Day 1 of writing a Dream Diary:
I was all excited before sleeping. I kept a dream journal and a pen ready, next to my bed, so that I could jot my dream recalls as soon as I wake up. And then went off to sleep. Sometime in the night, I woke up to the constant nag of nature's call. As I got up from my bed, I realized I had woken up in the middle of a dream. Quickkkk! I gotta write this down before I forget. But my cats weren't amused. As soon as they saw me getting up, they started howling for food. Cats: "Calendar! Give us food, or else we will meowww the house down."👹 Me: "Oh dear! Let me just feed the cats quickly." Me: "Now let me just rush to the loo to get this out of the way as well". Phew! All done! I sat down on my bed to start writing down my dream recall, "peacefully". Damn! what the h*** was my dream ?!😱 In between the feeding of the cats and nature's nagging call, I had forgotten the dream. Most dreams are so wispy-light that they slip out of the mind as soon as we wake up and our mind gets occupied with the daily mundane chores/thinking. I turned left, I turned right (figuratively), but I just couldn't remember what the dream was about. "Ok. Let me try once again", I said to myself. I wasn't going to give in so easily. "Let me try recalling the tail end of my dream or let me try to remember which people were in my dream, or let me try to remember any scene from the dream." Thankfully few names of people could be recalled (odd people to be in my dream but nevertheless wrote them down). I could recollect some last few scenes from the dream - them odd too. Wrote them down as well. How did I feel after the dream? Well, they were neutral feelings. Wrote that down as well. Basically, I got bits and pieces of stuff from the end of the dream story, some stuff from the middle of the dream story. The dream didn't make sense but it is too early to analyze my dream. It is important first to get into a habit of recalling dreams for atleast 21-40 days, rather than analyzing whether the dreams are related to an unfulfilled action/desire that couldn't have been completed during waking hours or whether the dreams are indicative of some mental activity/stress in day to day life and too early to analyze whether the dream could be indicative of future events. Also I was feeling neutral after the dream. I think overall it was a decent start to my Dream writing adventure. Lesson to be learnt: Recall the dream as soon as eyes open. If needed, stay in bed for sometime and first try to recollect or relive the dream. Ingrain it in your head and then get up and write it down. #dreamanalysis #dreamjournal #dreamdiary #dreams Nightmares aren't fun.
And excessive dreaming isn't fun either, in-fact it is downright disturbing. But dreams definitely they tell us something, one - about our state of mind. Dreams would have important clues about an incident already occurred in our life, or we may complete our unfulfilled desires in our dreams, it may give clues of our over-worrying or overthinking and lets us know that we need to rest, and so on. Our dreams gives us clues of what we are constantly thinking, or what is stuck in our subconscious mind. which we may not be aware of consciously. These are important clues that should not be taken too literally in its meaning but at the same time should not be ignored. Dreams don't necessarily forebode our future and hence spending too much time over its literal meaning is futile. But at the same time, dreams can forebode future. :)) Robert Moss answers (author of Conscious dreaming book): Why do you think that dreams are so significant? (1) We solve problems in our sleep (2) Dreams coach us for future challenges and opportunities (3) Dreams show us what the body needs , to stay well – and get well (4) Dreams hold up a “magic mirror” to our current actions and attitudes, helping us to take an objective look at ourselves and make wiser choices (5) Dreams are a creative studio where we develop new ideas – as inventors, scientists, writers and world-changers have always done. I think its high time I start dreaming, zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz............ Imagine!
Having your own standard of success and satisfaction, free of comparisons with what others have achieved, earned. You could live in a single room and still feel successful and content, completely. And then from that place of contentment, all you would do is creatively create for just the joy of creating something new or honing your skills. And this would lead you to pots of money...and u didn't do anything for earning the money. Especially you didn't worry where the money came from. You just created joyfully and the money machine just rolled without any rhyme or reason. Infact you didn't care if the money came or went. Imagine! you are free of the burden of meeting someone else's standards of right or wrong and you would have your own standard -a "joyful /happiness meter" ! Abraham-Hicks says: What has caused an eroding of self-love within so many of you is comparing you and what you want with others and what they want and you and what you've got with others and what they've got. That's what causes an eroding of self-love. What causes an inclusion of self-love, an embracing of self-love, a loving of self is a 'not giving a rip what anybody else thinks' and having your eye only on this two vibrational points of relativity, where you, thought by thought, experience by experience, conversation by conversation, memory by memory, experience by experience, just train yourself into something that feels better and better and better and better and better.
