Because most people lack knowledge of how to release memories of their day's activities and enter into the inner levels of consciousness, they are restless during the early stages of sleep. This light sleep is characterized by tossing and turning throughout the night, leaving the sleeper physically tired and mentally irritable the next day. If restlessness becomes a habitual pattern, the sleeper remains in shallow sleep throughout the night, resulting in insomnia. By learning to release your mental attachment to people and situations, you ease your mind, promoting restful periods of sleep. Controlling your attention and causing mental and physical relaxation at will enables you to still your conscious mind in order to receive communication from your subconscious mind.
Dreaming occurs when the inner subconscious part of Self desires communication with the outer waking Self. This occurs from birth and continues until the physical life ends. Subconscious Mind incarns into the flesh, taking on a physical body for experiencing. It is this part of Self that determines the moment of birth and ultimately the moment of death, the last breath, when allowed. When allowed means that we now have the power to interfer with the natural course of events. From taking drugs, which disrupt the natural communication channels, to life-saving measures of allopathic medicine, man has assumed conscious responsibility in many matters that were once under the dominion of Subconscious mind. This is why learning the doctrines of the inner lif
You control what you dream by the choices you make during your waking life. For instance, happy people tend to have happy dreams, negative people have negative dreams, fearful people have scary dreams, friendly people have friendly dreams, and so forth.
Many times it is the uncharacteristic dream that captures someone's attention. The mild-mannered, friend-to-all person who dreams of being a key player in a violent situation or the faithful spouse who dreams of infidelity, can be the beginning of giving attention to the dream world and the gifts it brings.
If you own a pet you may have noticed how many hours your dog or cat sleeps. The saying "cat-nap" describes a human being who sleeps small amounts off and on throughout the day. Most humans prefer to sleep for longer periods of 4-10 hours. There is a difference between animals sleeping and humans sleeping.
The first reason for sleeping is to give the body a rest. This is how your cat or dog sleep, or an elephant or lemur. They sleep on and off so they can be ready to survive - to hunt for prey or defend themselves from being another animal's dinner.
Dreams are messages originating in the inner levels of your consciousness, the part of Self we term the subconscious mind. Your subconscious mind has a duty to fulfill and a purpose to accomplish. It recreates the images created by your waking, conscious mind so you can enjoy the experiences you desire. Your subconscious mind will fulfill any conscious desire when allowed. This occurs for the growth and maturity of the whole Self. As your desires are manifested in the conditions and circumstances of your life, you have opportunities to learn about your Self and creation. When the essence of experiences are understood and made a part of Self, these understandings are stored in your subconscious mind as permanent memory.
Every dream is communication from the inner Self to the outer Self and is always a message concerning the dreamer and the dreamer’s state of consciousness.
