What i am about to write is solely my opinion only, this is in
no way respresentative of Buddhist teaching. I apologise here if i
happen to offend anybody. But my guiding intuition compel me to
write this to Surf188.
Hello Surf188,
From my understanding only...
You are a lucid dreamer... and i am quite sure you have done some
sort of spiritual practice before.
I use certain dreams as a tool for karmic pattern clearing. Certain
dreams are link to the karmic/memories storehouse. They can
actually tell what will happen within a month or so... why? because
karma is simply our intents/desire stored in the
subsconscious.
If we acknowlegde the dream, this is like saying a go-ahead to
activate the karma clearing. Several days after the dream occurs,
expereince in life will manifest the effect for cleansing.
All the characters in the dream must be seen as aspects/symbols of
ones' own habit/personality personified. I observe this characters
to spot my own karmic pattern and habits...The more i dig, the more
i discover what i really am, not just in this life , but in other
lives as well.
You may be asking why do this kind of thing? It is precisely karmic
habit that prevent us from seeing our true nature.
For me, the more i clear, the less habits binds me to compulsive
action... the more aware i becomes of my own thoughts... so much so
that the thoughts can at times appears to be 'in front' of my
awareness.
However, i may say that dreams are a tools and not a goal.
Ultimately, every state of consciousness( be it waking or not) is
like a dream. And I know you know what i mean.
my 2 cents
