Dreams of Convenience This episode is about how the Course is inconvenient since our goal is to stay asleep.  The Course awakens awareness of our great companion and we can see that we have a split mind.  That mind both welcomes and resists the Course. We try to incorporate it into the dream as a compromise approach.   A "dream of convenience" as Freud said, serves two purposes: 1. it satisfies a wish and 2. it safeguards sleep. The dream serves as "the guardian of sleep" and, in that sense, every dream is a dream of convenience.  Through forgiveness, we change the purpose of the dream and transcend the dream of convenience.
