Choosing a Different Me; The Reflection
Another Heroes related dream
It's fuzzy up to this point: I see Claire younger brother and wonder what it would be like to be him. Suddenly, I find myself looking through his eyes and seeing what he sees. More than that, I'm in control of his body. I suddenly realize that I can occupy any body I want and be any one that I want. Within the dream, I am reminded of a passage in the Tibetan Book of the Living and Dying about the large nature of consciousness.
I find myself in front of the bathroom mirror. I look in the mirror. The mirror in front of me has my reflection, but a mirror behind me - reflected in the mirror which is in front of me - has another reflection of me which is independent; grinning from ear to ear. I am startled. I spin around to face this reflection and find that there is no mirror behind me at all. Yet, the image is still there, standing in front of me, grinning like a Cheshire cat. I am terrified.
