PATHS and nightmares?

[cassiopeias_dream]

Has anybody experienced having nightmares when starting on a new module, especially one dealing with a lot of deep-seated emotional issues?

I rarely have nightmares... but since changing modules (I suspect Trauma Free to be the culprit) I've had quite a few. It doesn't really bother me as of yet, it's more interesting than anything else, especially since it could be taken as evidence that some healing is ocurring. My dreams have been a lot more vivid lately in general.

I had one amazing experience the other night though. It was a semi-lucid nightmare (it felt like I was half-awake half-asleep, almost a sleep paralysis state), and I was lying in my bed shaking, it felt like there were evil spirits surrounding me. I was terrified, but I somehow pulled myself together, and said a prayer. Then I imagined my crown chakra opening and beaming up my energy to connect it with Heaven. I did the same with my heart chakra energy. Then I imagined two large circles of light surrounding me to protect me. I say 'imagined', but it felt amazingly real, like I had actually made it happen. It filled me with peace, and it felt so good to have 'defeated' the evil energies surrounding me by just opening myself up to God/source/heaven/higher self. Because I've had similar moments before with sleep paralysis and they always terrify me and I've never been able to overcome them before. And it was all so vivid that I'm still not entirely convinced it was 'just' a dream.

Hi Cassiopeias

I'm still not entirely convinced it was 'just' a dream

It wasn't.

Yes, an increase in lucid, vivid and strange dreams are very common when using Paths - especially a new module - and the Trauma Release module, I believe, is one of the most Powerful.

Most of the processing and changes we go through happen while we're asleep (which is why sleep is so Vital). I believe that dreams are the result of the conscious mind trying to make sense of the processes it doesn't understand - converting processing into experience. If you've seen the movie "The Matrix" - the code, which can be seen on the computer outside the matrix (and by Neo eventually from within it) is like the actual processing going on... and the experience within the matrix is like the interpretation of that code, by the conscious mind. It is unable to comprehend the actual process, and so it creates experiences (dreams) that most closely resemble the feeling the processing creates. (don't know if that makes sense?)

So, the nightmares, I would think, are the conscious mind's interpretation of the clearing and changes being made. The things that feel "evil" are most likely old patterns that are really ingrained, being cleared - and hanging on for dear life lol

The wonderful thing about Paths is that it's happening subconsciously, and you don't have to do anything except allow it to happen. Sleep as much as you can, and make sure you're taking enough Spirulina and drinking enough water to ensure you're giving your brain enough fuel. The nightmares will pass as the processing progresses. It's like scrubbing a dirty oven - as the scrubbing cleans more of the ingrained dirt, there'll be less mess, and it will become easier.

The experience you mentioned sounds to me like a clearing of old programming - that you were initially automatically resisting, fear of letting it go... and then through your visualisation of opening to Heaven, you opened and allowed the release of that stuff - releasing the fear with it. Well Done You!!! That was an Excellent way of consciously allowing the changes.

Keep up the Brilliant work

Looking forward to hearing more from you.

Hi Cassiopeias

I know having nightmares isn't nice but I just wanted to say that I think what happened in yours was a good sign. How amazing was that to be able to protect yourself and open up your heart chakra. And that you felt peace too. How powerful are you! It seems like you are processing a lot of stuff so be gentle with yourself and give yourself credit for how strong you are. To go from not being able to overcome previously to this is just wonderful!

+1 on what Odille said!

Sounds like you are making great progress!

I have had many insights and leaps of growth occur during that strange time between sleep and wakefulness...a very lucid time.

Oh, and I just realized something else. Lately (the last few months) I have had many times when I did not like what I was dreaming about and very easily woke myself up thinking about the relevance to a particular life situation.

Another thing that happened just last week....I woke up from a "nightmare" (was really just a dream that I did not like how it was going) and found that Mary (my wife) had also just awoken from a bad dream. We talked about what we were dreaming about...the conclusion we came to was that she was dreaming about something analogous to a current situation she is dealing with and while uncomfortable it was her subconscious working it out.

Because we are close, my subconscious picked up on her uncomfortable situation she was in and that is what spurred my dream, both of us waking up within 30 seconds of each other.

I started Trauma free module a month ago, and in past week I had some very strange dreams. I'm also very sensitive and I cry a lot witout any objective reasons. I really did't expect such emotional response, since I had very happy childhood. Obviously there are always some traumas that we have to procces.

[frederick4life2004]

I had nightmares when I 1st used Trauma free, these became less in time and now its just dreams I can't make end or tail of lol. there a jumble up of many things.

That's amazing Kevin!

I had some really bad, scary and crazy dreams on the '5 year' version of Synchronicity. In contrast to really interesting dreams at the other levels that could be analyzed and found useful and enlightening. I got scared so quit Synchronicity...hoping it didn't mean my life was going to be a nightmare in 5 years! LOL.

Synchro is a great mod. More likely that 5 years out your life is so different that it is hard for current mind to synch up with it.

I am sure it is different in a GOOD way!

[Mozaar]

I have used Synchro a couple of times already. No dreams here but I am more confident and calm. How often can I go to the theatre? Daily or Weekly?
PATHS seems to suggest weekly.

[softsoul]

daily...

Some of us view it daily. I view it once a day, and if I am using the computer that day, I will also listen to it on my headphones while I am doing other things. Infact Im listening to it now as Im typing.

Ive read somewhere on this forum that if you use it daily, compared to weekly, you would help your mind get into sync faster with the instructions. Something like that.

When I first started using paths, I started out with only 2 modules, and one of them was for good luck. I never win anything on the lottery tickets right. Well, for the first time, after viewing the Luck module for 5 days straight, and viewing it about 5 times a day in a row, I won a total of $105 and a free ticket.
I also noticed that now, when I try to do that, I get a heavy pressured headache at the front forehead area, and temples. So now I dont do that anymore. Oh, and I also notice that when I stopped taking spirulina for a month, the modules took longer to work on me. Spirulina helps it work faster.

Oh! Kevin that makes so much sense.....whew!!!
it does make sense, in the dreams was the feeling of hurtling through too much time and space LOL.

The Trauma Free gave me nightmares too. I think that's good, just clearing out bad stuff transforming nightmares into sweet dreams!

(I posted this before somewhere else but for anyone who missed it.)

For anyone troubled by nightmares, the lucid dreaming mod has solved this problem for me completely.

I used to have some duzzies. Not all the time but they happened enough and I really hated them.

I still don't like really scary movies, etc. but I don't feel plagued by bad dreams anymore. It's not a concern at all.

Whenever something troubling happens in my dreams since being on this mod, the second I have that "oh no" feeling, the dream changes for the better.

Also I never wake up with my pj pant bottoms rumpled up by my knees, like I've been kicking in my sleep, like I used to all the time. I actually tried swapping off this mod after being on it a while. But right away I got the rumpled pj thing and went back on the mod, much relieved
