Guest guest Posted July 28, 2005 Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 What are dreams? I would agree with Awtar's saying that it is an extension of reality. In summary, if something happened during the day that I had trouble understanding or believing, often times I would have a strange dream and if I took the time to analyze it, I would realize that in a round-about way it had something to do with something that happened earlier in the day that I didn't quite understand the meaning of and when I reviewed the dream I could understand the meaning of what took place earlier in the day and accept the feelings. I think some dreams are created by the subconscious mind and brought forth in a dream to allow us to know our truth or reinforce it. I think our dreams allow us to experience our feelings and acknowledge them. For example, I had the following two dreams the same night. I was driving in my car in a parking lot and I saw a space that I was going to pull into and before I could, this other person in a car, pulled right in front of me and took the space. The latter dream, I was shopping and my purse was in my cart and someone took it right out of my cart in front of me. Often times we remember our dreams because we wake up afterwards. The feelings were so intense that they woke me up. I had feelings of shock, sadness, anger, denial...and finally acceptance. I couldn't believe that someone would do this let alone right in my presence. These dreams reinforced an incident from childhood. I had to look at the bigger meaning of all this: People can take things away from you, very important things, but they can never take your spirit. It cannot be destroyed. I'm 42 yrs old now and about twenty years ago I had a dream that seemed strange and shocking to me. Later it came true. It really happened in real life. The following is not a dream. I was conscious: At the age of 17, I was with my first boyfriend in a car driving by an area of houses that all looked very similar. An overwhelming sense came over me, an "all knowing experience". I knew that I was going to live in one of those houses. I questioned this after it happened. At this time, I wouldn't have been able to afford to live on my own. And I knew my taste, if I could afford a home, it wouldn't be one of those houses. Ironically, coincidently, five years later I was dating someone different and he picked one of those houses for us to rent and sure enough I lived in one of those houses. Strangely enough both the dream & the premonition involved this same man. He was physically abusive and I came close to death twice. I finally gathered up my courage and my wits and left him after two years. They say, "train up a child in the way that he should go and he won't depart from it". I am so proud of myself for departing from this part of my life that I knew. I believe the above has to do with my sixth sense or 3rd eye. I have not had many experiences with my sixth sense ever since. I would almost welcome it back in my life. I would like to seek more knowledge about developing our sixth sense and would be curious to hear from others that also have this gift and what they do with it and if they did anything in particular to bring it out of dormancy. I understand some people are intuitive healers or can assist with missing people. I don't know why I had it and it seemed to come from no-where and why it's appears to have been dormant for a long time now. If you want to e-mail me personally to share your story or offer suggestions, you may do so. Thank you. Sat Nam, Brenda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 28, 2005 Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 Sat Nam Brenda My name is Teresa. In my experience the 6th sense comes and goes as it will. I had a dream 1 week before the 1994 earthquake here in California. I even dreamed the pattern. I was in las Vegas when I had the dream. When I returned home, I called my family to expect the earthquake and the night before it happened I called again to be sure they had supplies etc. The quake occurred as I dreamed the pattern that a.m., I believe around 4:23 a.m.(about the same time as I had the dream the week before). Also have had flashes where I believed a family member needing me 3000 miles away and it was true. I cannot explain it. I am an Advanced Practice Nurse and have had many intuitive flashes as to diseases a patient had the minute I walked into the examining room. Somehow we tune in to these flashes. I hope not to tune into any more tragedies but I never know. Sometimes there are good things. No flashes in a while. Need to practice more meditation to tune in again. I am new at Kundalini so have much to do. Good Luck and tune into the peacefulness which is sometimes hard to do in this hectic world.

Guest guest Posted August 10, 2005 Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 On another note about dreams... Alot of us spend our nights processing our days. Ideally, if we processed within the moment, rather than holding on and doing it at a later date (while we sleep), it's said that we would need no more then 4 hours of sleep each night. That's why meditation is great before sleeping at night, to get some of the processing done, so you don't have to do it in your sleep. My teacher has told us that for the most part, everyone we encounter in our dreams are aspects of ourselves.....but he says every once and a while we do interact with people on the subtle realm. But once we develope enough awareness to be conscious within our dreams (as in lucid dreaming) then we have the opportunity to begin burning karma in our dreams, as well as when we are awake, because through that lucid state we are free to make choices within our dreams, just like in life.
