I woke this morning from one of those dreams that just makes me feel amazed. I put in some serious work in to dreaming for several years which consisted in writing my dreams down in as much detail as possible everyday, I have books and books full of thoughts and dreams. I had a crisis in my life and stopped writing things down altogether but have acquired a focus which enables me to pick up my knowledge from where I left off, awesome! I suppose this is left side knowledge as it is knowledge about dreams, it is for me like a feeling of depth and I suppose clarity which makes my ordinary dreams seem more real!
One thing that has struck me as fascinating in learning about dreams is firstly the scope with which we, in dreaming, inhabit vast environments and can fill them with characters who are aspects of our selves. Secondly an occurrence I have become very familiar with are the environments I return to again and again, remembering dreams within dreams and being able to navigate.
One such place, the place I dreamed last night is an underground system of tunnels which always gives me a feeling of being a special dream. I once became so excited by journeying further in to the tunnels that I woke myself up. I feel like my dream locations are connected and I often visit places again and again. I feel my dreams often reflect my state of mind and these dreams that feel special to me are often prophetic, meaning that they seem to overlap my sense of time, like I can watch the future coming in to being as if I had already predicted it in a dream.
Last night I had planned to dream. I had been trying for a week or so remembering every so often that my attempts had failed but persistence is the key and our inner knowledge is working effectively behind the scenes making our wishes happen, making connections and assessing our feelings. I realized again this morning that I do not want to remember my dreams, it is like knowing that I need exercise and not being bothered to do it but the positive thing is that dreaming is a snowball effect, once we start to get experience it begins to accumulate and becomes something more tangible and less vague.
Anyway enough of my ramblings, I have captured the feeling of my accumulated experience of dreams and if I hold this feeling I will add to it and find out what this underground system of tunnels is and why it feels special, why I go there and what may be possible next!
