The Penguin could be a metaphor for the penguin-people. Those stuffed shirts who dress like penguins, and are intent on making the common philosopher angstful with their mindless self-ism.

As for what dreams are, I think got an answer to myself: Althought I am a "bad dreamer" sometimes I managed to enter a state of mind where I was not completly asleep nor completly awake, kind of experiencing a greater level of immersion than normal imagination gives in an idea, but not as deep and inconscient as a true dream. This state seemed to come out of an standart imagined idea, so my teory is this: We are dreaming all the time, but then we are awake our conscience has an very strong grip on the situation, so there is little space for randow thought chitchatter. For example sometimes musics start playing in my head winhout I telling then to, activated by certain thoughts. Then we are asleep our conscience is very faint and gives out only a few thoughts, wich are reflexed in all sorts of ways in our dreams.

Analogy: Imagine a box inside wich there is no air nor gravit, aka: what is inside bounces at will. Lets say that one person had the ability to totally control the movement of some balls inside it. Then it was controlling most, with only a few bouncing at randow, it would be awake, while then it was controlling only a little, with most boucing at randow, it would be asleep.

Well....... Homosexuals are mindless....

... then I am alone and trying to sleep I am suddently struck by an anoying fear of that something scary or weird will aparear and attack me or force me to get out of the bed to do something about it, and even thought I know thats an ridiculous fear I dont manage to get rid of it...

... Anyone feels something similar?

-I think you are simply describing the state of hypnosis, in this case self-induced hypnosis or auto-hypnosis. We all pass through this stage when we fall asleep so it is really not an extraordinary state of mind. Subjectively it may feel special, but it is a very frequent and common phenomenon, easily induced by some herbal infusion or relaxing music. I'm not a specialist in these matters but I remember the old movies: look at my watch... you are asleep... yes.... deep.... deep.....asleep... It seems that our mind needs to concentrate on something in order to enter the state of being hypnotised. And this could very well be a thought as well as a penny or a spot on the wall. This state of mind is also corresponding to a certain neurological state of our brain if I remember well, with certain types of brainwaves dominating (alpha?). Between hypnosis and being awake there are several stages of being relaxed, and there may be also a few stages between hypnosis and deep sleep. I can only repeat there's nothing special happening here. Our physical brains being naturally involved as well as our mind.

Well.
There are plenty of mindless people: Those whose Ego are ruled by the Id and have no viable super-ego to regulate them:

Pedophiles are mindless. Many suicides and mass-murderers are mindless. Bestiality is mindless. Homosexuals are mindless. People who are wealthy and yet compulsively steal are mindless.

Do you dress like a penguin Catchabula?
The comment was not directed at you.
Don't worry you are quite mindful as your anagrams show.

I was merely offering a possible explanation for the dream which shows a frustration at penguinism. What else could the penguin be explained as representing? Other than a 'stuffed shirt'?

I like the way your idea works. Meditation and 'waking dreams' fit your explanation quite well.

The distinction between conscious and subconscious is Freuds most important discovery, and I would suggest it is the greatest discovery of all time, as it explains self-destructive 'mindless' behaviour. Of course I do not mean by 'mindless', that there are literally zombis walking around without brains or souls. But that they are people who are so overwelmed by the subconscious in the form of Id, that they are similar to zombis.

(sorry about bad spelling in poem above)

Yea, I had quite an issue with this when I was younger; ending round about age 19 or 20. I distinctly remember the feeling of raw fear and my conscious mind being completely unable to "convince" the emotional. It was very unnerving.

Looking back, I think the only thing that helped me overcome such 'episodes' was time.

Good luck!

I have only one mind thought. If something is happening on it, it doesnt matters if it is frequent and common, its still of utmost importance .

Well, mine was a joke. I remembered I hadn't laughed for too long, so I kept it silly for a moment. The motto's here:
-Don't let the smiley smile for you
-The clever can think, the wise can laugh.
Mano, why don't we have a joke section around here? There are good jokes around, and very philosophical for that matter. The simplest of all good advice: have fun (now and then). Seeya .
