The secret to processing dreams is to write them down in detail as succinctly and as accurately as possible, and to include every little inference. Eventually dream scenarios will seem influenced by a way that you somehow dove into yourself, but not by choice. This seems to happen because it’s taking place on a level outside the mind’s senses where you get a more profound answer. I call this going through the states. And there are an infinite number of states that we’re continually going through as we pick up this and that. This is not meant to be applied in any materialistic or outer way. We’re to keep returning to what we are, who we are, and how we are. That’s the nature of dreaming into knowing and what dreaming is about.
I find that dreaming into knowing is extremely important today because of the breakdown in the outer, physical world. The events in the outer world make sense in the dream world because they point to how things are shifting, awakening, and transitioning. Yes, you can have a certain direness in the outer, and it can be literal and true. But we are something so much more than this. If we can read between the lines of the direness in the outer, what is perceived is incredible.
Often, the exterior can be a catalyst if you’re writing it up as a dream scenario, and it’s especially true if something in the outer bothers you. If it bothers you, you’re jarred and jerking your psyche for help. You’re yearning and longing for use, and this is a type of incubation too. Often the world inside of oneself does not care about us physically. If the cancer cells my dentist discovered had gotten into the salivary glands, I would not have had even a five percent chance of living. Still, after a horrendous year of having to leave my palate open, drinking liquids through a straw, and many operations, including tissue removal and skin grafting, the physical distress was eventually over and gone, but the ability to let go and actively dream remained.
After twenty years of dreaming I am slowly starting to admit that for the first five years, maybe longer, eight, nine, or ten years, I was a little off when relating and making strides in the dream world because for the longest time I did not ground the dreams to the physical plane. Eventually I came to realize that you have to ground it. You have to bring it back down.
