The Mystery of Dreams...    

On the earth plane, we are students at an elementary level learning the basics of life. We have many teachers and lessons, all experiences that we can choose to grow from. On the astral plane we are also students, but at a collegiate level as we are learning the lessons of spirituality. Dreams are our homework, what we take with us to remember from lessons that we were taught during our slumber.

Dreams are bits and pieces of intricate poetry, given to us to unfold and develop from. Dreams are a universal and powerful experience, all of humanity sleeps and all humans dream, whether they remember them or not, is another story. Below are tips on how you can interpret your dreams.

Scientists, scholars and skeptics alike all agree on one thing, dreams can reveal much about a person's attitudes, concerns and anxieties. The best way to learn from your dreams is to write them down into a journal upon awakening or you can keep a tape recorder next to your bed. Once you awake, write down or dictate as much of your dreams as you can remember and add to the entry later if more comes back to mind throughout the day.

Dream Recall
The first step is jogging your memory when you awaken. This may take weeks of practice to get used to, but you can remember if you choose to. Upon awakening, allow yourself some quiet reflective moments, lie still in bed and relax. Then ask yourself, what was I just dreaming? As you focus your mind to remember, it will begin to come back to you. Some nights, you may not be able to remember any of the dreams, most times this can be attributed to being too tired from lack of proper rest, or even medications for colds, etc.

Dream Records
As soon as you awake and start to remember the dream, begin talking or writing it down. You will find that the more you think about it, talk about it, the more you will remember. Share the dream with someone if you can. Try to recall as much detail as possible, details of places and people, songs, things given to you or said specifically to you. Don't try to analyze them at first, just get them down on paper or recorder and keep going until you have as much as you can remember.

Dream Meditation
Examine your journal and look for recurring symbols, people or themes. Meditate upon your dreams and go within, ask for higher guidance to assist you in understanding these dreams. Many times you will receive the answer to your questions in dreams. Share your dreams with someone close to you, they will sometimes point out areas and details that you may have overlooked.

The Teachings of Edgar Cayce,

The Sleeping Prophet...

Q: Why am I so dependent upon sleep, and what do I do during sleep?

A: Sleep is a sense...and is that needed for the physical body to recuperate, or to draw from the mental and spiritual powers or forces that are held as ideals of the body...

Q: What happens to a body in sleep?

A: Dependent upon what it has thought, what it has set as its ideal...

There are individuals who in their sleep gain strength, power, might -- because of their thoughts, their manner of living. There are others who find that when any harm, any illness, any dejection comes to them, it is following sleep.

Sleep is the exercising of a faculty, a condition that is meant to be a part of the experience of each soul. It is as but the shadow of life, or lives, or experiences, as each day of an experience is a part of the whole that is being builded by an entity, a soul. And each night is but a period of putting away, storing up into the -uperconscious or the unconsciousness of the soul itself.

Q: What governs the experiences of the astral body while in the fourth
dimensional plane during sleep?

A: This is, as has been given, that upon which it has fed. That which it has builded; that which it seeks; that which the mental mind, the subconscious mind, the subliminal mind, seeks! Then we come to an understanding of that, 'He that would find must seek' (Luke 11:9). In the physical or material this we understand. That is a pattern of the subliminal or the spiritual self.

Q: What are dreams and visions and what is their purpose?

A: Dreams and visions...are of various classes and groups, and are the emanations from the conscious, subconscious, or superconscious, or the combination and correlation of each depending upon the individual and the personal development of the individual, and are to be used in the lives of such for the betterment of such an individual.
