Hi Mornings Son,
" An 8th-century dream writer from Basra in southern Iraq, Ibn Sirin - who wrote Dreams and their Interpretation - divided dreams into the spiritual
(ruan), those inspired by the devil, and "dreams emanating from the nafs (which means "running, hot blood") - an earthly spirit that dwells in
the dreamer's body and is distinct from the soul."
I see no reason to doubt it.
My teacher used to say, "You don't even have a thought of your own." We are inspired by The One Spirit or Holy (Wholly) Spirit, or we are
inspired by A spirit. If that is true for our thoughts (and I have no reason to doubt that either) then it also goes for dreams.
We human beings are described as clay vessels in scripture. It brings to my mind the idea of empty vessels (containers) waiting to be filled.
We decide what we are filled with consciously or unconsciously by what we "attune to." It is all vibrations and harmonics. What we attune to is what
we draw to us.
It would be easy to make someone an Islamic extremist. You just get them at an early age and drum into their minds that the rest of the world are devils and
they are doing God's work by exterminating them.
Jesus even warned his disciples of this;
"These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended.
They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh,
that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service."
But it goes for everyone, not just extremists. What you attune to in life becomes the dreams and thoughts that ensoul you and surround you.
To change your life for the better, you need to change your vibrations. What you attune to. What you are surrounded by. What you think.
This will draw better things to you.
These are invisible connections. If I play a loud A note on a musical instrument in the corner of my room, the A string on my guitar standing in the
opposite corner of the room will vibrate. There is no "apparent" connection there.
The same is true on psychic and spiritual levels. That is why we should learn to control our emotions. Emotional intensity is the amount of wattage we
are sending out, while likes and dislikes are the "tuner" deciding where we are sending to or recieving from.
There are many instances in scripture where dreams are direct communication from God or His angels. Both Josephs in the Bible were dreamers and both
recieved knowledge of the future in dreams to warn them what to do to avoid or take advantage of trouble to come.
Some serial killers also recieve messages in dreams.
Some inventors and songwriters and artists recieve ideas in the same way.
The differences in what you will recieve whether in dreams or meditation or waking life is what you attune to.
Paul, in the New Testament said;
"Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever
things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things."
Good advice on what to attune yourself to.
