I share what I learned from my adventures in Consciousness during all states (subtle, causal, nondual). Being perfectly awake in the boundary-dissolving dream state began when I was a girl-child. I recall vividly still, trying to learn how to stand on air by stepping off a chair - and succeeding! I taught myself how to fly too. I learned from first hand experiences that certain 'nightmares' stimulate psychic responses and create psycho-emotional healing by safely releasing pent-up energy of fear or rage.
In my Spiritual Advisor voice, few pointers:
We come to raise you above the limitations of pain and grief...We try to educate , but also know when to let go. All of us are on the journey whether we call it that, or not. Conscious Spiritual Hero follows its Heart and Vision, always.
We wish to remind you, that significant dreams are like messengers who invite us to see there is something very real in their message. Those events are the containers which house the subtlety of meaning, but is up to us to notice that. . .All experiences appear to be 'out there' , but if we look deeper everything we see in the 3D world, in sleep/dream states and (awake) during Yogic sleep state, takes place in our consciousness...this is why we can 'work' with them.
If remembered, some dreams are nothing but mambo-jumbo of unconscious processes.
Others, form the 'significant category' dreams, are like open windows inviting us to step into subtler, deeper dimensions and 'read' their content with a 'higher mind'.
We must be able to discriminate between one's mind dive into its subconscious and its 'formations', and the subtle body's 'messages'.
Waking up in the world behind this world can be disorienting to the not yet fully awakened awareness. One who aspires to become 'awake' has the option to willingly explore the contours of the psyche through non-ordinary states of consciousness, will succeed. Buddhists call this practice "dream yoga".
All are on this journey even if we don't pay attention to the inner world...Those who pay attention, know that our depth reveals a 'bigger story', which gives us the courage to live bigger and braver lives (once our psychological landscape gets cleaned up/healed). Often times the darker niches of our psyche release scary images, and our instinct is to run away from it - in the same manner we run away in waking life from our insecurities - but possible (been there, done that). It takes courage to keep keeping on even when the going gets difficult.
It's hard to admit that we may indeed be filled with violence and pride.
It's hard to admit we harbor within our mind and heart bitterness, jealousy, resentment , that there is selfishness .... and that we thirst for worldly power.
Our Heroic selves, out of compassion, look courageously at those uncouth traits and admit 'this is our karmic lot', and decide to give ourselves permission to not blame others for our not exactly pure as freshly fallen snow personalities.
Don't wait for others to change first . . .They may be pushing your sensitive buttons, but this is your life, your Soul's journey, wait not for anyone to do the heavy lifting for you.
It is up to us to take responsibility for our psycho-emotional healing.
If you can afford it, find a good psychotherapist to help you sort things out.
Draw inspiration from Prayer, or spiritual literature ...
Know, that the Master in you (your highest Self/God - the same Master which is in me also) waits patiently for your co-operation.
When you truly recognize the Significance and Meaning of this message, you will move forward with a song of Gratitude in your heart.
