A dark road to enlightenment

[WalkerInTheWoods]

Though you may not consciously remember your dreams, I believe your subconscious still retains what it learns while you sleep. So you may think that this process is blocked off to you but really it is not. You just do not consciously have this knowledge, but maybe if you meditate your subcon may show you what it knows.

Hi David
  I have had this happen to me at times. It always indicated something happening that I didn't want to see. The inner me remembered it and let me know that I had seen it before.
  The other times have been when I received part of the message but not all of it. I wasn't exactly on the correct path. A lot of my life has been learning and when I am not doing down the path in the right direction I now know what to look for to correct it.
  I always have things blanked out. I feel like I am in one of those hamster wheels running in place but getting no where. I feel like my life has been put on hold. I am waiting for the next thing to occur to get me back upon the path.
  I suggest meditation with a lit candle that will help you move forward in your thoughts and communicating with your inner self.
  I always add in "alright I missed the message would you please repeat it when I don't get a result.

In some of the dreams that I have been having recently I keep getting the feeling that I have been in those locations or had those dreams before.  There is a kind of strange familiar feeling to them.  I don't know what it is exactly but it kinda like a dream Deja Vou.

Odd indeed.

I have dreams like that sometimes where it feels like I know the place. When I was younger (I don't know exactly now maybe early teens) I had several dreams over a long period about this town that I had not been to on the physical. Sometime I would be in the same area of this town in different dreams and other times I would go to other parts of it, yet I still knew that I was in the same town. It was kind of weird. I do not recall this town very well, if hardly at all, now but at the time of these dreams I could probably tell you how to get around in it. It is odd, but I find it somewhat comforting being in a place that is familar to me.

When I was about 19 or 20 years old I kept a dream journal.  I stopped keeping it after a relatively short period of time because I did not want to take the time, every day or two, to write down 9, 10, or 11 dreams, some of which could take a lot of ink to adequately record.  A few decades later, I started taking down dreams again, but they seem to elude me, in comparison to long ago, and over and over again I dream about work at the end of my sleep, (and it's the only dream I remember.)  This gets old.  As does the job.  Not long ago I started having long dreams again, but then they stopped, and I suspect I shut it off from myself because of the time it takes, if you can believe that.  What about you?  Is there some semi-conscious, (or deeper), reason that you know of that you might keep things behind the veil from yourself?  Any fears?  Or maybe you like to play hide & seek with yourself?  You wouldn't be averse to spending extra time on a dozen, possibly  weighty & lengthy  dreams every day or so, yes, no?

I will agree at times keeping a written record of activity is annoying but I try to do it any how.  However now adays I tend to only write down the ones I think I will forget.  Those often being the ones that turn up confusing.  I also write down the ones with high emotional impact because they often feel more important and I want to be able to recall what I was feeling at the time.  But since I dream so infrequently I do not find it all that difficult to remember my dreams.  The only time I don't remember them is when I just wake up with the feeling of dreams but no memory of the event.  

I only wish I could remember haveing a dozen or so dreams in one night.  The big problem I have is that I go to sleep and the just wake up.  Several hours have passed but it only feels like five minutes and my mind is totally blank.  There is simply nothing, no memory, no emotional over lap, nothing.

I don't dream of work, at least I don't remember them http://www.astralpulse.com/forums/images/icon_Smile.gif" border=0>.  I have only done it a couple of times but at that point I was highly stressed out and I knew it.  As far as anything else that is preventing me from remembering I don't know.  To me it does not feel as if I should be hideing or protecting myself from anything.  No major worries or fears that I can think of.

Just a thought: We remember all yet we don't recall all.

If your worry is not recalling dreams rest assured your subsoncsious is still learning from them. Maybe you aren't supposed to recall it consciously yet.
A bit of castanedaesque way of learning there?

My hypnotherapist put forth an interesting observation today.  All of my problems with dreaming and remembering them seemed to start shortly after I begain my search for truth.  This has got me thinking about a great many things.  We as humans learn on a 24 hour basis.  That statement is back by many in the scientific and spiritual worlds.  We spend our waking hours absorbing information and our sleeping hours sorting it all out into managable piles.  Our dreams help us to realize who we are, what we are doing, how we feel, what we believe, and help us to understand what we learn beyond the facts and statistics.
    So what happens when a persons time is cut in half?  When they are not allowed the time for realization and understanding?  Does that make them unable to learn as much?  Or does it just make the work harder because of time restraints?  For true growth one must be able to see all the sides of the story.  All the data must be present and the wisdom gleaned from it.
    What is one to do when all the data is present but they are lost in the dark and seemimgly unable to bring enough light to the situation to learn from it?  That seems to have been my problem since I started this path, and as an odd twist of fate I was even unable to see that.  Even so, surrounded in darkness, the path is still clear.  The instinct to drudge on is there.

Clouded in mist, walking, and moving only by feeling.  Does this make the journey of any greater importance?
