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.
Sleep also allows for subconsciously dominant time, opening the door to your subconscious mind’s perspective of your day.
Consider this, how do you spend your waking hours? Concerned about your loved ones? Your career or schooling? The kid’s college education? Day-to-day realities populate most of our waking thinking. Whether practical concerns like how to assist aging parents, or ethereal ones like how to parent old souls in young bodies or, our conscious mind is a magnet for learning.
When we sleep, we shut down the computer for a while. No more information is received, and no more thoughts are stimulated through the physical senses. Now, the inner mind can do its work. Part of that work is Subconscious Mind communicating its point of view on how the outer you is running your life. This communication opportunity is the second function of sleeping.
We call the subconscious messages that come while we sleep “dreams”.
Dreams focus our minds on what is important in life. When interpreted they reveal the state of our conscious awareness. They tell us about our hopes and fears, our likes and dislikes, our successes and failings. Sometimes, as with the increasingly common flying dream, they pat us on the back, saying, “Well done!” Sometimes, as with nightmares, they slap us on the hand, cautioning, “Pay attention to what’s happening here!”
Then there are the dreams we dream again, and again, – and again! Why do some dreams reoccur? Does the inner self intend to repeat itself?
Dreamschool is dedicated to answering these kinds of questions by giving you the benefit of global research that increasingly spans cultures around the world. Dreamschool.org is quickly becoming the time and space when dreamers around the world can be in the presence of each other's dreams. Where we can gather to teach and learn, to explore and discover, to dream new dreams of better worlds within ourselves and with each other.
