Hostile Dream Interpretation

It’s pretty easy to think that dreams are merely manifestations of the sub-conscious mind; over the years though I have learnt that there are many types of dreams. Some dreams go far deeper than others; of course there are the kinds of dreams that simply come from the sub-conscious mind, but even these types are steeped in Symbolism. Dreams form an essential part of our existence, and they affect our daily waking lives in ways few would imagine. It is their ability to influence our decisions, our emotions and eventually the course of our lives that becomes an important aspect of understanding our dreams.

DemonOf all the various forms in which dreams can arrive, I have found the most insidious to be the manipulative kind. I don’t merely mean nightmares here; nightmares are easily marked by their heart pounding nature. The manipulative kind, tend to have a hostile feel to them, not necessarily threatening as such – but as though your best interests are not a concern. In such dreams I have felt my very being pushed aside, as though my mind, body and ego are in the way, and that a core aspect of myself is being sought. It’s like being submerged – forced down into unconsciousness against your will. As this happens there is an intangible presence, which seems to hang over your etheric body. Years ago, the strength of this presence led me to believe that someone or something physically arrived in the room with me. As I became more aware of the non-physical realms I have learned to understand that these entities hang almost in a suspended manner, just above you – or sometimes around you. They are present in a non-physical form, perhaps in an adjacent realm. It seems to me as though these beings do not really distinguish between the external realms and internal realms. They hover half in your mind, and half in whichever realms they occupy. Perhaps to them, entering a persons mind is similar to how we see a street. The street being our perceived realm, on each side stand buildings – any of which we can enter. But even as we enter a building, we are still physically in the same space the street occupies. I suspect they can’t access our minds that easily though, as otherwise it would be a far more regular occurrence.

 

Demons

Over the years I have experienced this a number of times. To start with it was extremely fear inducing – my dream-mind would envision the arrival of these entities as a vision of an intruder in my room. I would be powerless and unable to move, seeing someone indistinct moving around. Often my awareness would then fall into darkness, and I would later remember nothing of the event, other than the presence and the fear.

It is the fear that gives them their power. Maybe they feed off it, as it the movie Monsters Inc. or maybe to them fear opens our minds up to allow them easy access.

More recently these occasions happen far less often. Though now I have learnt how to push these entities away. I have read of people who – when faced with this - suggest filling their very being with love, and maybe even projecting it towards these entities. Love in this manner calms the mind, it moves the spirit away from the mind and the ego; it emboldens your very essence. During meditations, at a certain point, it is possible to feel the body, mind, ego and spirit as separate aspects. I have found that it appears to be through our mind and ego that these entities seem to enter, and if one drifts away into the etheric body, you can expand your “self” and create a “pushing” force. I don’t really understand how this works, but it does seem to repel these entities. Somehow slipping away from your mind and ego denies them access into your mind and dreamscape.

I have a feeling that it has a lot to do with taking direction over your etheric body. That as you move your etheric body around in different directions, it results in accessing different aspects of yourself, or maybe different realms of reality. As you lay in bed at night, and slowly drift off to sleep – at a certain point you can at times feel your body fade away, although meanwhile your presence remains. There is a physical sensation to this; you can feel your body in a lighter manner, but this isn’t the physical body. Try visualising moving this body – your arms or legs - and you will discover the sensation as though your arms are moving, even though your physical arms remain still.

This is an aspect of our non-physical body – if you visualise yourself growing tall – you will feel yourself expand. With practice your will be able to move up and down, or roll over.

A part of our mind, call it etheric mind – or Spirit – exists in this manner. It is an awareness that moves about with the non-physical body, and it is in this place that it is possible to slip away from the intentions of those hostile beings. Sometimes I think their agenda must be quite petty, amounting to little more than vandalism or ransacking. Perhaps others have an over all plan, and manipulate our minds to achieve certain aims, which form a small part of an all encompassing incomprehensible plan. After all, they exist in realms in a manner which we do not, if they can move from mind to mind, and see humanity as an interconnected network of thoughts, emotions, memories and dreams – then they have a very different view of humanity than that which we posses.

Dreams

Clearly though, we retain some sovereignty of self; these entities can’t indiscriminately enter our being at will. Their game then is to trick us into allowing them in – fear is a good tactic as far as they are concerned…it leaves us feeling powerless.

For some reason I am reminded of the old tail of the Three Little Pigs and that strange wolf…
