Holy Reality,
Since you covered well your overall ideas and questions, I think it would be easier to answer you with my own summary of ideas.I left out some of the specifics of what you say due to the length of this. You pinpoint some very basic things which I also have wondered about also, and interesting enough, in my conscious state (it seems to match your lucid state).

Reality may be what each individual makes their own?I tend to favor the ever growing ideas about simutaneous lives. Simutaneous lives and the abstract of dreams are similar to me. I believe what I experienced in my earlier life is explained in my later life. But too, I've been observing life for most my life. If a person begins to look at all this later in life, the frame of reference may be different. Just another mystery to wait to unravel. I don't believe our consciousness unravels it, I believe the subconscious (as an aspect/face, or part of many) does it. And not to mention all the points of all the other aspects or faces one can put in it all. That's why at the present I prefer not to be thinking generally about any possible outside or unknow influence (can't help not,though[]). These bridge connections will be made in due time. So many names and preconceived notions may add to an already difficult puzzle to solve.

I'm presently quite ignorant about the obe experience, but that's okay. If I included this in what I'm trying to figure right now, I'd have the fear to deal with. I can't deal with such a thing right now. Everyone has fear of some kind. More power to those who choose this path.My personal fear is invisible, probably the same fear, just packaged differently.

Although there is a spirit body in the obe, I don't deal with my spirit body the same way. My spirit body is invisible. I'm trying to figure how the body is connected to the mind.Invisible mind and invisible body(many aspects). How do these two things work together? And maybe to ask why, while at it too. What are the functions of the two separate parts. So far I believe the mind has the ability to connect with higher sources (again, for who or what that may be can't be discerned right now). The body part(including other aspects unknown for now). I have to wonder, is this invisible factor of mine,the same factual part to one who understands obe? Maybe. In the meantime I stick to my simple path to be able learn what is what.

My reality is what I see in daily living. If my dreams, my learning, my ideas don't fit or is not expressed in physical reality, I'm either not ready for that step, or, I'm going the wrong path. There never really is a wrong path if I keep my eyes on my road. It hasn't failed me yet. Reality living is much of the journey. The twists and turns of truths I've become to see as standard universal laws never fail. This kind of path I can see. I very good at making the right moves in reality. Whether these moves makes sense to the other person doesn't matter. This path is as lonely as it is talked about. Do these negative beings mean, bad company is better than no company to you?  It's not for one faint of heart, although my physical self has had to stand the test many times.I have accomplished much regarding fear of the unknown and death. Maybe this is what it's all about. And maybe the things I've learned will pay off later, for sure these things pay off now.Try dumping the bad stuff, and it's REAL interesting what you have left. And more than you think, or should I say feel. It's about thinking vs feeling oftentimes.That's where my road has taken me so far.  

Most people in my opinion, do not really want to know what there is to know. To me, many obers get past a lot of these fear barriors. It seems that you face the unknown in a different way. You ask the same questions I do.

VOODOO,
Sorry to hear about your grandpa dieing. It does sound like he was making an announcement to you in your dream. This is so intriguing.I've read in at least two dream books about this sort of thing happening.

I'll ponder your dream more and get back to you. Did you happen to read a post somewhere by Nay with her zombie dream? Your dream sounds very familiar. Maybe she will say more on the subject. I'll try to re-locate her post, it's very interesting.

holy reality,
Are you asking me this?

quote:do you mean telepathic as in you aren't speaking with your voice? or as in you can share and download memories, etc?

No voice, just exchanging with each other. I've never thought about it in terms of "downloaded" or memories. It's happening in the now in my dreams.

quote:I notice if i really pay attention that I usually can't "hear" my "voice" while dreaming... like I can't even make a sound sometimes, but yet I can talk with the voice in my head to people.

This is telepathic communication.

quote:So this isn't always the case... sometimes I can sing really really well in my dreams, but I guess since you are paralyzed while sleeping sometimes your brain has difficulties with making you talk or yell in dream, so that's why you end up speaking to people through your mind.

There very well could be the reason. I hadn't thought of that.

It's difficult to remember every detail of a particular dream.But if your aware of the possibilty of let's say, your communicating telepathically, you may notice more details of when your hearing, when your speaking, and whether or not you are indeed using telepathy, and when.

The most obvious telepathy is with higher spirits. For me anyway,it is definitely one on one telepathic exchange. It's less obvious in day to day dreaming.

Did I answer your question?

Congrats on a great dream, SmileySpirit!!!!

Maybe some dreams aren't meant to be interpreted, only enjoyed.Sounds like a great party! []

holy reality,

quote:If you've read all this, congratulations, lol.....

Oh yes, I have read it all. It's this kind of in depth observation that makes for trying to figure things out about dreams more hopeful.Thanks for the time and effort you put into this. I am going to look it over carefully before I say anything about it.

I try to pick up on all these small details too with my dreams.

Antranik,
Thanks for the cat info. I have heard of those things happening with cats. I hadn't thought about an aura as a possible route for encounters. It sure is something to think about.

The uniformity of the lighting of an object is also an important factor, I had forgotten that. I don't work at auras very much. I don't know if it's just me, but it seems to take some amount of energy to do it. It's well worth it though, if one is so inclined and interested. If I had more time and energy I would do it more.

Oh, an interesting aura experience I had last time I did it to myself (looking in a mirror).I saw a lot of falling white flakes flowing downward on me(usually the energy moves upward).These particles even obscured my face (never had the aura get in front of me). The even weirder part to this was that these particles had a burning feel. A very strange thing, and quite different from my other times looking at my own aura. I have had vibrational changes happen while looking at other people's auras. This is something more I want to seek out with future aura readings.

I forgot to mention another appearance of aura, sparkles. These are some interesting things to see too.

Don't get discouraged, Gwathren, it could be the energy factor I mentioned at the beginning of this post. Don't be in any hurry about it. Just do it when you feel like it, keep the fun in it. []

Nicely said, Haematite! [] Soulmate is a good name for it. All or none, a good way to put it.

quote: whisp im just wondering, dont take offense at this, but are you a lesbian?

pyro,
Oh my no. Oops, I didn't mean to make that impression.

If my attitude about men are similiar to a lesbian, then there is a sexuality aspect that divides us. I am heterosexual but find men a little overbearing sometimes,anger issues most likely. Too many better things to do than struggle with what is nonsense or power plays.Women do it too, I don't play that game either. I find women manipulate, whereas men get angry. I don't like either!

At the risk of sounding lesbian again, I do appreciate men that express, or at least recognize their female side. Not in the boohhoohoo way (though a good cry is good for anyone every once in a while).And not in the emotional wreck sense, but one who is sensitive toward where the other person is coming from. This very thing is something I have to work on myself. I have a tendency to not appreciate the sensitivity of others, mainly because it can, and is often used for manipulation of others. I guess that's part of the male aspect I express/recognize in myself.

Men are good at fixing things mechanical, I like that a lot. That doesn't mean I'm sexually attracted to them.However, it would be a great asset to have in a relationship. I can fix things myself to an extent, but I have other things to think about and do.A lot of times it seems men enjoy fixing things, it's a burden to me. And yes, there is a sense of accomplishment, but I get so tired of life's lessons sometimes.I just want to take the easy way sometimes.

What Gawathren is saying is very simple.The accepted concept of marriage is set.To allow a different set of standards will cause the purpose and function of the traditional marriage concept or idea to be muddled or weakened.

Another name other than marriage can and may be given to gay couples.Why is there such a demand for the name "marriage"? Legal purposes, of course.

There's a lot of names,words,and phrases out there for coupling or partnerships. Is this a challenge or attempt to destroy? It sure is beginning to appear that way! I hadn't realized it until reading this thread.

Political correctness shortcuts at the expense of the majority is a cheap trick! Why can't gay couples do it like everyone else in the political and legal arenas, or are they exempt from having to take the same routes everyone else has to (no pun intended)? It's an easy path to attach oneself to the concept of marriage. In this situation I highly suspect inheritance rights and other such things. It sounds like money gain,and legal and political maneuvering is behind all this. If so, it's bound to fail (universal law and all).

Special interest groups are getting better and better at what they do. Short term effects may look innocent enough, but the long term effects will leave a mark.

Gawathren, correct me if I didn't represent your point correctly, I've only read a few of these posts.

I look for him to be over there, and me over here.It works best that way. []

The lesser the better. The more separated the better...or...call it independent living.

If one would happen to interest me? Good question, I'd have to think on that one.

Hi whitestorm,
What you describe may be what many would call a past life dream. There is a lot of information out there if you can find it.

Houses are a common dream symbol as well. There is a lot written on this subject as well. It is such a wide subject it's difficult to get into it without doing an injustice to it's importance and all it may mean. The way a person interprets the different rooms such as an attic also has many possibilities.

Interpeting a dream is different with past life dreams. And I'm no expert on past life information. I barely know much about dreams, but I'm learning.

The house changes you mention is an interesting mystery. Maybe once you can figure out more, the changing house and the reason for it can become more clear.

The house is connected to the soul in my opinion. I study a little on that in everyday life. This is also a very deep study, and hard to explain easily. I'm not sure if this is what your talking about anyway. You may be talking more of past like things.Sometimes it just takes a while to figure and sort some things out.

The word your probably looking for is hypnosis. There are a lot of people on the forum who has talked on this subject. Past life regression is a little more specialized I imagine, but maybe someone here can answer some of your questions. There's a search section in the forum if you want to look up some of these subjects.

I hope this helps.[]

Gwathren,

quote:And now by the way I have a new question: Do for example cats notice that someone is seeing their auras?

Sorry, I don't know, I guess it is quite possible. Maybe someone else can answer this?

Auras can appear in many ways, light,smoke, dots, gas, flowing water,steam, movement streaming (often upward).Good point made, krmason!

The subject of color comes up a lot. Many people want to know colors in their aura. I've never gotten too much from seeing colors. There is a link somewhere that is interesting on the subject if anyone is interested(Robert Bruce information).For me, I look for symbols in auras, color isn't a factor to do this.

Mystic Cloud,
Thanks for the young plant advice. I hadn't thought of that![]By direct sunlight, do you mean sunshine or direct lighting?

whitestorm,
If you like to read, a good book on this subject is "Celestial Prophesy" by James Redfield (sp?). It's a fictional story that presents auras and energy exchanges between and among people very well. I heard he originally wrote on the subject as factual, but people didn't get the concept. Since writing it in story form, his readership increased tremendously. He has other books out too.

The crowds you mention is a common distraction. Many people avoid crowds because it plays on their nerves. It is also commonly known that a lot of general noice makes it more difficult for the hearing impaired, there is a roaring effect that can block out hearing one thing in particular.You don't necessarily have to be hearing impaired for this to be a problem if the sounds are intense enough.If your sister can hear fine usually, she may be experiencing what most people would in such a circumstance.

I don't understand what goes on with an empath very much.I'm trying to gradually understand more about that sort of thing.

I also know very little about the practice of telepathy.I do know a good example has been explained this way.If you make a phone call and that person was thinking about you, you were sending thoughts. If the phone rings and you know who it is before answering it, your receiving thoughts.

I don't know if this was what info you or your sister is looking for. If it's not, just mention it. []

Gwathren,
Radio, I've picked up on talk shows and music before falling asleep.Never been on a station before.[]

Smooth,
Okay, since I know that much more, I'll look closer at the details of your dreams.Could the scenerio of seeing yourself on tv have to do with your body double seeing you, or perhaps contacting you? Your getting into communication with another part of your multidimensional self? Just a thought.[]

holy reality,
These all are very interesting dream observations. Some things limit me, not aware I'm dreaming (therefore not able to take control),and remembering the dream. I journal dreams, and remember the best I can.

You of course, describe dream control, and I guess your memeory of dreams are better? How often do you remember these things?

It's obvious to me you are using telepathy in your experiences.In my dreams, all the characters cooperatively communicate telepathically. Sometimes word are spoken, but it wouldn't matter because the communication is there anyway.

I don't have confrontational dreams, so this isn't something I can say too much about.

I journal and try to reflect on recent waking experiences.Sometimes I can pick up subtle little clues or feel for what prompted(?) the dream.You say in this quote, I don't experience this at all,but it is interesting.

quote:you might not notice it at the time, but you might wake up and realize that you were thinking about certain things during that moment that influenced the dreams course of events, etc.

TheAlphaOmega states:

quote: So when you ask if you can control what people say to you in your dreams, the reality is that they don't have a mind of their own mind to begin with.

Actually, I believe they do have a mind of their own.Although it may be you, it is another aspect of yourself with potential.

SmileySpirit states:

quote: i posted in another topic that angels and astral doubles and such things that DO exist can visit your dreams. maybe the so called 'demons' of yours are not demons but someone visiting your dream which is why you cant control them.

I'm not knowledgable (yet[]) about the particulars of angels (though I believe)and of astral doubles (I also believe something to understand more).
I am sure that there are other beings who place themselves in dreams.  

Hi Whitestorm,
Well, for what it's worth, all my dreams are telepathic.Some dreams are more obviously so than others.Speaking and hearing is the illusion often in my dreams. It's hard to explain.

Care to tell of your experience, or what you know?[]

Gwathren,
Have you tried looking at a candle flame (at a safe distance[])?

The aura of a candle looks like any other aura.

Sometimes you may see it best for the first time with a dark background, then later you can see it in a lighter background.It can be just the opposite, so try with various backgrounds until you begin to see it. It doesn't require direct vision.Some say focus as if your looking through something, instead of directly at it.

Some people pick up auras of objects before learning to see a person's. Try animals, people, trees, etc.

With seeing the aura of people, be careful your not being self conscious of them looking at you. A crowded room where no one is paying attention to you is a good place to start sometimes.

Hope this helps, and hope I didn't repeat info you already know. []

Smooth,
Those are some tough things to figure out. Your describing two dreams, and they both take place inside a t.v?

A t.v. in a dream can mean many things. I have never had a dream of being inside one. Could it have anything to do with you feeling "on display" or putting on a performance. Could it have anything to do with your internetting experience? T.v. can mean image, picture, view, receiving something.

I've had a couple of dreams I can think of off hand, with a t.v.in it. Without having to thumb through my journal, it seems there was a staircase nearby each time the t.v. was there. I never could make out what was on the tube.

Hi Leyla,
Your quotes:

quote:The original title of my post was an "attention getter" designed to get people to read it.

However the plan backfired when literally NO ONE bothered to read the post before they replied to it.

Okay, you begin by manipulating to get people to read your post.

quote:I've decided to have a baby (not wondering whether or not I should)- and wondered if anyone out there had any spiritual or psychic advice/guidance for me.

You have critized those who have posted a reply to you.So, you have decided to have a baby. What kind of spiritual or psychic advice/guidance are you wanting to see? Is it validation of some kind your looking for?

quote:If you're one of these bitter parents who's sorry you ever had kids, please do not reply.

Why not?

quote:I thought I made myself clear I was asking for "advice" and wondered if anyone could get a message for me.

What kind of message do you have in mind? Your statement sounds a bit hostile and intolerant. Patience is a virtue in parenthood.

quote:I must say I am shocked at the open hostility I am recieving, with such a delicate matter of asking advice about bringing a child into the world.

It seems to me your the only one showing hostilty.

quote:"How long will it take me to get pregnante?"
or "Will it be a Boy or a Girl?"

Maybe right away, maybe a long time, or maybe somewhere in between.[] Could be never. There's no guarantees you were destined for parenthood.

50/50 chance on it being a boy or girl.[] Just messin with ya. Through modern medical techniques the sex of the unborn can be discovered pretty early in pregnancy. There is also some research on various techniques that may help you obtain the sex of preference. I don't keep up on that subject, so that's all I can tell you. An interesting thing I've heard (don't know if it's true) is that the younger the man is, the better chance of producing a boy.

quote:I have been loading up on parenting books, and running around for any good advise I can find: spiritual, psychic, and otherwise- Because that's what a good mother does!

That's great you want to be a good mother. In some circles it is the thought that we pick our parents. If this is true, I picked a good one. There are some gliches in that plan though. Are you up on yin yang principles? Be prepared for the effects of the most carefully layed plans.

quote:I have to say that I don't believe it when people here make bold claims tht they *never consulted with anyone* on an event so important as the birth of their own child. Seems a little reckless.
You mean to say you never talked the idea over with friends, relatives, or your own parents? You didn't buy a child-rearing book or two to see what you were up against? Not to mention a visit to your local astrologer to see when a good time for a conception/birth might be? I'm having it all done: lexigrams, numerology, you name it. If anything I want to be over-prepared

Nope, never consulted anyone about my preganancy(s) except the obstetrician. I followed every week of fetal development as it was occuring through reading about it. A very exciting time. I did the same when the child was born, week by week, month by month by reading about it.Another exciting time.
Personally, I would have never planned a pregnancy.I take the cards dealt me (nature take it's course). I'm grateful for my children, but I couldn't see planning them!

Hysterix's message:

quote:For the love of god, never, ever procreate.

I smile at this,it is so true, for me anyway. Good advice hysterix, too late for me. ...I'm kidding (a little) []

quote:I am sad every time I hear parents who resent the time and money spent on their children. Perhaps you should have waited until you were more financially stable.

I have a feeling you don't know the whole story. Your being very judgmental for someone without children.
Are you independently financially stable? It doesn't matter if the other person is or not. It will matter if there is a custody issue in your future.

quote:It sounds like you should have talked to a few people before you had a child, read a book or two, and really gave it serious thought before you decided to make the big leap into motherhood, because it doesn't sound like you're very happy with your decision.

Who are you saying this to?

quote:The "leaping blindly forward" approach is popular, but I haven't seen it produce good results. Therefore I am trying to be more responsible

Again, you are quick to judge. It will be interesting to see the results you produce. Good luck on that! []

quote:Otherwise, please try to consider it an investment. There's a lot of people who would gladly take an unwanted child off your hands!

Who knows, maybe that will be just the one you get. Again, good luck!

The idea of children being an investment to you scares me a bit. Whoa! I guess you better raise he/she/them right then!

An added thought, have you ever considered the different theories about children?
Children are the parent's teachers.
Children pick their parents.

One thing I've discovered about my children. Their a chip off the old block, including all my siblings. Ohhh....fun!

Mistic-Idan,
Did you forget to place your statement?

This is what I've heard too.

Isr,
Maybe your working toward some kind of dream control? What does a magnetic field look like?

Smooth,
I'm no expert in Tk, but if I happen to be around a helium balloon, Ill give it a try. I've heard of people being able to move other things (like clouds), as well as weather control. Have you heard of this yet?

Yes, goodpoint made, Jon.There is an interesting subject LogoRat is talking about in another section. If I run across it again, I'll post the link.

Also, there is a thing called cellular memory, I haven't read much about it, but it's an interesting subject to consider.

The way I pick up on it, people have discovered their past lives through these kinds of dreams. This and cellular memory (if I'm calling it by the right name?)has not been my experience, so little can I say about it.

Jon,
That's an interesting experience.I believe that you can be more than one place at a time. This is an different kind of view. Something to think about.

Smooth, it seems that talking about dreams also increases your dreaming experience. I find this true for me.This is why journally dreams help.Your talking to your subconscious by writing it down. It seems your other aspect is now talking back to you. This is a good sign. Congrats![]

In a dream, an underwater animal had been confiscated by another group. While trying to figure out what caused this to happen,I became the film to capture it. Filmed in real time was a young man who had taken the water route to where he was going. He was connected with the sea animal. He didn't know the animal was trying to follow him. The film showed him coming from the water and running toward a building, his dog ran beside him. The people were in a buzz that this had inadvertently had happened,including me.

krmason,
Unfocused is actually the way to see auras. It sounds like your are seeing auras. A common way to learn to see, look at the aura of a candle flame. Gaze at the area surrounding the flame. There are fine particles, or a misty energy. This is similiar to what auras look like. There's a flowing like energy. Hope this helps. []
