Thread: Enlightening Dream

I had been interested in spiritual learnings before this dream but I have to say I was at the beginning stages of truly asking questions and receiving insights. My fierce died in a car accident when I was 23. This is when my world collapsed and I realized for the first time that nothing was truly what I thought it was. I broke out of my box quit collage ( I was only doing that for my parents anyway), and decided to travel and get away from all the memories. No one was going to step in my way. Most people didn't know what to say to me. Not many could relate. The worst that could happen had already happen. So I left with $800 in my pocket and a one way ticket to St. Croix. I loved it! With Joshes death my fears of life disappeared. When I was 33 I had my first daughter. My travels had brought me to Costa Rica. Living my dream life that I never knew was possible I had my first spontaneous LD when my daughter was 3 months. A friend who sold banana bread on the beach in Dominical had told me of Carlos Castinada and the ability one can have to be aware in the dream state. That night I had my first LD. This is when I realized that reality it within me! That nothing our senses touch are solid. This helped me to understand that God is within. I no longer had to believe what was told to me, truths would be shown. I was doing a few group meditations and I was learning Reiki. What was really doing was learning to trust myself. I realized a I had a strong aversion to religious terminology. A few nights before the dream I was laying with my daughter outing her down for a mid morning nap and I felt myself just wanting her to go to sleep so I could go do other things. Then I saw my self from a higher perspective. I had been practicing a sort of perspective shifting meditation. Where I would use my dream consciousness to see the life situation from a different perspective. I would be a bird flying through the sky, a dog walking past me on the street. I have another post on here called " Clear light perspective" that explains hat in further detail. The course in miracles came to me after the light dream on a visit to the states when my oldest daughter was about 3 years old. I went to Barnes and Noble and it was on the sale rack. I picked it up and turned to the bookmarked page "The dreamer of the dream". It was as if I was reading a letter that I wrote to myself a long time ago. It just so happen that was Easter weekend and I started the lessons when I brought it home. Later I found that The Course in Miracles was of Jesus.
