Does the Nest dream?

My latest conversation with Elzbieta has completed a circle of loosely related thoughts sewing them together to make the Oroboros of questions: "when you dream, should you be aware of your morals/actions?"
This question draws out the other questions in its asking.
Questions like:
"can you be aware at the same level as you are when awake?"
"When you are awake, to what level is the dream state aware?"
"With awakening, while awake, you grow and mature... When asleep, and dreaming, do you grow and mature in a related portion, or are there other maturity levels entirely?"
"why should we be awake when dreaming?"
"Why should we have morals when we are asleep? No one is hurt... Are they??

This question of dreaming morality is quickly flowering, from its inception at 11:30 8/5/11 am..
It has sprouted questions of interspecies connections, through dreaming...
The question of dreaming of others, like married couples do...
The idea that one can "cheat" while dreaming... is it healthier to dream in the bliss of "non Morality" or is it better for us to be awake/aware and conscious/conscience while dreaming?
If one can train them selves to be aware that they are dreaming, while they are asleep... then once they do this, they can fly, change shapes, be any where, any time... and anyone...
If one is dreaming while awake, is this the same?
If one can dream something that involves someone else, like a sister, or a wife, or a husband, and they find out later that their dream was not just random, but that it was a real connection to reality... (there have been numerous people who have dreamed specific dreams that turned out that they could not have been aware of certain details, that they could not have physically have seen, or known... such as the friend of a pilot that was shot down in "Desert Storm" who dreamed that his friend was tied up at the wrist, and in a cell with a specific blanket...) Does this mean that our awakened awake state could be more like a dream?
This is my current opinion:
That when my young daughter leaned into my ear last week, (and whispered for no apparent reason) "You should always know what you are dreaming!" and she looked me in the eyes for emphasis!
I think she has always been very connected to me mentally, and spiritually, and that she has many empathetic talents.
There have been many moments where I am asleep, and she is sleeping next to me, and my Wife... We both have commented, that when we dream things that she would not approve, or understand, we have noticed that she twitches, kicks and at times even comments on our specific dreams?! What is happening?
We have reached a place as Humans, where we are coming to this question.
It is a question that could save us, and set us free.
When we dream, should we have morals?
What are Morals? Morals, are a part of the human persona, as well, there are many kinds of morality that are separate to the human question. The morality of animals that don't build nest, but occupy others nests... The morality of animals that are parasitic, or parasited... The morality and the morale...
The real interesting part of this question's potency is when you start to mix it with the "Egregoria."
The spirit of the tribe/city/village could be dreaming, networked... Are you dreaming someone else's dream? To quote Edgar Alan Poe "Could it be, that someone is looking into my mind? Some other place? Some where, some other time?"
This leads us to moments where you notice that there are several other people around you that have had similar nights, or dreams, or lack of sleep.
Have you ever gone to work, and not been able to sleep the evening before? Then noticed several people mentioned this over the course of the day?
I have noticed this several times, Many people's moods seem to be connected. Even events in our lives, other than shared weather, and natural events seem to be secretly woven together.

We see the good, where a cogniscenti at the playa unfolds, adjacent to the Arcosanti seed. And we see the bad, In Seoul.. Where the cameras of a captive audience rome (Rome) about in their cells...
As "we" all know, every sentient is judged by their fruit... and tho they be self aware, they may still have no conscience... So, be savvy is crucial to those that have the need to be out of the norm.. hence the Sentient City Survival guide: Link

Living City, The solution must be in balance with Change.

Highlighting work like Richard Harding's is what this blog is all about. Creating urban solutions that are considerate of all living scales, is what I personally see as the solution to the question: "what will we become?"

Found Thoughts on Cancer

Today, I was digging through my pile of 3x5 sketch cards (Dr. A. Swisher @ UNCC pointed me in the direction of using small white pages to compose small single finished pieces of thought) and I found this gem:

After watching youtube videos about Vortex migrations at various frequencies, and another about Bifurcations... I had a thought: One possible source of cancer: Vibrations constant unusual (not natural?) amplitude, or, frequency, or Amplitude + Frequency combination can disturb the "natural" distribution of cellular building material.
In other Words:
Cell Health= h
Amplitude = a
frequency = f
normal cell distribution rate (amp+frequ=healthy)=N
So, I tried to develop some formulas for these different rates and distribution reactions. But it was a complete mess... However, after reading more about this, in "Spiral Symmetry" by Hargittai and Pickover I see that with experiments I could find formulas..
But, the point is: if this is true of Animal Cells and Plants (ever seen Burls in a Tree? that is Cancer)... Then this must be true for Urban Design too!
Too much frequent material shifted one zone? Cancer.
The cure for cancer is the cultivation of balance space!

Naked Tech:

One must try to determine the best balance to strike that benefits the whole network.. In the world, we will have to deal with infant societies, ghastly out of scale, boisterous and piercingly chaffing the fabric of our culture of referenced cadence. If we at one point reach a density pattern that allows society to stabilize at 12 billion, within that will be packets of society that refuse to live in the fabric, and thus fall into megastructural pockets. The rare, but refined Arcology that in their very imbalance is in balance! This is Naked Tech's mantra, and to make it happen one must seek to make predominant the naked tech, in the vastness's between arcological nodes.
The grid is a field.

I pledge allegiance to my soul, that I will water it each day with knowledge and the quest for truth. I also swear to protect all, as if they are myself, even those threatening to harm (from them selves). I acknowledge that no flag, or book can contain the complexities of the worlds, with their infinite spectrum of being in totality. Even Gods. Therefor, let all flags be aware: You don't need me. Your fabric I stitched.

Motives of Change

I read a lot about members of Congress reading warnings, and getting insider memos alerting them to a dire financial crisis... "William White predicted the approaching financial crisis years before 2007's subprime meltdown. But central bankers preferred to listen to his great rival Alan Greenspan instead, with devastating consequences for the global economy." and I have to start wondering... Maybe these who knew, were actually anticipating, and triangulating for this crisis.. Perhaps the thought crossed their mind "let us use this crisis to launch the changes that have been resisted by the masses, such as more monopolized and privatized systems of public resources.."

They had ample warnings, they had brains (have?), they had resources, and one should also therefore wonder, did they have Motive? What were they?

This to me, always comes back into focus, when I place it into the human nest scale... I first think "is the nest healthy?"

Already knowing that the nest's are grossly out of scale, and cancerous, I then jump to the conclusion that this is merely more symptomatic of a system that is reaching for its last glowing resource, and its original resource, the human soul.

It is up to us to tame and to manage our garden.. To also allow it to flourish in a way that is healthy in the long term, in all it variety and depth.

Floating Circi

we are going to start a travelling Walenski Circus
one tent: See Dangerous Dave fly on a wire
another: see jumping julia juggles jucifer the cat, jill, jimmy, and lexy the mice while standing on a balanceing cube.
another will be managed by the trapezing trojer, who will leap with sircio and yoannica on a trojan torus
the welding shop will have a collection of stainless steel tubing that is collected from ship wrecks we raid on the way.
oh, by the way, we have a tent that floats around as a kite, above our travel ship, a mobulus amalgum of anarchistic derellict ships from a shipwrecked king mob empire. they made their statute, now we ours.
our main tent?
of course, the four ring circuitous! The TetraGammatitron, the self assembling Halidome, made of interwoven lighter than air low pressures invisioned by Bucky.
Forget how we did it? without grants, money or farms!
we were imbeciles, but genious.
we grew it!

Grant Morrison

I love Grant Morrison.
I was struck by his layer of a city under the visible city... This is a true/unreal thing... A dream world if you will that one can see or not see.
Barbelith... So, I also like the interview of the author Jeff Vandermeer for just this element as well. In G.M's Invisibles he has this element. Also calls to mind the Bible's statement (gosh, where was it at..) that each city is governed by an arch angel, a spirit, that was referred to as a principality... Really, seriously: the city is a live real thing, as in, it lives and breathes. We are its red blood cells.
I have seen the face of this creature personally, glimpses of it.
Very similar to the face of the city in Brazil, "stay.... Don't go, stay..." It wants us to carry its concrete, steel and glass.. To spread it out.
