Dream Clothing
In the physical world it is difficult to accurately judge all of the important factors in a given situation. Some things never go as planned and a few things defy rational explanation. This is because of the hidden factors that are hard to determine as well as the human factors of strength of will, character and determination.
We can be as objective and materialistic as possible and entirely misjudge a person or a situation. In the end it matters just as much what is in the heart of a person. How much resolve, determination, and will to live that the person has.
These factors do not express themselves within the physical world but they do express themselves in the dreamworld or the astral world. In our dreams we find ourselves in situations that relate to significant areas in our physical life.
Each dream involves a particular type of energy and weakens us or strengthens us in that type of energy. By monitoring our dreams we can determine if we are gaining power or losing power. Each dream is an accurate reflection of the situation as it exists exactly at the time of the dream.
At waking hours the situation may have altered in some fashion but probably not significantly. Positive outcomes are liberating and expensive in nature. They indicate the flow of energy is favorable to us and we are gaining in personal empowerment over that energy or situation. It may take 20 dreams over the space of one year to resolve a contested astral situation and determine the final outcome.
Continued conflict leads to recurring dreams. Negative outcomes are restrictive and confining in nature. They indicate the flow of energy is against us and the final outcome will be less than we hope it will be. In this type of dream we are losing power. There is an area in life where we are not as effective or powerful as we were before.
At the time of the dream a new astral connection is made or an old one is severed. This alters the circuitry within the astral and the current will flow through the dream until a new point of equilibrium is established. physically generated and stored up energy will be released as an energy exchange within the dream. When the energy flow stops the dream ends. This energy will either flow for us or against us depending upon our own level of energy.
Our dream bodies or astral bodies indicate in a general way the level of power we have at the time. Dreams are very symbolic and individual. However, certain things are fairly standard in the way that they appear in dreams.
If we appear grotesque, wounded or distorted within the dream it indicates a serious loss of energy and lack of control within a particular situation in life. We have no control in these types of dreams and in the areas of life that they represent. We are acted upon or reactive instead of acting on others. This includes dreams in which people appear as animals like cows, horses, wolves etc. When a person appears as an animal in a dream it means that at that particular level of the astral the person has the same awareness and that of the animal. For example when people appear as cows in a dream, at that astral level these people are only concerned and aware of food or animal desires.
When we appear naked in a dream we have enough energy reserves to function and survive as human but not to alter events within the dream or in the life situations they represent. We are able to barely hold onto our humanity. The actions in these dreams are compulsive, instinctual and generally beyond our conscious awareness. We are merely participants or machines. Our nakedness indicates we are weak and vulnerable. It does not mean anything sexually in the generally understood manner.
I make a strong distinction here with sexual dreams in which it is desired to not have clothing on and to be sexual with another person. This is the basis of tantric love practices which we will explore later.
To have clothing indicates we have risen above the purely instinctual level of energy and that a certain amount of human awareness is available. To have clothing is a sign of empowerment and of energy reserves. We can exist and modify our environment to a degree.
The type of clothing is symbolic of the energy within the dream and of the situation in life which it reflects. In a general way the closer the clothing matches what we currently wear the more power and influence we have in the situation it reflects.
If the clothing is out of place, being inappropriate for our current lifestyle it indicates we are working on unresolved issues from out of the past that were repressed long ago. In this type of dream it is important that we are getting empowered within the dream and not being weakened. To become weakened in this type of dream is to withdraw even more in physical life. It means going backwards. To become empowered means a form of healing is taking place.
When we dream of somthing in the past it is a dream of letting go. The old connection has broken and we become aware of it as it breaks. We have dream awareness of the creation and destruction of all energetic connections. But we are not aware of them after they are formed.
