I believe that some lessons could certainly be learned in ways that
would not be remembered in waking consciousness. Then again, I dunno,
I
would personally not call any experience lessons, nor learning, it is 
just the natural order of things.

For spirit to ascend, a re-merge of its separation must occur. This
is 
the result of experience and "lessons"; to see both sides of an issue
a re-merge takes place.

At some level I believe that any interaction/communication is a 
cooperation, a co-creation, between Person A and Person B. We have
free will, but these are mutually agreed upon creations. 

Can an experience be somehow "wasted", without purpose, in this
universe?
My opinion is that everything is connected and of equal importance.

Good question, unfortunately I have no good answer. :(

In my opinion, anything we experience is the result of who we are. 
The big things and the small things.

Life appears to be a shock full gallery of opportunities to resolve 
issues and to create new ones. All interactions seem to exist for us
to make the best out of them.

I recently had a nasty toothache, so I went to visit the dentist. I 
got the terrible news that I had many holes in my teeth, because I had
ignored going to the dentist for several years. 

I don't see that fixing my teeth is is a bad situation, even though 
it is painful and costs alot of money. Rather, it is a confirmation 
that I have gained the ability to confront the dentist, and finally
settle this issue of mine. 

Why do I have bad teeth? Nothing happens by chance! lol

Who knows, it might have been haunting me for thousands of years.
