Understanding dreams for ourselves

We talk about my dreams and we talk about your dreams and we would like to know what our dreams mean. Would the dreams that we dream be unfulfilled desires, or just plain day dreams, this is one of the questions that comes to our minds.
Understanding
dreams for ourselves
Dear readers, this
post is the continuation of our last post, dreamland dreams and beliefs, where
we left telling you that it would be useful, if we were able to understand
dreams for ourselves. So, let us see what we need to do, if we want to
understand our own dreams: so, here are a few of the questions that one has to
ask oneself in order to understand dreams:
(1) Let us start
looking at the dreams that we dream.
(2) Let us ask
ourselves what sort of dreams are they.
(3) Let us ask
ourselves why we do dream such dreams.
So, what sorts of
dreams I generally dream?
Are my dreams happy
dreams, or are they sad dreams?
Do I feel secure
while I dream, or do I feel threatened?
Are there friendly
people with me, or are they hostile?
Can I move freely
in my dreams, or I have to struggle to move?
Am I alone in a
large open space, or am I in a maze wanting to find my way out?
When a dreadful
dream ends, does it end because I wake up from fear? Or does it end because I
have somehow overcome the dangerous obstacles and the dream just finishes, and
I wake up just because it is time to wake up.
So, we can keep
asking ourselves many more questions like these: But in the end we will have
only a confused idea about what our dreams could really mean.
But with any sort
of dreams, one should also assume that the degree that the dreamer feels during
the dreams; of happiness or sadness; of security or threat; of friendliness or
hostility, and whatever else one can feel, because, this could really be the
way that one feels within oneself in real life. And there are times that the
dreamer is aware of it, or becomes aware if he/she reflects about the dreams.
Therefore, these
dreams can be said to be of a psychological nature, because they deal about our
thinking and what we feel within our own mind, whether we are aware of it or
not makes no difference, because while we dream our mind reviews and tries to
find an acceptable explanation about our feelings and anything else that seems
to be our problem.
So, all these sorts
of dreams suggest that while we are sleeping our mind is not completely
resting: but it is reviewing our life and our past, so that it can adjust our
thoughts in such a way that they would make sense to our own mind, in order to
file them in its own way and be in peace with itself.
But there are some
dreams that cannot be explained with the above explanation, and they don’t seem
to belong neither to the body nor to the mind of the dreamer: But they seem to
come from an outside force, which is capable to influence our minds while we
are sleeping, perhaps our minds can really listen to messages from the cosmos
when we are sleeping, through our own sixth sense; or our subconscious mind
could really be tuning-in in a different dimension, since this is the only time
when our mind is free and therefore capable of doing this sort of thing, or
could it be our ancestors’ souls as some people believe that are trying to
communicate something to us. If you would like to know what we think about this
sort of dreaming, you need to look for an answer here-under, where we talk
about, Dreams from the other side.
Dreams from the other side
For example: Here I
want to tell you one of my dreams, that I believe
it’s going to show you exactly what we mean. I have dreamed this dream a very
long time ago, which is before any other dreams that will follow in our
writings. This dream is still kept within my mind because of its special
message that it has conveyed to me, and also because it almost has proved to me
that there is an Afterlife, and that sometimes one of the spirits of our
ancestors can really come to us in our dreams, and give us some sort of
messages to help us.
This dream of mine
is a bit strange, because it seems to be a teaching dream from an ancient spirit, who wants to
teach me how to wash dishes in a necessary and special way, so that the dishes
are as clean as they can be and free of contamination, according to the times
when this old spirit lived her life.
So when I dreamed
this dream I was old enough, perhaps in my late forties: but in my dream I was
a young lad about twelve, and there was with me this old and wise lady perhaps
in her sixties, (This difference in age between me and the old lady would be
there in the dream, only to show that I was a newcomer to the world, compared
to the old lady that must have been ancient, and that had lived her life long
before my time, as she seemed to me very wise.) Anyhow, we were at an ancient
and still existing fountain in my native town of Genzano, this fountain is
called La Cavallina, which is a fountain that I have already written about in
our writings somewhere in the town where I came from; The
town I came from, this is the link
Anyhow, in my
dream, while we were at this fountain, I had with me half a dozen dishes and
some cutlery that I had to wash, and then I had to take them back home, which
would have been the house of my grandma in the old part of the town; the old
lady that I was with was instructing me to wash the dishes only under the first
spout of the fountain, which is the most upstream spout, and to keep the dishes
and everything else only in the small bay under the first spout, because that
was the only way to have the dishes hygienically clean. So I sure followed her
instructions and washed the dishes how and where she said, but in the end
somehow a few of my dishes ended up in the second bay of the fountain, and I
was very worried, but the old lady said don’t worry: I protested to her and
said; but you said to me, that to keep the dishes hygienically clean they must
be kept only in the first bay, and now some of my dishes are in the second bay,
and they have been contaminated; what can I do? And the old wise lady replayed
to me again. Don’t worry just for this time, because when you wake up you’ll
know why it is all right just for this time.
The dream ends there,
and when I woke up I realized that it was only a dream: Therefore, if the
dishes were contaminated it didn’t really matter, just because it was only a
dream and it wasn’t real life. But the teaching of how to wash the dishes, in
case there was an outbreak of infectious disease that could infect people using
contaminated food or utensils was to be learned from this dream.
I believe that the
old lady in my dream is the spirit of one of my forbears, and she must have
lived during an epidemic of infectious disease, where she had learned that to
survive one has to wash dishes and other utensils properly under running spring
water only. So in my dream she wanted to pass her knowledge to me.
I suppose that my
dream above is enough for me to make me believe about the afterlife. And the
dream makes me believe, that it is possible while we sleep to get in touch with
our ancestors through the cosmos, or whatever there is that can get us in touch
with the souls of our ancestors. But one has to keep in mind, that one has no
power to make it happen, and it can and will only happen, if and when it
happens. It is like coming across something that we have never seen or done
before and we have no control over it, or perhaps we could say that it is like
tuning in something new, and while we were sleeping we have accidentally tuned
in somehow, perhaps this could be one of the reasons of dreaming such dreams.
Now let us take a look at this possibility of dreaming and tuning in.
Anyhow this post is
becoming too long, so we will talk about dreaming and tuning in in our next
post; see you soon.
