  2. To Sleep, perchance to Dream!

    Approximately, a third of our lives is spent sleeping. Our sleeping time moves in 90-minute cycles with most dream activity happening in the latter hours. This is why we usually recall dreams in the morning, and it is a function of our biology and DNA programming as much as the mind’s need to assert its purpose for being.


    Sleeping performs two basic functions, both dependent upon the conscious mind being set aside. The first function is the revitalization of the mind and body. By removing conscious mind interference, the seven major chakras work unimpeded to balance the mind/body connections and synchronize wholistic thinking. The success of this re-energization plan determines how you think, feel, and operate the following day. This is why your mother always told you to get a good night’s sleep.

    When Siddhartha Gautama reached enlightenment while wrestling with his ego-demons two dozen centuries ago, he became the Buddha – awakened.  Life is this journey for each of us.  We are soul travelers in a vast cosmic universe and custodians of quantum ones.  Our dreams help rouse us from our worldly slumber, opening the mental eye of perception to something greater than what we presently know. 

    The following dream, named Dream of a Desert Oasis Water Pool and the World on the Verge of War by the dreamer, is an example of someone making the transition from a state of unconsciousness to consciousness.  The dreamer is a 45-year-old male from the Northwestern U.S.

    How does TV influence dreams?  At Dreamschool, we understand that our dreams show us our own state of consciousness.  That is, the state and content of our minds.  The impact of watching TV on our consciousness is shown in our dreams.  One place we see it in waking life is in more passive use of imagination.  We can see examples of this in dreams.
