The Dreamer Dreams...
-
Some people say that dreams are interior landscapes.
Imagine if your body, your entire being - was a world or a planet and you were able to journey through it and discover the features and conditions which make you unique. A dream can be a way of exploring all the different layers of yourself. Could it then be possible to explore another person's world?
We're all connected in far more ways than most of us care to think about. We have different levels of consciousness. There's our 'conscious' awareness that we use when we talk, analyse, or think. Then there's our 'subconscious' which we're less aware of. One that's concerned with feelings, images... and creative impulses. The really mysterious level is the 'unconscious' - where the deep, unknown inner processes look after our bodies, health and sanity.
Even though only the physical body is visible to the human eye, that doesn't mean that the other layers aren't there. All human beings and animals have an astral body, made up of our emotional energy. It's where our feeling souls live, explore and interact.
Some people think that when we dream, part of us does leave our physical being. We travel through dreamscapes in our astral bodies, which are meant to look and feel just as we do in real life. Apparently all of us do it, but only a few of us remember. We're supposed to stay connected to our bodies with a cord of silver light...and if that is broken - is it possible then to get lost in a dream world?
Some people are more susceptible than others. Many of us will just continue dreaming our everyday fears and anxieties... but some of us experience 'deeper dreams'. These people are meant to be able to travel the spirit realms at will.
If people have a connection with each other in this world... could it then be possible for us to meet in another realm?
In the dream world, there seems to be a different system of possibilities and options than there is in the real world. The challenges are different... and there isn't much time for the petty and inconsequential. Everything that happens in a dream feels significant whilst you're in the dream. It's almost impossible to be bored in one.. It's as though the very existence of a dream is fuelled by emotion.
Viewing it in this perspective, I never know what's real, or even what's not anymore.
That thin fine line has been seared right through...
And yet,
the bond is unbreakable.
Where do we go in our dreams?
How do we know whether this life we're in is not a dream?
