Susan Barnes Dreams are the reflection of the unconscious mind in its truest form. A dream has the power to tell us our mental, physical, and spiritual state through symbols which have a hidden meaning for the dreamer.
All dreams try to bring us closer to our inner-selves by allowing us to experience feelings and scenarios that we would not experience while awake. A dream can be a warning, a goal attained, an idea, or a fulfillment of something desired, or wanted. Dreams that transpire within our unconsciousness usually come from events or experiences which have happened during the present day or in the past. Our subconscious minds take in everything that happens to us and around us constantly. Every thought, feeling, and deed done is a part of us forever. The mind never forgets. Your mind should be thought of as a sort of biocomputer-storing and assimilating millions of facts, feelings, and emotions from this moment back to the time that you were brought into existence. A dream is a form of communication between your conscious mind and your unconscious mind. It serves as a barometer that tells you exactly what is going on in your life at the moment. It also serves as a gauge that can warn you that your present course in life is contradictory to the path in life that you should be following. When we ignore the messages, our unconscious sends us through dreams. Then, we begin to manifest the conflict through our body’s realities in: obesity, depression, illness, and self-destructive habits. When we begin to change our behavior patterns and rely less on the material values of life such as getting a new car, making more money, being with the “right” crowd, or leading a completely hedonistic lifestyle (like drinking too much, sexual promiscuity, eating too much, indulging in drugs, and caring only for our own pleasure), we then become isolated from ourselves. There is nothing wrong with experiencing a completely self-centered lifestyle. Everyone must at some time or another experience all the different sides of life. However, it’s when you make a totally materialistic lifestyle your only lifestyle that you get yourself into trouble with your subconscious. The reason you are overweight is inside of you. You are the only person who can change your present state of being. Other people may help you, but the answer to your problems ultimately depends on you. In order to understand your unconscious better, go back to when we first talked about your mind as being a busy bio-computer and think of this: Who has been programming this computer and what type of software has the programmer (or programmers) been feeding it? You program your own mind with your own thoughts, actions, and experiences. Other people and outside influences have the capacity to create input. They will program you with their own thoughts and belief-systems and may ultimately succeed in preventing you from realizing your full potential. Unfortunately, we are becoming victims of other people’s programs when we are children. As children, we are automatically open to most kinds of suggestions that are wittingly or unwittingly bestowed upon us. It is up to us now to look back upon our past experiences, sort through them, and realize the programs that entered our minds through the belief-system of others and examine them. A type of mental housekeeping effect can be manifested by powerful dreams. All of your memories are an integral part of you; they are what make you unique. Your memories also play an active role in your dreaming life. They can keep you grounded in negativity or they can be used constructively to help propel you to new heights of consciousness.
