It was several hours before the alarm went off, suddenly I had to bolt up to a near sitting position on bed. The room was peaceful, yet I was terrified, but couldn’t immediately reason out why. Then, after convincing myself that all’s calm and I was safe, I began to unravel a few details of what has just scared me awake. NIGHTMARES! A dream known to me most of all is the nightmares. It is one of my most valuable teaching dreams as it shows me the fear that has been blown way out of proportion or something I have suppressed which is affecting me negatively. Often I don’t remember the happy dreams, but the frightening ones will make more of an impression and will be more inclined to work them out. Umm…last night it wasn’t a nightmare though. As usual, my alarm went off and I shut it off, pulled the covers over my head and tried desperately to return to what was so abruptly interrupted. In it, I was sixteen :P
Seems like nothing is off limits in the dream state. We are open to experiencing all levels of self-esteem, all fears, frustrations, suppressed images, unknown territory, visionary insights. We will become more comfortable with all dream images when we learn to welcome them, whatever they are, as symbolic messengers of self. There is no such thing as a bad dream symbol. The most grotesque or frightening dreams have the most positive insights once they are worked out. Remember, dream images are just trying to catch your attention, so do not resist them. Seek to recognize the insight so you can move onto more joyous awareness. Forget them or recall them, ignore them or try to interpret them, dreams are part of our life and it's for our benefit that they're going to continue to be seen...
Anyways, its time for me to deal with another dream. Prolly a wierd nightmare! :|
