Guest guest Posted July 17, 2002 Report Share Posted July 17, 2002 I have a quick question. As others progress in KY, have they noticed any changes in their dreams at night? I guess it makes sense that yoga or any type of spiritual path would affect dreams, but I hadn't really thought about it. I haven't remembered any of my dreams in years (since high school). And in the past month or two, have been remembering at least one dream each night. And they are usually pretty bizarre. I've tried 'interpreting' them, but some make no sense at all. I'm assuming that these are a result of the physical, mental and spiritual changes that I'm beginning to go through. Just wanted to see of others have had similar experiences. Thanks!

Guest guest Posted July 17, 2002 Report Share Posted July 17, 2002 Sat Nam Christa, My experience from dreaming and from other sources and doing KY it this: we solve problems somehow with the dreaming process, its an astral plane, and as we do KY we are also releasing alot of meaningless thoughts, images, fears, emotions, memories. Some of these find their way into our dreams, my feeling is that the garbage is meaningless. I know that when I do a long sadhana, and especially when I do some before bedtime, I rarely dream. I've heard it said that YB doesn't dream, and I'm sure other advanced beings, and that this is good (not dreaming). Blessings Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 17, 2002 Report Share Posted July 17, 2002 Thanks Brad. That makes sense. I was just sitting here reading over some of the dreams (I had begun to keep a dream log/journal when I started having bizarre dreams). As I read through, I'm seeing some common themes/symbols popping up. And I'm pretty sure they represent issues I'm working through right now. At least they make sense in that 'translation'. So I'm beginning to think that KY not only dredges up stuff to deal with during meditation, but also to work through as you dream. Thanks for the feedback!

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2002 Report Share Posted July 18, 2002 Hello or Sat Nam, Yes indeed as a matter of fact my dreams have increased some days they are much more strange although always very educative... I see myself going to places where I have never been : climbing mountains, entering places, people I don't know explaining things to me, using metaphores wild cats for enemies and how to handle difficult difficult situations, sometimes I can interprete the dreams sometimes it's so weird ... >From what I know it's the thyroid gland which when activated by yoga postures helps attracting this kind of dreams anyway we have to be patient and accept it as a part of the overall teaching rather than rejecting it and and losing the benefit.

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2002 Report Share Posted July 18, 2002 Sat Nam Brad and Christa, As usual I asking about places I have never been. My dreams seem very mundane if at all. I only remember the ones that happen when I am supposed to be doing my sadhana, but am persistent in staying in bed. Maybe I have not astral plane.

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2002 Report Share Posted July 18, 2002 Gian- >From my understanding, most people only remember dreams that occur before they wake up because they're fresh in their memory. As for the astral plane, I'm out of my league in this one. I know very little about it, but my understanding is that it's a place seperate from yourself. So it's not that you don't have one, but where you visit/go to when you dream. But I had not heard of the astral plane referred to with dreams before. So someone else should probably comment on it.

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2002 Report Share Posted July 18, 2002 Hi Ellen, Gian, "What is the astral plane?" - We have causal bodies-causal plane (highest), astral bodies-astral plane (in-between), and physical bodies-earth plane. Somehow we access an astral plane when we dream, I believe. Maybe someone with more info can shed light. I just finished with 'Autobiography of a Yogi' and they talk about it some in there.

Four things usually happen when you dream: 1. astral work- you learn and practice things that lead to enlightenment on this level. The body, as Brad said, has stuble bodies (astral, casual, physical ect.) and different forms of consciousness (conscious, subconcious/unconscious, and supersubconscious-which is universal and can be accessed as a library in the astral realm.) To get to the astral plane the physical body must be very relaxed but the mind completely active. As in sleep phases between other forms of sleep. ex. deep sleep but not REM(rapid eye movement). 2. Psychological messages- these dreams come from your sub-conscious (and in my opion include all night mares-which are usually based on unresolved issues from the dreamers past).In this type of dream the subconscious sends the conscious a message throught the use of symbols. [The subconscious mind uses symbols to relay messages where as the conscious uses words. This makes me feel that the conscious mind lays in the left part of the brain and the unconscious in the right. The left brain works every orderly,one step at a time; where as the right brain sees the whole pattern at once. ex1/ Left Brain:trees Right Brain: Forest ex2/ LB: h-o-u-s-e RB: picture of a house (I can't sketch in emails) ex3/LB: letters, numbers, step-by-step, verbal expression RB: shapes, sizes, pictures, pattens, "creative" expression-art.] 3. Play- This type of dream is your brain goofing off or having fun. 4. Any combinatioin of the above- This is part of the reason why dream anaylasis books don't work. One must also rember that symbols have differnt meanings to different people. If I, an American, dream I'm saying the pledge of allegance to the American flag it doesn't have the same meaning as a French person doing the same action. So these are the four basic dream types. If you have any question or want any clarifactions just ask, it is a lot of info yet only an introduction. If anyone wants to know more I'll refresh my memory as to sleep cycles and patterns. There are many good books about this sort of thing too if anyone is interested. Blessings Kaerie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 19, 2002 Report Share Posted July 19, 2002 Supposively when you sleep your spiritual self leaves the physical body, like when you die. But there is some "Silver Cord" that keeps your spirit connected to your earthly body. When you die this Silver Cord is supposed to break. Anyway, personally I remember about 80% of my dreams, and about 30 minutes ago I had a lucid dream That's where I know I'm dreaming so I take control of things. All are nothing. For when everything is nothing and nothing is everything, truly the truth is spoken. Truth is a lie, false is real when truth is unseen while lies influence reality; always.

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2002 Report Share Posted July 20, 2002 The following lines were at the bottom of your email about lies and truth. Where did it come from....your mind or is it a quote from someone else? Sat Nam, Diane In a message dated 7/19/02 5:34:03 PM Central Daylight Time, intangible_chaos writes: > All are nothing.
