Dreams are not just random visions happening in your mind at night. Sure, you can be influenced to dream about you and your friend who recently went to KFC and had some sliders and Fried Chicken, as then you perhaps happen to see yourself soaring in the clouds on a golden drumstick the night after. But where are you heading on this drumstick? How do you feel? Is your mother with you? Is your father with you or your friend from KFC? Where does the drumstick land? In your garden with your dog? Or a dog you have never seen? All of these scenarios play a role within a dream. However, most importantly, what matters is your perception of the people or beings you meet as the dream progresses. How does it make you feel?
This is where the key lies within the reality of the dream. Like when we run away from something scary that we don’t dare to turn around and confront. This often represents a truth we are running away from in our awake life, which urges us to meet and see it, before it sees us in ways we don’t want, as it may manifest into a bodily symptom that is quite unpleasant later in life. Most likely, we are already escaping this truth through ex. smoking or drinking. A truth that asks us to look at it, and if it continues to go unnoticed, it will try to speak in louder ways through the body you don’t want or through your dreams. However, our general perception of our body and mind is that they are not connected like that.
We live in a fragmented and convenient society where we know which football teams compete against each other, but we have no idea about what our body is or who we are. Most people are not curious about it until something serious happens, and we are not taught or know how our subconscious works, and ultimately what consciousness is.
Treasures in the dark
There are many definitions about consciousness, and what it is, but one thing is for certain: one thing we are aware of, the other we are unaware of until we become aware of it. There are important messages and lessons to be found about our life and emotional journey in our dreams, as they are biological and communicational devices that try to reach our conscious mind with messages about how we truthfully experience specific situations we are exposed to. Equally, dreams are also a psychic gateway for some individuals. It’s a place where time and existence don’t exist. It can be a place where we can: go back into the past and resolve something. It can be a gateway into the future, where we can predict a certain outcome that will happen in the next few days or years. It can be a gateway for deceased loved ones (pets included) who comes to us in our dreams and tell us things that can give us a sense of relief and wonder. This is the world of the subconscious and the body. The “beings” that try to communicate and yet, it can be quite difficult to understand in a rationalized verbal world, which centers its life about what can be seen and measured, rather than felt and perceived with messages that are the closest thing to truth we will ever experience.
The subconscious is what keeps everything alive through its intelligence. It’s what understands nature, energy, and the world in ways that the rational world cannot fathom and comprehend within the limitations modern belief has. A magic book about this will be released in the future by me. I almost see it as the bible for how we can better learn to understand animals, plants and the role of the subconscious, which is a really dark, primitive and mystical place. Yet, it’s also the place of creation. Birth. Death and transformation. The ever-connected, communicating network of the universe and life. It’s the place where the life-force can be sensed and felt. It’s the place where time doesn’t exist. There is no beginning and no end. It’s where the wounds of your great ancestors lie. The place where your future child in 20 years is already present, despite you not knowing it at the age of 10. It’s the place that attracts everything in your life and shows you everything that is true about it. The closest thing in life that can tell us about this subconscious world is the symptoms of our body and our dreams. These two unpredictable aware “beings,” where the subconscious keeps the processes of your body running at all times without you thinking about it, and where your truth will be shown through your body when you try to lie. It’s the world of fungus and mycelium. The first communicational system the world had before any verbal words were created. It’s ancient, all-encompassing and telepathic.
It’s about you
Within this world mirrored through our dreams, we are being shown how we feel, what we are suppressing and denying, and maybe what step to take next, or maybe an amazing idea can hit you in the middle of the night like a miracle. Sometimes that happens to me.
This post is made to make you more serious about your dreams and what they tell you, as they are the best navigational device for your life and where you are heading. Then you might think: How in the world am I going to interpret something so utterly bizarre? I don’t even know where to start or where to begin. For a guiding reference, so you can better navigate your dreams, let me give you a few tips to go for:
- Every person, animal, or being in your dream is a representation of you and how you truthfully feel about a certain situation. Let’s say you have a friend who always appears to be a free spirit in your dream. This might tell you that you are currently doing something to liberate yourself from the circumstances you are going through, and there is a sense of victory in the way you are handling the situation.
- Let the emotions you feel in your dream be your dominant guide for the meaning behind your dream. Let us say you are at an event that was supposed to make you happy, but all you feel is confusion and a sense of dread. That means the environment or people you are currently around are not making you feel safe, and there is a need to set boundaries.
- Animals in dreams do have meaning, but don’t attach yourself too much to the spectacle, but rather to what you feel and sense within the dream. Let us say you have a fear of spiders or dogs, then these animals will usually represent something unpleasant in your dream, and when the fear gets resolved, maybe through therapy or as you age, the animals gets a more neutral role within your dreams.
As you can see, it’s a lot about emotion, as these are the strongest navigational devices we have to tell us if we should stay, move, or transform something in our life where truth tries to communicate in the best way it can. This is where we get a step closer to living a more honest and fulfilling life, as this is the only way we can heal and be satisfied with the way we have lived.
