DREAM FORUM - Not a dream THE BENEFIT OF TESTING IN DREAM SCENARIOS OVER TESTING IN

THE DREAM : I am sure people wonder about my dream scenarios and wonder how I can spend the time I do on them. This is my answer.

I have socially unacceptable feelings just like everyone else. Somehow I have to find a way to manage them without harming other people so I can feel OK about being me. I want to live in an ecologically friendly way in this world so I cause minimal harm.

In saying that I am a meat eater so animals are harmed so I can live. I find I cannot actually live out in the awake world without causing harm to others even though this is distasteful to me, it is reality.

If you feel I am being unrealistic go out and clean your car. Notice how many innocent insects and bugs you kill on a daily basis so you can get from A to B. Then there are the rabbits, foxes, cats, dogs, birds and kangaroos that litter the roads I travel on each day.

I often feel angry and my anger scares me. For me my angry feelings are like unexploded bombs that need to be defused so they can safely be disposed off. I work actively to diffuse my anger and honestly wish more people were as proactive.

The level of road rage on the road and trolley rage in supermarkets suggests to me many people do not see the need to do this – they just act it out on whoever is in their space.

What happens inside the people affected by this behavior is a download of emotion that upsets their inner peace. I call this emotional environmental pollution and like so many other people, I have to deal with more of it than I want to on an average day.

In the awake world if I vent these excess feelings I am generating the way I want to I am likely to harm myself and other people. I am likely to be misunderstood and I may come to the attention of the legitimate authorities and get myself into a lot of trouble.

By working with my own dream scenarios I can evaluate my own emotional load and know if I am a danger to other people or myself. I can be my own judge and the dreams can be whatever they want to be – they are only dreams. I can have the satisfaction of acting out without the consequences if I choose to.

I can also practice self discipline which is my personal preference. I need to practice so I don’t loose control when I am awake.

When I am dreaming I try and track my feelings by taking mental notes on the feelings that go with each dream image. When I am awake I write down the dream image and allow the feelings that come with the images to surface. I notice the feelings and validate myself by talking to myself and acknowledging my feelings to me.

I call this self talk. I notice my self talk and evaluate how I am tracking in the awake world with the feeling load I am currently carrying. If I feel I can’t cope I get help.

I have read a lot of dreams here on the forum and what I notice most often is that people are not in touch with how they really feel. I hope what I have written here helps people see how dreams can help them know how they are really feeling without fearing their own feelings.

Dream scenarios can assist us all get in touch with our own feelings so we can notice them and react to them with self discipline and self control.

I do this every day and it helps me stay calm in world that can often be scary. I choose to live an intentional life with my emotions well managed rather than a reactive life where my emotions are out of control.

Sweet dreams to you if you have read this far.

Well being in touch with your own emotions is important. Many people cannot put these into words. Generally, if you can sum up your own emotions then you can probably pinpoint what any dream means. Dreams are about your emotions so they will capture key feelings. These key feelings are hidden though in a language of symbols.
