How can we become totally present by living through our dreams and fantasies?
Synthesized from Source
practice
"Embrace your dreams and fantasies without rejection, for in their unconditional acceptance, they dissolve, revealing the simplicity of pure awareness."
According to Osho, you don’t become present by acting out or suppressing dreams; you become present by accepting them utterly. The dreaming mind feeds on rejection. Welcome desires, fantasies, and all that arises as natural, without analysis or division. In unconditional acceptance, dreams lose fuel and dissolve, leaving simple, choiceless awareness—equally at the market, the hills, or in mantra and dance.
Stop fighting your thoughts and desires; gently say yes inside, and they fade so you wake up to the present moment.
Why this matters practically
- Practice nonjudgmental acceptance of thoughts and desires instead of repressing or indulging.
- Drop labels like natural/unnatural; see one continuous nature in every situation.
- Use daily life—noise, work, or chanting—as chances to rest in present awareness.
