Dreams

If you should come to be able to stand back from the ‘normal’ functioning of humanity, you will find that dreams are actually conveyed by interactions with others. Parents will transfer their dreams to their children. The alien abduction experience for instance, has been found to be passed down in this way. Diseases and habits will also be passed in the same way. Although science may say this is a process of genetics, on a higher level, much more is involved.

In that form, dreams and visions are just another form of communication. The difference between those experiences given by ‘higher’ souls and those of family, or associates, would be similar to the distinction between a class given by a college professor and a nursery school teacher. As you become closer to those greater souls who are connected with the ‘source’, so too you will come to know that ‘source’. It is an inherent part of this connection to receive information about the future, in the form of dreams, or visions.

Because we are constantly being ‘hit’, by the people around us, we need to be able to discern the casual transfers, from what is being given to us by the higher sources. Most of our daily contacts result in what I would call the reception of emotional drivel. The majority of people have no idea they are doing. It is kind of like children who cry, throw tantrums and throw things around to get attention. Children need to do these things in order to sustain themselves, by keeping the attention of their parents. In addition to these physical actions some people will ‘hit’ you physically as well. The transfers on this level are usually both physically and spiritually debilitating.

The two individuals I will most often be quoting, Nostradamus and Edgar Cayce, obtained most of their insights though their own personal connection with the higher sources. By their own capacities they were able to transcend the ‘blind’ confusion, most people are subject to. At this point, one comes to realize that getting the attention of those around you is a fleeting, if not useless endeavor.

The attention you really want is from the higher souls. Most specifically, that of the Father in whatever form He may be to you. As you reach out to this source, through the exercise of your own will to do so, the answers will come. In the beginning, the experiences can be a bit overwhelming, because of the higher energy level of those souls. But, if you stay with it, you should eventually become used to dealing with this state of awareness.

With persistence, you will come to know, that we are all connected to the source, in one degree or another. Our main barrier to being consciously aware of this is simply fear. We have been conditioned to believe, it is beyond our capability to do so, or, such efforts will result in loosing our minds, tempting fate, flirting with Satan, or the like. The worst possible belief is; I am not worthy to know. For whatever reason this barrier has been established, it is one which everyone at some point must cross - even if they should have to do so at the time of death.

While I encourage everyone to seek this higher realization, I will also be the first to say, that it is not an easy process. Indeed, there are times, when you feel as if you are losing your mind and in a certain sense you are. The mind does not have the capacity to absorb the greater capacities of the soul, even though it will try to do so. You have to let go of the mental process in order to move up. More appropriate perhaps, would be to say, you have to recognize the mind for its limitations. Although this sounds easy, it is not.

This is why the assistance of a teacher can be very helpful - someone to watch over you and guide you in the transition from an awareness of your reality through the mind and the senses, to one of the soul. In essence, this is a process of 'opening'. At first, you come to believe that every mystical experience is being created by them. In fact, in most cases, these experiences are conveyed to you, by your own imagines and emulations by the ego. The process of overcoming this with a teacher involves this person focusing on your higher nature in a way that will “move” you to that form.

Many times my teachers would make it a point to tell me which of my experiences he was giving and what was coming from my higher Self or my ego. He would also point out, that everyone goes through this process in a different manner based on capacity and experience. Not everyone can be a great prophet. Not every prophet will be a great healer. So it is with everyone, both in the mystical sense and in the physical world.

For those who may be starting their own quest into this realm, a good place to begin, is by digging more deeply into the dream state. Most of us pay little attention to our dreams, unless they become very emotionally charged. Even then, most dreams are taken as a minor annoyance, rather than something meaningful.

Researchers have found, that everyone, has at least a moment or two, in a state where if awakened, they will remember dreaming about something. I believe the scientists are correct in assessing, that most dreams are a way for a person to release certain fears, anxieties, or desires in a relatively harmless manner. Along with these primal dreams however, there are a number of other types of dreams.

If you are going to take your quest seriously, it is a good idea to write down your dreams as soon as you wake up. As you are going to sleep, make a suggestion to your subconscious that you want to remember your dreams. I would also tell myself, what I would like to dream about. Or, I would like the answer to a question about something.

When remembering the dream, the first thing one should pay attention to, is the color of the images in a dream as this will give an indication of the source of the inspiration. The level of color in the pictures you see will correspond to the frequency level of where the dream came from. Colors can vary from grays and blacks all the way to colors which look like an electrified neon. Dreams in black, and white, or gray shades are usually generated by lower energy levels i.e. fear, desire, sex, anger, frustration, and the like. These dreams are coming from the first Chakra level and probably involve a venting of a fear or an anxiety. Dreams in vivid color usually come from a higher frequency and will relay an aspect of wisdom, a future event, or the spiritual nature of a person around you.

I would also suggest that you try to 'watch' yourself go to sleep and waking up. Try to become conscious of knowing when you are asleep. This seems to be contradictory because normally one would consider sleep to be a state were there is no conscious awareness. On the other hand, if you consider sleep to be simply a bodily function and not necessarily one of the mind or, certainly not a function of the soul, then the idea of watching yourself in this state is not so impossible.

If you can master this ability then look for a point where you are just above the deepest level of sleep. This is state is kind of difficult to describe, but hopefully, you will notice a point, where at first, you would see a flash of color as you pass through it. Or, you might hear something like 60 radio stations, all playing at one time. If you can tune into this point you will find it is here where the body is serving as an antennae for the soul. The colors are of the energy forces around us and the radio stations are the thoughts of those we are connected to.

This level is where you will ‘see’ what you might call our ‘true’ reality – a place which is like a TV station, transmitting, and receiving, thoughts, and visions. Most of us have been trained from birth to focus on the very limited capacity of our minds and bodies. Because of this, we are tuned into those channels which support this type of thinking. To get beyond this, we must learn how to ‘tune’ into the stations (sources), which transmit the type of energy designed for higher purposes.

This is why most spiritual practices are aimed at changing ones attention away from the lower based, physical, mental and emotional responses. If one is successful at doing this, then your dreams will be of a more meaningful nature. In the ‘higher’ sense, dreams are the reality, and the physical form is the dream. If you are in tune with the creative forces behind the flow into the physical, then this can be so. If not, then your dreams are mostly an extension of your everyday emotional frustrations.
