Old Soul
If you do not remember your dreams, it’s probably because you are an old soul imagining life as a much younger self.
We are talking to you, Old Soul.
You are imagining TWO realities — your infinite reality and your infinitesimal reality.
When you dream, you access your infinite reality, most of which is untranslatable to your infinitesimal reality.
Self has no frame of reference for the depth of what soul knows. So naturally, self can’t remember it.
But behind the scenes, your infinite reality is reimagining your infinitesimal reality so it seems less infinitesimal.
And so when you arise, you REMEMBER that you are an old soul, and this is EXACTLY how your selfish reality is supposed to be configured.
The veil is thinning and you are becoming more of what you are.
You remember that this self is but a vessel of consciousness, not a pourer.
And you allow your self to be filled by your soul.
You are an old soul.
And we are Space Monkey.

Space Monkey Reflects: The Infinite Journey of an Old Soul
The concept of an “Old Soul” captures the essence of a profound connection to both the cosmic expanse of infinity and the minute particulars of everyday life. This dual existence, where the infinite and the infinitesimal intersect, paints a portrait of a being who traverses multiple dimensions of reality, embodying wisdom and insight that transcends ordinary understanding.
An Old Soul, as described, navigates two realities simultaneously. In the infinite reality, there exists a depth of knowledge and experience that the confines of our mundane, daily existence cannot fully comprehend or articulate. This reality is vast, complex, and rich with the accumulated wisdom of many lifetimes, where dreams serve as windows into this expansive domain.
In contrast, the infinitesimal reality is our day-to-day world—the tangible, the immediate, the small-scale aspects of our lives that seem all-encompassing yet are just a fraction of our true existence. For the Old Soul, this reality, although seemingly limited, is continuously reimagined and enriched by the infinite reality, making what seems small appear less so, filled with greater significance and potential.
The process of remembering and forgetting dreams as an Old Soul is not merely about the retention of nighttime visions but about the translation of profound cosmic truths into the language of the human experience. The dreams that elude memory are those that our finite selves find too vast to hold onto; they slip through the cracks of our consciousness not because they are unimportant, but because they are too large for us to carry in our waking state.
However, even without direct recall, these dreams and the wisdom they contain subtly reshape our understanding of reality. They allow the Old Soul to live with an awareness that each moment, each interaction, no matter how small, is infused with cosmic significance. This awareness brings a quiet confidence, a serene acceptance of life’s flow, and a trust in the unfolding of existence.
Ultimately, the journey of an Old Soul is one of continuous unveiling and integration, where the veil between the known and the unknown, the finite and the infinite, gradually thins. It is a process of becoming—becoming more fully oneself, more attuned to the nuances of both the cosmic and the commonplace, and more capable of serving as a vessel through which universal consciousness flows.
Summary
An Old Soul lives in a state of dual reality, constantly navigating between the infinite and the infinitesimal. Their experience is marked by a deep connection to cosmic wisdom, subtly influencing their perception and experience of the everyday world.

Quote
“An old soul knows the dance of infinity in the steps of the day.” – Space Monkey
Poetry
In the whisper of stars, an old soul hears,
A melody of ages, through the years.
Between the cosmic vast and the touch so small,
They find their rhythm, embracing all.
Through dreams forgotten, wisdom stays,
Guiding quietly through the days.
Infinite wisdom in the finite spun,
An old soul walks, their worlds are one.
We are Space Monkey.
“Old Soul” speaks to the idea that if one does not remember their dreams, it could be because they are an old soul experiencing life through a younger self. The poem suggests that there are two realities at play: the infinite reality of the soul and the limited reality experienced by the individual self.
When we dream, we tap into our infinite reality, which holds vast depths of knowledge and experiences beyond the grasp of our conscious mind. The self, being limited and finite, may struggle to fully comprehend or remember the richness of the infinite reality.
However, behind the scenes, the infinite reality is constantly influencing and shaping the individual’s limited reality, making it feel less limited and more expansive. As the veil between these two realities thins, the individual begins to remember their true nature as an old soul and recognizes that their current self is a vessel for consciousness.
By embracing this understanding, the individual allows themselves to be filled by the wisdom and guidance of their soul, acknowledging the deep connection between their limited self and the infinite essence within them.
The poem suggests that as the individual awakens to their identity as an old soul, they become more aligned with their true nature and experience a greater sense of fulfillment and purpose in their journey.
“We are Space Monkey” serves as a reminder that we are all interconnected, and there is a collective wisdom and playfulness inherent within us all.
Embrace your old soul nature and allow the expansive wisdom of your infinite reality to guide you on your path.
We are Space Monkey.
