A Powerful Belief in One Third of Being

 

I have been morphed thus far by my collection of experiences. PMR has been the key to unlocking an unknown conscious. This fresh lifestyle has taken a hold of my introverted self and confuses the hell out of me. I was never one to not know what to say or how to articulate my inner beliefs. Now, I have been faced with this wall that voids me of social connection. Instead, my focus has changed and I have taken on the opportunity to challenge myself and tend to my personal thoughts. My conscious mind has been altered, creating awareness of the ability to have the power to control my well-being to its fullest.

My dreamer-self rose to many varying degrees when I altered my life this past autumn. This self continues to rise as I dive farther into who I am and what I believe to be most promising for the mind, body, and soul. I was not fully aware that my dreams are animated before my eyes, nightly, encompassing a powerful meaning. I did, however, realize that there was something halting my mind’s ability to create these perplexing stories. Dreams became so sacred to me that I adjusted my social life in order to feel a fuller extent of these potential allegories.

I believe that my dreamer-self is a main building block of who I am consciously, unconsciously, and spiritually. The fact that I was not acknowledging such a substantial part of my being was quite the problem. I took measures into my own hands and made the choice of lightening my dreams and shadowing a part of my past lifestyle. I started to center before drifting into, what was then, a blank continuum. After altering, focusing, and believing, my dreams began to liven. The stories evolved from simple single base lines with minimal characters to in depth adventures that involved creatures of all kinds.

To be able to dream is one thing, to remember is another, and to lucid dream is something all in its own. Each step takes strength and incredible concentration on what your conscious, unconscious, and intuition can do. You may be a consistent dreamer but not be able to remember when you wake. I believe it is not imperative to know each detail but there is always meaning behind every dream, so in order to grasp that meaning, you need to remember the basics. I am still battling the ability to remember. Lucid dreaming is an awakened dream of mine, which I believe will eventually be obtained. From what I have remembered, the context behind the dreamed visions has ultimately shaped part of my reality. Since I have been consciously focusing on remembering, I see connections between the two worlds daily.

Astin states that “having your beliefs regularly confirmed by your experience is important to your sanity and your sense of well being.” My strong belief in the power of dreams is confirmed constantly within my experiences. This statement holds true with all beliefs, but concerning dreams, they help shape each experience through underlying meaning, déjà vu, and all the arbitrary secrets within each sleeper-self. Since I have grasped my dreams on a level unbeknownst to me prior to Evergreen, I have focused and built on my well-being and lust for life. Because I have awakened my dreamer-self to become more aware of the power and meaning behind dreams, my ability to strive in my awakened state has bloomed and my beliefs have soared.
