true religious experiences - or at least tickling the physical part of our brain that activates during religious experiences.

Last night I dreamed of storing a corpse in a chest freezer and of a team of investigators coming around to look for it. I helped them unload the freezer and to my surprise the body wasn't in it.

In a circuitous route two unpopular girls and two unpopular guys drive to a location close to a campus. The girls hook up with a guru and we leave them tending the establishment. I want to drive back the circuitous route but the other guy wants to go straight to the heart of the matter.

A convoluted dream last night: I offered to put air in the tire of an elderly person who had parked almost out of reach of the air pump and I couldn't find the recommended pressure on the extremely weathered tire. Then another car pulls up and the driver offers to pay me to entertain the elderly person, take her out to a restaurant and make sure she gets home, and I'm kinda like "I don't know, Dude", and the scene cuts to a lab where the Dude is some kind of specialist and he's demonstrating how an extremely sharp instrument can trim another one in about an inch of water and I don't have the inch of water so he raggedly trims the instrument I'm holding without the water.
So I examine this extremely sharp but raggedly trimmed instrument and manage to almost clean the ragged edge with an artist's paintbrush.
I deduced somewhat this morning that the dream was about the 'pen being sharper that the sword' and that the paintbush is almost as equal to the pen in cutting ability.
