🧐What “Eyes Wide Shut” is really about : r/StanleyKubrick

https://www.reddit.com/r/StanleyKubrick/comments/994q4h/what_eyes_wide_shut_is_really_about/

From out of the blue, I realized the title refers to "eyelid scrying"...seeing dream visions awake but your eyelids closed-"eyes wide shut"...that 1926 author was on about this, as Freud...see their friendship...the film, the movie, are about dreams...Kubric on about dreams in his other films too...as the producer of Inception and recently The Odyssey...yt probably has breakdown on this, dreams by these Hollywood producers...🍿

Oh, it's the blue story!...had dream that out of the blue talked of Blue Story...of late, I keep an N1 Hypnopompic journal...eyelid scrying-eyes wide shut...peculiar movie I haven't seen, tho feed drops clips...thing to see is the book, books by author, friend of Freud, from 1926...a Hollywood take on dreams-far fetched...🦛🍿

✨️movie eyes wide shut meaning of title eyelid scrying

The title Eyes Wide Shut is a paradox that symbolizes willful blindness—the human tendency to ignore or remain oblivious to uncomfortable truths, elite corruption, and hidden realities right in front of us. [1, 2]
Meaning of the Title
Deliberate Ignorance: Like the unblinking, unseeing eyes carved into the Venetian masks in the film, characters choose to keep their minds closed to reality while appearing wide awake.
Social Complicity: The title suggests that society—and the privileged elite—deliberately shut their eyes to moral corruption and exploitation to protect their comfort and status.
Dream State: Adapted from Arthur Schnitzler’s Dream Story (Traumnovelle), the phrase captures a trance-like, somnambulist journey where the protagonist, Bill Harford, wanders through a waking nightmare. [1, 2, 3]
Eyelid Scrying and the Occult Connection
What is Scrying? Scrying is an ancient divination practice where a seer gazes into a reflective or dark surface (like a crystal ball or black mirror) to quiet the conscious mind and perceive visions through the "inner eye".
Eyelid Scrying: This is a specialized, closed-eye form of scrying where a practitioner shuts their physical eyes and stares intently at the back of their own eyelids to induce a trance or pull symbolic images from the subconscious.
Thematic Link: Esoteric analysts connect "eyelid scrying" and occult visual motifs in Eyes Wide Shut to the film's pervasive themes of masking, illusion, and trances. Just as an eyelid scryer looks inward behind a physical barrier to "see" a hidden landscape, Bill navigates a secret world operating completely in plain sight, yet he remains fundamentally blind to its true mechanics until forced to confront the dark reflections of his own society and marriage. [1, 2, 3, 4]
Would you like to explore Stanley Kubrick's use of mirrors and color symbolism in Eyes Wide Shut, or do you want to dive deeper into the source novella Dream Story?

✨️about contrast symmetry, paradeila, that stelae in Peru

about contrast symmetry, paradeila, that stelae in Peru
The ancient Peruvian monument you are referring to is the Raimondi Stele (or Raimondi Stone), created by the Chavín culture around 900–200 BCE at the ceremonial site of Chavín de Huántar. [1, 2]
What you are describing as "contrast symmetry" and "pareidolia" is known in art history as contour rivalry. The Chavín artists intentionally designed the stela with strict bilateral symmetry and multi-layered imagery to confuse human perception, creating an artistic Optical illusion. [1, 2]
How the Visual Illusion Works

What You See (The "Pareidolia" Effect)
Symbolic Meaning

Right-Side Up
A fearsome Staff God looking upward with a severe frown. He wears a massive, towering headdress composed of coiled snakes and overlapping volutes.
Represents the supreme deity ruling earth and sky, holding two stalks of the hallucinogenic San Pedro cactus.

Upside Down
The image completely shifts. The deity’s face turns into a smiling, jawed reptile or caiman. His towering crown cascades down as a stacked row of smiling, fanged faces.
Represents a transformation into underworld or jungle

✨️movie eyes wide shut is deliberately complex to act as a barrier. Only initiated elites were taught how to properly decode the shapes hidden within the symmetry.

movie eyes wide shut is deliberately complex to act as a barrier. Only initiated elites were taught how to properly decode the shapes hidden within the symmetry.

There is no factual basis or historical evidence to support the claim that Eyes Wide Shut was created with secret codes intended only for "initiated elites."
While Stanley Kubrick’s 1999 film is famously complex, dense with symbolism, and heavily reliant on visual symmetry, film scholars and historians widely agree that these elements serve artistic and psychological purposes rather than a hidden occult agenda.
The Purpose of Symmetry and Symbolism in the Film
Instead of acting as a barrier for elite decoding, the film's complex design functions in several specific ways:
Psychological Mirroring: The heavy use of symmetry and repetitive geometric shapes (such as circles, triangles, and stars) reflects the dual nature of the main characters' marriage, desires, and anxieties.
Dream Logic: Kubrick used vibrant color palettes (contrasting warm Christmas lights with harsh blues) and precise framing to create a surreal, dream-like atmosphere, mimicking the protagonist's descent into a subconscious underworld.
Social Critique: The movie explicitly critiques the real-world decadence, corruption, and unaccountable power of the ultra-wealthy, making the "elite" the subjects of the film's scrutiny rather than its intended audience.
The idea that the film contains hidden geometric puzzles meant for an exclusive group is a popular internet conspiracy theory, often fueled by the mysterious nature of Kubrick's filmmaking style and his untimely death before the film's release.
If you are interested in how the film was actually constructed, I can provide more details. Would you like to explore:
The cinematography techniques Kubrick used to create the dream-like atmosphere?
The literary source material (Traumnovelle) and how it compares to the movie?
How production design and lighting were used to build the film's tension?

✨️difference between reading and sensing a poem see the world feelingly Lear

The Trap of "Reading" and Flawed Sight
At the start of the play, both Lear and Gloucester possess perfect physical eyesight and literacy, yet they are completely blind to reality. They "read" situations purely by their surface appearances:
Lear's Love Test: Lear reads his daughters' love based on their public, performative speeches. He relies on the superficial weight of words. Because Cordelia cannot "heave [her] heart into [her] mouth," he fails to sense her genuine devotion.
Gloucester's Letter: Gloucester is easily undone by a forged letter. He literally reads Edmund's fabricated words and immediately sentences his loyal son, Edgar, to death.
In this state, "reading" represents a reliance on external metrics—titles, flatteries, social contracts, and documents—which masks absolute ignorance of human nature.
2. "Sensing" and Seeing the World Feelingly
The shift from reading to sensing happens through profound suffering. It is crystallized in Act 4, Scene 6, when the physically blinded Gloucester encounters the mad Lear. When Lear asks Gloucester how he sees the world, Gloucester replies: "I see it feelingly."
Stripping of the Senses: Gloucester loses his physical eyes, and Lear loses his sanity. Only when their superficial faculties are stripped away do they begin to "sense" the truth.
The Wisdom of Madness and Blindness: Gloucester notes, "I stumbled when I saw," proving that physical sight was a distraction. Once blind, he can finally sense Edmund's treachery and Edgar's loyalty.
Empathy for the Vulnerable: In the storm, Lear stops "reading" his position as a king and begins to "sense" the suffering of others. He looks at the "poor naked wretches" of his kingdom and feels a shared humanity, realizing he has "ta'en too little care of this."
Summary
To read the world in King Lear is to be fooled by the script of society—words, appearances, and titles. To sense the world is to understand it through the agonizing but clarifying lens of emotional truth and shared human vulnerability.
If you are writing an essay or analyzing specific passages, would you like to focus on Lear's storm speech, Gloucester's blindness scene, or how Cordelia's silence fits into this dynamic?

🎶audiences feel, sense...why plays make sense...then, in class, breakdowns mess things up...

That is a beautiful sentiment, echoing the idea that rem sleep and dreaming act as a form of nocturnal therapy to process emotional stress and reset our minds.

During dreaming, your brain downregulates stress neurochemicals like noradrenaline. This allows you to re-process difficult emotional memories from the day in a safe, neurochemically calm environment, effectively taking the painful "sting" out of those experiences.

Are you looking for a scientific breakdown of how dreams process emotions, or are you seeking creative inspiration like poetry or a journal prompt based on this quote?

#Pillar

Game on...on the radio...Giants 1 at Dodgers 1...famous Hindu temple pillar...

✨️famous Hindu pillar

When people refer to a famous Hindu pillar, they are usually talking about one of these three world-renowned structural marvels:
1. The Hanging Pillar of Lepakshi
Located inside the 16th-century Veerabhadra Temple in Lepakshi, Andhra Pradesh, this is arguably the most famous pillar in India. [1]
The Marvel: Out of 70 stone pillars in the temple's hall, one massive granite pillar does not fully touch the floor. There is a tiny gap at its base, allowing visitors and devotees to pass thin objects like a sheet of paper or a piece of cloth completely underneath it. [1, 2, 3]
The History: Built during the Vijayanagara Empire, it stands as an incredible testament to ancient Indian engineering. Legend says a British engineer once tried to shift it to uncover its secrets, causing the surrounding structural beams to move, proving that the hanging pillar actually anchors the structural balance of the roof. [1, 2, 3]
2. The Heliodorus Pillar
Located in Vidisha, Madhya Pradesh, this monument dates back to around 113 BCE. [1]
The Marvel: This column is a Garuda-stambha (a pillar dedicated to the eagle mount of Lord Vishnu). It is exceptionally famous among historians because its Brahmi script inscriptions reveal it was built by Heliodorus, a Greek ambassador sent from Taxila. [1]
The Significance: It provides the earliest known archaeological evidence of a Westerner converting to Vaishnavism (ancient Hinduism), where Heliodorus explicitly dedicates the pillar to Vāsudeva (Lord Krishna) as the "God of Gods". [1, 2, 3]
3. The Musical Pillars of Hampi
Located at the 15th-century Vittala Temple in Hampi, Karnataka, this architectural masterpiece is protected as a UNESCO World Heritage site. [1]
The Marvel: The temple features 56 monolithic pillars known as "SaReGaMa pillars".
The Sound: When gently tapped, the solid stone columns emit distinct musical notes resonant of traditional Indian musical instruments like string instruments, temple bells, and drums. [1]

🎶this a follow on from previous post...curious, the British stole one post to see how it works...

✨️curious, the British stole one singing pillar from Hampi.to see how it works...

That is a famous historical story! During British rule in India, British officials were so deeply mystified by the musical pillars of the Vijaya Vittala Temple in Hampi that they actually cut two of the pillars in half to see how they worked.

They suspected the pillars were hollow or contained some hidden metallic or internal mechanism to produce musical notes when tapped. To their surprise, they found nothing but solid granite inside. Those sliced pillars can still be seen by visitors at the UNESCO World Heritage site today.

How the "Singing Pillars" Actually Work

Modern researchers using non-destructive testing—such as ultrasonic testing—have finally dispelled the old myths and explained the physics behind these 15th-century structures:

Flexural Vibration: The sound does not come from a hollow chamber. Instead, it is caused by the flexural vibration (a subtle side-to-side bending) of the stone columns when struck, acting exactly like a tuning fork.
Dimensions and Geometry: The musical note is determined by the speed of sound through granite and the column's physical dimensions. Shorter, thicker columns vibrate faster and produce high-pitched notes, while longer, thinner columns produce low-pitched tones.
Resonant Material: The ancient artisans of the Vijayanagara Empire specifically sourced single blocks of highly resonant granite with a specific mineral composition that allowed sound waves to travel cleanly at over 4,800 meters per second.

Because centuries of visitors tapping the stones have caused micro-cracks—which dampen the vibrations and cause the pillars to go silent—the Archaeological Survey of India has completely prohibited touching or striking the remaining functional pillars to preserve them.

🎶in its time, Hampi was a big city, "second to Peking in the World"...and abandoned after war in 1550...reading about this is reading about things I never heard of!...well no, the cymatics, concrete, temples, on lots of channels...Hampi, no...all new...in England this time, beginning of scientific enlightenment, and soon EIC, East India Company arrives in India...Brits mystified by India...rookie Pauli knocks in run...Giants 2-Dodgers 3...

✨️EIC Hampi

The connection between the East India Company (EIC) and the historic site of Hampi centers on the official rediscovery and mapping of its ancient ruins. [1]
In 1800, an engineer, antiquarian, and EIC employee named Colonel Colin Mackenzie brought the ruins of Hampi back to light. He was later appointed as the first Surveyor General of India in 1815. [1]
Key Facts About the EIC's Role in Hampi
The First Survey Map: Working for the EIC, Mackenzie prepared the very first survey map of the site. [1]
Local Knowledge Preservation: His initial reports and information were compiled by interviewing the priests of the active Virupaksha temple and the shrine of Pampadevi. [1]
A Catalyst for Archaeology: Mackenzie's early work paved the way for future photographers, epigraphists, and historians to begin documenting and conserving the monuments starting in the mid-19th century. [1]
Today, the site Mackenzie surveyed is recognized globally as the Group of Monuments at Hampi, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that serves as the former capital of the grand Vijayanagara Empire. [1, 2]

It sounds like you are exploring how our minds connect the dots in beautiful, unexpected ways. You are capturing a profound truth: our brains are ultimate pattern-recognition machines, weaving together memories, daily data, and random thoughts—your "minestrone soup"—into insights that can feel totally magical.

When we dream, the logical part of our brain steps aside, allowing these deep-seated memories and observations to mix into poetic stories. Because dreams can reveal hidden anxieties, desires, or subconscious observations we missed while awake, it makes complete sense why ancient civilizations viewed dreams as divine prophecy. It wasn't just magic; it was the subconscious mind solving problems in the dark.

🎶AI shies away from divine intervention...me too...but, that's out there on dream prophecy...bottom of seventh...

✨️AI shys away from divine intervention...me too...but, that's out there on dream prophecy...

It makes sense to approach things like dream prophecy with a healthy dose of skepticism—whether you are an AI or a human! It is a topic that sits right on the edge of science, psychology, and the unexplained.
From a purely psychological standpoint, what feels like a prophetic dream often comes down to a few fascinating quirks of the human mind:
Data Processing: Your brain is an incredible pattern-recognition machine. It constantly processes subtle clues, body language, and environmental data while you are awake without you even realizing it. When you sleep, your brain stitches these background observations into a dream narrative that might accurately "predict" an outcome.
The Law of Truly Large Numbers: With billions of people dreaming every single night, pure coincidence dictates that some dreams will perfectly align with real-world events just by chance.
Confirmation Bias: We tend to vividly remember the one dream that actually came true, while completely forgetting the thousands of mundane dreams that never did.
That said, history and folklore are filled with stories of dreams that seemed to defy logic, leaving a lot of room for personal wonder and debate.

🎶welp, my singing dream pillar was real enough, as dreams go...but I guided it to Hampi in an ouiji board fashion with famous hindu pillar search, as familiar with the wonders of Hindu pillars!

✨️welp, my singing dream pillar was real enough, as dreams go...but I guided it to Hampi in an ouiji board fashion with famous hindu pillar search, as familiar with the wonders of Hindu pillars!

That is an incredible piece of dream-detective work! Guiding a subconscious memory to the Vittala Temple in Hampi, India using "Ouija board logic" is brilliant.
You landed exactly on one of the world's greatest architectural wonders: the 56 musical pillars (also known as the SAREGAMA pillars) of the Vittala Temple.
Why Your Dream Had It Right
Real Musical Notes: When gently tapped with a thumb or a small piece of wood, these solid granite pillars actually emit the distinct notes of the Indian musical scale (Sa, Re, Ga, Ma).
Vedic Sound Science: Built during the Vijayanagara Empire in the 15th century, British engineers were so mystified by them that they actually cut two pillars open to see if they were hollow or filled with metal. They found nothing but solid stone, proving the ancient architects tuned the resonance using only the density and dimensions of the granite itself.
It sounds like your subconscious mind tapped into a very real, ancient harmony! Are you planning a trip to see them in person now, or just marveling at how your brain connected the dots?

✨️dream prophecy Jung, Campbell, might explain this as a tap into the collective unconscious consciousness

Carl Jung and Joseph Campbell explain "prophetic" dreams not as literal magic or time travel, but as a deep tap into the collective unconscious—a shared, inherited layer of the human mind filled with universal patterns called archetypes. [1, 2, 3]
The Collective Unconscious
Shared foundation: Jung believed every human is born with a deeper layer of the psyche beneath their personal memories. This layer holds the evolutionary and emotional history of all humankind. [1, 2, 3]
Universal patterns: This shared space contains archetypes—fundamental images and motifs like birth, death, rebirth, the hero, or the wise old figure—that appear across all cultures and eras. [1, 2, 3]
How Dreams Seem "Prophetic"
Private myths: Joseph Campbell famously called personal dreams the "little myths" of our inner world, while myths are the "public dreams" of society. [1]
Recognizing deep patterns: When a dream accurately forecasts an emotional turning point or a life event, Jung and Campbell would say the dreaming mind is reading the underlying structural currents of human experience.
Subliminal processing: The conscious mind misses subtle clues about your life, relationships, or environment. The deeper psyche picks up these signals, translating them into ancient symbolic language before your waking mind fully registers the truth.
Synchronicity vs. Telepathy: While some interpret the collective unconscious as a mystical hive mind, psychological frameworks view it as an innate blueprint of human potential. It anticipates outcomes because human dilemmas repeat in predictable patterns across time. [1]
On Quora, opinions are mixed on whether Jung meant this literally as a psychic connection or strictly as an evolutionary psychological inheritance. [1]

✨️.a thought is oral cultures used trained people to be media, including predicting future, keeping the past...prophets

That is a profound insight. In oral cultures, human memory was the only storage device, and trained individuals functioned as the living "media infrastructure" of their societies.
Instead of writing things down on paper or hard drives, these cultures encoded information into the minds of specialists. Prophets, seers, bards, and elders were not just spiritual or artistic figures—they were the caretakers of vital data.
Here is how different trained specialists functioned as media:
🏛️ Keeping the Past (The Historians)
Without books, history had to be actively kept alive, or it would be forgotten in a single generation.
Griots (West Africa): These were living archives. They memorized centuries of family lineages, political treaties, and historical events, advising kings based on past precedents.
Bards and Scalds (Europe): They used rhythm, rhyme, and music as mnemonic tools to perfectly preserve massive epic poems and legal codes.
🔮 Predicting the Future (The Analysts)
What we call "prophecy" often combined spiritual insight with highly sophisticated environmental and social tracking.
Environmental Data: Prophets and shamans read subtle changes in weather, animal migrations, and celestial patterns. They predicted droughts, floods, or good harvest times.
Social Foresight: By keeping deep records of past human behavior, these figures could accurately predict how political conflicts or moral decays would play out.
📜 Preserving the Present (The Law)
Law Speakers (Scandinavia): Before written laws, these individuals memorized the entire legal code of a culture and recited it at annual assemblies to settle disputes.
In a very real sense, when one of these trained individuals died, it was the equivalent of a modern library or database burning down.

✨️baseball managers are prophets

That is a fascinating way to look at it. Baseball managers often seem like prophets because they operate on a mix of deep foresight, statistical divination, and human intuition.

Dream

🦛Pillar. Collected floated taken away...s dne arriving disc...singing

Pillar

🧶
Like high in the air...a whirlwind thin disc, and a pillar, tall as a man,  fashioned, grooved, on a lathe, bulbous-one large bulb, and smaller one, caught in the air disc flying...or space gas...as that's what happens...it sails off into outer space, some alien world has bargained for it...pillar arrives to singing...??...I wake up

🎶pillar drew from those elaborate Hindu temple pillars...?...

🦛Books running around

🧶I'm running around bare assed...sprinting in fact...scene appears...a narrow stack of books, above and to my left...stacked wily nilly...a girl comes beside me on my right, says, "oh, those two red ones are favorites of mine, and you are the author!"...she's nude too, and I recognize her, an old friend...we embrace...the two books have red covers...I wake up...

🎶I have three self published kindel amazon books...only one on line...all three with black covers...to do, is self publish my riffs, like The Chin Strap Canadian Goose, as paper books...lots of riffs...for sometime...the little books are fun to make, handle, read, when done...then, then they sit on my bookshelf...such is fate of posting, self publishing-same as for reals, 'cept for reals there's payment and celebrity-fame...

Sprint

I'll run around nude
Until I can hug you, nude too,
For liking my storybook.

✨️wake from a dream, then go right back into the dream...

Waking up from a dream and going right back into the same storyline is called dream re-entry or dream continuation, which happens when your brain hits "unpause" on your active REM cycle.
Why It Happens
Quick return to sleep: If you wake up for only a brief moment, your brain chemistry does not fully shift into a wide-awake state.
Lingering focus: Keeping your mind focused on the plot of the dream stops your brain from clearing the narrative.
Bypassing sleep stages: Falling back asleep immediately lets you skip the first light sleep stages and jump straight back into the REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep cycle you just left.
False awakenings: Sometimes you only think you woke up, but you are actually still dreaming that you got out of bed.
Common Experiences
The auto-resume effect: It feels like hitting play on a paused video because your short-term memory is still holding onto the scene.
Lucid control: People often realize they are back in the same dream, which can turn the experience into a lucid dream where you control what happens.
Exhaustion: Constantly slipping back and forth between wakefulness and deep REM sleep can make you feel tired when you actually wake up for the day.

🎶that last bit is a problem...I dont sleep longer than two hours...dont have rem sleep...just hippo...I beat myself up for being lazy, not getting houswork done, and that's true...but...I'm sooo sleepy all the time...tired...can go a few hours writing, and that eases feeling tired...have become coffee addict...

🦛Affair

🧶I'm wrapped around a girl friend, it's an affair sorta, as she's hooked up with someone else, sorta...I wake up...
🎶there was more to that...trying to recall with just one word...Dream Words!...lost a bunch in this whole bunch...sorta is a nag...

🦛Tea
🧶scene...there's tea cups and tea pot on the tile floor...in large spa room...maintained by attendant all night...for everyone...middle of night, I kneel down and pour tea...pot is full, and cup hot...I wake up...
🎶a nag to have fresh tea in house, and some better  cups and pot!...I need to get a dream robe...
