DREAMS

Q : What is the purpose of dreams and how can we learn from them?

Wonderful subject, wonderful subject. Dreams are of such immense value to you all that after today you will never brush off something as a mere dream. Dreams are of two distinct types. One dream, my son, helps you to cleanse yourself, purge yourself, to complete what remains incomplete through the day. Let us take an example. Let us assume that this young one has been shouted at by her mother. But she does not have the permission to tell her mother to keep quiet, not to shout at her. Now, my son, this child might dream at night of having shouted at her mother, of telling her mother the hurt that is within. This is important to her, my child, because if she does not complete this, this incomplete feeling would turn into a poison, and it would mar the relationship of love that exists between her and her mother. In other cases you might have someone who is good to you, very, very good to you, but for some reason you were unable to thank that person or you were unable to do something that you wished to do. Now this may come to you in the form of a dream. You will be doing two things. Completing an incomplete feeling, which is very important. Incomplete feelings lie within you and become poisons. That is why people require help from outside to pull these poisons out. So dreams help you do this; not to pull them out, but help you not to develop new poisons. In such a dream you might see yourself doing something for this person. This is your higher self, giving you help, because you have been thinking ‘I wish I could have done something for this person.’ Your higher self tells you what you could have done and when you can do that. That is one kind of dream.

There are others, which you mistake as dreams. They are not dreams. They are the soul that has gone and done things through out your time of rest which, when you awaken your soul recalls, but you recall it as a dream. Haven’t you so often had dreams when you seem to flit from one place to another, to a third to a fourth, without any kind of connection? That is because you as the soul have been flitting about all night. Why? That is because the soul has connected with the soul of another, anxious to make to contact. So if you dream of this child, and then this child, and then this child, what you have really been doing is, not in your physical form but in what you all know as astral travel, you have been meeting her and him and her. That is what you will recall as a dream and wake up and wonder what the connection was with all these three. There was none. The only link was that you, in a non-physical form, desired for whatever purpose, not the physical form, but the non-physical form of these persons. This same kind of experience is taken on to a higher level when you come to our side. My son, remember what I have said earlier. You can never come onto our side completely, but there is a certain area before you finally reach our side, which is an in-between area. This is where you meet persons who have passed on, this is where you meet your guides, councilors and friends and this is where your problems are solved because this is where you meet your higher soul. Sometimes you might dream of yourself as a very young child and you might wonder why. If this child resembles you as a child it is because you making contact with your higher self who wishes to remind you of some experience that you had as a child. If this child does not resemble you, but you are certain that you are this child, what you are looking at is a child of the past, or, my son, a child of the future. There are several reasons why you meet this child. If you meet the child of the past it is probably because you are carrying over old issues of that child which you must face now. If you are meeting the child of the future some kind of help is being to you, for reasons best known to your higher self and to your guides. That is the value of a dream. No dream is without significance, but you must be able to differentiate whether the dream was a completion of an incomplete feeling, act or thought, or was it an astral travel.

Q : Is it possible for us to differentiate between those two?

Of course, my son. It is very simple. The next time you recall a dream ask yourself that question and the very first answer that comes you will be the right one. But do not ask this question, my son; to the mind ask the question to your soul.

Q : What about bizarre dreams, or nightmares?

My son those are not bizarre dreams. Those happen when you are trying to cross over onto our side and you are stopped by earthbound spirits. Those are nightmares.

Q : Sir, is there any way you can battle these?

Yes. Every night before you sleep bind your self. Do not bind your bodies…. never while you rest, because if you do this the soul when it wishes to astral travel, will not be permitted to do so. Bind your soul.

Place your soul on your third eye. Let yourself be in a meditative mode and then say ‘My soul is on my third eye’. You might see the picture of yourself, you might see a picture of someone you do not recognize, or you might see a gray mist. Please believe that it is your soul. Now pray, whatever prayers you like, and bind your soul so that even if earthbound spirits try to trap it, the soul will always have your energy to push ahead and move on. You can prevent your nightmares, if your nightmares are due to this reason. Remember they can also be due to incomplete fear. You have experienced something through the day that scared you, hurt you, and angered you; these also come out as nightmares. Those are your mind giving forms to vicious feelings. You cannot stop those nightmares and you must not try to, because what these nightmares do is to allow you to feel these feelings completely.

There are other kinds of dreams, which are not again dreams, but a real look into the future. You might see an accident of a loved one, or a fire being caused, or a war being fought. That might be a real look into the future. Remember, my children, there is no future, there is no past, there is no present. It is all IS.

Q : So, sir, it is possible to contact our higher selves and our guides and ask for help?

Completely possible.

Q : Sir, how do you remember this when you wake up?

That, my son, is not our job. It is the job of your mind. It is your mind that makes you forget, because if your mind has to face competition that it does not need, it will fight back viciously. That is why I repeat again and again and again that your mind must be restrained. Now if you desire to train your mind and recall your dreams then make it a habit every single night without fail, to take five minutes to link with your mind and very firmly tell your mind ‘I remember all dreams, all astral travel’. Continue to say that over and over again. One day your mind will learn.

Q : When you have a dream that is completely disjointed and unintelligible, how do you figure it out?

You don’t. When the meaning is not meant to be revealed to you, you will not be able to make any sense out of it. Let it pass. That meeting which you had was not for you in physical form. It was for your soul. Your soul has had the benefit. You will not be able to recall that meeting or meetings. And so you might have flashes, which seem completely senseless. Do not try to make sense of it.

Q : Can we evolve spiritually in our dreams?
