Dream Time

~~~~~*~~~~~

I have been interested in, and have studied dreams for many years. Dream interpretation was practiced as far back as 4000 BC. I believe they are also our teachers. Dream visions carry messages from ancestral spirits and the forces of the Universe.

There are many psychological and analytical theories regarding the types of dreams and the reasons we dream. I feel at times there is too much over-analyzing and intellectualizng. Why not just use your imagination and enjoy figuring it all out!

What I have written here are a few simple-type explanations on the symbology from my personal viewpoint.

There are many resources to learn about dreams, but the one underlying factor is always, how does a dream and the symbols pertain to the individuals personal life, or situation. How does one see or feel that it fits them, regardless of anothers thoughts.

Now for a few types of dreams:

~Lucid dreams~
This is when the dreamer can actually control the dream. You are aware that you are dreaming and can decide what to dream about. Not my favorite kind of dream...

~Ordinary dreams~
This is when our subconscious takes over at night and we dream about what we have taken in during the time we are awake. Another non-favorite. Who wants to dream about the day they've just been through?

~Telepathic or Precognitive dreams~
This is sending or receiving messages from the living, ancestors, Spirit guides, or from the Universe. Insights to our past lives, or future events may be revealed to us. Now these are my kind of dreams!

~Wish dreams~
These are pretty self explanatory. A pleasant fantasy of something one might want. Hmmm...

~Nightmare dreams~
These may be a forewarning or our own emotional disposal. Like a release system. I can't say I like or dislike these types of dreams.


Dreams are one of the keys to wisdom
