We can spend up to a half of our life sleeping and a third of that dreaming…..What could you,would you decide to do with that time?
The veil between our dreaming and sleeping realities is a thin one,the boundary between the two easily crossed.Sometimes these crossings are made consciously with intention, and for those of you who have the skills to do so you may recognise some of the following.For those of you yet to learn these skills (and they are skills)of passing from one reality to another and consciously creating multiple environments in which to learn,develop, play and evolve, I envy your first steps into new realms.
(Travellers in these realms are called Oneironauts)
Science has shown, over the past 20 years or so, what artists (generalised term),mystics,teachers and every child knows at heart.1:That we all dream(we might not remember them!).2:That dreams have a real effect on our awakened state (whatever that is)just as our awakened states effect our dreams.3:That we can become conscious whilst dreaming and in doing so explore new worlds,worlds that exist with a minimal of interference from the world we believe we are consciously taking part in.4:That we can learn to cross the veil at will with intention.
These alternative realities can also unfortunately be a source of anxiety and fear to those who on awakening remember parts of their dreams and the feelings or responses to those dreams and consciously apply them in such a way as to cause concern, which can seep into the normal waking day.(nightmares being an example).Thus man has a history of using dreams to assist not only in understanding but in healing .
Understanding how to travel between waking and dreaming states (and what to do on the other side)offers the individual the development of a set of skills which might be used to enhance theirs and others lives,and with the correct practise will make use of periods of time where we might normally be otherwise engaged in lying still for hours at the whims of the bits and pieces of which we think we are made.
So what might you accomplish while you dream.
How about practising new behaviours,conversations with prospective employers,sports skills,creating new products or ideas,preparing for presentations,activating unconscious learning,meeting with a celebrity or flying around the room,or maybe coaching yourself …….
The veil between dreaming and awakening is thin and lives at Perceptions Edge……..and who is to say when you are awake or dreaming…..about being awake. 🙂
The next programme is less than a week away.
