Dreams...Subconscious or Spirit Message?

This week, I've had a lot of questions about dreams and what they are. Well, I'm going to try to clear that up for you today as best I can.

When we have dreams, are the images in those dreams messages from our subconscious mind or are they messages from our guides and loved ones? What if I explained it like this...

Our subconscious mind is linked to our soul, with that link being the gatekeeper of past life experiences and memories. Think of it as being the storage place for everything our soul--which has lived many human lives--has experienced. It could also be described as being the core of our soul.

With that being said, let's move on to what those images and symbols in our dreams might be...

The best way to illustrate this might be for me to give one of my own examples. I know that in a past life I surely must have drowned. I have a fear of being in water over my head and cannot stand to have water splash in my face. Nothing in my current life experience would indicate that it is even reasonable for me to feel that way. When I was diagnosed with asthma many years ago and it was really uncontrolled, I would have nightmares of dreaming that I was drowning. Ultimately, those nightmares would wake me up and I'd be in the midst of a critical asthma attack to the point I would have to be hospitalized. These nightmares waking me up literally saved my life. But were they really nightmares or my subconscious mind recalling a past life experience of drowning?

There are a lot of symbol books out there that are essentially guidebooks to deciphering dreams. Again, remember, spirit uses symbology to speak to us. To give us messages from the spirit world. I'm going to use another of my own examples.

Tornadoes or storms are a symbol of just that, a storm in our own lives. When I am overly stressed in my waking time, my spirit guides come forward and give me tornadoes in my dreams. Not just cyclones on the horizon, but a tornado...with eyes...that chase me down and finds me even when I try to hide. This is my guides' way of telling me that I need to get rid of some of the stressful situations in my life. They are caring for that body part of mind/body/soul.

I know this is a simple explanation to a pretty significant topic, but I wanted to illustrate it in a way that might send those reading it to do some of the research and come to their own conclusions. And besides, that is what I was led to do by my subconscious. Give my readers just enough to get their feet wet so that they would want to go on and learn more and apply it to their own situation.

One more thing before I go, I plan on doing a live session this coming weekend on my Facebook page by the same name...stop by...keep up to date...and you might get a message from spirit during that live session!

Many blessings to you all!!
