What's in events and dreams?

New entry (4 March 2011):

Lately (the past couple of months), I have dreams that have similar theme, ie. a feeling of lost or couldn't find my way to a place which I frequented.

In one dream, I was in an elevator. The elevator kept on moving from floor to floor and when it stopped, it was not the floor that I wanted to get off. The elevator moved up and down by itself and I just couldn't find the floor that I was supposed to get off.

Another dream had me walking up flights of stairs and the staircase got narrower and steeper as I climbed (in reality, I am afraid of height and steep staircases). I had similar dreams throughout 2010. Sometimes, the flight of stairs were disjointed and I had to jumped from one to another.

Recently, I dreamt of going to a hotel that I used to go. I stepped into the hotel and realised that it was not the same hotel that I had frequented. When I stepped out, I asked people around for the location of the hotel that I wanted to go, but nobody seemed to know. Then I met a boy who said he knew and asked me to follow him. He brought me to a hill but we couldn't find the hotel there. In the end, I decided to get a cab and head for home.

I wish I could interpret these dreams, are they:

i. merely the reflections of the mind at rest, ie. the subconscious mind re-playing thoughts that are stored (such dreams apparently has no significant to reality); or

ii. some kind of prophetic dreams, ie. appeared only when there is an impending event which is of great relevance to the dreamer. Such dreams can apparently warn of impending danger or even prepare the dreamer for sudden overwhelming good news; or

iii. pictures taken from the depository of karmic energies, ie. an action that is going to happen which is linked to a previous life or early part of the dreamer's life.

Since The Secret, I was really intrigue by the law of attraction; if you keep thinking of something (in a positive or negative way), the forces of the universe will make it happen (one way or another). I think that's why people always remind us to be careful of what you wish for (good or bad), because it will happen.

I believe that when one is attuned to one's soul(or in the process of), it is possible to

... be aware of the law of attraction and seeing how it works. Scientists would call it 'serendipity'. However, to chance upon something, the scientist must have a 'prepared mind' in order to be aware of this 'chance finding'. Therefore, the forces of universe has worked on his 'prepared mind'. If the scientist hasn't prepared his mind for all possibilities, he might have missed the 'chance finding'.

Hence, when one is attuned to one's soul, one is beginning to be aware of every little thing that is happenning in one's life; every event, dream, etc. Prior to reading the 'Secret', I didn't put much thought in the law of attraction. Reflecting on one particular event (incident) happened years ago; a baby snake (black in colour and about 5 inch long) was found in the middle of my living room one early morning. I reacted by killing it and throwing it in the drain (an act which I regretted later). I searched for possibility of how the snake came into my living room. How did it appear? Is it an omen? I asked my sister, who told me that it may be an omen but we don't know what it meant. I then asked my friends and some told me that it could be some sort of a protective force (according to my Indian friends). I took it that way because at that time, I was thinking of expanding my small business and it served as a guiding force for me to think through more carefully about my decision to expand.

Dream is another aspect that I am intrigue of, eg. I once dreamt of gliding above the ocean on a glider, feeling peaceful as I look down at the beautiful blue ocean. At that time, I was involved in a project and we were preparing for a VIP's visit. The review was good and I was so relief to learnt that the VIP was happy with what we have done. Later I found out the meaning of my dream; reflects a sense of confidence and a deep sense of relief. There are many other dreams but I shall not bore you with them here.

Well, I may not believe one hundred percent in the law of attraction but learning about it has opened my mind to be more aware of the unexplained forces of the universe.

  1. Explaining your dreams to someone is usually quite difficult, as things are usually very bizarre and random. :)

    For future reference, I usually fly by innate ability, i.e. without the aid of contraptions. :)

    Personally, I don't really believe in interpreting dreams, omens or laws of attraction.

    The law of attraction is sort of like religion. If it works, people say hah, I'm correct (but they don't have to correct, because you already believe in it!). If it doesn't work, they say hm, you didn't believe/try/think hard enough.

    Obsessing about something would indeed make it more likely to 'appear' in your life. A person obsessed with going to Africa would more likely take steps in his life to eventually go to Africa, as opposed to someone in Timbuktu who's never heard of Africa.

    Hope I don't come off as being a bigot! :)

  2. Hunches (gut feelings) and instinct (or innate ability) do play a role in our lives. Many of us lived by it. Indeed obession has an effect on a person's life and will drive the person to get it one way or another; akin to goals.

    Setting goals (a thought for my next topic)...
