Last dream I had last night involved being at like best buy and one of the guys fixing my family's computer got frustrated and actually damaged it more and the hoped we wouldn't notice. Some huge asian guy, like 7 feet tall. I confronted him just because he needed to be involved in the resolution process of fixing the item but he wasn't having anything of it and pulled a gun on me at point blank range and fired. I moved my hand to divert the barrel but I had the impression that the bullet when through me because of the guy's wide eyed stare after he fired and how he didn't struggle when I removed the gun from his hand. I didnt feel a bullet so I didn't check myself. The dream ended as the store manager did not want to get involved becuse of the gun, and an old actually crazy client of mine wanted me to a sign a sheet handing power of attorney for the dispute over to her - I considered it for a second and then ripped the sheet up . I think the dream was another power related dream.

What's interesting is for the past year and half years, I've probably had 6-7 dreams involving guns being fired at me at rather close range. Each time I never get hit (or perhaps get hit unknowingly).

I hope this doesn't affect me if someone actually pulls a gun on me in real life lol.

I quit smoking cigarettes (again) just within the past few months so I find that in my dreams I'm often looking for a smoke from someone, and it's often there that my jumping off point of recollection comes to me. A little ironic, but I'll take it.

I think as caycegal said, as with anything it's intention, I think if we start forgetting our dreams sometimes, we wake up without a memory, and it's easy to get into the habit of sleep being a dark place of just "rest" for our tired bodies and minds without a lot of excitement. I think a lot of forgetting has to do with the veil and the work we do in our dreams, the learn/teaching we do that's 4D+ that we can only access subconsciously yet at this stage. Substances and things we ingest have a lot of effect on dreams (minus the setting of intentions) - I've smoked marijuana for a long while so I think that adds a depressing affect upon dreams, where as when I used to drink alcohol, it would always end up with very vivid dreams. Eating certain foods before sleeping can affect how we dream too, though I think a lot of that is the unconscious sleep-interpreting indigestion.

Anyway, as I said, I've only been dictating my dreams for a week. This was my 3rd successful attempt out of 6 or 7, and I had a clear and amazing experience. So it comes very highly recommended as a practice! Prior to me making the actual regular attempts at intention, I was definitely noticing that almost all of my dreams occurred "after school" or "after work" in often similar building structures with lots of mystery. This was confirmation to me that I was teach/learning/"working" in my dream world so now I'm really curious where I go, and eventually it would be great if I could set me intentions to do specific work and maybe help specific people? I'm not sure. I spend a lot of time "after work" at my old job where I still care for many people who work there and had an irrational attachment to seeing the place do well, to the point where I martyred myself. So I'm very interested in the phenomenon and I will definitely keep you guys informed if I have anymore exciting and uplifting journeys or messages!

When I smoked a 1-4 bowls a day for multiple days a week for a year a few years back in my medicinal marijuana days, I would never dream or at least never remember my dreams. I've maybe smoked twice in the past year due to the anxiety it started to produce now. My pothead friends describe similar dream effects. It's interesting to say the least. On the other hand smoking pot definitely helped me think outside the box. It's an interesting herb

I've had a few dreams that could have been mistaken for nightmares (what is a nightmare anyway? lol) but on further consideration and analysis they were just a re-experiencing or the un-doing of a knot of fear or a fearful thoughtform.

and even though the emotional tenor of that dream/experience was one of fear/anxiety/relief-in-waking-up, the 'aftereffect' was not one of self-doubt or undermining ... which allowed me a accept the experience for what it was - the undoing of fear through the re-experiencing of it, and seeing it for the 'dream' or imagined reality that fear really is.

does that make any sense lol? I had a dream to show me the effects of fear were unreal, by experiencing the emotion of fear and then waking up to see that the fear had no 'reality'. Yah, convoluted, I know : d

but yeah, emotional tenor is always the first place to start in diagnosing a dream and what the significant self on the other side of the veil is trying to communicate.

Quote:Eckhart Tolle puts it very well, I think: Drugs such as alcohol, pot, etc. can help quiet the mind by taking us BELOW thought. (I guess that means it returns us to a state something like 2D.) Through meditation we learn to go ABOVE thought, where thought is still accessible to us as a tool but no longer rules our lives. (4D and above.)

I still don't understand what role thought plays in the higher dimensions - or why we need to learn to "quiet the mind." Guess it'll become clearer as I go along.

My husband has a bad back and insomnia so it's a medicinal fixture in this house - my uses for it have dwindled and I've tried to pull back a bit but he gets a little defensive. Hard to balance "doing what's best for me" and "not making you feel like a fool for making a different decision".

I ran out of the restaurant along with everyone else. As I was crossing the bridge towards the city that surrounded it, I saw two large pits in the dry lakebed filled with a purple ooze that was apparently acting as a portal for the transient demons/parasites/disease that were killing everybody. Not only was there an intangible disease coming from them but random creatures were showing up everywhere as well.

Soon everything started flooding and whatever was in the purple ooze was contaminating the entire water supply and the whole city. More and more people started dying.

What I saw later in the dream shocked me: People started intentionally breaking the ground beneath them and bathing themselves in the water. In the dream, I started looking down upon everyone like they were absolute morons. Everyone was intentionally killing themselves with the disease that laid within the water. People waited in their cars for the water to rise and as soon as it hit them they started screaming in pain. As the waters rose higher and higher and got closer to me, I begged to exit the dream and at the very last moment I did.
