Ascension
Dream
By Ortrun Franklin (Jan, 2016)
You have heard of resolutions and setting goals for the New Year, but “dreaming?” Before explaining the “why” of dreaming, let me begin by sharing a variety of dream types. Some are depicted from my personal experience while others are adaptations from the Dream Moods website. Daydreams occur between the sleep and awake state of consciousness. Your imagination can carry you away. False awakening dreams cause you to go through daily routines thinking you are awake, only to find yourself waking again and realizing it was just a dream. Lucid dreams are those in which you realize you are actually participating in a dream. Most dreamers wake themselves up. Some others have acquired the skill to actively participate, which allows them to influence the direction or outcome of them. Nightmare dreams are disturbing and usually cause you to wake up feeling anxious and frightened. Nightmares are the subconscious mind alerting you to pay attention. This type of dream may indicate a fear that needs acknowledgment, a life situation to be confronted or a response to conscious life trauma. Recurring dreams more than likely occur because unresolved life lessons need to be identified. They continue to repeat themselves until a resolution is attained.

Happy New Year! Another year is over; a new one has just begun. It’s time for making New Year’s resolutions, setting new goals, and “dreaming.”
Dreams are your friend. Each type of dream has its purpose. They may be happy, sad, intense, frightening, resolving or creating. Did you know when affirmations are made in the alpha state they are 100 to 200 times more powerful than if they are spoken in the awake state? Healing dreams provide information regarding your health. Through the body/mind connection, physical symptoms can be identified before actual physical symptoms occur. The Ancient Greeks called these dreams “prodromic”. Prophetic dreams (precognitive or psychic) are dreams that foretell the future. Your unconscious mind knows what is coming before your conscious mind has pieced things together.
