Short story: John's heighty dream

Tweet

John was dreaming that he was in a college lecture theatre, which was crowded, when he entered the room, and so he moved past the door into the centre, where it was less crowded to take a seat there. He found a seat. The chairs and tables were very high, about ten feet off from the floor, and the students had to climb up into them to sit on them. There was no place to put your bags under the seat, and so you could not get into your bags easily, if you wanted to do so, and the desk was very small, hard to put more than one small notepad onto it. The height of the chairs and table made it a bit scary, as you might easily fall from the chair, and injure yourself, if you fell asleep there, from the boredom of the lecture. If the students left their bags down on the floor, there was a security risk; somebody might tealeaf them away, with the students up high on the seat, not noticing, as it was not between their legs, or under their seat a bit, as it would have been on normal heighted seats. John was a bit annoyed, and thought of just leaving, but then he decided to stick around to hear the lecturer out, but without taking notes, which was a bit hard to do, under these conditions. This dream simply shows John that to learn anything truly, he must lift himself above his mind, and learn from his heart, by elevating his heart above his mind, and not worry too much about worldly concerns, regarding the learning. We all must raise ourselves above the mundane, and live at a higher level of consciousness. We all ride the swing of life, but if it is to swing freely, it must not be hindered by worldly thoughts alone. It was interesting here that all of the students had to raise themselves to a higher level, to achieve the required learning here, not just John. This shows John, that he does not see himself as above others, but on an equal pegging with them, although they must all lift themselves up in life, to achieve anything worthwhile, as must John too.
