Dreams of Awakening

[Dodo]

Ive had dreams in the past which had deep spiritual meaning and feel. Some include Leo, others were with Eckhart Tolle. I guess figures which I have faith in that speak Truth and I would "believe them" a little even when I disagree with what they say, because at the back of my mind I know I might be missing something.

In short, in the dream with Eckhart I was at one of his talks, then went to speak to him behind the scene and he gave me his time. He touched my heart and said some encouraging words. I could physically feel that touch. In the dream with Leo, I was talking to him through skype and he was showing me his normal life - wife, apartment, ukulele or some other instrument etc.. He looked like one of those Enlightened people who have extra-ordinary lives. At the end of our little chat, he guided me to realise that I was not the character speaking to him, but the entire dream. I then merged with the dream and moved as the whole dream, not as any character. It was epic. 

Today I had a dream with another such character - my mother. We were standing there and talking about something in the dream environment and I was inquiring about Heaven. She told me - you are in heaven now, but only as a guest. You will be kicked out. I didn't like these news, I started "stomping my foot" and act like an entitled brat, because I wanted to stay in Heaven - why do I not deserve it and others do?

Then I ran away from her and started running through some dark corridors... I did that to be alone, and once I was alone I started praying ?..  After the prayer I continued running and realised I am dreaming..  but everything around me was dark and I lost the dream, maybe I was "kicked out" because the part of me that doesn't deserve to be there had awoken.

Could heaven actually be that dream plane I was in? Or perhaps it was just a dream with a message about the actual heaven. Either way, it was the first time I prayed in a dream - ive meditated before but never prayer. I was running away from a vicuous monster, then i realised im done for, I climbed a tree and meditated on one of its branches - the monster never came.

What do you think/ do you have any of your own Spiritual dreams / dreams of Awakening / dreams with deeper meaning? Do share, I am very interested

@Dodo  It sounds to me like that dream represents some genuine new insights being formed in your mind.  In particular the recognition that you were the whole dream, not just your 'self' within it.  From that perspective, which part of yourself do you think the vicious monster may have represented, and what might its motivations have been in chasing you?

Here's a tip I've learned over the years - it's possible to revisit a dream during wakefulness in order to analyse it further.  If you close your eyes and conjur a mental image from the dream, you can continue to interact with it in your imagination, ask questions of the characters, further investigate certain aspects etc.

Yes but these dreams I explained were old, from more than a year ago.. Now was the one with my mother. 

The Leo dream was profound, but I havent had such a waking experience where I become the whole waking reality and move as it.. I guess the dream really is all me, but waking I am yet to realise that even if I might conclude it by reasoning and intuition.

The monster obvs wanted to destroy me ? it was a representation of my fear if pain/death. Sometimes vicious dogs appear, that time it was a monster. It was very interesting how when I closed my eyes to mediate in the dream, the monster no longer felt real. Lol, it seems to me the dream was just trying to make me surrender and stop running. 

 

I often remember dreams (i remember those vividly and they were a year ago). Not sure how your tip would work, since I will just be imagining it as i have done countless times. Its really just a memory, I cant go back to the exact images, it forms a new image when I remember it, no?

Always remember to contemplate. Even in dreams. End of I AM is the end of awakening. Take your time.
