it seems like an etching, or wood cut, in the style of dore (whom it may be), depicting a man with one and a half arms; one arm severed, but smooth/healed, seeming, about the elbow, the other holding a torch at, roughly, 45 degree tilt (so that the fuel of the torch's fire would spill from it, though i saw none). to his left (or so it seemed in the program i was watching, that featured it - "history's mysteries: cults" - they may have flipped the picture) appears to be a man, kneeling, looking not unlike a durer christ. it may be meant to convey sparks falling from the torch entering the man (it was used in a segment on gnosticism). it may be merely a small part of a larger picture. any clues? a link, to verify it's the same work, would be useful. further: why is the standing man (perhaps crowned with leaves?) maimed? i've studied something of gnosticism, but don't recognise this symbol. it has a blakean feel, about it, but the art is not as "simple". who are these figures?

Well? Do you think hope is something that you need to stay positive and obtain your goals, or is hope detrimental, and just gives you false ideas when you'll never really be able to amount to anything or make any of your dreams come true? See, my hope is to become a reporter and work with the BBC in the UK, but in REALITY, I will probably end up being something crappy in some crappy town in crappy America.

DISCUSS the theory.

I dreamt that my cousin and her girlfriend (elizabeth) had broken up and now she was engaged to a new guy. Elizabeth asked me to let her borrow money for her wedding and so that I could meet her fiance. When they arrived at my house I saw that her fiance was Ernie (in real life he is a guy that I have a huge crush on). I was totally shocked but I couldn't do anything about it. Ernie didn't talk to me. I asked Elizabeth if she knew about Ernie and me but she said that he didn't have feelings for me. I couldn't do anything so I gave her money for her wedding. Then Ernie and Elizabeth ran off and eloped.

What could this dream mean?

In real life they do not know each other. Ernie and I have a "friends with benfits" relationship.

Sometimes I will get a flash of a feeling or desire in moment of a sigh, often after some related event. Are these true feelings, more honest than the things we tell ourselves we want when we are consiously thinking about them. Or are they just momentary impulses.

I have vivid lucid dreams very often and have full control of my dreams and can do anything I could possibly imagine. I mostly like to fly about, visit ancient cities or even make love my 'dream girl'.
Whats the best things that you have done, or would like most to do/experience in a lucid dream?
