How To Use Dreams For Spiritual and Psychological Wellbeing
Introduction
Many people see dreams as random, ridiculous and irrelevant. Most people forget up to 90% of their dreams soon after having them if not the whole dream entirely. Some people deny having dreams at all. But for many people, our dreams are important. For example, we can use them for problem-solving, creative inspiration, emotional healing and self-understanding. We can also use dreaming to connect with our higher selves and the spiritual realm. I postulate that all spirituality starts with dreams.
Reoccurring dreams or nightmares have been shown to hold personal meaning to the person experiencing them. Sometimes the meaning is clear and sometimes it is a riddle. Dreams can provide us with valuable insights about ourselves. By studying and listening to our dreams, we can gain insight into our subconscious and gain an understanding of any deep, unresolved issues that may be submerged deep within our minds. In this way, dreams can open the doorway to greater self-knowledge.
Often we ignore what is going on within us because our conscious minds don’t want to acknowledge these things. When we dream, however, we can face these issues head-on. It can be a powerful experience to do deep inner work through dreams. In addition to helping us gain insight, dreams can also help us connect to the spiritual realm. Dreams can help us access higher realms of existence and be in communion with the divine. It is said that visions, messages and insights can be revealed through dreaming. It is also argued that dreams offer a way of connecting with a higher power, whatever your particular faith or spiritual practice.
According to some researchers, our DNA is like a computer program that stores all the experiences, data and information of our ancestors. Dreams give us access to this stored information. They also help us process and make sense of our own experiences and the data we take in through our five physical senses. In this way, dreams can be seen as a way of our mind making sense of and storing information. From a religious point of view, the body is the temple of god. It is the repository of all your knowledge if only you had access to it.
One of the biggest challenges associated with using dreams for well-being is remembering our dreams. Most people tend to forget up to 90% of their dreams soon after having them. This can make it difficult to access the knowledge, insight and spiritual connection offered by dreams. One of the best ways to work with dreams is to keep a dream journal. As you start to remember and record your dreams, you will be amazed at the insights they provide.
Another challenge is interpreting dreams. Many people struggle with understanding the symbols and messages of their dreams. This can be a challenge because our subconscious speaks in symbols and dream images can often be difficult to interpret. Additionally, the meaning of our dreams can depend on our personal life experiences and understanding of the world. Writing down your dreams each morning will help you remember them and better understand the stories they tell. This can help you gain insights into your deepest motivations and desires, as well as the underlying issues that are causing you problems.
