Dream Related

[jonmou]

I have been writing down my dreams lately.  At first I would sleep threw the night wake up and start writing, but latley I wake up in the middle of the night and am too tired to write down my dream.  This happens sometimes up to 5 times in a night so by the time I wake up I only remember some of the last dream I had.  

Any ways I was actually wondering if there is a good resource for dream interpretation anywhere out there?  I am starting to amass a large collection of very unusual dreams which may or may not have meaning.

I figure most of my dreams don't mean anything but I have noticed sometimes in my dreams I will get a very stong feeling about something or become emotional due to some event.  It seems like when I get these feelings my dreams are trying to tell me something.  Is there a good methode for knowing if your dream is a sign or just the mind blowing off steam

The best book by far that I have found, for interpreting dreams is:

Inner Work : Using Dreams and Creative Imagination for Personal Growth and Integration -- by Robert A. Johnson

It does not use the method of using pre-defined generic symbols for which there seem to a gazillion books for. It gives you a method where you write down the various aspects of what you remember, and you write down your first, second, third impression of what you think it means for you, and you end up really learning to communicate with your unconscious.

However, I have not read the Dreams section of U.A.R ebook yet, so I'd check that out.

I've read books of Robert Moss. He states that eventually no one can tell you exactly what your dream means but yourself. I know that this can be hard.

Has anyone done any research into or can explain what actually causes the feeling of deja vu? Is it something metaphysical?

Hello August829,

Has anyone done any research into or can explain what actually causes the feeling of deja vu? Is it something metaphysical?

There can be several reasons for the feeling known as "deja vu". One of the most common causes relates to a previous life; i.e. having actually physically been to the same place before in a previous incarnation.

There can also be "metaphysical" reasons; for example it is quite possible to visit somewhere in a dream or during an unconscious Out of Body Experience. In absolute terms, as Spirit we are everywhere concurrently, so it is possible that an aspect of your self has a particular affinity to the place of the deja vu.

Of all these I would think the previous life is the most likely.

Best regards,

Adrian.

Thanks Adrian. The previous life scenario seems very plausible but in recalling past deja vu experiences, I not only feel like I've been at a particular location before, but I also feel like my actions, dialog, and that of others involved have been done before. How would this fit into a previous life deja vu experience?

How would this fit into a previous life deja vu experience?

As I said before there are various possibilities and the past life experience is usually a major possibility. Another possibility that has been known before is to be experiencing a future event. "Time" is a human construct and beyond the physical world "time" does not exist. Everything that has ever happened, is happening and ever will happen is all in the "Eternal Now".

This is how remote viewing works, i.e. how RV'ers can sense future events. Pre-cognitive dreams are another example; you might have been to that location in a dream state.

Best regards,

Adrian.

Makes sense. Thanks again.

Hello August829,


Here is another thing that may explain deja vu...


...as you were saying, not only do you feel you have been in the same exact location,  

but I also feel like my actions, dialog, and that of others involved have been done before.

Sylvia Brown offers a very good explanation for this...

She says, and I do believe, that we chart our Lives before coming into them. That means that we choose everything we want to experience - and that it is all written down on our "blue-prints" if you will.

When you experience deja vu, you are recalling something that is on your blue-print, which just serves as a sign-post, letting you know that you are on the right track.

she also says that deja vus don't usually come for what we call "significant" events such as weddings or funureals. She says they are just meant to be signposts.

In my own experience though, I have found that they come around and "surround" spiritually significant events, like certain descisions made, or certain actions (or non-actions) taken...

That is why I get so happy whenever I experience deja vu...


...I know I am on the right track.

Hi,

I need to know if someone has experienced anything similar. I'll tell you what happened to me this morning when I woke up.

I was balancing between the dreamstate and wakingstate and when switching from the dream- to waking state, I shook VERY heavily all over and felt a stabbing like dreampain in the back of my head. I say 'dreampain', since it's the kind of pain that doesn't really hurt, but you know that it should hurt, like you have in dreams sometimes. And it sure doesn't feel pleasant. At that vibrational/backhead stab-moment, I also heard a sound of a machine-like beam-sound. I know it looks silly when reading these words, but I don't know how else to describe it. It happened twice since I switched between worlds twice; the 1st time it just happened and the 2nd time I kind off induced it myself.

More detail about the dream:

I was in a dream reality; I woke up in that dream next to a beautiful dark haired girl. We were in sleeping bags on the ground in a mountainlike landscape. Now that's a scene I really don't mind dreaming about.

She was still asleep while her cellular phone rang. I took the call and spoke with a girlfriend of hers. For some reason I told that girl that we were lost somewhere in the mountains. I somehow could see her with my third eye when she talked to me through the phone; she was in an air-balloon. Then the battery of the phone was empty and I got disconnected. I think I got my first vibrational switch between worlds at that moment, but I'm not sure. If so, I got back into the dream as well:
The dark haired girl awoke from her sleep and I told her what happened and that her girlfriend was probably the only one who could reach us out here in the mountains because she was in an air-balloon. But now the battery of the phone was dead... The darkhaired girl then suddenly kissed me full on my mouth for no reason. At that very moment, I got the vibrations + sound + backhead stab again and I switched to waking state.

Don't get me wrong; I've been through a lot of weird things in dreams and balanced between worlds before, but this stabbing feeling in the back of the head was pretty new to me. When it happened, I remember thinking that something was biting me or doing something to me... I tried to grab around me, see if I could feel some kind of animal-like entity but it gets very fuzzy there.

Anyone with stab-feelings in the back of the head in combination with heavy vibrations?

[Eagle]

Well I've had very few paranormal experiences with dreams, but the ones I've had have been very real and strange. (Pointless information).

Anyway, as to that dream pain, I once had a terrifying dream, these came in a set (how lovely). I was sitting down and keeping my leg away from a dog. This went on for ages, up, left etc. Then it bit me and I woke up and felt the pain, but this was pretty real, and it disipated.

Also a bumble bee stuck in my ear (shiver), this was in the same dream- waking state you descibe. My eyes were open (looking at my pillow) but I wasn't really there, I was seeing through my third eye (the dream).

I have had absolutely NO health problems in these areas, and both these dreams were years ago.

I liken the dog dream pain to fear. A literal stab of fear in my leg. Perhaps I was working through a fear at the time in the subtle body.

The bee, I'm really unsure of, but if I was to take a guess, something to do with vulnerability. If it was that it was giving me the message WAY before I figured it out, years later.

The vibrations thing you describe is definitely, definitely an OOBE type thing. Definitely, look anywhere to find that. So maybe switching worlds is more real than just a dream thing.

And I'll take a pop at the dream for the sake of it. I think sleeping on the ground and the thing with the girl could be root chakra. And you are unable to contact effectively something in the air, energies in the upper part of your body. Stab in the head, energies in upper part need attention. But this could be completely wrong, see if it resonates with you. For instance, it could be the opposite, e.g. girl is a good thing, don't bother with upper energies right now etc.

Hi Namaste,

Thanks for replying. Yes, I see these things as OBE experiences, although I rather say 'AP', since it's a projection in the astral worlds. The term OBE is too vague; it could be anything and if I'd have to give it a place, it relates more to physical reality then to astral/dream worlds.

I'm well aware of projecting very often, but most of the time I'm not aware of it when it happens; I notice it afterwards. In the past, I've been reading about projecting and dreams alot, but because it worsens my sleep deficit, I decided to let it go for now and think about nothing when I want to sleep, no consious thinking at least. If I do think about projecting and dreaming before going to bed, I can forget about falling asleep because I become too exited about the subject.

About the higher chakra's... It's true that certain of my higher chakras are weak. Especially my third eye and the 2nd weakest is the throat chakra.
The throat chakra could relate to a communication problem I have. It's a stuttering problem from the past that can come up and holds me back in certain areas in life. Actually, it holds my back in life, period. It's the most annoying and hardest problem to get rid of for me. But you'll only be able to fully understand what that's like when you're experienced it yourself and I hope you never have to. In comparison, RSI, allergy, sinusitis are/were EASY to deal with and although allergy was a hell when summer would start, I just laugh about that one now. Perhaps one sneese in a while and itchy eyes for some moments, but that's it.

I don't know what to say about the third eye chakra... I did had problems with sinusitis, like I said, but that's not really the case anymore.

However, I don't really see the link with the stab since the stab was in the back of my head, just below or around the place of the bony bump I can feel at the back of my skull, where the neck ends and the skull starts. If I don't think and just follow my feelings about the experience, I felt more that it was some kind of attack.

Hi

I had a lucid dream for about 2 months ago where i was totaly aware of that i was dreaming it was really mindblowing. Everything felt so real even more real in a way, i could feel the energy of the invirement.

The next dream i had was me standing on an edge and realizing that i might be dreaming, the only way to find out was to jump of the edge i thougt.

So i did, then that feelign of lucidity strarted to come and i woke up. Damn i thought. I had another dream just like that but from another tall egde. And the same thing happend, i could not continue to have a luciddream expierrience.

But the next dream is really weird.

I acctually realize im dreaming and try to convince my dreamcharacters that we are in a dream. I am telling them , listen this is a dream, cant u understand. And they just dont take me serius.

This dream of trying do tell my dreamcharacters that there dreaming has happend like 3 times i love it but each time its gets less lucid. Last time it was just a dream of me knowing that i was dreaming(get it). it was not really lucid.

What could this dream mean? And how can i get into it more,and not wake up, I really want the dream to be like the first lucid dream. <Totaly aware.

Eny dream experts here?

[rudiger650]

Im not a dream expert, but I know a reliable way to understand your dream is by examining the emotion it invokes. Perhaps your lucid dream awakenings cooincide with spiritual awakenings. Do you find yourself trying and perhaps failing to convince people of new ideas?

Just something tha popped in my head,

Very good..This was acctualy what i thougt it meant aswell.

I have tried to tell some friends at work about reality creation but they just made fun of me and my ideas.

Ill just jump to onother topic wich is creating reality.


Im begining to relly belive in this stuff, cuz im seeing the stuff that goes thru my head.  To this point it has only been people i tought about.

The last one and most impressive creation happend today. I met girl that I first thought about and later for about a week ago talket about whit my
friend.  

Today she sat next to me on the train, at first i didnt belive it was her so when the train stopped i asked if it was her, and indeed it was.

This was a girl I whent to school whit and i havent seen  for about 6 years.
Tha chance of not only meeting her but her acctualy sitting next to me is not verybig. Cuz i never take the train i allways ride my bike. Today i had to do something in town and had to take the train.

This was a very powerfull experriens, and im geting a deeper understanding of this law and how it works.
More stuff like this happens to me but this one was special cuz directly as i saw her i thought : NO way, This is a creation....It cant bee her. But it was!!!

Can enyone share creation stories like this...


Im sorry for bad spelling.
