Yes....often we unconsciously censor out a lot.
Yes.
No. do not try to focus, that will only make it more elusive.
That's interesting, thank you. I am glad I do not have to focus. I suppose one must be aware of these unconscious behaviors first, then want to know more about it and/or change it, in order to capture the prize.
Yes there is some work involve....but it's fun.
I suppose fun is relative. It does not sound like fun to me. Is there more to it than fun? Like, can it change the world, an individual's life, end racism, etc.? What tangible benefit can one expect to receive? I already have very peaceful sleep, if I am to consider changing / relinquishing this for something else, it has to be considerably better. This reminds me of "a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush".
We all lose these helpful hints from our deeper self.
Dreams are messages telling what has happen, what is happening, and what will happen....and how best to deal with it all - dreams are a door and a tool.
This is very interesting too. You say we all lose these helpful hints, but can one learn to never lose any? How would one know if they had them all or not? It seems an endless quest for knowledge. My sleeping dreams have never (to my knowledge) told me what has happened, what is happening, or what will happen, let alone how to deal with it all. My sleeping (dreams) has primarily been a time for my body to rest, to be at peace from the many ramblings of my mind, to rejuvenate itself. Given this, it sounds like I'm missing out on a lot of resolution.
It is more like practice than work....the work part is the discipline to continue and maintain the practice for a given period of time.
I am no expert....Nor do I wish to manipulate your dreams - you are already doing that unknowingly.
Work / practice - they are somewhat synonymous, oftentimes requiring dedication and time to achieve the goal. It's just that I have so much work / practice already, no where near getting it all done, and to take on another challenge (any at all) that requires like effort - whew - I have to weigh it heavily, for it means something else dear to me will likely go undone.
Can you give more information on how I unknowingly manipulate my sleeping dreams? How do I do that?
I imagine I manipulate my (woke) dreams, adjusting them regularly with conscious thought, but my sleeping dreams? Please tell me more. You had also mentioned both woke / sleep dreams initially, if no mistake. I'm looking forward to the woke dream part (if I've not missed it already), as I think I will be able to understand it better.
No....Not really but way back in my earlier adult life I did a three month research and practice with and into dreams.
Yes there are techniques that may help.
A 3 month commitment to learn what one yearns to know, is not bad at all. What prompted you to want to learn more about your dreams? Were you having vivid dreams and wanted to understand them better? Are you at more peace as a result of the effort? Were you able to see your dreams tell you what happened, what is happening, and what will happen along with how to deal with it? I suppose results will vary for each individual.
Thank you for keep the site up and running all these many years
Feel no pressure to respond...it's all fun for me as it should be for you - given your responsibilities to the site I acknowledge the challenge you face.
much Love and Appreciation
You are so very welcome! Thank you for being here. It is a pleasure to respond. This is what I love, I just don't get to do it often. As I've thought on this, dreams and all, it reminds me of destee and this effort. All of my work and practice goes into this. I have so much I need to learn, it is endless. I've been doing it years, and I've yet to reach the point where I know it all. It never stops. Studying dreams seems like it could be that way too. Always learning more, ever changing ebbs and flows. One would have to be dedicated to the effort, in order to keep going. I believe it's like many other crafts in life, no one person knows them all intimately. We have to pick and choose, which is most important to us. No right or wrong answer here. We can have a dream expert, and a plumber, and a site builder, and a writer, and a teacher, we can have it all.
Thank you so much for sharing with me!
While I don't have knowledge of dreams, I can learn from my Sisters and Brothers that do ...
YAAAAAAAAAY Us!
Much Much Love and Peace.
