When I woke up, I refused to buy into the worst case scenarios the dream manipulators tried their best to instill in me, set a positive intention that the interview would go flawlessly, without any hitches and it all went exceedingly well. I share this with readers because I believe we can counter the attacks by maintaining a positive attitude, turning the tables on the attackers in a pro-active way. On another level, the intent of the attackers is more than just to cause panic and disorientation in targeted individuals.

The deeper intention behind dream manipulation is to cut us entirely off from the healing wellsprings of the archetypes within our psyches - realms that we should have full access to so we can maintain psychological equilibrium, achieve integration and individuation. This conclusion kind of dawned on me unexpectedly while I was re-reading many of the manipulated dreams that I recorded in my journals and comparing them to more visionary dreams that I used to have (prior to going public with my conspiracy articles).

Transformative dreams always had archetypal elements within them such as a Utopian paradise, crystal clear lakes, streams, and ponds, wondrous animals and benign looking beings who radiated compassion. In the manipulated dreams, none of these elements appear and the dreams feel shallow, i.e. they do not resonate archetypically.

When we are cut off from archetypal sources, our own ability to rejuvenate and heal is seriously curtailed. Our own ability to understand the behavior of others (originating from some archetypal source) is also diminished. In turn, our abilities to cultivate self-reliance, emotionally, spiritually and intellectually are also greatly diminished. What this severance from "Source " creates is a substitute dependence on something else since we naturally look to other sources for orientation, definition and acceptance. Some would say that "The State" is what we turn to when we are cut off from our healing source - much like a child who is born into a profoundly dysfunctional family where nurture is absent -inevitably the child searches elsewhere for answers, for acceptance - either by joining a cult, enlisting in the army or joining some other group that demands conformity.

The "customs agents" dreams that I described in Part I, certainly could be considered as attempts to get me to accept a "State Authority"…A police state, to be more exact!

Apparently, I should be constantly worried that I'll be asked for my papers and shuffled off to a detention center if I don't provide them. I highly recommend reading the excellent book, 'The Third Reich of Dreams' by Charlotte Beradt. The author compiled the dreams of German citizens prior to and during the rise of Hitler to complete his dictatorship. Many of the dreams seemed to foreshadow (and/or forewarn of) the coming fascism. One dreamer said he dreamed that he lived in a glass house in which anybody outside could look in - indicating that he no longer had any privacy whatsoever.
