Stupa
A domed Buddhist monument containing relics — a place that exists to be walked around in a slow circle of attention.
A stupa in a dream is the dream's image of a place that exists to be walked around in a slow circle of attention. The stupa is not entered; the practice is to circle it, keeping the right shoulder toward the dome, while holding the interior practice. The dream brings the stupa when something in your life — a held memory, a kept teaching, a centre around which your interior is currently organised — is being honoured not by entering it but by patient circling. A stupa walked around in the right direction with steady attention is the dream affirming the kept practice. A stupa walked past once and forgotten is the dream noting that the centre that was supposed to organise the circling has been treated as a tourist feature, and the practice it was built for has not been done.
