Dream Chat: 08-26-05
(08:16:52) (host-merri) well how are we doing on dreams tonight?
(08:17:19) (diane) remember the dentist dream, merri?
(08:17:29) (host-merri) yes diane
(08:17:46) (diane) well the next night I dreamt about teeth again
(08:18:02) (host-merri) and?
(08:18:33) (diane) someone said i had some kind of 'goober', lol, stuck in my front tooth and
(08:18:55) (diane) she came after it with some toothpick
(08:18:56) (host-merri) was the assistant asleep in the closet again
(08:19:05) (diane) and she drew blood
(08:19:05) (vjh) I had a dream about how I was supposed to be going to training for something and it was like the army. I was behind in doing things I needed to do such as errands. We had to dress up in big boots and heavy army uniforms. And . .
(08:19:13) (vjh) I cancelled the whole thing.
(08:19:30) (diane) no...it was a totlally different scenerio...no dentist
(08:20:08) (host-merri) then what
(08:20:48) (diane) Felt like she had one H of alot of nerve attacking my tooth like that
(08:21:01) (diane) She said it was for my own good
(08:21:32) (diane) because the goober was so ugly
(08:21:50) (diane) LOL sorry, but it sounds so silly!
(08:21:51) (ron) at times words can be
(08:22:17) (diane) Now in real life the next day?
(08:22:24) (diane) here's what happened
(08:23:03) (diane) my step son's wife called to chit chat and said that she was going to the dentist
(08:23:31) (diane) but that my step son's teeth were in worse shape than hers
(08:23:58) (diane) and one of his teeth was soooo bad, that it keeps bleeding
(08:24:47) (host-merri) hmmm, tuning in on the stepson, diane
(08:25:34) (diane) She said he keeps picking at it with swabs and such, and she finds the bloody swabs in the wastebasket
(08:25:44) (host-merri) I hope he is seeing a dentist, bleeding comes from the gums
(08:25:50) (diane) Maybe I was tuning in on him, merri
(08:26:11) (host-merri) looks like it, diane
(08:26:47) (diane) I was astonished when I made the connection to my dream and him, merri
(08:27:26) (diane) They have no dental insurance, so put off going
(08:27:45) (host-merri) it could end up costing more
(08:27:51) (host-merri) if put off
(08:27:52) (diane) I asked his dad to say something, and maybe spot him some cash to go
(08:28:13) (host-merri) good idea and maybe why you had the dream
(08:28:32) (diane) Yup...It is costing more. His dad said it's his own fault because
(08:29:04) (diane) before his company stopped dental Ins. , he had all kinds of time to get teeth fixed
(08:29:25) (diane) and didn';t do it
(08:30:20) (diane) His wife asked my to speak with his dad about it, and about helping fund it
(08:30:44) (host-merri) hope he heeds the warning
(08:31:41) (diane) No, I doubt he'll mention it to Jr.
(08:32:05) (host-merri) your dream is a good example of how we tune in on others around us
(08:32:26) (host-merri) especially family members or someone who is close to us
(08:32:40) (diane) I was astonished. Such a coincidence
(08:32:56) (Lory) No such thing as coincidence, diane. per EC
(08:33:19) (Cris) You were being guided
(08:33:29) (diane) Ok, Lory Should have said, synchronicity. lol
(08:33:37) (Lory) lol
(08:34:11) (diane) I wonder, Cris...I really wonder
(08:34:56) (host-merri) Oh Roz, found a reference to Jacob's dream...have I posted it before?
(08:36:43) (host-merri) well I'll post it again for those who have not attended Genesis
(08:37:06) (Roz) no would be interested
(08:37:08) (host-merri) Jacob’s dream (Genesis 28:10-17)
(08:37:32) (host-merri) And Jacob…lay down in that place to sleep. And he dreamed. And behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven. And behold, the angels of God ascending and descending on it. And, behold, Jehovah stood above it, and said, “I am Jehovah, the God of Abraham thy father and the God of Isaac…And, behold, I am with
(08:38:07) (host-merri) thee and will keep thee, whithersoever thou goest…For I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of. And Jacob awakened out of his sleep , and he said “Surely Jehovah is in this place. And I knew it not.”
(08:39:22) (host-merri) Whether the body desires or not, in sleep the consciousness physically is laid aside. As to what will be that it will seek, depends upon what has been builded as that it would associate itself with, physically, mentally, spiritually, and the closer the association in the mental mind in the physical forces, in the physical attributes, are with spiritual elements,
(08:39:54) (host-merri) then-as has been seen by even those attempting to produce a certain character of vision or dream-these follow much in that: for another law that is universal becomes active! Like
(08:40:15) (host-merri) begets like! That which is sown in honor is reaped in glory. That which is sown in corruption cannot be reaped in glory; and the likings are associations that are the companions of that which has been builded; for such experiences as dreams, visions and the like, are but the activities in the unseen world of the real self of an entity.
(08:42:07) (host-merri) here's a little something on meditation & dreamsMeditation is the way to tune in to a greater sensitivity; dreaming is the way to find out where you are going and what it is going to be like. If you pay attention to and record your dreams, you can find out what you are going to jump into when you die. You get maps to guide your way across the United States; dreams are a map of the patterns you are creating in your waking life into which you are goin
(08:42:55) (host-merri) You can begin to understand from your dreams what it will be like for you when you make the transition. Meditation is also the best method you can use to travel in that realm - on light, with light. Prayer for others who have passed on is light. Prayer lights the way, like focusing a flashlight.
(08:43:32) (host-merri) Edgar Cayce said that your loved ones who have passed on listen for the sound of your voice in prayer on their behalf. If you meditate to bring about that state of awareness of how you travel, you will see in dreams and in meditation the beginning of this awakening and opening of consciousness, when you begin to move with light.
(08:46:26) (host-merri) Through the process of sleeping and dreaming we rehearse dying each night. Just as the rehearsal of a theater production is not identical to the circumstances of the opening night performance, there is enough similarity that valuable training can take place. In discussing the nature of the sleep state, the Cayce readings call it “a shadow of, that intermission in the earth’s experience of, that state called death”. (5754-1)
(08:47:19) (host-merri) Just as the shadow cast by an object is not precisely the object itself, it does give us important clues about the object’s appearance. Sleeping and dreaming give us a nightly introduction into the realm of non-material life.
(08:48:18) (host-merri) One of the most significant of the common experiences is that of reviewing the entirety of one’s life. Every minute detail of the individual’s life is viewed simultaneously, often in a panoramic display. The parallel principle from the readings is that at death the subconscious mind ( the storehouse of memories of all our past experiences), becomes the conscious mind.
(08:49:06) (host-merri) The important thing to remember about dreams in this regard is that they serve to remind us. They show us that nothing is forgotten in the mind of the soul. What else can we anticipate about the after death experience? Again there are many clues from the dream readings. We are drawn to experience with like-minded souls.
(08:49:51) (host-merri) Do we have a body in the after-death state? In the sense of a flesh body with appetites such as sex and hunger, the answer is probably no. However, for some of the dimensions of after-death experience there may be a body in the sense of a vehicle through which to focus consciousness. Such a body might be called a finer physical body, an astral body or an etheric body.
(08:50:26) (Lory) But recognizale to others, merri?
(08:50:44) (host-merri) The point is that any such body is created by the soul because it provides a vehicle for the experiences one needs. It may well be that in the initial periods after death we appear to ourselves to have bodies because we believe we require a body to experience. Although we are infinite, pure consciousness, we do not fully realize that yet.
(08:51:17) (host-merri) yes, I would say so, Lory
(08:51:36) (WalksInSpirit) Grandmother, the Bible says "we shall be known as we ware known." when we get there.
(08:51:44) (WalksInSpirit) *are
(08:51:47) (host-merri) As we move on and grow in awareness after death, we may reach dimensions in which a body as we know it is no longer needed. It is interesting to note however, that in the dreams of most people, the dreamer has a body through which he or she experiences in the dream. This can be likened to our belief that we require a body of some sort in the after-death state.
(08:52:34) (merlin) is that ego talking though?
(08:52:44) (host-merri) As a final note about the quality of life after death, we might consider an uninterpreted dream of Edgar Cayce about the borderland (that dimension of experience just after death). In the dream Cayce found himself in the borderland with his wife and secretary. They decided that they should carry on the work of helping others just as they had in the earth.
(08:53:28) (host-merri) They enlisted the aid of a man they knew from earthly life and he helped them construct the proper building. At one point the man asked Cayce, “But tell me, have you seen any of these people we expected to see in heaven? Because this is heaven, ain’t it?” Cayce answered that he was not sure but he felt they were on the right road! Then they began to have meetings in their new building.
(08:54:09) (host-merri) People came who needed help. Apparently many did not realize that in this after-death state there was work that needed to be done. Since there was no longer the harshness of material life, many souls had decided that all they had to do was just sit around, making no efforts to grow in awareness or serve others.
(08:54:43) (diane) Just like some do here!
(08:54:51) (host-merri) Many had also forgotten who they were. In this dream Cayce began to give readings for people. His work was to help “find out for people who they were, and what they wanted to do!” This dream seems to point out that it is necessary to keep an attitude after death of seeking to know ourselves more fully and of being of greater service to others.
(08:55:37) (host-merri) the continuous circle

(09:00:33) (host-merri) you weren't able to ??
(09:00:38) (Cris) I did recognize people I'd never seen before but mostly because of their auras
(09:01:03) (Cris) That was their identification even though everyone was older
(09:01:27) (host-merri) could be a preview of the future Cris
(09:01:38) (Cris) I just knew who was who but couldn't explain the process
(09:01:46) (WalksInSpirit) Cool, Cris! Maybe you were seeing everyone's Spirit Bodies?
(09:02:06) (Cris) we are old souls or we wouldn't be here searching

(09:02:22) (Cris) lavendar adn blue
(09:02:45) (host-merri) ahhhh, my favorite!
(09:02:58) (merlin) blue and shades of violet are my favorites.
(09:04:35) (host-merri) nice dream Cris, thankyou for sharing
(09:05:17) (host-merri) Roz alot of your dream didn't post, can you repost it?
(09:05:27) (Lory) Beautiful dream Cris. Always so nice to hear of dreams of our wonderful group.
(09:05:42) (Cris) Nice to be a part of it too
(09:06:31) (host-merri) it's been a pleasure to have as part of the group, Cris
(09:06:37) (host-merri) you
(09:07:22) (Lory) I can only remember a portion of a short dream, merri. I didn't even type it for posting, it was so unusual for me.
(09:07:50) (host-merri) that's ok Lory, tell us what you remember
(09:07:59) (Roz) I am with a small number of ppl. we are cleaning ,refurbishing, serving. "THE Authority
(09:08:42) (Roz) said we need to do more of this kind of work in small cells
(09:09:25) (Lory) I wakened crying for help. Remembering why I was crying, there was a snake winding himself around my right leg. I was walking in the prairie, but was not afraid, however, when he crawled up my leg I was thinking he might be after Beau who was in my arms. That is why I cried out for help.
(09:10:14) (Lory) That is all I remember.
(09:11:08) (diane) Snakes in dreams...hmmmm
(09:11:12) (host-merri) does the snake represent danger to you Lory?
(09:11:15) (merlin) sexual
(09:11:35) (diane) merlin reads minds. Lol
(09:11:51) (Lory) Yes and no, merri. My logic says keep your distance, but my heart tells me they are part of God's world and all his creatures are good.
(09:11:54) (merlin) amazing diane
(09:12:14) (Lory) Not sexual to me, merlin.
(09:12:16) (ron) perhaps is afraid that if anything happend to Lory, she won't be able to protect Beau
(09:12:27) (merlin) that's freud
(09:12:59) (merlin) seems everything to him was sexual
(09:13:01) (Lory) Freud was as human as you and me, merlin. He wasn't always perfect either. lol
(09:13:03) (ron) to her = lory
(09:13:52) (diane) Lory, the creature you recognize as part of god's world, was getting too close to you, though you were trying to keep your distance
(09:14:40) (diane) And the snake creature was posing a threat to Beau
(09:14:44) (mark) Snakes mean wisdom in dreams ?
(09:14:53) (host-merri) not always mark
(09:15:05) (ron) more like temptation
(09:15:10) (host-merri) depends on what they represent to the dreamer
(09:15:33) (host-merri) snakes always represent danger to me in my dreams
(09:15:35) (ron) especially if there is a threat
(09:15:49) (Lory) I may have been having some doubts as to my ability to train such a small little dog. Also the snake did not appear threatened or angry, just slowly climbing upward.
(09:15:53) (diane) Maybe that you're worried something unforseen could happen to Beau
(09:16:12) (diane) yes, Lory, doubting yourself
(09:16:42) (Lory) Could be diane. He seems so fragile, but really isn't
(09:16:52) (host-merri) good point diane
(09:16:56) (Lory) He keeps me running, believe me.
(09:17:07) (diane) You're his "Mommy" and want to do your best by him
(09:17:19) (host-merri) but he is still a puppy and depends on you
(09:17:20) (merlin) climbing upward like a tree /kundalini
(09:17:54) (BlackWolf) The snake may represent knowlege in this case, like merlin suggests.
(09:18:05) (host-merri) you are his protector for now
(09:18:18) (Lory) Well, you are all saying things that could have prompted this dream. As you know he will eventually be visiting patients in the hospital with for my hospice work.
(09:18:41) (host-merri) oh that is great Lory
(09:18:48) (diane) Didn't know that...how nice!
(09:19:30) (host-merri) I have heard about a program using pets to cheer people in the hospital
(09:19:32) (Cris) He will be a great goodwill ambassador
(09:20:19) (Lory) The VA volunteer group is really delighted that we have propsed this. No one has ever volunteered their animals at this hospital before and they are anxious to have this program.
(09:21:06) (host-merri) I understand it has been a great success in other hospitals
(09:21:10) (Lory) And this little guy really loves everybody. So indeed, Cris, he will be a great goodwill ambassador.
(09:21:35) (Lory) OK thanks everyone. End of dream.
(09:21:57) (host-merri) lol, thankyou for sharing Lory
(09:22:31) (Lory) yw merri. will keep you all posted. needless to say. lol
(09:22:39) (diane) Petting an animal actually lowers blood pressure, for one thing
(09:23:02) (diane) they're popular in nursing homes
(09:23:04) (BlackWolf) So does feeding ducks and geese. :o)
(09:23:15) (ron) :)
(09:23:20) (host-merri) that's true diane
(09:23:21) (mark) and fish
(09:23:24) (diane) they're hard to pet, BW
(09:23:27) (host-merri) medically proven
