Changing One's Perception Through Dream Analysis

Dreams can be quite a mystery when it comes to interpreting them.  Each person dreams every night during sleep.  Most view dreams as nothing more than a fantasy world that one goes to at night.  This philosophy could not be further from the truth.  Understanding one’s dreams can give a person more insight into him or herself than he or she ever imagined.  The representations within the dream world might give information about where one should go in life. 

The first step to understanding one’s dreams is to keep a dream diary.  The dreamer needs to write in the diary every day right after he or she wakes up in the morning.  The more time one wastes before writing the dream down, the less he or she will remember about what events took place while asleep.  Dream image retention will increase the more dreams are written down.  Dreams will become more vivid the more one pays attention to them.  The dreamer might feel as if he or she is traveling through time.  There will be a feeling as if an individual has been somewhere during the night upon waking.  An individual might remember what was said in a dream or at least remember that someone was speaking in what seemed to be a foreign language. 

The second step to remembering dreams is applying knowledge when attempting to interpret dreams.   This can be a little more difficult than it seems.  Dream books or websites can help the dreamer in some cases, but the majority of the representations in dreams can only be deciphered by the one having them.  In other words, an individual has to apply what they already know about him or herself to get the most out of the dream representations.  For example, I recently had a dream about moving to the countryside with a friend.  This friend then got angry because I went to a video game store.  For whatever reason, my brother and father were at the store as well.  I picked up Mortal Kombat Trilogy on the original PlayStation.  The game was in one of those double CD cases.  The front of the case had a deep crack in it, but the spine was still intact.  I also picked up some collection that contained Resident Evil 4, 5, and 6 on it.  I realize that I forgot my money, so I asked my father to pay for everything.  The interpretation of the dream is mirroring what is happening in my waking life.  I am trying to move out of a house that I have been living in for thirty one years.  I am also trying to look for opportunities beyond the call center job that I had for three years.  Old memories and thought patterns still pop in my head from time to time.  I used to play video games a lot when I was younger.  I was known as the expert at Mortal Kombat in my circle of friends.  The games that I purchased represent old memories or baggage that I have been hanging onto for a while.  The games on the shelves represent different thoughts and memories.  The double CD case could represent a stronger memory from my past than the Resident Evil collection.  The deep crack in the case probably indicates the age of the memory.  The Mortal Kombat franchise has always resonated with me since I was eight years old.  I also was not financially independent at a younger age.  My father paid for everything.  The themes of this dream as a whole are new opportunities and old beliefs.  I am trying to rid myself of the old in order to make room for the new.

Dream interpretation in a nutshell is repetition combined with applied knowledge.  One needs to keep writing out his or her dreams in order to become a good interpreter.  The dreamer needs to understand him or herself beyond a surface level in order to potentially understand the representations within dreams.  Once one has put forth a good amount of effort in following the steps to interpreting dreams, then his or her life will most likely get better as a result.  The dreamer will be able to find out things about him or herself that he or she never considered previously.  This change in one’s perception will eventually put the individual on the correct life path.        

A Helping Hand During Difficult Times

Life can sometimes throw people a curve ball that they do not see coming.  When this change occurs, everyone scrambles to put the pieces of their lives back together the way that they were before the change occurred.  The only problem with this is no one is supposed to go backwards in time.  Big changes happen in life that the individual can live more authentically than he or she has in the past.  Everyone is going to need advice on what to do during the transition from the old lifestyle to the new one.  Most people do not realize that they can receive guidance through numbers. 

The numbers 111, 222, and 333, are the most common numbers that people start seeing once they come to realization that there something beyond the physical realm exists.  There is usually a positive meaning associated with each of the numbers.  The number 111 can mean that one is synced up with the universe, or the individual is having are good ones.  He or she should explore those ideas further.  The number 222 can mean that one is living a balanced life.  This person is most likely cooperating well with others.  It can also indicate that an individual has a lot of faith in what in current events that are taking place.  The number 333 is associated higher spirits that might be surrounding the individual.  They could be sending love, encouragement, or new ideas.  Some claim that these higher spirits are angels. 

These numbers can also have a slightly different meaning than what has been stated above.  If an individual is falling away from the path that he or she is supposed to follow, these numbers can be seen as a warning to get back on track.  The number 111 can be a wakeup call to pay attention what is happening in one’s life.  The number 222 could indicate that one needs to have faith in the opportunities that are presenting themselves.  It could also mean that one needs to have more faith in him or herself.  The number 333 might be telling an individual try to balance the physical, mental, and spiritual areas of his or her life more effectively. 

Signs can come in any form.  They not have to be numerical at all.  A good way to see signs of what to do next is through every day conversations with other people.  One might disagree with the opinions of others, but pay attention to the topics that are discussed more than what positions the individuals hold.  These discussions will give a person an idea of where he or she should focus his or her attention to next. 

Everyone always has a helping hand available even when no one else is around to be of assistance from a physical standpoint.  All is that is required is for one to pay attention to his or her surroundings.  If one can look for meanings beyond his or her personal intentions, then bog transitions in life will not feel so terrible.  If an individual can stop forcing his or her agenda, then the right answer on how to proceed will eventually make itself known. 

Building a Healthier Future

The world today is extremely fast paced due to all the activities one schedules on a daily basis.  Because we live in a quantity over quality world, people tend to not take care of their health the way that they should.  This will eventually lead to the malfunction of the body.  Once the body starts to fail, then people will not be able live life to the fullest.

My health seems to get worse during the winter months.  My legs become stiffer, and I cannot walk very well.   Sometimes my lower back will hurt so bad that I will just stay in the bed the majority of the day.  I finally decided to do something about these negative conditions a few weeks ago.  I asked my primary doctor to give me a referral so I could go to physical therapy.  I figured that if I strengthened the muscles in the legs and lower back, then I might fare cold weather better in the future.

It felt odd to be in physical therapy once again.  The last time I was in any type of therapy relating to the physical body was after my last surgery in the summer of 2000.  I felt like I was putting on an old hat that I had not worn in years.  I was not sure how this was going to turn out.

The physician that I saw gave me standard exercises for my legs.  I had to move one leg at a time out to the side while on my back.  I had other exercises such as raising my legs in the air as well as toward my chest.  I also had a band tied around my legs and then had to move my legs in opposing directions to fight the resistance put on my lower extremities.

I started to feel the difference in my body after two therapy sessions.  My right hip did not crack as much.  My lower back seemed to be able to withstand some of the colder nights during early spring.  I also began to feel my own aura in my feet on a relatively regular basis.  The symptoms I experience due to having an inflamed pelvic floor did not seem as painful.  I started going to the bathroom more easily than I have in years.

If I would not have made time to go to physical therapy, then my health never would have improved at all.  Slowing one’s self down is a key component to improving one’s body and mind.    Nobody will ever accomplish anything in life by doing the bare minimum so that he or she can move on to the next thing.  Good health takes commitment and patience.  Without those two things, there will be no chance that an individual will improve his or her life.

What Astrology Has Taught Me

The art of astrology has been around for thousands of years.   It is used as a guide to help individuals learn about themselves on a deeper as well as give hints about their purpose for this life time.  Astrology helped bring meaning to my life when old thought patterns no longer served me in any shape or form.

My rising sign is in Cancer.  I have a lot of planetary relationships that involve both Mercury and Uranus.  From a personality perspective, this indicates that I have fast intuitive mind.   The major negative planetary relationships in my birth chart deal with the moon being in the second house.  Because of my feelings towards material security, I tend not to believe in the talents that I possess within myself.  My abilities remain underdeveloped, and I just end up floating through life by being co-dependent on others.  If I could learn to get over my security issues, I might be able to teach others the hidden truths within the universe.

Communication is the strongest ability that I have developed at this current point in time.  The three top career choices that might suit me would include writing, occult studies, and public speaking.  I just need to stop second guessing myself all of the time.  If I could build up more confidence in myself, then I could achieve anything that I put energy towards. 

Now that I have found my purpose for being on this planet, I need to take the necessary steps to actually accomplish my goal.  It is not always easy to fulfill one’s life purpose due to society always judging what is and is not socially acceptable.  Then again, this is part of the challenge of following one’s heart.  We came to this planet to change things for the better.  If everything was perfect, there would have been no reason to have an existence on Earth. 

The Infinite Power Within the Mind

The mind can be quite a tricky thing to master.  After all, no one’s mind works in the exact same way.  We all have different ways of processing information.  The way my mind works seems to be pretty rare and unique.

I have the ability to switch between the conscious and unconscious modes of my mind.  I cannot perform this task manually by any means.  My mind just knows when it is acceptable for certain modes of itself to come into play.  Because I have Cerebral Palsy, I have to hold onto objects to help me move around from place to place.  During this activity, my conscious mind is extremely present.  It needs to make sure that I do not hurt myself while I am in motion.  When I am in a more stationary position such as sitting, the unconscious mode of my mind becomes a lot more active.  Sometimes the images in my head are so vivid that I begin to talk out loud as if what I am seeing is right before me material wise.  When I am sitting at tables in restaurants, I talk out loud without realizing it.  The server then thinks that I am talking to him or her.  It is rather humorous when this takes place.  I will also begin to laugh for what seems to be no reason at all.  The truth is that there is a reason for my laughter.  The unconscious mode of my mind is going full blast creating image after image.  Since the images are extremely vivid, they seem almost like they are present in physical reality.  A lot of the time, my wicked or vulgar sense of humor makes me think of things that are just plain ridiculous.  I am surprised no one gives me any funny looks. 

The only time the conscious mode of my mind becomes more active while sitting is when something negative happens to me.  This might include, my order getting mixed up at a restaurant, a ride being cancelled, and so forth.  The unconscious mode of my mind quickly disappears leaving the conscious mode to deal with what has just transpired. 

Both modes of my mind have their place within me.  Both modes understand how to work together, and that is why my mind as a whole is my strongest asset.  The mind has the ability to create anything it wants, and it also has the ability to give an individual the ideas on how to bring something into existence from a material perspective.  Any person has to power to change his or her physical reality.  All he or she needs is a vision of some sort, and a plan for how to materialize it.
