Ok, well first off I would like to thank Sylvia Browne for her insight into the world of sleep and what it means.  I just finished reading her Book of Dreams , and now realize how much happens in our sleep!

Some of you may not believe in all of this but just keep your ears and hearts open as you read this, and see if you can relate to any of it.

When we go to sleep at night, our spirits leave our body (just as they do when we pass away) and many things can happen.

Some of us take trips to the OTHER SIDE, which is where we go in between each of our lives here on earth. Here are the five types of dreams:

1) Prophetic Dreams : These dreams are ALWAYS in color and are always in a logical sequence.  You are dreaming of something that has not even occurred yet, however before we enter each life, we ALL chart out every detail of our lives so that we can learn from these experiences.  The HALL of Records is where all of our charts reside, and sometimes we can take astral trips to the OTHER SIDE during our sleep, and actually access these charts. Ever had a psychic dream? This is what is happening! (By the way we are all psychic, it is just a matter of opening up our Auras and accepting it).

EXAMPLE: I had a falling out with one of my friends and we had not spoken in 6 months.  I had a dream that we were at some event and I ran into her and we stood there hugging for 5 minutes. When I woke up it felt so real, as if I had seen her the night before.  Two nights later, I ran into her at a club and even though I thought she disliked me, she stood their hugging me for a few minutes just like the dream.

2) Release Dreams : These type of dreams are strictly for keeping us emotionally sane during the day, and are a release of the anger, frustrations, emotions, and fears we have that reside in our subconscious.  These dreams usually make no sense at all and are put together with a series of events and locations that are jumbled all over the place.  A lot of the time they are represented by Archetypes, which are symbols and are not to be taken literally!

EXAMPLE: A mother on 3 seperate occasions has dreamed that each one of her kids has died. Again, this is worse case scenario where your subconscious mind travels and in no way does this mean your children are going to die. All it means is that during our conscious hours we would not even let our thoughts go there for more than a second without being terribly disturbed.  Release dreams can be nightmares as well, but all they are are our subconscious minds releasing our fears of a worst case scenario.

3) Wish Dreams: No need to explain this. This is exactly what it sounds like, even though sometimes there is a deeper meaning as to WHY you want these certain things. Usually we should pay attention to the emotions we want to feel when we get that certain item, and then ask yourself why you want to feel like that.

EXAMPLE:  Jake dreamt he got a brand new sports car! I am sure we all dream of wonderful materialistic wants! But pay attention as to WHY, and in Jake's life the reason he wanted this was because he was constantly being walked all over and nobody was noticing him. Thus, he wanted attention, which led him to NEEDING a brand new, hot car.

4) Information and problem-solving dreams: These dreams help us resolve problems or issues that we didn't know how to resolve during our waking hours.  Whether our spirits travel HOME astrally or find the answer on earth, they are getting it during our sleep.  This type of dream happens in a logical order, just like prohetic dreams.

EXAMPLE : I actually had this happen to me about a few years ago. I could not find my spare key and had been looking for it for days so that I could open my car. I went to sleep one night and dreamt that it was in my closet in one of my bags in the front pocket.  Sure enough I woke up in the morning, reached for that bag in my closet, and found the key! This is just a minimal example of problem solving during the night.

5) Astral Visits: This is actually one of my favorite types of dreams because it just shows you that our spirits never die.  This is where we get to visit our loved ones both HERE and on the OTHER SIDE. We can astrally travel to see anyone we would like to, and when you wake up feeling as though you have spent time with a loved one, well guess what, you have!  When you feel yourself flying in a dream, not by plane, you are experiencing an astral trip.  This type of dream happens in a logical order. A lot of times when a loved one has passed, they come and visit us through these dreams, as I am sure many of you have experienced this.

EXAMPLE : Both brother and sister who live in different states both had the same dream on the same night about their late father. They both dreamt that they were sitting in their old kitchen next to the father in his chair.  He looked at both of them and said he was fine.  This is an example of an astral visit that both the brother and sister took together. Remember, in the spirit world, there is not concept of time and space, so anybody can be together within the blink of an eye.

Have any of you had SLEEP PARALYSIS?????? This is where you feel like you are awake but cannot open your eyes or move, or sometimes you feel a large force on your chest or body....this is simply your conscious mind becoming aware of your spirit returning home to your body after a nights sleep. If the conscious mind accidentally becomes aware, it thinks that maybe you are dead (dont worry nothing can happen to you), so it goes into temporary paralysis until it understands what is going on. You can say a simple prayer at night asking that your spirit have a safe return to home when u awake. DO NOT be afraid, you cannot phsyically get hurt from this!
