Dear All, I am a noob on the Path.. starting to go on a regime of deep meditation..
Someone advised me that I have to overcome the Dream Censor if I am going to have any success on the spiritual path..
Can anyone tell me what is the easiest fastest way by which I can overcome the Dream Censor?
I humbly beg the more experienced seekers in here to teach me. Thank you.
In Freud's original formulation the latent dream-thought was described as having been subject to an intra-psychic force referred to as "the censor"; in the more refined terminology of his later years, however, discussion was in terms of the super-ego and "the work of the ego's forces of defense." In waking life, he asserted, these so-called "resistances" altogether prevented the repressed wishes of the unconscious from entering consciousness; and though these wishes were to some extent able to emerge during the lowered state of sleep, the resistances were still strong enough to produce "a veil of disguise" sufficient to hide their true nature. Freud's view was that dreams are compromises which ensure that sleep is not interrupted: as "a disguised fulfilment of repressed wishes," they succeed in representing wishes as fulfilled which might otherwise disturb and waken the dreamer.
Hi and welcome to the Pulse.
Freud, from your post reads as a way for unresolved desires to be satisfied to keep your mental stability in equilibrium. Clever guy Freud.
Your spiritual development, what is it you desire to develop? Theres so much in this field, on the pulse we try to answer questions to all related as well as astral projection.
Maybe not the "dream censor" which is hindering you but the fact that you make certain 'teachings', theories or hypotheses a kind of dogma that acts as a block to your development (just making guesses though)?
And who says that Freud was right about everything, in the first place? Some say that one of his students, CG Jung, was even better. I once read a book by Jung and can say that his theories are worth considering. I've read about Freud but I am not too sure about him, he's been criticised by many, inside and outside of academia. So please, don't make anything a dogma that might keep you from experiencing. Experience of Self is the key.
inside and outside all reality's exist, at all times
just choose the one you like the sound of and start to live it
:NoY:

Well the biggest goal which i want to develop is to eliminate my human ego entirely so that my divine ego can emerge and take over my being..
one of things needed on the path is to overcome the dream censor.. so i am asking everyone in here how to do that?
Hi,
Ok on that, I think the first thing to attain is what in your opinion does the dream sensor actually initiate or the function/s of it?
We already have a good understanding on the best mindset for progression if an oobe is desired.
