Stress Dreams?

I used to dream vividly. As a kid, I had night terrors and I had active dreams through high school. In college, I stopped. I just had dead sleep.

I lost my job on Monday, and I've dreamt every night since then. I also sleep during the day, which I never used to be able to do. My dreams vary, and the last 2 I had I can't remember. My partner thinks I'm stress dreaming.

Anyone had experience with that?

Hi,
My take on dreaming is different than many others. Here's what I think:
* Each night when we go to sleep we leave our physical bodies
* We do many, many things out of our bodies each night
* This includes experimenting with probable futures, learning, communicating with our thousands of other lives, etc.
* Each of us has what I call a "belief suit". These are approximately 200 different energy conscious filters that we use to create our personality with
* These "filters" effectively reduce our conscious level interactions with the "greater reality" we come from
* This is why most people awake and say they had no dreams
* However, when times are stressful, like in your case losing a job, or when you're diagnosed with an illness or, some one you know dies or, there's a major catastrophe, then the average person is left looking for "answers"
* This is an opportunity for their greater self to get through the "belief filters" and communicate more consciously resulting in things like better dream recall, intuitions, visitations, etc.
* Most people take a moment to consider this and then discount it and move on with their life - They're living in what I call a "digital daydream"

So, an obvious response to what I've just said above would be "prove it". There are many ways to begin showing others there is much more than our physical bodies...

The old hindi's of 2,500-3,000 years ago wanted to have out of body experiences. They did this by occupying the conscious mind allowing their inner soul to rise. Today, this is called yoga and the OBE portion is mostly an afterthought.

When they were out of their bodies, they saw energy swirling into the body from the sun, from the earth and from the side. They called these main points "chakras". Then they saw that the energy went into small points they called "nadis".

They then did something that amazes me to this day. They mapped 70,000 different nadi points and then it went up to 100,000.

This knowledge crossed over the Himalayas and went down into China. It became adopted as energy meridian lines. Today accupuncture uses this.

On the scientific front, one can read "Life Force - The Scientific Basis" and "the Synchronized Universe" by Dr. Claude Swanson. In these books he documents many different scientific studies about paranormal.

Another way is to actually prove it to oneself. This can be done via meditation, dream journalling and lucid dreams.

Another way is to use the hemisync technology that Robert Monroe pioneered to help people get to the theta state and have out of body experiences. You can go to the Monroe Institute to learn more.

Another way is to go to a hypnotist trained by the Newton Institute. This was created by a psychologist Michael Newton. About 30 or so years ago, he had a woman under hypnosis who went to a place she called her "live between lives". He then found out that many of his other patients went to a very similar place. He then write three books and began to train psychologists how to do this.

Then there is the "way out there' stuff that is not so "way out there" anymore. Some physicists now hypothesize we live in a "virtual reality". The bottom line is we are bits of code. This theory does the best job at explaining things like the double slit experiment, string theory and quantum mechanics. On a free website I create a year and a half ago "learningfrommydreams" dot com, on the resource page, there is a section on science and under it several links on digital physics with some youtube links as well.

So, you are the captain of your own spiritual ship. What you believe is the reality you create. I tell people i meet who tell me they don't dream, to simply tell themselves, before they go to sleep each night that they will recall their dreams,

Then I tell them that when they wake up in the middle of the night or the morning, to not move their physical bodies. Simply try to recall any dream.

At first, they usually tell me nothing happens. They they tell me they recall a dream fragment. This is usually followed by a dream scene and then multiple scenes.

They then tell me their dreams are so weird and they don't make sense.

That requires them to listen to themselves and learn to interpret their own dreams.

Well, enough of me babbling here. i hope I have given you something to think about.

With kind regards,

Hi,
One final thought...

Robert Monroe talked about "phasing". His own experiences taught him that we both livng in our bodies and the greater reality simultaneously. He was able to shift his consciousness to access the many different realities we live in. He called this "phasing".

This really resonated with me. I have my own theory that because of the "belief suits" each of us is wearing we think we are in our body and there is either nothing else or, that it's something different. Freud and Jung took this as being the conscious and unconscious state. Many people talk about "the other side".

I don't think there is any difference at all. It's simply a matter of how we tune our conscious focus.

Just some more food for thought.

Wow. Thank you. That was an amazing answer
