Mind connection in a dream & remembering a dream

[lilly]

Is sort of like mind connection which is taking place in a dream possible? I know that here are people who had shared dreams with other people (who were part of their PL) but is it possible also in real life? When another person is awake?

I never thought about it until I told my boyfriend about family related dreams I had in the past. In one dream I saw my dead family member´s son (his partner had got pregnant only few weeks before his death and I did not know about her pregnancy at the time) and in another one I saw my another family member dying (she was living with us and got a heart attack and a stroke this night but I was not aware of it before I woke up). My boyfriend who is usually very careful and sceptical about all things which cannot be explained, suggested (suprisingly, I must say!) that it could be some form of mind connection?! (with my parents, as they were aware of both situations, pregnancy & death)

Another odd thing is that I had nearly always remembered my dreams. Sometimes I had memories of every detail of my dream, sometimes I just could remember only few details or emotions I got. But after I moved away from my childhood home, I nearly do not remember any dream at all, unless really strong emotions are involved! Sometimes emotions is all I got after waking up and I think that it is needless to say that being anxious all day without knowing the reason is very frustrating! :grr:

What do You think about it? Just a coincidence or it could be something else? Has anyone else had similar experiences? Oh, and an advice on how I could get my dreams back (or rather memories of them) is more than welcome!

Lagrima (a member here) wrote a book titled Chosen to Believe....based on her MANY dreams. You might enjoy it. I did.

From what I understand about synchronicity, I think that the state of mind that you are in makes a difference. In other words, we have to be open in order to receive the impressions that we need to receive. Descartes suggested that the pineal gland received impressions from the soul and that from there, the homunculus (the little man or woman in the Cartesian theater) could direct the body. Okay, well I believe now that we can probably do away with the homunculus but the pineal gland is where we generate melatonin as well as serotonin and I personally believe it is very important in connecting to higher self (which is pretty much what Descartes said). More than that though, I believe that brain wave states are what allow us to receive the kind of synchronistic impressions that make reality feel more like a hologram where space and time become compressed and reintegrated as a fractal reality. However, stress or fear is the mind killer. Beta brain waves (13 hz cycles per second and up) more or less lock us into the body in the 3rd dimension (i.e., our gut) and keep us in a survival-based mode of thinking. We are literally too self-involved to remember (i.e., consciously bring to mind information that can only be accessed holographically or synchronistically).


We know that the brain does quantum computation at the level of the dendrites and memories are not stored directly in neurons therefore proper brain wave states (i.e., frequencies) are what can unlock memories. Most people know that children 4-7 or 3-7 are most likely to remember past lives, whereas as older individuals, we are more likely to carry around the repressed images of passed lives (especially if they are traumatic or ended traumatically). Aside from hypnosis, rhythmic calm breathing will release the root chakra (i.e., the coccyx and the muscles that we unconsciously flex to create body armor). From there, energy will rise up to the second chakra level and your mind will unlock the more helpful alpha brain waves and theta brain waves. You may want to research or look into binaural beats to help stimulate your production of these beneficial brain waves for your health and well being in general. With regard to your specific goal, I believe that higher consciousness depends on stacking all of these brain waves harmoniously (this has been documented amongst meditators) because the brain wave of enlightenment is surely the gamma wave but it is so fast (like a lightning bolt) that it will surely be unattainable unless you are deeply rooted into your feet and your feet are deeply rooted in the Earth.


So perhaps you should meditate using binaural beats before you go to sleep and / or right upon waking to sychronize both of your cerebral hemispheres with your heart, your pineal body, your coccyx and ultimately with the Earth and the larger universe. I apologize for this long-winded answer but I don't know any other way but grounding into the Earth and then taking the chi or kundalini back to the pineal gland after releasing all fear.

Thank you for your answers! Deborah, I will definitely check this book out. And thank you Big Herm for such specific answer :thumbsup:

Many things can be said and discussed about this subject. In my opinion nothing of any consequence is going on or happening unless you can say to yourself "This is a dream" or "I'm dreaming' or something similar


This is of course a completely different type of dream to a lucid dream


I can do it sometimes but not all of the time. I think it may be a matter of educating your brain to recognize when you are dreaming.

John, I usually understand while dreaming that I am in a dream. I use this "ability" to wake myself up or change course of the dream when it starts to get nasty

Hi Lilly,


Yes, when you are sleeping, it is entirely possible to tune in to other people's thoughts and emotions and incorporate that into your dreams. This happens more readily for me when I am close to someone, both emotionally and / or geographically. People talk about being on the same wavelength with someone else. In my experience, this is not just a figure of speech, but a real phenomenon.


Yes, this has happened to me. For instance, I dreamed of what was happening in New York during 9 / 11, only to wake up on the opposite side of the continent to see that it was, in fact, really happening in real time and not a dream.


I have found that the best way to remember my dreams, is to let myself wake up naturally, and then ask myself:


What was I just thinking about?


Not so easy to do when you have to wake up to an alarm.


Hope this helps.

Thank you so much for your reply, Blueheart. I just never thought about it before. But it is good to know that others in this forum have had similar experience as I did.


Soon I will go to my childhood home for some days and I am very curious how it will affect my dreams


For remembering my dreams...oh well, there has been some progress. I remember some of my dreams. I do not know if it is because they have been so weird or because I wanted to remember them so badly. Anyway, I keep a dream journal now as well.
