That may be true but to your point, it doesn't mean that hard things, in and of themselves, are a pathway to greatness. As you suggest, if there is an easier way to the top of the mountain, is there a valid reason not to take it? As you might imagine, your references to apocalyptic visions, revelation and, in particular the ouroboros, caught our attention. According to Wikipedia, Carl Jung associated the ouroboros with cryptomnesia. Is it possible that the revelations in our dreams, and indeed in all aspects of spirituality, are actually only the rediscovered memories of forgotten knowledge? Is revelation actually "remembering" in the guise of inspired genius? As in the Roderick MacLeish book, Prince Ombra, is it as if the cavern angel commands us to forget all that we know of hell and heaven in the final moments before our birth? Sometimes the meanings of lucid dreams reveal themselves over days and weeks. Please keep us all posted if new thoughts about your dream emerge moving forward.
