Your Wildest Dreams Revealed Series #7:  The Most Common Dreams

Your Wildest Dreams Revealed Series #7: The Most Common Dreams

 

You have sent me many dream questions and I’ve been waiting for a rainy day to answer them. Well, it’s raining. So, I’ve shut off my cell phone and hung the Do Not Disturb sign I “permanently borrowed” from a hotel room on my door. In order to answer them all, I’ve created a dream series because I believe that by reading the answers to the dreams of others we enrich our dream life. Each section in the series will focus on answering your dream questions.

Today, your wildest dream questions are my main priority.

Your Question- What are the most common dreams that people have?

I find that most dreams fall into these 7 categories, and these categories can overlap.

•   Daydreams- when you are awake but no longer focused on a task. This can also happen during meditation, and prayer. Your mind begins to wander and ends up in an area filled with spiritual guides or a place full of information.

•   Lucid dreams– you know you are dreaming while in the dream-state. What makes this dream so amazing is that you can learn to return to the lucid dream to control the outcome and change your life in a positive manner.

•   Nightmares– who can forget that information? But our nightmares can be blessings in disguise. Nightmares are often a call to action that refuses to be ignored. It is easy to forget a sweet dream, but who can forget a frightening nightmare? The other purpose of a nightmare may be to awaken you at a strategic place in the dream that holds an answer to the crisis.

•   Recurring- because you didn’t get it the first time or solve it yet. When you have the same dream over-and-over it is telling you to keep working on the meaning or the solution.

•   Healing-emotional or physical information. A healing dream may contain a recipe for life or you may connect with your Spirit-guides or Guardian angels for life-saving information.

•   Prophetic- comes true and can be validated by scientific tests or life events. Watch for the validation in your waking world. Validation is the key.

•   Epic– like an entertaining storybook you pick up and continue while sleeping. The only thing missing is the popcorn. Enjoy!

Within those groups are many subgroups. An example would be precognitive dreams that are also in the subgroup of shamanic. Many dream groups can overlap. An example might be a lucid nightmare (meaning you are aware of the fact that you are dreaming) that is also precognitive (comes true with validations in the waking world) and is healing (causes positive emotional or physical change in you).

 

I hope this helps to answers your incredible dream question. Ask me anything in the comment box.

Writing with Bungee Cords: A Technique for Authors

Writing with Bungee Cords: A Technique for Authors

 

I really slept in late this morning. By late, I mean well past 12:00–noon. But then, I was up well past 2:00am finishing two more chapters in my book. Many 2s and wells there. Synchronicity?


Once I am writing “in the zone” it’s difficult to break my concentration and stop typing. 

“Leave the rest for tomorrow,” is not in my vocabulary. By mid-chapter, I am driven. Forget food and water.

I’m quite content in my self-inflicted jail cell.


This driven feeling is more than work ethic or time restraint. It is emotionally based. Painful memories must be dragged out of  hibernation, (often kicking and screaming,) from behind locked mental doors,  convert them into word and sew them to page before they can snap back into the dark bowels of my mind like a bungee cord. It is much like reluctantly remembering a nightmare months after having had it–a struggle on many levels.

So why would I inflict such masochism on myself?

How does that saying go? “Those who forget the past are destined to repeat it.” Your journal can become the skeleton for your book. My notes from my first battle with breast cancer helped me live through stage 4 the second time. Those journals and memories became my emotionally packed book.

My story is unconventional, but not unique. 

Doctors are human. Scientific tests are only as accurate as the people who perform and read them. Life is not infallible. But Inner-guidance from dreams validated in the waking world just might be.

My second book is more than halfway complete because I have my own style of cutting out my literary pattern and sewing it together with a running stitch that can be removed to make adjustments. 

I write the beginning and ending of my book–then fill in the middle.

By using this technique, I always know where I am and where I’m going with a story that is filled with impassioned twists and turns.  It gives me a mental edge–no floundering around in the dark while retrieving dark memories. I never feel like I have wandered off the books path. Rather than holding one tread of the story’s line in my mind, I have two. This extra balance anchors my writing so I can interject humor yet not wander away from the serious nature of the main theme.

Writing a book is much like sewing a garment.

Somewhere between the beginning and the end product, areas no longer fit. Some seams must be let out, others taken in, and extra material trimmed.

But, I always save my scraps because they could be the collar of another adventure.

Your Wildest Dreams Revealed Series #6: Dead Loved Ones and Holidays

Your Wildest Dreams Revealed Series #6: Dead Loved Ones and Holidays

You have sent me many dream questions and I’ve been waiting for a rainy day to answer them. Well, it’s raining. So, I’ve shut off my cell phone and hung the Do Not Disturb sign I “permanently borrowed” from a hotel room on my door. In order to answer them all, I’ve created a dream series because I believe that by reading the answers to the dreams of others we enrich our dream life. Each section in the series will focus on answering your dream questions.

Today, your wildest dream questions are my main priority.

Your Questions: What does it mean to dream of dead relatives? I dream of my grandparents, as well as ancestors who I never knew personally, many of whom died in the German Concentration Camps like Auschwitz or Dachau during World War II. Usually they pop up out of nowhere in my dream and try to talk, but I have difficulty understanding them, or I try to go up to them, but I can’t. Are they real? What does this mean?

Dreaming of your deceased loved ones can man a number of things. It can be:

•   A visitation

•   A memory

•   An aspect of yourself

A Visitation is a lucid dream that is an actual dream-visit by a deceased loved one returning to:

•   Share important information about an upcoming event in your life

•   Reassure you that they are okay

•   Introduce you to your extended family during times of crisis to remind you that you are never alone.

A Dream-memory of a loved one can:

•   Give you grief-relief

•   Help you work through your grief challenges in your dream so you can implement them in your waking-world.

•   Be an emotional Healing Dream

A Dream-relative aspect of yourself may:

•   Remind you of the personality you enjoyed or avoided in that relative

•   Point out strengths or weakness (by comparison) you may have forgotten you possess that may help you through a current crisis

Our dreams are Sacred Doorways to the where we existed before we were born and will return again. That place is full of departed loved ones who wait for us.

Love is something that we can take with us and will bring us back.

Occasionally, especially during holidays filled with memories and love, the veil between the living and the dead becomes thin. Messengers and family use the Sacred Doorways of our dreams to come calling.

Not being able to hear them as them speak is part of the process of death. But, seeing them reminds us that they are only a dream away in an alternate dimension. Write down what you do see in your dream journal. Try to read their lips and you may be able to figure out their message. It could be as simple as, “We Love You!”

I hope this helps to answers your incredible dream questions. Ask me anything in the comment box.

Akashic Records and iCloud: Your Soul’s Download? (AUDIO)

Akashic Records and iCloud: Your Soul’s Download? (AUDIO)

The ancient Akashic Records and modern iCloud may have more in common than you ever imagined. As we progress deeper into the realm of storing invisible energy in the form of cyber downloads from our computers, smart-phones and other internet related devices are we tapping into a realm on the earth plane that runs parallel to the spiritual plane frequented by our spirit between lives- the realm that houses our Akashic Records.

Can iCloud be to our many computers what the Akashic Records are to our many lives? Is this all part of Universal Wisdom on multiple planes playing out parts in our multi-dimensional lives? Perhaps we are progressing back to the future with such ease we are unaware of our profound journey and just take it in stride. But many questions still haunt us.

Is there life before life? Can understanding your past lives improve your present one? And, is there such a thing as “karma”?

All these questions and more are answered during this incredible radio interview with award-winning Hay House author Dr. Linda Howe.

The radio interview link is posted at the end of this article for your listening pleasure.

Dr. Linda Howe is one of the world’s foremost authorities on the Akashic Records. She has authored three bestselling books on the topic of Akashic Wisdom, and as we discussed her new book, “Discover Your Soul’s Path Through the Akashic Records, we discovered there is much more to life-and-death than the here-and-now.

What is the Akasha?

According to Dr. Linda Howe, Akasha is the energetic history of the Soul. It is said that the Akasha exists all around us.

Her fabulous in-depth explanation illuminated a lightbulb in my brain concerning life, death and our energy. When your body dies and leaves this realm of existence, the soul and its energetic energy continues to exist, and downloads this lifetime’s history into its records.

If that explanation sounds too far-fetched to be plausible, think about the impossibility of iCloud. Akashic Records-iCloud. It makes sense.

 iCloud makes sure you always have the latest versions of your most important things— documents, photos, notes, contacts, and more — from all your devices, all the time and accessible from anywhere night or day, 24/7… memories and information for decision-making. All you need to connect is your password. Can you find it by accessing your Sacred Dream Doorways? 

Now imagine if your Akashic Records were your lifetimes stored in a spiritual iCloud accessible from anywhere at any time, just like your computer information in iCloud. But, with the Akashic Records each new location is a new lifetime, and you have access to all those lifetimes, all those downloads, all that personal information.

 What are some of the benefits of connecting with your Akashic Records?

 They can:

  •  take your life from ordinary to ExtraOrdinary
  • give insights into the mysterious realm of spiritual exploration first popularized by Edgar Cayce (“The Sleeping Prophet”)
  • help understand and chang disheartening, dysfunctional and/or self-sabotaging habits and relationships.
  • help you discover your soul’s path
  • shift your consciousness,
  • find healing to positively transform your life

What if you could download job choices and lovers of lifetimes past to discover why certain relationships or financial decisions in this lifetime work while others do not. Imagine how much happier, easier and fulfilled your life would be. Rather than repeating the same poor choices over and over again your Akashic Records could afford you the ability to learn from you mistakes in the past…as in past lifetimes, to improve your present and affect your future.

Working in the Akashic Records can remove significant blockages. Understanding this seemingly “esoteric” topic can dramatically alter your life by addressing personal questions about phobias, unexplained illness, relationship issues, black sheep syndrome and much more. Breaking this enormous concept down into smaller pieces like the iCloud example can help with comprehending the concept of the Akashic Records. .

Some of us have intuitively figured out the process of using iCloud. Others needed instruction. It is much the same with the Akashic Records.

Your Akashic Records are an innate personal gift; your birth-right. No one else’s records are identical to yours. It is important to understand the “history” of your Soul and how it can inform and improve your life today. As with most things in life, there are unique ways to tap into the vast, energetic library of the Akashic realm to access and open your personal records.

The key is remembering your personal password. Just ask Dr. Linda.
