Mine is about the myclonic jerk.
You ever have one of those dreams in which you are
falling from a wall or slipping from a ladder, only to
have a myclonic jerk of your legs partially awaken you?
The dreaming pedaling of the legs is translated into a
physical peddling of the legs by the myclonic jerk, and
it causes partial awakening. Many people have them.
That means there's a Dreamer persona, your character in
the dream. Above that, is the dreaming body which is
aware of an impending myclonic jerk *and* writes it
into the script of the dream.
Holistic self is aware of impending myclonic jerk.
Somehow, the Dreamer gets a dream-script in which the
(physical) myclonic jerk takes place. The (physical)
jerk of the legs "fits in" to the (representational)
ongoing dream, and had to have been "set up" some
moments previous to it.
That means another persona or more comprehensive self
than the dreamer is aware of impending events and
prepares the dreamer for it. Jeez, I just thought it
was my unconscious!
