I remember being little and having nightmares, often thinking i was awake id get out of bed and walk to 1 of my 2 bedroom windows, just that one always scared me but in the beginning I'd walk to it anyway, and different demonic entities popping up and scaring me or I'd get sucked out, the details are hard to remember all these years later. I'd have scary dreams I'd be stuck in and it seemed impossible for me to really wake up. Sometimes Id just shut my eyes and scream or I'd wake up multiple times. It didn't happen more than usual, I think most kids go through this early in life. Then one day I was being chased by something, I can't remember the details or what it was but I clearly remember turning to it and standing up to whatever it was exclaiming "I'm not scared of you" and since then I've never had a nightmare since.
I'm not entirely sure why me or any kid goes through this 'initiation', it seems necessary on some level for some reason but it's interesting some peoples nightmares continue into adulthood and even get worse while others outgrow it. I believe the entities in my dreams back then while blurry were very real, there to remind me that while I may not remember what came before this life, that there are other dark dimensions that exist on this plane. I believe while I was in dream state there were most definitely angels of some sort protecting me, and subconsciously as scared as I was i think I knew that they were with me and I couldn't be harmed. Not everybody has that protection, some people are harmed and it's very scary to realize that it's completely possible.
I now keep a dream journal, seems dreaming is not as vivid as when you're a kid. I've found since I started eating right and especially lots of dark leafy greens my dreams have been more vivid and I'm having them every night. I have friends that are on all kinds of Rx medicines and explain to me they don't dream. It's sad. I've heard people that smoke green lose sight of dreams but when I smoked over the year daily I was still getting dreams come in loud and clear. I personally have never put much stock in dream interpretation, I've analyzed my dreams over the past year and a half and I've concluded they aren't anything more than random thoughts based on what happened the night before. This maybe different for different people, especially those more tuned into their psychic abilities. A girl I knew whose grandmother was a psychic was a firm believer that her dreams had some deep meaning but when she told them to me I just saw her twisting the interpretation to give significance to her belief. Of course what they meant to her is more important than what they meant to me. I was never intended to be the receiver and I can only speak on behalf of my own dreams.
What do you think? Are dreams really that significant for everyone or if they aren't significant for one person do you think they can become more relatable to 'real life' over time or is does it just depend on the person? hmm..
