Message Subject Experts in Lucid Dreaming: A Question

Post Content
I can go from having 'float n fly' dreams, where I'm anywhere from floating through my hallway to jumping higher and higher until I fly, to nightmares.

Such as, I helped hide the body someone else killed, while wondering throughout the dream if I had anything to do with the murder. I don't really watch a lot of whodunnits, but I hate feeling like I was part of some horrible crime. Or, it's an all out demon dream and it's attacking either me or a loved one. I never see the damn thing, I just 'know' it's there and it's wreaking havoc. And that feeling is the WORST.

I figure it must be feeling a sense of guilt in my waking life, but who doesn't have that from time to time. I just wish I could turn off the guilts, and have more of the high flying type!

I totally understand. When addressing the dream experience the neurological development of memory, perception and self-awareness is done with repeat participation in our 3-5 naturally occurring dreams.

The psychological side of the dream experience is what Jung and Frued covered because they lacked the fMRI research we have today to see how the brain develops neurologically with dreaming.

The psychoanalytical influence on dream culture is dominated right now due to those old early sciences. What we do gain from it is the nature of our dreams to have a psychological component where we have fears in our dream-replay that come from waking life influences.

For many the psychological inhibitors derived from beliefs, misconceptions and fears of the dream experience makes them shut dreaming down entirely. Which is a shame because when these psychological traits are released and resolved you get to have more exploratory and adventurous dreams without the negative influences but I call that house-cleaning.

If we don't house-clean we end up dreaming in the wildness of our subconscious mind and that tends to produce the dreams we don't want. But we are having them because of influences in our waking life.

I do active dream programming and can dream anything I want as a result. Naturally we develop mindfullness because it becomes so self-evident that waking world influences are impacting our subconscious dream-replay so one learns to filter out the negative shit ie... garbage in/garbage out with dreaming turning one's attention to more positive and rewarding influences making the dream experience what you want it to be as a dream artist.

I like to think we all want to have awesome dream experiences from time to time and learning to take in positive influences and filtering out negative ones is just self-evident for seasoned dreamers.

A classic example is watch a horror movie may invoke nightmares as the subconscious mind is going to replay that influence to make sense of the experience. This is why quite often if you like horror movies and ask a friend to watch one with you they may say no, it will give me nightmares. We intrinsically know things here influence dream content so the obvious choice is choosing what to dream based on these influences and changing the influences to something you want to experience. Maybe a vacation from travel videos, or a sci-fi adventure from watching a fun sci-fi movie. Lot's of ways to influence fun dream content knowing it replays in our dreams.

That is an area I really hone in on as an active dream programmer because I love fantasy, sci-fi, comedies and like seeing that paint my dream content from time to time for a fun adventure.
