What are vivid dreams?

Monday, May 9th, 2016

QUESTION: Masters I have a question about vivid dreams. I have had a few of them and I wonder if they are from past lives? At around age 4 I dreamt I was put into a sand pit and large animals were approaching. In my teens I dreamt of a mountain range. I think its South America. I was there at the top and it was so vast. Another I believe it was Spain and my grandmother was being dragged out of a tomb. I was wearing Spanish colonial clothing. I have had others as well. These dreams are so vivid in color and I wake up with my heart beating out of my chest from fear. Are these glimpses into past lives? I always remember them. ~Regina,  USA

ANSWER: Vivid dreaming such as you have experienced has several points of origin. Some of the incidents that you remember are from popping back into the energy of lives you have had before – past lives. Other equally dynamic occurrences have come from scenarios you have read about or things you have seen in movies and on television.

Anything that generates an emotional impact, whether from participation or observation, burns itself into your memory. You throw yourself into your interests, particularly those with which you identify, and they then become a part of who you are. You have the ability to visit any of these things at any time you wish.

Go into a meditative, mindless state (allowing all thinking to drop away) and envision yourself stepping out into an adventure. You will be totally involved in whatever your unconscious believes you would like to experience. It will be “real” and vivid to your conscious mind.

Now do the same thing again, but before you begin, look at a picture or documentary about some place you have never physically been in this lifetime. When you drop away from your thinking mind, you will find yourself transported to the place where your last interest was fixed. This is not to say you have never spent time there in another life, because there will have been some reason that you chose the scene you did. Just have fun and don’t try to analyze your trips.

Conflicting feelings

QUESTION: Masters, I’m living a spiritual awakening and find myself sometimes with a lot of light and other times, especially with my husband and my mother, I feel a lot of anger at them. This is a very intense feeling that I do not know why it happens. I’m afraid to end up separating from my husband because we have a baby of 8 months. I am also trying to put together a holistic space to help others, which is my work here on Earth. I would like some words of guidance! ~Laila, Brasil

ANSWER: As you progress along your spiritual path, you go from an arena of mostly negative energy into choosing to turn all negative instances into positive, loving ones. This is not done with everything in your life all at once. You must approach each pocket of negativity and decide what to do with it. If you leave it alone, it maintains an influence on you whenever you are near it.

The anger you sense for your husband and mother has to do with the way they treated you in the past, before you woke up and chose to move away from their type of energy. When they were bombarding you with negativity and mentally and emotionally abusing you, before you realized this could happen only if you allowed it, you built up this inner anger over their actions. Now it is being released because you no longer fear them or think that you have to put up with their nastiness.

You have total freedom of choice to decide what comes next in your life. You can dedicate yourself to your work and surround your physical body with unconditional love so that you are no longer affected by your family’s negativity. Your child will feel the negativity until they recognize that it is not directed at them. You must decide if it is possible for the two of you to find a way to thrive in this environment or if it is best that you move on.

Your work will put you mostly in positive energy. Use that as a base for living your life. Negativity cannot exist in the presence of unconditional love. With your intention, send love to those who are negative to assist them in finding their way out of that energy into positive loving energy. Don’t try to “think” your way out of any situation; always ask yourself how you “feel” about what is happening.

You draw experiences to you

QUESTION: Masters I’ve struggled with my health for a few years now. What exactly is my condition? Is this a lesson I chose for myself or is it a product of anything? I get very low and miserable and really struggle with my mood at times. Is there a cause and will it go away? I’m also struggling very much with my relationship. Is there a reason my partner is the way he is? He’s very egotistical and can lack a degree of empathy. I feel like everything has to be his way and that I need to fight for what I want on a regular basis. I struggle very much with his personality and wonder if this relationship is healthy for me. Have we ever had a previous life together and if so in what capacity. ~Joanne, UK

ANSWER: You are dealing with a series of life lessons. This all starts with your low self-esteem and sense of worthlessness. You attracted your husband because, in the beginning, you agreed with everything he wanted since you thought it would make him love you. You desperately need to be needed.

The current health difficulties are your body’s response to your hesitation in life. Your first reaction to adversity is to freeze and hide. This causes the energy within your body to stop and create blockages for protection. To restore the balance in your body, you need to feel more comfortable with yourself. Accept that you are a soul having a physical experience and have the ability to call upon all the powers and abilities of the universe.

You cannot change your husband unless he chooses to change, because he too is a soul with total freedom of choice. You have identified several of his issues, which was possible because you allowed yourself to analyze what was causing difficulty in your life. Congratulations – this is part of your spiritual growth.

It is time to continue your analysis. How do you feel when conflict arises with your husband? How does your body react to the tension? Is there something you can do to make yourself more comfortable? You have the ability to create your own future with your freedom of choice.

Meditate on what you feel is the best situation for you. Then do it.
