The spiritual idea behind dreaming is something we take for granted or not thought about at all. Still, then there is a clue that reveals the nature of all things from understanding the meaning of a particular dream but the process of dreaming itself. In Genesis, we read that God created all things and that He created man in his image. If we are a creation in God’s image, then we must be something like God. When we look at ourselves, we see three parts: a human being, a mind, a conscious body, emotions, a feeling body, and a physical body. Unlike God, three bodies in one, we don’t experience them as three separate bodies at once, much like H2O water. It can be present as a gas, liquid, and solid, all present on earth at the same time.
Now to the topic of this blog, the dream in the mind of the Dreamer. Our conscious mind can dream while we sleep, and when we do, we create a world with people, places, and things. We experience emotions, and we share the dream as a real event. In doing so, we create a world. We become the creator of that world. In that imaginary world, the characters have a life of their own, making their own choices. They are free to do act as they wish. They can even frighten us, the Dreamer, and we have nightmares because we created beings with free will. People in your dream never consider that they are a figure of your imagination. When we are awake, we never assume that we are a character in the vision of a Greater Dreamer Being, God. Hence, when we dream, the Greater Dreamer dreams that we, the lesser Dreamer, dream. An example of this phenomenon would be dreaming that someone was dreaming and watching the dream.
An example of this phenomenon would be dreaming that someone was dreaming and watching their dream. Let us create a different scenario. What if in the dream, a person realized he was a character in your dream. Would that provide for the awareness of oneness with you the origin of the dream? At that point, the character in the dream would be now watching from your viewpoint. Now turn your attention to sensing God dreaming of you.
