I haven't visited this site for quite a while, and it's so great to have people who are sharing their inner experiences in the dream worlds. I wanted to recommend a resource that may be helpful. There's a publication called Soul Adventure Magazine. The most recent issue is devoted to Dreams. There are quite a few good resources in there including a story by someone who faced his fear in a dream. There's also a technique to explore your dreams, as well as information about a spiritual guide or the Dream Master who can assist you with dream exploration. They also offer a free book on dreams. The link to download the entire magazine PDF is here: https://www.eckankar.org/eck-soul-adventure-magazine/ There may be some tips or tools in there that can provide some insights for deeper dream exploration. You can also download other issues which cover the topics of Past Lives, Present Lessons; Miraculous Coincidences; and Life After Death. All issues are complimentary.
