Hi,

I have discovered this forum today and read so many interesting discussions here! So, I felt encouraged to write my first post concerning the purpose of dreaming. Do you think dreams contain psychic messages or our minds are simply connecting dots of our daily realities and experiences (or both)?

Also, some people appear to dream very little (or maybe they just don't remember their dreams) while others dream often and vividly. Is this related to something?

I personally dream vividly every night and I have no clue where my mind gets some of its content nor what it is trying to do...

Thank you for your thoughts.

MiBeloved’s Response:

Dreams do both functions which are to give psychic messages and to provide a way to respond to the same, as well as to connect the dots of our daily experiences.

In regards to dreaming very little or not dreaming at all, there is a subtle counterpart to the physical system. However, the person’s conscious mind may not be synchronizing with recall capacity on the subtle side and so their experiences there are just as if there were no experiences there. If something happens and you have no objective contact with it, for you it does not exist.

By convention we are physically focused and our minds usually avoid what is psychic and so that means that we are programmed not to have recall of the psychic side of life.

Those who dream vividly are programmed to have recall on the psychic side, so they remember the psychic occurrences and dream experiences while others have those experiences but have no recall of it.

If you take up a meditation practice you will develop the ability of coherence in the dream world. You will be able to make sense of it and to see how to correlate to what you do physically. Understating dream experience is a useful tool in gaining more proficiency in navigating even ordinary social relationships on the physical plane.
