It's a minefield, agreed. We're standing in the middle of it. There is no separation between our daily consciousness and our dreaming at night with respect to this, barring the arbitrary conventions we establish to comfort ourselves to the contrary. There is no safe place. No wishing it away or withdrawing from it. The only way is to navigate the minefield like a warrior....i.e. watch your step. Getting your ass kicked per energetic attachments and the consequences that brings? Been there. Answer: cultivate detachment. And watch and see the transformation bloom in dreaming....both at night and during the day. I've seen this very fact manifest via withdrawing from that greedy aforementioned presence. Detaching from my previous need for his verification in spite of all those signals pointing to his particular brand of very specialized predation. I cannot tell you the myriad dreams....clear, lucid, powerful dreams that heralded my breaking free. And that goes for the daily waking dream as well.
Again....the dreaming isn't the issue. It's the underlying intent. And that determines the nature of the minefield we have to navigate. And that is our unavoidable challenge. Our responsibility ultimately.
