Welcome to the Making of you. I'm Alexandria, founder of the Mastery Project and your Transformation Hub. And now this podcast. The series is dedicated to harnessing your unique potential, the tools, insights, wisdoms for purpose and personal empowerment, and of course, having fun becoming the architect of your own life.
Okay, let's get into it. This is episode 25 ways dreaming helps you. Okay, well, my number one is the dreaming that we do not out the window when we should be concentrating on work, the dreaming we do every night when we go to bed. Now, okay, I might have people shouting already from the audience. I don't dream. I've never dreamed. All right. Okay. Some people literally are dreaming, all right, but they actually don't remember their dreams. So I've got something for that. So I'm just going to talk about the nature of our sleep state and then I'll get back to that question.
Every day when we walk around the physical world, we've got a lot of stimuli, all right? We've got the. The whole physical landscape in front of us. We've got the linearity, we've got the time space continuum up close and personal. And we've also got the need, of course, to measure, to control, to protect, and often feed up to 85% of our visual stimuli through our mental body. Okay? So through what we think, what we want to control, and what we judge.
[00:01:43] Now, this is a very different situation when we are asleep. Now, one of the biggest things is literally our eyes are closed. So when we sleep, we are not receiving all of that sort of information overload or navigation of the physical space. Now, that in itself can really help us get into the other aspects that make up ourselves. So, for example, getting into our heart space, allowing our conscious connection, all right? The heart being the portal to all that is and our greater expression, our interdimensional nature, as well as our mental or physical life and nature. So sleep is very, very helpful to almost get all our ducks in a row. In a weird way, it's a time where we reunify with all our aspects and the gateway, as I've said, to our expanded consciousness. So it is actually just as important as being awake. All right? And I know a lot of people will say good quality sleep is something that everyone loves to benefit from. And it is definitely for most people, something that can elude them in their life in different times and at different stages.
[00:03:05] So, yes, if you don't dream, just remember what you can do before you go to bed at night is consciously choose, use your free will. And say that you want to learn from your dream state tonight or that you want to align with it and you would want to remember your dreams. Now a lot of things that happen in dream state, if you consciously choose them before you go to bed, so in the sense you're choosing to interact, all right, you're making that statement for yourself, to yourself, then it can very much improve your ability to get takeaways, shall we say, from your dreams. If you're not a classic person who is visualizing or has a real sense of the whole journey of a dream.
[00:03:57] So for me, number one is understand that dream state is really precious and very useful to all of us. And secondly, be open to communicate with the state of dreaming. So with your full consciousness and your free will about how you want your to experience and align.
[00:04:20] Now, dreaming also is renowned for supporting a greater degree of alignment. Okay, so that means it's a rebalancing state, it's a state of rejuvenation. It's a state where your physicality has a rest. But really that rest is all about understanding balance to a greater degree. So again, you can before you go to bed at night, say that you would like to benefit from that balance.
[00:04:47] I am, in all my work, a great supporter of people consciously talking to themselves, all right, Acknowledging what they're choosing and also working in alignment with their consciousness. What is self loving and what is for their highest good. So when we tell our consciousness or voice what we want, then it's going to be heard. It's going to have an energetic pathway created. So it can be incredibly beneficial. And if you do want to dream and you don't, then please try that technique when you go to sleep tonight and see how you get on. So consciously link in and say that you are embracing and surrendering to the perfect insights for your highest good and the highest good of all.
[00:05:36] Okay, so number two. Well, dream states, because it's the overlap between your heart and your mind. And that mind and heart then move into your greater conscious alignment. Of course there's going to be a sense of messaging from your interdimensional self and from your true expanded nature, not just your physical self. So as I've said, when you sleep, the physical aspects are turned off. You're not looking at the physical forms. You're actually in the greater consciousness of. What if? Why not an expanded relationship with the universe? Now this can be incredibly constructive and inspirational and also stimulating to your imagination when you're awake and your intuition, your sentience, because that energy can then Be stored, if you like, as a flow of options that, you know, you reconnect with when you wake up. Einstein spoke of the dream where he saw a sledge going down a hill in the snow. And this dream actually prompted him to make great strides in his theory of relativity.
[00:06:56] Edgar Cayce, he was called the sleeping prophet, literally. And he had a lying down meditative state that he used in order to create remedies for his visions and to support his clients in their healing process.
[00:07:13] Edgar also wasn't the best student in the world. So what he used to do when he was younger, he would put the books from the classes that he was struggling most with, and he'd stick the books under his pillow and he would actually instruct again his consciousness, his greatest self, his unified self. Please, can you help me, you know, learn everything in these books. And so when I wake up, I'll be able to understand all the material and I'll do better in these classes. And it certainly worked for him. All right. So there's absolutely no reason that that particular technique wouldn't also help you in your learning or help you in finding solutions through listening to the messaging in your dream state or the information or senses that you get when you wake up immediately.
[00:08:04] Now, the reason that the dreams will often get, you know, dissolve as soon as you get up is simply because the physical nature of your world is reinstating itself. And the external authority, of course, is becoming more important and more sort of prevalent all around you rather than when you're surrendering and asleep. You are in the space of being in alignment with consciousness that isn't physical.
[00:08:30] So, yeah, I think it's really good sometimes just to put a pen and pad next to the bed and to write down just a word or draw a. Draw a form or a picture or a symbol, anything that's going to help you with the messaging that you are receiving. And the reason is because these messages are from your greater consciousness, which means they aren't being passed through your mentality. And the mentality always has a tendency to try and match up what's happening with something that we already know, something we've already experienced, to make it a little less scary or a little less unfamiliar, but. Or to match it with habitual thinking. So the problem is the mind can limit the raw and amazingly expansive messages of dreams. So it's much better just to interpret them as best you can in their original and simple form, and then go from there as a stimulus to understand the message for yourself and for your next step or Opportunity or what you're receiving or what you're being given guidelines or ideas about.
[00:09:38] Okay, so number three, I believe that dreams also will really help you with a new balance point. If you're going through a traumatic circumstance, you might say, yeah, you get nightmares. Well, actually that isn't too far off the mark. Some people who have nightmares are simply having difficulty with processing their emotional body, with processing that and the relationship with their mental body. And the mental body wants to control or the mental body is trying not to process or is resisting. And as a result, the emotional aspects in a lot of dreams can get quite distorted. Now if we look at the dream books, for example, people seeing having a nightmare about their teeth falling out or being chased, there's all belief systems associated with that. And I think a lot of the dream books have actually a lot of wisdom in them in helping us simply navigate the information. So actually, I don't personally believe that higher consciousness messaging is ever meant to, to make us fearful or harm us or frighten us. But it can be that we have locked on in our consciousness to a shocking or traumatic event. And as a result, we're finding it a little bit difficult to let go. And it's often because our limited self actually doesn't want to let go of it. It wants to continue to beat up and Dr. Energy rather than resolve it or find a new balance point that is more supportive. So hopefully you can say to yourself, I am creating a new balance point if you've been through a recent trauma or difficulty before you go to sleep. So use your free will to choose and say you want to navigate that journey effortlessly or joyously or in a simple way you can understand how to implement when you wake up. All right? So again, communicate. And it goes both ways. Communicate with your greater consciousness and also, as I said, have that pen and paper beside the bed to be able to understand the messages in their raw form or their simple form or immediate sort of impact of them. And I'm a strong believer with the messaging. Don't kind of put the mental overlay when you wake up, all right? Just simply sit with it. Sit with the image, image, sit with the words, sit with the, the immediate take from what's happened, all right? Because these takeaways, they are first and foremost heart centric. They're from your feeling space, in your intuitive space, rather than from your mentality. All right? It might be that you choose action as a result, but it's definitely to sit with the feeling of what they represent first and foremost to try and work your way through to understand what the message is, is okay, so number four, intention. I look at intention as being a heart centric concept. I think it's very helpful to set an intention before you sleep. Now, John Lennon used to actually say he wrote songs in his sleep, all right? I believe it is an incredibly creative, fertile zone, all right? Because literally it has no limits. It's connected, of course, to your greater consciousness and there are no limits. So it is a beautiful way to be open hearted and open minded. And if you go, yeah, I could. I'd like to create things, you know, in my dreams and then wake up and, and have the benefit of them. Then please. Your intention harness that it is self loving, is for your highest good and the highest good of all. And give it a go. All right? So if you want to learn a new painting technique, or you want to learn how to ride a horse, or you want to find out how to improve your work aspects, whatever, ask and see what happens in that infinite unlimited space.
[00:13:41] So my last point today is when are we also dreaming while we're dreaming? Sometimes when we're not paying attention at work, outside, looking outside the window. All right, drifting off. We're also capable of dreaming very effectively in the sense of envisaging what is of service to us and expansive through meditation and through contemplation and through walking through nature. So I say to people, just remember your dreams and what you're aspiring to are the first step to any authentic change. So it's very important to keep whatever you dream at night alive in your daily life as well. To show you that marriage between the immaterial and material and that they're both really important into the becoming of you and creating success and fulfillment in your life.
[00:14:33] Well, it's been my great pleasure today to talk about dreaming. And if you like this content, then please don't hesitate to go to the website yourtransformationhub.com and themasteryproject.com and I look forward to inviting you to episode 21. Thank you very much.
