Can Our Dreams Solve Problems While We Sleep?

 

Yes, because in dreams the filters are removed so that we can what is real—and that dreams are more sensitive signal detection devices than our daytime mental states. What could account for this sensitivity? Read on about the “Power of Intent in dreams.”

A CALL FROM THE SUPER-CONSCIOUS?

By David Masters - As it turns out some dreams are more than experiences of the day senselessly replayed; psychic garbage to be dumped. Sometime they are also more than veiled memos to yourself from yourself. Dream research indicates dreams can be also be spiritually evolutionary. Dreams can give insight into our past and portend our future both as individuals and as a race of people. The wide range of metaphysical knowledge – be it informative, precognitive, or revelatory – available in dreams, indicates an elevation of super-conscious activity from a source...

​

Anyone that has had a “lucid” or waking dream knows that in many ways dreams simulate reality, thus the dream-state is often not distinguishable from the waking state from the point of view of the dreamer. At some level, dreaming can be a sleeping hallucination consisting of mental images, similar to the mental images of daydreams. Thus, dreaming is a type of imagining, unless it is a type of pointless imaging. In the Mental Matrix there are 2 possible architects of our dreams and images. Since there are 2 possible architects (God or Evil) of dreams, what affects the unfolding and the substance of our dreams, is the source of psychological/spiritual states that are active within the dreamer.
 

Looking up the word “source” I found this in Roget's Interactive Thesaurus:

​

Synonyms: account, agency, aim, antecedent, author, basis, beginning, causation, consideration, creator, determinant, doer, element, end, explanation, foundation, genesis, ground, grounds, incitement, inducement, instigation, leaven, mainspring, matter, motivation, motive, object, occasion, origin, prime mover, principle, producer, purpose, root, source, spring, stimulation

Antonyms: consequence, effect, outcome, result

 

Consider what all these synonyms point to… Can you agree, that within each of us is portal to an architect of our own mental Matrix — operating from deep beyond our conscious view - a source that determines what we dream—and can you agree that “it” is undeniably intelligent?

 

Dreams have enlightened the visionary, the scientist, the philosopher, the artist, the statesman. Now, however, the awakening seems to be occurring more often, and to more people. The ability to remember dreams and describe the memory is uniquely human and what occurs while our outer consciousness is sleeping reveals amazing potential. In fact, history illustrates that remembering dreams (Einstein’s theory of relativity) can advance humanity, as well as the individual.

​

The creative genius is mindful of dreams, able to incorporate super-conscious into his or her waking work. The list is indeed impressive – from Danish physicist Niels Bohr who conceived the model of an atom from a dream, to composer George Frederic Handel who heard the last movements of The Messiah during a dream, from Elias Howe who received in a dream the image of the kind of needle design required for a lock-stitch sewing machine. All of our lives have been enriched because these people connected with the source of super-consciousness in their inner minds.

​

Researchers believe the increased super-consciousness activity prevalent in the outstandingly creative will increasingly be experienced by all of us. Objective dreaming reveals the inner mind's intuitive range in several remarkable ways. 

Intuition is the direct grasp of truth. While the outer, waking conscious mind must discern truth through reasoning and direct experience, intuition frees man to draw upon timeless super-conscious truths. These are transcendental truths. They exist independent of physical differences, regardless of age, race, nationality, culture, while being relevant to all whether ourselves, our neighbors next door, or the strangers half a world away. Colerdige’s Kubla Khan or Shelley’s Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus, both arising from their authors’ dreams, have outlived their creators because they embody universal truths that apply to anyone, any time, any where.

​

Rene Descartes, 17th century mathematician and philosopher, also realized transcendental truths because he was attentive to the workings of his inner super-conscious mind. He experienced illumined perspectives from dreams that led to his theory of dualism: man’s physical body functions in a manner similar to that of other animals while his mind operates on a metaphysical basis under the influence of the soul. Descartes’ discovery of Analytical Geometry was the result of a dream which revealed that all sciences could be combined through mathematics. Such insights will become more common place as mankind enters the next century.

 

But how did these “dreamers” know their dreams were so meaningful? How do you distinguish between an authentic epiphany and a common collection of mental video? Let’s examine a segment from the original “Matrix” movie and examine what Morpheus tries to explain to Neo about the design of The Matrix…

​

Morpheus: The Matrix is a system, Neo. That system is our enemy. But when you're inside, you look around and what do you see? Businessmen, Teachers, Lawyers, Carpenters...the very minds of the people we're trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system, and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system that they will fight to protect it.

​

This brings me to the next question: Does the understanding of “reality” exist in the “minds eye” of the beholder? In The Matrix movie, the clues are brilliantly laid out time after time in classic dialog like this:

​

Morpheus: Have you ever had a dream, Neo, that you were so sure was real? What if you were unable to wake from that dream, Neo? How would you know the difference between the dream world and the real world?

 

Unreality, like reality is the territory of a source – and at the core of the thought (dream) Matrix, just like the source of any actual reality, is an unseen will. This means that our dreams are not random as most people believe, but rather in some way they are intended. But to what end? How can there be an unconscious intention you say? Must intention by its very nature be intended? Most people do not have conscious control over their dreams - our minds are usually imposed upon by them. However, there are also those instances in which we can, and do gain conscious control over our mind during dreams, contrary to the intentions of our undetected dream weaver.

 

For example, when a nightmare becomes too frightening and we wake up - or we may realize we are dreaming within the course of the dream that it is only a dream, and then become the observer of the dream rather than its subject. And then there is pain; specifically mental or emotional pain. What is mental or emotional pain? Is it real or imagined? Again, to answer this question we have to seek the source of the sensation. Source is quintessential to all understanding. Thus, seeking source actually equals at some level seeking what is real or true.
