Do you let dreams bother you?

Post Reply New Topic

I basically believe that whatever happens in your dreams is real, it's just happening on another plane or in another reality. (I'm a New Ager, I believe in different planes of existence and alternate realities.) For instance, I believe that when we go to sleep we all leave our bodies (unconsciously). The practice of consciously exiting your body so that you recall the experience is called astral projection and is something I hope to achieve. In any case, I believe that our dream experiences are just as real as our everyday "awake" experiences.

Typically my dreams don't bother me, in fact lately I rarely recall them. But I have had some very disturbing dreams that have haunted me for years. They didn't necessarily cause me harm, but they have been vivid enough for me to remember them, sometimes many years after I dreamt them.

Good. I cannot even pretend to argue with your beliefs. They are yours and are not on the table. However, I can and will argue any and all 'facts' and 'reasons' that you may present. Once you use 'facts' or 'reasons' to bolster your claims then I will always challenge their accuracy and validity.

Since you have said that you base your belief on some statement of what you think is 'factual' ... who is this 'Seth' and why do you believe that he/she/it is any more accurate and/or any more valid than any corporeal and science-oriented person?

Well I think a lot of my dreams are quite vivid, often though they are things that I think, though they can be things that are not acceptable. It is like some sort of testing for what could happen, often I should feel dirty for some of the things I have dreamt about but the thing is that it is like maybe I like that. It is just crazy, my intuition doesnt seem to be involved much in my dreams, just crazy stuff.

Over the past 5 years or so I seem to have had nothing but bad dreams and they affect me quite badly. some days I feel upset for the whole day after I've had a really bad one.
I think a lot of these are brought on by my health problems, I have a bad back and stomach troubles and I believe the discomfort I suffer then pervades into my dreams.

i mostly understand what my dreams supposed to mean and its not good (just think behind the image of your dream and what feeling you get in it)

I hate when I have bad dreams about something happening to my cats. I check to see they are okay.

When I have a bad dream I often force myself to wake up, but I don't know how to explain it Sometimes I dream that somebody is chasing me and I tell myself: " I can fly, it's my dream, so I can do everything I want". And I fly up, and fly away and wake up with the feeling of flying
Truly, I can't control it sometimes, and then, having waken up, I think something like: "Dream, follow the night" and repeat it three times

Like Kafka, I learn from nightmares and turn them into stories.

Some are in lots of colour and frighteningly detailed, even if there is no plot and they are fragmented pieces, as some posters have mentioned.

I like my dreams, even though some are very twisted, disturbing or frightening. They're often so interesting, that on the whole it makes up for how horrible they were at the time.

I often wonder why I dream such disturbing things though.
