*This is the prologue to the Dream and Sensuality series.
Through the dream analysis of yesterday's dream,
a journey to encounter the depths of the heart begins.

1. A Satisfied Morning

Early morning, before the sun had risen.
While my boyfriend was massaging my body,
I fell asleep right there, and before I knew it,
we were both fast asleep for a second nap.

After that quiet, fulfilling time, what I saw was
a strange dream.
In it, only one thing
—a computer screenwas displayed.

2. A Dream of Only a Computer Screen

What was displayed was
a blog post.

The title was written in English like this
: Mind Forest No.88
Mind Forest / No.88—perhaps it's a play on the “8” in honey.
I feel like there were products or shop names like that...

I was staring blankly at that screen.
The content of the text wasa story about honeyThe author of the blog seemed to be a woman,
and she was
quietly and deeply writing about her thoughts on the honey she had collected and aged over many years.

What was particularly impressive was this sentence.

At first, I thought the 46 kilograms referred to body weight,
and the thought “A diet blog?”
crossed my mind for a split second,
but I immediately knew that wasn't it.

This is—
the words of someone who has cultivated honey
as if it were a living thing.

By saying 46 kilograms, I thought she meant
the honey she had collected and carefully aged
over 22 years.
Honey can actually be aged.

Moreover, by doing so, the quantity decreases,
the flavor intensifies, and its medicinal properties increase.

3. This person is someone like me...

At the bottom of the screen,
there was a line accompanied by 🌲🐝 emojis,
almost like a signature,and it left a strange lingering impression.
In the dream, I thought, “This person is trustworthy.”
It wasn't because of decoration or logic,

but because the writing was filled with soul,
and the presence of quiet passion was seeping through.

And then, when I looked back at the blog title,
I realized something.
I thought she seemed like someone who lives in the forest of the unconscious.
“This person... is connected to me.”
It was as if I had met a version of myself from sometime.

Whether that was my future self,
or my true self that I had kept buried deep in my heart,

I didn't know yet right after I woke up from the dream.

4. The Crown Chakra I Felt Upon Waking

When I woke up, I was
a little surprised that it hadn't been a lucid dream.
Even though it was a dream where I was clearly and distinctly looking at a PC screen and having a dialogue with myself.

But at the same time,
my physical sensations were very clear, and my fatigue had vanished.
However, just one thing—
the top of my head felt itchy,a strange sensation remained.

The crown chakra is
the seventh chakra located at the top of the head.

It is said to be the place that connects to universal consciousness and the realm of the soul,
and during moments of deep realization or awakening,
it can feel itchy or have sensations of movement.
It was as if


my inner antenna had perfectly opened up.

The boyfriend sleeping next to me,
perhaps sensing that I had woken up,
smiled slightly with just his mouth while keeping his eyes closed.
That is the expression I call the Demon King smile.

That "grin" when you see through something.
A smile that seems somewhat mischievous,
yet incredibly charming.

Ah... I thought, he knows.
He must be able to tell,
that something has shifted inside me.

5. A Dream That Emerged from the Collective Unconscious

As I put this dream into words,
I felt things like "primordial security"
and a "sense of self I can trust"
gradually growing within me.

This is not just a dream.
It is a sign that arrived from the deep layers of myself—perhaps,
from the depths of the forest of my soul.

After going through the dream analysis, I finally understood.
This wasn't a lucid dream,
but a semi-lucid one.

If so, then let's begin.
The Dreams and Sensuality Series—
Starting with this "honey of dreams,"
I will begin to let it flow quietly.

6. The Symbolism of 8 and the Timing the Dream Signaled

The blog title that appeared in the dream
was written in English like this—
Mind Forest No.88

At the time, I just thought,
"Maybe it's a play on the 'eight' in honey?"
but nothing more than that.

While writing this note,
I suddenly became curious and looked it up.
The symbolic meaning of the number 8.
Then, these keywords emerged.
🍯 The Symbolism of the Number "8" and the Sign Embedded in the Dream

• Maturation and Release: Something stored over a long time reaches completion and flows outward.
• Cyclicality and Permanence: An endless cycle of energy. Inner power circulating without closing.
• Completion of Transformation: Signals the maturity of an internal process and the transition to the next stage.
• Convergence with the Future Self: 8 as a "junction" where you reunite with your essence across time.
Furthermore, the symbol that appears when you turn "8" on its side

—is ♾️ Infinity.
This symbol also represents

the growth of the self beyond time and space, and
the flow of the soul.
In other words, the appearance of the number "88"

in the dream
may have been a sign informing me that
my future self and past self
are standing at a junction where they intersect here.

💡 Thinking about it that way, I realize how
symbolic this dream was.

When I first saw it, 88 just seemed like
a numbering system.

But it was a numerical key chosen by the unconscious,
and it contained the message: Now is the time to offer it.
And above all—
the symbolism embedded in this "8"

had not yet been verbalized during the dream,

but I had already sensed it somewhere.
It feels as though my unconscious bodily sensations and intuition
were already knocking on the door of ♾️.

🌀 This dream, it really isn't just a dream.
Honey (= wisdom of the soul)
matured over 22 years.
The blog that delivers it,

and 88, which symbolizes the convergence with the future self.
When everything aligned perfectly,
I was convinced.
🍯♾️ This is a sign that the season of the soul is opening.

From here, the "Dreams and Sensuality" series
will begin to flow strongly and deeply.

🌌 What is the Collective Unconscious? The deepest part of the mind

It is a realm of the unconscious shared by everyone,
located even deeper than our consciousness
or our everyday unconscious.

It is a concept proposed by the psychologist Jung,
and it is believed that common images, symbols,
and myths held by all of humanity, beyond individual experience,
are born from here.
Simply put, it is like a "great ocean of the mind"
deep within each individual heart,
where all of humanity is connected.

🍯 The Symbolism of Honey—Wisdom and Healing Delivered by Dreams

The "honey" that appeared in the dream—
it may have been chosen by the unconscious
not just as food, but as an entity withdeep symbolic meaning
.

Honey has long been associated with
the following symbols:

• Natural Wisdom: The process of bees collecting from flowers and maturing it over a long time is like a crystallization of cosmic wisdom.

• Feminine/Maternal Power: Its sweet, soft, and healing nature is deeply connected to inner divinity and the power of nurturing.

• Soul Nutrition: In ancient times, it was considered the food of the gods and a symbol of nourishing the heart and soul.

• Alchemical Process: Taking time and effort to transform simple nectar—it overlaps with theprocess of unconscious wisdom crystallizing.

Also note that the honey in this dream
was "precious honey that took 22 years to make 46 kilograms."
It is as if it is a symbol that


the healing and wisdom that have grown within me over many years have finally reached the timing to be delivered to someone
.

Perhaps this dream was
a moment when my future self
gently called out
to my present self.

Perhaps a day will come for you, too, when your future self
sends you a letter
from deep within the forest of dreams—.

💤 What is the difference between a lucid dream and a semi-lucid dream?

This dream was likely not a "lucid dream."
However, I feel like I knew somewhere
that this was not just an ordinary dream—.
At such times, it
might have been a semi-lucid dream.

🌙 A lucid dream is one where you know
“this is a dream” while inside it,
and you can control the world yourself.

🌘 A semi-lucid dream is a state where real-world sensations and
judgments bleed into the dream.
If, like this time, you felt “I could trust this”
or “I felt this was connected to me,”
and your intuition or inner awakening was at work,
that might be a clear sign of a semi-lucid state.

Bonus at the end of the volume🐝 Mind Forest No.88

Hello. It has been 22 years
of living as if I were living with honey
in the forest.
46 kilograms of honey that I have collected, watched over, and aged.

Perhaps,
if you look only at the numbers, it might seem like some kind of record or
a strange collecting habit.
But to me, this was
—the very proof of my life.

It is said that honey
has the power to stop time.
But I have come to think that, in truth,
it is something that continues to change with time.

Lick a spoonful, and a summer from years ago comes back to life.
Open a jar,
and you can meet yourself from that time again.

That is why I want to
run through this journey to the very end.
Together with nature, together with the bees,
and together with the me from back then.
