Benefits of Dreamwork

We are asleep about 1/3 of our lives. So if you lived 90 years, you’d be spending around 30 years in the astral!
We all dream every night, yet most of us don’t remember the many adventures we go on!
What if the events in our dreams were just as important and valuable as the events in our daily life?
Let’s briefly touch on some of the benefits of giving more attention to our nightly experiences.

Guidance For Daily Living

Science doesn’t take into account dream causality; causes also take place in the astral. So paying attention to dreams can help us to better understand the cause and effect in our life, like Joseph having a dream telling him to take baby Jesus to Egypt.
It’s like watching the first two episodes of a tv series and skipping the third episode. The skipped episode is like the dream event we don’t remember, yet it is having an influence on what happens the next day.

So dreams can help us to better understand why certain things are happening in our daily life. They are a great mirror reflecting back to us aspects of our thoughts and emotions, especially those that need to be integrated and brought into balance.
And dreams can help facilitate this integration by offering access to the spiritual wisdom within us to find solutions and make better choices.

Improving Discernment
& Inner Harmony

The astral is a great laboratory and classroom that can help us to perfect our discernment and therefore strengthen the virtues within our heart.
Because dreams are very spontaneous, when we act with the virtues in the astral it means that it is completely rooted in our soul. It means we’ve pulled the weeds out by the roots.
Our experiences in the astral help us to cultivate an inner harmony and transcend physical, emotional, and mental obstacles that we may or may not be aware of.

Exploring the astral not only accelerates the evolution of our soul but also helps us to better understand consciousness, which can make certain connections between the branches of knowledge.
For example, we can name an age old question within each branch that has a connection to the exploration of consciousness.

Philosophy: Who am I?
Psychology: Where do we go when we die?
Theology: What is resurrection?
Science: What is time?

For now, let’s touch on the question of death. Dreams are so similar to our daily life that it can be difficult to tell them apart. After passing away, many souls still believe they are in a physical body and continuously move through the memories of their last incarnation.

Therefore, training lucidity while we are incarnated becomes very useful when we pass away, because then we can consciously recognize that we are no longer in a physical body and can use this period between incarnations to continue to evolve.

“A dream is a short death; death is a long dream”

Could the Mind itself be the next great instrument to help us peer more deeply into the workings of our universe and existence? As we use our mind to explore both sides of our reality with more awareness, certain parts of our mind can become more active, especially when we are in a retreat.
This allows us to have a closer relationship with our higher guidance linked to higher states of consciousness, which can greatly deepen our level of understanding and help us become a better instrument for the greatest good.

During the daytime our imagination is more ‘tied up’ due to the friction of our preconceptions linked to memory; when using our intelligence during the day, we rely more on memory than imagination.

But in the astral there is no such friction, so our imagination’s creativity has much more freedom of expression, allowing many new ideas and artistic inspirations to come to us while we’re asleep, especially when we are LUCID.
