Suggestion for CathInfo

I have never had a CathInfo dream.  I can actually vividly see what you are talking about, Lybus.  Here though you aren't able to directly reply to someone; you just reply in the thread, as you know, and you have to type out who you're really responding to.  

If it was really my name that was appearing in the dream it was probably God telling you to read my posts more carefully...  :wink:  

Maybe we should open a dream thread, but I have a recurring dream that I hate where I have to go back to grade school as an adult, and when I do I always fail.  I start skipping classes and am held back.  It is obvious where this one comes from -- I am 33 and have never had a job, having tried for over a decade to become a writer.  Having thought I was precocious and ahead of the game, destined for success, only to learn that I am really far behind almost everyone due to my immense stupidity and pride, is a shock to the system.  So in reality I am like an overgrown child.  'Tis humiliating, but humiliation is good for the soul.  I take consolation from the life of St. Ignatius of Loyola who went to college to learn Latin at around forty years of age.

Recurring features of my dreams are desolate beaches that threaten with tidal waves, ominous underground parking garages, empty, giant shopping malls.  Basically exaggerated images of reality that play up their apocalyptic nature.  I think dreams are essentially the devil attacking your subconscious and he of course exaggerates what you fear.  I do not fear the apocalypse because of death, but I do fear modern society itself, which gives me a feeling of utter desolation, so I spend most of my waking hours waiting for it to crumble, which is probably not healthy.

My dreams are ridiculously abstract, chaotic, and disorganized. That might partly be because I'm a teenager, and partly because I tend to have my head in the clouds a lot, and I naturally think abstractly, AKA philosophical stuff. I've heard, though, that your dreams can represent the problems that your mind is having in real life. Since you are a writer, Raoul, I can see that there would be a lot of symbolism, like the beaches, and oversized malls, that would incorporate your worries and problems.

As for me, since I'm really too young to have any real problems, my dreams most often represent things that I had experienced or learned in real life, and my mind incorporates it into a bizarre, always-changing story. There are two things that I remember that had to do with Cathinfo. The first is the one mentioned above, and the other has to do with Caminus. I think he said once that he had been a police-man. I met him in my dreams as a very tall man, at least 7 feet tall, with arms about the size of my waist. He was a carpenter and worked with iron and steel. I think he ended up being someone's uncle later in the dream, but I don't remember.
I may have had more relating to Cathinfo, but I can't be sure. My dreams always change. In that same dream, I was in a room where everyone referred to Obama's speeches as, "Sermons," like he was the Messiah or something. In other dreams I've been in the Oval Office, which had an Olympic sized pool in it. I've been in car garages way up in the snowy mountains. I've ran through grassy plains in Walmart. I've lived in my house as it was being torn down. I've had rotten, walking tree-trunks invading my lawn. I often dream that my teeth are falling out, wahtever that means.

Hah, we should have a dream thread.

Actually, if the site is dying, it is so spiritually and it has to do with the unopposed heresies being professed therein - especially in the one section where I am not allowed to post.  

A person who consistently presents actual authoritative papal docuмents, rather than the endless pseudo-intellectualism of some who rely almost exclusively on non-authoritative and increasingly contradictory musings and speculations of theologians, is prevented from doing so.

All because of this: I do not call someone a Catholic when they believe contrary to the Magisterium or follow a heretical religious superior, but that I rightly identify such a one as a heretic or a schismatic.
