Jeeez, just tell yourself “I like myself” ten times with feeling every morning, and all your problems will slowly start solving themselves. Really.
Anyway, I had an incredibly vivid ND a few nights ago, and it included (among plenty of other things) some illustrated peotry (kind of like a narrative Powerpoint presentation right before my eyes) which was INCREDIBLY beautiful, so insightful and packed with wisdom I started crying. I don’t know if the words would make much sense if I remembered them, and if the drawings would be as esthetically perfect, but in the dream it all made… MORE than 100% sense, all the pieces of the puzzle, the entire mystery of human life was revealed to me in the most wonderful way possible… phew!
So add poetry to your list, I think meditating would also give kind of the same experience from what I’ve heard…
BTW: Burning the constitution in front of Bush’s eyes would indeed be funny in a dream, but in RL he would just stare and say “What the heck was that piece of paper?”
