My dreams are getting more and more fucked up every night. They are becoming so vivid that I have to question if they actually really happened or not. I heard that stress makes you dream more..err, or is that sleep more. Whatever is going on, my brain is baked, and apparently, so is wbmTime is getting closer to my high school reunion. I had planned on

When I first moved to CA from NY, I had HORRIBLE nightmares for months... They were psychotically twisted, excrutiatingly painful, calculated to be psychologically damaging, and often quite revolting and violating. They were definitely not created by my brain, they were from an outside source. I couldn't and wouldn't have ever imagined some of the things in these nightmares. Thankfully, there were a few good dreams that were just as psychotic and twisted, but calculated to please and entertain me... they were scripted to perfectly appeal to my sense of humor and had me hysterically laughing and astounded at their cleverness

Oh goodness. Perhaps I should have been more clear. My dreams are not that fucked up, I just mean they have been of strange subject matter, and that they seem more real than made-up. I haven't seen anything traumatic yet. Luckily, I still have some control over them. I find myself dreaming of the past lately, a place I seem to dwell on while awake as well. I've yet to have an actual nightmare.

But your suggestions are noted.. and as always, I appreciate your insight.

The dreams I had were of VERY strange and atypical subject matter, seemed VERY real, in fact I could not wake up out of them, I was a prisoner in them and my housemate had to wake me up a couple times a night when I was screaming in pain

It sounds like yours are a much milder form. Probably because your living situation is way better than mine was, so you're not as vulnerable. We have aethereal/psychic immune systems as well as physical ones!

I'm suprised you forget about the interconnectedness of the spirit and the body, the way the brain is really an electrochemical antenna of sorts that sometimes tunes in stray and unwelcome 'signals' ... medication (herbal and pharmeceutical) and mind stretching exercises both affect the brain in real, physical, measurable ways in terms of electrical and biochemical flow, and both approaches are really part of the whole same thing.. it's all relative really... I'm of the belief that a lot of psychological maladies are caused not by physical/medical things, but that certain physical/medical things can allow, invite, and/or facilitate unwelcome presences/, or distort the welcome presences/signals so as to cause psychological disturbances. The tuning mechanism is a very sensitive one, and the analogy of brain/spirit to a radio isn't really congruent, so it's really hard to convey what I'm trying to explain via words... Medicines/herbs have been used for millenia, often in conjunction with meditation or ceremonies to affect peoples

I totally understand what you mean about something you've known but not been conscious of. Some things are just built-in to us, and we just have to unlock the information...

Persoanlly I view this physical life as sort of a larval state... Our bodies are just boosters for our spirits... We are meant to exercise our senses and minds which as much dynamics as possible, in order to be as free as possible in the next stage

Re: dynamics: I take dynamism VERY seriously

Haha

Dynaman!!!

Actually, an inherent feel for the principles of dynamics are essential for proper refined enjoyment of anything, sensual or spiritual.

Pain is normally caused by a nerve reaction which kicks in when certain parameters or 'red-zones' are approached or reached, sort of an alrm mechanism that has been incorporated into biological life forms to protect their physical integrity so that they could try and avoid activities that might jeopardize their chances to reproduce effectively. Of course, pain can be induced by harmless things which weren't normally encountered in nature thousands of years ago, or by relatively harmless things which evolved defense mechanisms to cause pain in other creatures to prevent them from being eaten by these other creatures
