5/16/2007 - Dream Control

There are and have always been those that are gifited with the ablity to control and dictate thier own dreams, and this can be a useful skill and ablitiy to have. There are many reasons for one to have control over thier dreams, it can give one power over thier Nightmares, for there would be nothing left to fear if you knew you were in control of what happend and could change the course of the dream, as well it can give you a greater ablity to explore the dream realm so you can seek the answers you are truly after and understand your subconcious better, and ultimately it can also give you the ablity to reach out to others through your dreams, if you need to send another a message or to visit another.

I have recently been exprimentning with a new technique to try and gain the skill of mastery over my own dreams.

First thing you should do for this technique is to create a place for yourself in your mind. A special place, I like to call it a Dream Garden, make this place look however you wish it to look imagine whatever setting would be like a Paradise to you. Place thier what you want, think of it as a sort of safe place where you have complete control and where only you can go, your own personal Eden. Think of what you want to be within this place, thier are no limitations but that of your own imgination. Be as detailed as possible imagining the climate, time of day, if there is any other life, animals, what sort of sounds and perhaps even scents might be there. Is it in the mountains, or perhaps upon the beach, by fresh water, is it truly a garden, or perhaps the desert, and so forth.

Once you have established your place, as you get ready to go to bed, and close your eyes visulize yourself within your place, see yourself in the center of it, surrounded by it, feel it wrapped around you and feel at one with it, and hold onto that image. As you start to drift off to sleep whenever you feel your mind or thoughts start to drift away to something else, as soon as you become aware of it, quickly put yourself back into your place and surround yourself within it once more and presistantly keep doing this every time your mind wavers until the moment you do fall asleep.

The idea is to get to the point that eventually when you do fall asleep you will in your dreams be within your place and be able to dictate what happens and go where you want to go, and eventurally be able to change the setting and move freely and conciously within the dream realm. You can also use this as a safe place if you do have nightmatres you can take yourself back to your place where nothing else can entrude if you do not let it.

Though it is imporant to be patitent and to practice with this technique on a regular bais you are not going to gain complete control of your dreams just by doing this for a night or two, it is something that must be developed, so if you do try it and it does not imideately work do not let the distract you but keep up with it to prefect the skill.

5/2/2007 - Moon Portals

Moon portals symolisim is an aid for Astral Projection and a doorway to the lunar realms.

Ussing a postar board draw or paint a symbolic setting like the moon altars standing stond arrangement. (see below for picture) The background cane be colored to enhance the desired energy.

To include water in the portal symbolism is to gain access to the magnetic properties of the Moon and is a link to the subconscious mind.

The portal is a focal point for meditation as well as a doorway to other dimensions. When constcutiong the portal, the Moons image should be placed directly center upon your post board. Symbols of the polarity of the lunar foce should be placed to represent the threshold. This can be black and white standing stones, or temple pillars, etc.. Water should be represented in the symbolism in one form or another. Idealy the water should cover the bottom of the board and a path should lead from the water to the Moon. This can be a path of light, or of land.

When using the moon portal, sit comftrably in front of the portal with only candles for lighting. If you desire you can fix the poster to the ceiling above your bed and mentally/astrally project as you drift off to sleep. Whatever you decide simply gaze upon the portal using the Moon as a focal point. Imagine yourself drifthing off into the moon, over the water and through the threshold.

Allow your imagination to annimate your epxerince, this is especially effective when drifting off to sleep as the portal will influence your Dreams.

This is an image to give you a basic idea of what the Moon Portal drawing should look like, it does not have to be exzact but this is just a visual to use as a guide.

4/24/2007 - Dreambox

I first saw one of these in this little store I was in and could not help but to be drawn for my genreal enjoyment of collecting varrious boxes and the legend behind them did strike my intrest and I do use mine.

The legend of the dream box (often attributed to Lemuria which is another sort of Atalantian type civilization) suggests writing down your foundest dream, greatest desire, strongest wish on a small peice of paper and putting the paper in a Dreambox and placing it beside your bed. Every evening as you retire and ever morning as you rise, hold your Dreambox and think on your dream, beleiving with all your heart that it is so. Legend has it, if done faithefully your dream will come true.

9/26/2006 - Is it possible to be so grounded in reality that even your dreams are boring?

Is it possible to be so grounded in reality that even your dreams are boring?

This question was posted in the section I did about dreams of flight, and it intrigued me so I thought I would address it. Though I do not claim to hold all the asnwers paritucarly when it comes to something as mystifying as dreams, where thier are so many possiblities of explination and symbolisism, but I can address this to the best of my own personal experirence and beleifs and opinion upon the subject.

Becasue of the fact that dreams are so much rooted into ones subconcious and it is each individuals experinces, and mind which genreally tend to determine what one will dream then I would say that it is in all possibility and probaility likely that if one were particuarly grounded in reality, the physcial, tandgiable and visable reality then that could dictate the type of dreams in which they would be given to have. For are dreams are only an extension of ourselves and what we already belive wheather it be on the concisous or sub-concious level.

9/26/2006 - Flying Dream Dictionary

Here is a list of different types of flying dreams, and the possible meaning behind them.

Flying Free

Flying free means that you will achieve your ambitions easily. Only modest efforts are required to steer you to success. The area you are flying over can give you further clues. For example, flying over your home indicates domestic sucess, flying over your place of word suggests career success.

Sprouting Wings

To sprout wings in a dream confers upon you the qualities of  a visionary pioneer. The wings refer to the ethics and principles of a higher order than that of human law. To dream of having birds wings means that you will have the gift of foresight and may be able to fly into the future. Angelic wings suggest that you will soon hear news from an unexpected higher authority.

Floating/Flying Low Altitude

If you succesfully managed to float/fly by flapping your arms or peddiling your feet in the air, success is indicated through dogged but determined effort. The message here is to keep going and to stick to your guns. If there has been a bout of exhaustion or sickness, this dream promisies refilef from these problems.

Trying to Take Off and Failing

This dream indicates that the spirit is fruststarted, bogged down with the mundance aspects of life and unable to finad a way forward. Trying to take off and failing to do so implies that an ambition may be beyond your reach. The dreamer would benifit from re-evaluating their goals.

Losing Altitude

Flying succesfully for a while, then loosing control and drifting or falling back towrd the earth suggests that the ambition is wanning or that the dreamer should become less of a high flyer. To experience erractic flying implies either fear of the heights of success of ambiviance tword thier ambitions.

Flying Aided

Flying an airplane at high altitude means that you can exepct recgonition for the work you have done. Soaring in a glider implies that you will be supported in your endeavors through team effort. To fly on the back of a mythical creature such as Pegasus, the winged horse, suggests an armchair adventurer.

Flying Towrd the Light

This is a very rare and unsual dream that refers to experinces that have been lost. It relates to reconnecting with an aspect of your past. Flying through a bright light tword someone who has died implies a nostaligic journey and that it is the time to let go of the memories.

Becoming Hamepred in Flight

Genreally speaking, this relates to setbacks or postponement of your aspierations or a lack of confidence in your ability to reach goals. The conditions can give you clues to the nature of the setbacks; strong winds, for example suggest communication problems.

9/26/2006 - Understanding Your Flying Dreams

Most of us are familler with having flying dreams, it is rather one of the most common dream types there are, and they can be inturpereted in many different possible ways so here are some possible intripitions which might help explain to you and might help you understand why you dream you can fly.

Why we have flying dreams

Flying dreams are often symbolic and refer to aspects of your spirit rising or falling. In gerneal, flying dreams tend to indicate a desire to:

• Rise above the mundane asepcts or life to gain insight and knowege about the bigger picture.

9/18/2006 - Dream Catcher

I have a dream catcher hanging beside my bed and I find them to be both attrachtive and mediative as well as giving a genreal sense or relaxtion and they come in use in spells and rituals relating to sleep and dreams. Here is a bit of informaiton about dream catchers.

A Native Tradition

Dream catchers are a Native American tradition based on the belief that dreams are filled with meaning and purpose. Native Americans designed and emplyed dream catchers so that no vital message contained in thier dreams would be lost.

Protecting Dreams

The design of the dream catcher is a hoop with crystals, feathers, and beads attached, joined in a web-like net with a hole in the center. It protects you from harm while you rest, catching good dreams as they pass by and getting rid of any bad dreams as they drop through the hole in the midde.

9/17/2006 - Dreams

I am creating a new chapter which will be dedicated to the discussion and anylysis of dreams, and any other information relating to dreams I might happen to come upon and find of intrest and use, but before I offcially begin this chapter there are a few words I would like to say about dreams in genreal.

As we all know there are umuptine sources out there prodviding anylisis of dreams, and trying to help us understand what are dreams mean. These guides can be useful in some cases, but the way they genreally work is by taking symbols, and subjects which seem to reguarly or commonly occur in dreams, and varrious common objects that might be the subject of dreams and different scenerious and such and then trying to give a genreal interpitation and anylysis of what they could mean and represent.

It has alwyas been my beleif that dreams are highly individulized and personal and each one stands alone in direct relation to the person and events in that persons life who is having the dream, so for example, I will use flying as it is a rather common one. If you were to have a dream involving flying and you would look it up in a dream interpitation book and what it says happens to relate to things you have been experincings or your feelings and where you are in life right now, then it is a good chance that is what your dream symbolized and meant, but say when you try and look up your dream what it says makes no sense to you and does not seem to releate to anything going on, well then it is posible and likely your dream does mean something different.

So the things I will be posting here are meant to act as a guide and will hopefully prove helpful, but they are by no means the only possible asnwere and explination.
