EVERYONE DREAMS
Everyone dreams. Some of us remember these mental shenanigans. Others don’t. Whether you remember or not, they still perform their magical function in our lives. I believe if you remember, record and interpret them, you are one step ahead of the pack, because you have taken an active role in your moral and emotional growth by understanding yourself better.
IT CAN BE SHEER TORTURE
Did you know that sleep deprivation is one of the easiest ways to torture a prisoner… because lack of sleep means a you can’t dream, and when you don’t dream, you can get crazy and whacko. Besides, it’s sheer torture to be sleepy and exhausted and not be able to sleep.
IT CAN RESOLVE ISSUES
So… things are bound to happen to you during the day, and you respond to these events with fear, hope, desire, anger… or whatever… and your mind reshapes these experiences into stories and images during the sleep state in an effort to resolve the issues of the day. If the human psyche didn’t have a method to neutralize, release and resolve the toxic feelings which build up inside you, these “negative” vibes can cause disease and pain to the physical body. Yep, repressed negative vibes can cause cancer and other ailments.
IT CAN HEAL YOU
We all know that our bodies are self-healing. Scratch your arm and immediately your body sends all its resources to stop the bleeding, kill the infectious bacteria, create a protective wall against infections, then slowly regenerate the tissue to rebuild your skin so it’s patched up as necessary.
The human mind does exactly the same thing with your emotions, thoughts and feelings. Your psyche, that brilliant whatever-it-is that processes these energies, recognizes what’s “bad” for your health and goes through exactly the same process to patch up your mental/emotional/spiritual core.
This is why the great icons of mental metabolism – Freud and Karl Jung, to name a few – had such strong convictions about the power of dreams. Dreams have the power to generate self-healing, self-understanding and self-guidance. Dreams can aid you in resolving the current dilemmas in your life.
HAPPY DREAMING TO YOU!
