MORE ABOUT DREAMS

Much research has been done on sleep and dreams and why they are important to us. Prolonged lack of sleep can lead to serious physical and mental health problems.

Part of the dream activity might be called housecleaning. Dream housecleaning has to do with reviewing the day’s activity and sorting out what is important to our well being and what is not. Who has not had the experience of going to bed all worried about something that happened during the day, then woke up the next morning without a care in the world.

Another function of the dream activity is to point out some answers to situations we are dealing with in our daily life.

We sometimes think of our waking activity as being conscious and our sleeping activity as being unconscious. But if things happen during sleep to help us with waking things in our lives, is it not possible this too is a type of being conscious? And what about the greater flexibility, greater range of activity in the sleep state?

People who know how to meditate realize that meditation is a waking, conscious form of sleep and dream activity. The physical body is in a slower , relaxed state. We drift in and out of dreamlike experiences. Once we learn how to interpret, to understand both the dream and the meditation experiences, we find personal guidance toward a healthier, happier, richer, more fulfilling life.
