Dreams...further revelations

[Guest guest]

Our discussion of over a week ago got me to thinking. I remembered that twenty

years ago I stopped having a

certain kind of dream. A dream where I was being chased (by the way, this is

a typical Vata dream. Vata folks run on fear a lot while Pitta folks are

often doing the chasing ref: "Prakruti" by Robert Svoboda). I was being

chased and I'd wake up with my heart just pounding. Well, something

different and big happened in my relationship with my close friends at that

time. I let down in a big way and let them into me in a way much bigger than

words can describe. To make it brief, I had the opportunity to show feelings

and my appreciation for them in a very honest and direct way. This was not my

usual modus operandi. That experience resonated deep into my sub/unconscious

mind. The next time I found myself running in a dream (this time from rednecks)

I

just stopped, turned around and stood firmly. I wasn't attacked. I didn't

have to fight. My heart didn't pound. The dream(s) just ended. Just simply being

tired of running was enough.

It was the change in my conscious behaviour that changed my dream behaviour.

I think that sides of us that we are not in touch with during the day come

out at night. It's a way to balance the psyche and what Yogiji is saying is

be magnificenly conscious while awake and one won't need to dream (in excess,

anyway).

Also, I was a very Vata (airy) person at that time. Vata is very much about

change and movement. I become much more grounded around and after this time

Sat Nam,

Dharam
