Nightmares and the Paranormal

While nightmares don't automatically appear under the category of Paranormal, one dream I had does. I relate the Nightmare While Awake: A True Paranormal Experience in my new blog Your Weird Dreams.

I invite you to click on the links to read about the dream. I would also like to invite you to submit your weird dreams to

weirddreams@mail.com

- they may be edited for space, but if I think they are weird enough (see previous posts for the types of dreams I consider to be weird), they will make the blog.

You don't have to leave your name. You can remain anonymous. People may respond with their own interpretations, or you can leave your own.

Prophetic Dreaming

While dreams in and of themselves don't necessarily fall into the category of paranormal activity, prophetic dreams do.

Dreams take us into the deepest recesses of our souls where they expose our innermost thoughts in symbols and messages. If we remember them, we attempt to interpret them and hope to understand what those symbols and messages mean to us personally.

But what exactly is a prophetic dream?

A prophetic dream is a dream that enlightens you with information that will later be useful. If Aunt Hilda dies in your dream then later dies, you have just had a prophetic dream.

Does dreaming of death always indicate an actual death?

No, sometimes death in a dream means change – profound change, not just something as simple as a haircut, but something life altering, something that changes your life as you knew it into something completely different. Think of it this way – the old you has been replaced with a new you – the old you has died.

Prophetic dreams will usually awaken you. Of course, at the time you have them, you don't realize how prophetic they are, but if you write them down and include the date, you will understand the significance of the dream whether it was prophetic or not.

I have experienced numerous prophetic dreams and I write about them in the article, Can Dreams Foretell The Future? I invite you to click on the link.

In another article I wrote, entitled, Interpreting Your Dreams – Dream Interpretation, I give you the tools for learning how to interpret your dreams as well.

Sweet dreams!

Your Sixth Sense Can Help You "KNOW" Yourself & Live Your Dreams

Can you trust your dreams to provide answers to life's mysteries? Have you relied upon your own ESP to guide you, or do you believe that ESP or a sixth sense belongs only to psychics?

If you feel that you have no psychic abilities, you may wonder why others (some of them unscrupulous) seemingly have a gift that you were denied.

I'm here to tell you that, in all probability, you were born with the gift of extra sensory perception. BUT you might not be able to access the gift that some people refuse to acknowledge having.

I have more good news: everything you need to know about you is already a part of you – your ESP is just waiting to be excavated, examined, and utilized. Your sixth sense is intrinsic. What that means is that you were born with the ability to KNOW yourself, to know your wants, to know your needs, and to know the answers to every question you've ever asked.

So why look outside yourself for answers that lie within? In other words, why consult psychics to get answers you can unearth yourself – by using tried and true SUCCESSFUL exercises.

How? By connecting with your Higher Consciousness or your Higher Power (God) through meditative exercises that bring you closer to knowing who you really are.

Even more exciting is that you can also access that information through your dreams.

Before we delve into your dreams, though, try this exercise in developing your extra sensory perception – completely relax your body and your mind by putting yourself into a comfortable position. Completely focus – to the exclusion of everything else around you – on one question you want answered.

Better yet, read the master of ESP techniques, Harold Sherman. In his book, How To Make ESP Work For You (as of this date the book is still available through Amazon.com), Harold Sherman explains, step-by-step, his relaxation techniques. If you filter out the noise around you and focus on the exercises, you WILL find the answers you seek.

In my article, ESP Works – Harold Sherman Shows How, I explain how Mr. Sherman's techniques worked (and still work) for me. By practicing his methods of relaxation and by being receptive to images, thoughts, and sounds that enter your mind, you open yourself to the possibility that answers to questions you wanted to know were in your mind all along.

When I wanted to know about whether or not I should divorce my husband, for instance, I sought answers in a dream. For that, I "incubated" a dream, relying upon dream researcher Gayle Delaney (author of Living Your Dreams {linked above}), for her expertise. By the third night, I had a dream that implied I should divorce my husband. Not wanting to base my decision on just one dream, I asked for more guidance. The following night I dreamed again that I should divorce my husband.

However, after the second dream revealed only a vague reference to divorce, frustration set in. I made this final plea: God, you know me. You know I need things spelled out in black and white. I'm not going to make such a major decision based on only these two dreams. I need YOU to tell me, in no uncertain terms, whether or not I should divorce my husband.

On the night of the third dream, my husband – in the dream – handed me a legal-sized document with these words boldly written in black and white across the top: "DECREE of DIVORCE."

You might think I hired an attorney right away. But I didn't. Eventually I did divorce him, but I always remembered my SPECIFIC question and the answer relayed in black and white. I received my answer in exactly the form I needed, in exactly the form I requested.

So here is one GIANT hint about getting answers to your questions. When you ask for a dream or for a sign, be specific in your intentions. If you use something as common as a butterfly for your sign, make sure you request a certain type of butterfly. One unambiguous question I asked pointed to this explicit answer, outlined in the article, Miracle on the Rock.

My dreams have helped me numerous times. They can help you too, if you can get into them. And you can by following the techniques of these two pioneering authors in ESP and dream research.

If you want more information about how to incubate a dream, click Interpreting Your Dreams –Dream Interpretation. Use whatever form of ESP you can find to access your subconscious and your superconscious. You'll never have to look outside yourself for answers to your most private questions, because they have been within you always.
