Dreaming is Healing?

[Plenum]

sometimes in our busy lives, the first thing that we skimp on is sleep. Enough sleep. Enough quality sleep. Enough sleep to dream deeply enough.

Here is what Ra offers on the repairative functions of REM sleep:

86.12 Questioner: Is there any other function of dreaming that is of value in the evolutionary process?

Ra: I am Ra. Although there are many which are of some value we would choose two to note, since these two, though not of value in polarization, may be of value in a more generalized sense.

The activity of dreaming is an activity in which there is made a finely wrought and excellently fashioned bridge from conscious to unconscious. In this state the various distortions which have occurred in the energy web of the body complex, due to the misprecision with which energy influxes have been received, are healed. With the proper amount of dreaming comes the healing of these distortions. Continued lack of this possibility can cause seriously distorted mind/body/spirit complexes.

The other function of the dreaming which is of aid is that type of dream which is visionary and which prophets and mystics have experienced from days of old. Their visions come through the roots of mind and speak to a hungry world. Thus the dream is of service without being of a personally polarizing nature. However, in that mystic or prophet [who] desires to serve, such service will increase the entity’s polarity.

I can definitely associate with this. When I first started doing night shift work many years ago, there was a difficult period of adapting. Combine this with the fact that I started using caffeine to keep me awake - this further interfered with the natural sleep and dream cycle.

it's like in our society sleep is seen as mechanical, and something that happens between 'work phases'; it is not seen in any way as a holy encounter of the self with deep self, and the act of communication that is the revelation of dreams.

so yeah, value one's rest, one's sleep! it is healing when dealing with distortions that we have not fully comprehended or seen for what they are.
