 I. About dreaming and dreams

       Lucid dream is an amazing dream, related to our Soul journey. There are other kind of dreams, that has the function and ability to cleanse our sub-conscious Mind from any dark emotions or negative vibrations that we have “accepted” unconsciously in the real life. That’s how we can dream about something, connected with the daily life reality. These dreams (which I call subtle body dreams) are usual and they don’t require much attention. Because they have function of cleansing the “dust” and fears from the drawers of the Under mind.

       As I wrote the difference between Sub-conscious and Conscious mind can be described as a beautiful vast lake. The surface of the lake is clear, we see all things on it, the floating lotus flowers, branches of trees, fishes, and play of the sunrays. This is the Conscious mind.

       When we dive deeper into the lake we are reaching to the Sub-conscious mind, which has already many layers. Sub-conscious has the quality “depth”, and the waters are not always clear, also they change temperature and the quality. That`s exactly how we dream. We are diving deep in the lake, and let the waters surround us and encompass our Mind.

Kinds of Dreams * 

      Dreams are the way we connect to our mirror sub-conscious mind and the way we express our true Emotional (Ethereal) Self. They are indeed, another reality. [ see the link to my article about Astral planes and spheres ]  One of the most common kind of dreams is

I. Subtle body dream 

       ...It is related directly to our emotional body, and represents exact mirror of our fears, hopes, emotions, challenges, and real situations that we experience. It has the function to release suppressed emotions, and to cleanse the Sub-conscious mind from the negative feelings or vibrations. That’s how be aware that the Dark dreams, usually nightmares, the sexual dreams, that we see or feel direct need or desire to someone, are expressions of Mirror-Ego in the ethereal world. This is the way our body is releasing and cleansing from toxic energies or fears. This kind of dreams are very usual, and often we don’t remember them. They are mostly related to fears in the physical reality. Even they may hold some symbolism, as all dreams, but they are not special Symbolic keys to unlock the mysteries of mind. They can have such elements. Because their main task is cleansing.

II. Vivid dreams in astral plane }

      These dreams have totally different quality. They are usually characterized by some of the following elements: vivid pictures of places, people; strong emotions and thoughts; vivid sounds, smells; strong focus on symbolic elements. We have palette of symbols in all dreams. But dreams in Astral plane, we are like diving deeper in the Sub-conscious lake, then we are emerging in another reality. That is exactly the dream-reality, where all things are meaningful. Here we will have special signs and symbols, that represent deep meaning and we need to observe them. These dreams have philosophy of life, related to our life purpose, emotions, and most times they can point us the way what we need to do. Of course if we could manage to read them properly and remember them. These dreams are many times with strong emotions, so they are multiple times remembered. As they may seem unusual, unreal, imaginary, and quite bizarre. These dreams have the function of bringing a message to us. In these dreams we can see something, that our spirit guides want us to know.

      Under this category falls also the prophetic dreams or warning dreams. Also they often include the following symbolic elements: water (ocean, sea, any waters); trees or plants; - animals, - flying in a machine; - any kind of travel from one place to another; - elevator and lifting up; falling; - holding a key; - being naked; - hair, hands; -need to escape; - the moon or stars; mountain; high buildings; -insects; - cats, dogs, wild animals; - colour black; -fishes; - colour red; -deceased people.
