Rewrite your Dream

[glorymist2]

I have been quickly going through the various posts here and have noticed a lot of people get stuck on a dream or wonder how to broaden themselves beyond certain experiences in the dream state. Here is a very old technique - - and if it has already been posted here somewhere - - I apologize for the repeat.

When you awaken from a dream that you wish hadn't ended quite the way it did - - for whatever reason - - be it a fearful dream or one that simply ended too soon or one where you wished you had become more involved in the dream in some way - - simply go in and rewrite your dream. I am NOT suggesting here that you go in and re-enter your dream. I am suggesting here that upon awakening - - and this can be done some other time too if you wish altho right after the dream is the most beneficial - - close your eyes and begin to simply replay your dream. Take it right up to the point where you wish it had gone "another way" - - for whatever reason - - and from that point on - - simply rewrite your dream in your own preferred scenario. Once done - - simply turn it all loose back into Spirit.

This gives you distinct practice in all kinds of things. You can rewrite dreams so that you get more proficient in becoming lucid. You can rewrite dreams where you are running from something / someone and you turn to fight - - and win. You can rewrite dreams to any end that you wish - - and this gives Soul "practice" in handling It's own dream world. If a dream is troubling in any way - - rewrite it !! It only takes minutes.

Soul learns by experience - - and this gives It experience - - to the extent that you can devise the dream experience to your own preferences. Over time - - this practice can bring about a tremendous broadening of capabilities and awareness. You can rewrite to recognize triggers - - ask for assistance - - solve and resolve issues and problems - - etc.

In this sense you are beginning to take greater control over the entire dream state. You can direct this in any direction you wish. As with anything - - there may be karmic implications involved. If you begin to use this technique to take control over someone else's life or to promote power over others - - things could get rather sticky when it comes time to balance all of that out. If someone attacks you though - - you have the right to defend yourself - - in any way you deem necessary. This is a good technique to use to get better acquainted with defending yourself in the dream state - - in many ways - - under many conditions. You've all seen many DVD's and such. Use some of the ploys and tactics used in defense in movies. This is *your* dream state. You can make it anything you wish.

Try it for a while. See what happens.

I'm curious as to how this would increase your lucidity in dreams...and how you could control someone with this technique...it doesn't seem to add up.

I'm also slightly perturbed by the thought of "rewriting" my dreams. Dreams are often a warning! Or a secret message about yourself from your sub-conscious. By rewriting, I feel like you ruin that. You begin to block those messages.

hmm, yah I can agree with ya Mirrazh, however this is to increase lucidity and become more aware in these states, which than leads us to taking control of them and honestly for me it helps me to fully understand my sub and all its limitations and barriers, than I seek out more profound information in these states....

[~~section8...]

So do you literally rewrite your dreams? How does that increase lucidity?

[~¤LilacSky¤~]

because you are taking control of them, so when we get into that lucid point we can do whatever we want and I usually seek out more answers, like what is god for example, im always looking for answers, however everyone is different so when you become more lucid you may do what you always wanted to do sky dive for exp.

Yes yes. I feel my lucid dreams are more sporadic than I would like. I wish I had them more often because it seems to be my only option at the moment to have OBEs.

So you do recommend this rewriting method?

Sorry I did not get in a reply earlier. I watched the board after this entry - - but no one seemed to even read it - - so - - I stopped checking. Sorry again.

Rewriting a dream can help us rehearse the triggers we can use to help us remember to become lucid. If we often see the same scenery or the same symbols in a dream - - we can use one of them to trigger becoming lucid - - and we can rewrite the dream for a week or two or three to help us get used to viewing that symbol as a new trigger.

You can rewrite the dream any way you wish - - as long as you do not try to gain control over someone else's behavior. You can do that - - but I wouldn't suggest it.

You rewrite dreams to help yourself react more beneficially and positively to this aspect of Self. Rewriting dreams is not THE tool to use. It is 'one' tool to use. If it works for you - - it is a wondrous tool.

It really helps if we react badly within a dream. If we make "wrong" choices - - if we react in fear - - if we get lost - - if we cannot find something - - if we cannot find an answer or a specific person - - etc. You can rewrite for success. For better understanding and beneficial behavior in the dream state.

You can use it to help remember dreams - - by practicing to say right before you wake up - - "I will remember my dream experience." Go back in and rewrite a dream - - and just before you actually awoke - - rewrite it so you give yourself this prompt.

It's an open-ended tool. You can develop it as you wish. It only need take a few minutes to do. Sometimes not even that long. Using this tool a lot of times is more beneficial than doing it once for an extended time. If you focus on one facet or goal - - it even becomes more effective.

Does it always work? No. But it works much better the more we use it - - as with any tool. And it shows LIFE that you are trying to take more control over your own life and reactions. That - - often goes a LONG ways in interacting with LIFE itself.
