Dreams

[Guest skrubber]

A strange thing happened last night. I was dreaming and at the end of the dream my deceased father sat down with me in a group setting and tried to give me advise about life with genuine concern like he never did in life. You know how dreams are - one offbeat thing leads to another. I wish I could remember the words but it was along the lines that whatever just happened in the dream was an object lesson in life. I am strongly effected by this and am wondering what he actually meant or if it means anything at all.

Some fathers just don't show their true emotions to their children. My own father was very reserved and rarely showed any emotion or signs of love to me. I realized that he really did love all his children deeply. Maybe that is why I try to show love to my children so often.

 

I lost my Dad on Father's Day 12 years ago. I still miss him and know that he always loved me.

 

Take comfort in you dream that he was trying to tell you that he really did care

Ok after this post I'm certain I'll be ejected from the MC for being totally psycho. It was fun while it lasted

 

I believe your dream was an actual interaction with your Father. I feel that when we're sleeping the barriers we establish in our lives come down. That our minds are completely pure of any "rules" and this allows deceased people to contact us. I know that isn't the best explanation but i'm not a very good writer, sorry.

 

As for the message your Father was trying to give you it would not be appropriate for us to speculate. It seems as if he felt comfortable enough in the setting to share with you possibly things he wasn't comfortable sharing while alive.

 

I've had several relatives visit me during sleep and even a young boy who was murdered (that I was close to in life). He stopped by to let me know he was doing ok in death.

 

Maybe your Father will come back for another visit and you can ask him for clarity at that point. If not go with your instinct.

I agree with FourAces on this one. In that it is possible. It isn't what is happening all of the time. To paraphase the cigar line, "Sometimes a dream is just a dream." Even if it is a dream, I agree that it means you are sensing love from him that you might have missed before or not have been ready to accept. If it is a visit, then I wouldn't sweat not being able to remember what he said. Possibly, you weren't ready for it. Or just so shocked that he was talking to you this way that it blanked. As Aces suggested, I would go with my gut on this one and if he did say something to you and you start remembering what it was, but you think that you just putting words in his mouth, trust that you actually are remembering what he said. Also, even if it was a visit and you do remember what he said, please remember that he might not be right. As with any spirit guide, you'll need to taste the suggestion with a grain of salt and only follow it if it seems true for you.

Allright, now we've done it. We hijackers are probably taking your thread all the way over to the religion section.

I'll go back in the other direction with it in hopes of saving it.

 

Our bodies, for yet unknown reasons, need to have certain chemicals introduced into our systems on a regular basis to keep things functioning and in balance. Many of these releases are tied into emotional reactions (most obvious, scary movie = adrenaline rush). Our waking mind doesn't understand the whole checklist of necessary releases, and sometimes inhibits those releases by lack of expression of some emotions. Because we can't get what we need to keep in balance consciously, the body releases the chemicals while we sleep. The conscious mind, in order to keep things tidy, then has to overlay some sort of situation that would have triggered certain emotions that would have triggered those chemical releases.

 

Does a purely physical explanation mean that *what* you dream about is irrelevant? Not at all. It just shows that the subject of your father, or any loved one, can still stir up emotions in you. Whether that scares you or pleases you, continue thinking about him when you're awake, talking about him, even asking strangers what they think. If it brings you to a clearer conscious understanding of your relationship, that knowledge is probably more useful than guessing about whatever message he might have been trying to deliver.

Another possibility is that when we dream about someone, maybe we are having them behave in the dream the way we want them to act (or to have acted) in life. No, wait, I hope that isn't true, because then that recurring dream about my grandmother giving Max Grand a rim job would take on a whole new meaning and I don't want to think about that. OK, never mind. :o

Good Black wild mushrooms, cavier are a couple of foods that often increase my dreams and the 'reality' of them.

 

A year ago, I talked to a gal on the phone, that I did NOT know, who relayed some information from my Father, that ONLY he and I knew of, that occured in our conversation,years before he died

.

And the information was very pertinent to what is going on in my current life! There was much additional information about other matters related to me from my Father. This was the first time I experienced this phenomenon, but was looking for the John Edwards experience for some time.

 

There were times in the past and more present, that I feel the information I am getting is from my Father, who I was NOT close to. My Mother turns out to have been the problem, not my Father.

 

The present information is pertinent in answering how to deal with my Brother's Grandchildren and their educations. It is very interesting for this to occur so many years after studying various activities the brain and mind are capable of. Unfortunately, these'talents' are shut down early in life and I hold organized religions responsible for this.

 

PS There are many supplements based on recent biochemical research, that enhances the brains function including these esoteric ones.
