Do you suffer from bad dreams?
When I started recording my dreams in 2010 I knew that they were showing me things I didn’t want to see or acknowledge, but I pressed on because I knew that this acknowledgement was important for me to make.
I had been making decisions at that time without being conscious of my motives, and I was being influenced in ways that went against my own best interests and those of others around me.
A bad dream can literally come from having a stomach ache from food you ate...
Pain expresses itself to you on a synesthetic level because your consciousness relates to your body in a different way when you’re asleep and your main senses are inactive.
It’s important to be able to wake up and check in with yourself to see if your dreams are expressing something somatically that you can engage with consciously, process, and respond to in an appropriate way.
Some people seek security and try to soothe themselves by saying “it’s just a dream,” which is often a way of bringing in a grounded presence to their bodies, but it can also come from a state of perplexity and disorientation with regard to the unseen, and can contain anxiety or denial about the latter.
Likewise, if you have persistent worries about things that you’re not sure how to address consciously—for example, mistrust of a loved-one or partner, or an underlying concern that your device use will lead to catastrophic cognitive degeneration...whatever it is—then you might vacillate between feeling that it’s a purely subjective concern and having an emotional basis for believing that it’s grounded in reality.
Some dreams express spiritual truths that speak to realms of your own experience that are not consciously perceived.
This doesn’t mean that what you remember when you wake up expresses the full reality of your spiritual consciousness any more than your ordinary sense-based consciousness does.
Bad dreams have things that are undesirable on a moral level, aesthetic/hygenic level and at the level of safety.
Keeping in mind that there are bad things in the world we don’t want at the same time to confuse what is true and what is good or desirable, even if having a spiritual ideal consists of acknowledging that these things belong together.
What we have conscious awareness of and preference for works according to its parameters, but we are whole human beings that are not merely sense-bound on a conscious level, and any kind of stagnancy and fear-based illusion that the soul is capable of perceiving in its environment will prompt it to redefine its domain and thereby evolve its identity.
It’s not always comfortable.
If exploitation, total lack of respect for rights and culture, violence, incognizable deception and manipulation—all of which are immediate daily consumption for many—continuously weigh down on you to the point that you experience disconnection, numbness, fight-flight, sadness and despair then it’s common to want to focus on a limited sphere of personal interest in order to create a safe nest.
The fact is a time will come when such a safe nest will also involve numerous unspoken anxieties underscoring disbelief in one’s own willingness, ability and confidence to meaningfully engage with the world.
If this rings true for you, even a little, it’s probably because your baseline desires for life are seeking a greater level of conscious embracement and you don’t want to rely on manifest negative extremes in order to remind yourself that you’re here for a reason and you’re here for real.
Be ready to feel worthy of your life, to have the courage to know and connect with yourself and others on a deeper level, to gain and utilize an ever increasing acuity of discernment in times ahead.
How consciously you live your life matters.
