Dreams and interpretation

I don’t dream. At least I don’t dream like normal people, I have never even had a nightmare, nothing and I am told that is not normal. The only time I dream is when I take melatonin, since besides making you sleepy, melatonin increases the communication between neurons, via increased traffic through the tight junctions. That is not actually relevant, but it is why I dream.

Anyways, this Friday and Saturday I took Melatonin to help me sleep, even though I had lots on my mind. While won’t describe the dreams, since they don’t make sense because of how the information was conveyed, the reason they are worth mentioning is what I learned from them. Basically the message was get over some stuff, and do what you need to do, and it was critical factor in some fundamental changes that only now seem to sticking despite the fact I have known for months this was the only choice.

Why do you care? Because people often have dreams that they want interpreted. However, I think if other’s dreams are like mine, there is no need for an advanced degree in Symbology, if your mind wants to tell you something you will know. Dreams are the parsing of information into your memory, and the distribution of new information since the conscious and subconscious speak. So if you are having to dissect the meaning of the orange Porsche or whatever and you have to ask other then that is not critical piece of info.
Entheogens are often used to generate a dream like state where the parts of the mind that contain the information become connected and you have a vision. Now the use of peyote is frowned on, but if you let you mind work you can achieve a similar state of clarity especially when you need to. These dreams are the ones that count, and you probably won’t even understand them in a waking state, but the message will remain.

Now I am told that others have dreams that hang over them like a dark cloud, since the dream leaves them depressed or full of doubt. Remember, everyone has demons, things you can’t or don’t want to face that hid in your mind. Well guess who is in charge of those kind of dreams? The demons want to feed on your psychy and since they are actively supressed most of the time, the best way to get fed is to move themselves into the fore front of your mind as dreams that weaken your defense mechanisms, then once you can’t hold them back they can consume you. How do you deal with this, the best way to face the demons on your own terms when you are awake. If you can’t do that, then you need to remember that you control your dreams. Before I stopped dreaming, I learned that by keeping a small part of my mind under my control when I slept I could prevent dreams like that, since I could just change the dream. Eventually, I learned to do a lot of my memory maintance without dreaming, or if you have been in a quiet place with me even without sleeping. Now that does leave me lots of free cycles to think about things like vacuum energy and gravity (the last post) or magnetic confinment schemes for fusion reactors or any of the other weird crap I think up, it also costs me access to parts of my mind that might have something to say if I would let them speak.
