Peter: Today, I would like to bring to Your attention a question that was
asked so many times by Dan Barba from New York but has never been
properly answered. I am also joining him in that question. The question
relates to the issue of dreams, dreaming and sleep. Why do we dream
and what is the meaning of dreams, if anything?
The Lord Jesus Christ: The reason why that question has never been
properly answered up to this point, is in the fact that some of the aspects
of their meaning relate to deeper mystical and mysterious reasons, the
revelation of which would be dangerous and premature to convey. If they
were to be prematurely revealed, this would give a potent tool to the
pseudo-creators, their minions and renegades to effectively interfere with
the workings of My Divine Providence. Although some minor and general
ideas about this issue were somewhat described in a limited sense, in the
Chapter titled Sleep Life in your book, Peter, Understanding and
Fulfillment of Our Earthly Life, its true meaning was not available
until today.
As you know, Peter, tremendous changes are occurring in the entire
fabric of the entire being and existence and pseudo-being and pseudo-
existence, related to the shift currently taking place. This shift
transcends anything that has happened during preceding shifts. Due to a
certain position, place, condition and state that has been achieved and
because all and everything everywhere has been put in the proper,
significant order and hierarchy of the spiritual organization, the issue of
prior security is no longer a consideration. So, let us discuss this issue.
Before proceeding to the discussion proper, a warning needs to be offered:
As you know, human life was fabricated in such a manner so as to be
very complex, convoluted, unstable and extremist — from one extreme to
another, confusing and extremely unreliable. Due to this accursed factor,
the issue of human dreaming is also very complex, confusing, convoluted,
etc. Some of its aspects would be totally incomprehensible to your human
mind. They will be obvious to you after you depart from your human life.
However, we may proceed with the discussion of those aspects which can
be grasped by your human mind.
In a general sense, we can divide this issue into three parts; each of
which, having at least its own three aspects. The first one relates to
everyone’s spiritual mind and the spiritual world, and to the pseudo-
spiritual mind and pseudo-spiritual world. The second one relates to
everyone’s interior or mental mind or intermediate world and to the
pseudo-interior or pseudo-mental mind and to the pseudo-intermediate
world. And the third one relates to the external or physical mind and the
external, physical world and to the pseudo-external mind and pseudo-
physical world.
Let us begin with the discussion of the most external aspects of this issue
and then go to the other levels. The first aspect of this level relates to the
physiological factor. In fact, it relates to the structure and dynamics of
the human body, human brain and its nervous system. As you know,
Peter, the human body and its nervous system is very fragile and limited
in its scope of continuous and uninterrupted function and manifestation.
During its daily activities it accumulates many experiences and
perceptions in its attentive and scanning duties, and of the daily events
that constantly impinge on the brain and its nervous system. Very often,
without one’s conscious awareness, this accumulation is deposited into
the human brain. Because there is a limit to how much or how little a
brain can contain of the accumulated information, it forces the human
body to get tired and to get some sleep. During the sleep cycle, it
discharges unnecessary and unimportant accumulated information, so as
to prepare that body and its nervous system to register everything that
will be happening the next day. During this discharge, the neurons in the
brain are firing their electric charges. These neurons’ charges are
manifested as dreams. In most instances, at this level of dreaming, one
dreams about those events of the previous day which were either not
registered by one’s conscious awareness or were unimportant and
meaningless. Because of this factor, some dreams are meaningless and
have no other significance than performing a cleaning and janitorial
function, keeping the brain on an optimal level of performance and
function.
The second aspect of this level relates to the biological factor. The
biological factor of the human body relates to the life force which enters
that body for the purpose of continuously vivifying it. There is a flow of
life energy, continuously entering that body in order to keep that body
alive and functional. However, as you know so well, Peter, the human
body is extremely limited in how much or how little it can take in of that
life energy. Too much, as well as too little, would annihilate it. As that
flow of life energy enters that body, the body, in all its organs,
accumulates and stores it in its vital organs and all its cells. Due to the
accumulative limitation of these organs and cells, when they are full,
they stop receiving further amounts of that life energy. Once they stop
receiving it, by the continuous function of those organs and cells, that life
energy becomes depleted in them and they fall in danger of dying out. In
the process of that depletion, because no more life energy vivifies them, a
certain type of poison begins to develop in them. This condition makes
the human body very tired and it falls asleep. During the sleep cycle, a
cleaning and janitorial work takes place in all bodily organs and cells.
Again, this activity produces electrical discharges in the nerves
connected to these organs and cells, which inform the human brain about
the work that is being done and about the level of depleted life energy,
and of how much cleaning needs to be done in order to prepare them to
receive a new and fresh surge of life force energy. These electrical
discharges are manifested as dreams. These types of dreams produce
somewhat bizarre and almost foolish pictures, the content and reality of
which is totally impossible to conceive or experience in the waking state.
In most instances, these types of dreams relate to the specificity of
human organs and cells that have their own coded language which is
projected into the brain for the purpose of continuous feedback of their
condition and function. Because of that, they don’t make any sense to the
human conscious mind.
The third aspect of this level relates to the physical lifestyle of humans.
As you know, humans need to eat and drink in order to keep their body
alive. Any time they overeat, overdrink, oversleep or underdrink,
undereat or undersleep, the bodily organs, the nervous system, the
human brain and all bodily cells go into a certain type of turmoil and
almost a shock like condition. As you know, too much food, too much
drink or too much sleep and vice versa, causes tremendous pressure and
burden on all bodily systems. Again, the body becomes very tired and
sleepy. When one goes to sleep, the pressure and shock of physical
exertion or the lack of it, by whatever mode it happens, causes one to
dream, reflecting the abnormality of one’s bodily condition. This
abnormality, signaled to the human brain, forces the brain to begin the
activity which would revert the bodily function, once again, to its normal
optimal level. In the process of these types of activities, an unusually
intense firing of the neurons takes place in the brain, more than under
any other conditions. These unusual amounts of activities are reflected in
the dreams that you experience as nightmares. These types of
nightmares can be termed physiological. (There are other types of
nightmares of which we will talk later). When you overeat, for example,
the heaviness, the heartburn in your stomach and similar symptoms
cause you these types of nightmares.
The second, intermediate or mental level can also be conceived to have
its own three aspects. The first aspect relates to the mental and/or
intellectual, emotional and similar activities in which every human being
is, to some extent, engaged. These activities put a lot of pressure on the
mental faculties of each individual. Because all mental faculties and the
processes of mentation of every human being are processed through the
human brain and its nervous system, they are limited in the scope of
their manifestation by the limits of how much or how little the
instrument or the means through which they can be manifested can take
into it, or how it is able to process. When there is an excess of these types
of activities or too intense a preoccupation with them or, on the other
hand, there is not enough of them (the state of boredom, for example),
the nervous system and its center — the brain, become very tired and
require sleep, rest or slumber. During this time, a replenishment of life
force energies, related to and enabling such mental activities and
processes of mentation takes place in order for them to become reality. A
special type of activity is introduced during this time, which causes other
types of neurons to be activated and start firing into the area which is
assigned to be the carrier of these mental activities and processes of
mentation. In the process of this firing, a specific area in the brain is
activated which opens the door both to the human soul and to the special
intermediate dimension or intermediate pseudo-dimension, which
enables these dimensions to perform the necessary work in order to
restore the proper and optimal mental function to the human being who
manifests in such activities such as thinking, feeling, willing, deciding,
relating and similar activities, summarily called — the processes of
mentation.
During this important work, whoever or whatever participates in it, may
inadvertently influence the state and the process of dreaming, leaking
their presence into the visual field of dreams. Due to the fact that each
world has its own language, and at the same time, one language common
to all — the language of correspondences, the dreams are depicted in the
symbols, metaphors, pictures and similar elements specific to that world.
Depending on who or what or from where this participation occurs, these
types of dreams can either be positive, pleasant and happy, or negative,
unpleasant and unhappy.
The second aspect of this level relates to human self-perception, self-
worth, self-image, self-identity, self-evaluation and self-acceptance. The
way each human perceives, feels, thinks, wills, accepts, experiences and
evaluates himself/herself, determines the quality and the content of
his/her dreams. These states cause the opening of the doors, during sleep
time, to various dimensions in the intermediate world and in the pseudo-
intermediate world. Depending on what type of self-concept, self-identity,
self-acceptance, etc., one has, the doors are opened either to the positive
side or to the negative side of those dimensions, or sometimes to both,
either simultaneously or sequentially. For example, if one feels guilty,
ashamed, remorseful, etc., about something one did, or thought he/she
did, the doors are opened wide to the negative side of that dimension and
one is influenced by it in a negative way — by anxiety and nightmarish
types of dreams, related to the unconscious needs and desires to be
punished.
What you have to understand about this aspect of the level in question,
and all the other following levels and their aspects, is that each sentient
entity, including all humans and sub-creatures of the Zone of
Displacement, reside in several multidimensional worlds that exert their
influence on their lives. For humans, sub-creatures and similar entities
in the Zone of Displacement, this residence is always unconscious.
However, by certain types of attitudes, behaviors, relationships and
similar factors, the awareness of this residence, communication and
interaction with them, may leak through during their sleep. In that case,
the residents of those worlds will influence the content and dynamics of
one’s dreams. And again, because they speak their own language, the
language of specific metaphors, pictures and symbols, the dreams become
full of them, subject to the need to interpret them or to translate them
into the human conscious type of everyday language. So, for example, if
one feels guilty, etc., by that negative feeling, one will trigger a
communication and interaction with entities that feed on those kinds of
feelings and will attach themselves to that one, causing him/her to dream
in symbols that would cause anxiety, fear and similar adverse emotions
resulting in a possible nightmare; and sometimes even in cardiac arrest
— wishful thinking to be punished. However, the opposite is also true:
The positive, happy, joyous, kind, peaceful and altruistic types of
emotions and feelings will cause the opening of the doors to the positive
side of those dimensions, enabling the positive residents of those worlds
to come through, causing one to have dreams which are very pleasant,
delightful, fulfilling, refreshing and healing from which one does not
want to come out.
The third aspect of this level relates to the uniqueness of one’s
personality, and soul or mentality. There are specific aspects to this
awareness which places each individual in a unique position relative to
everyone and everything else. As you know, Peter, each individual
occupies his/her own unique, personal and individual space, time,
condition and/or state. At the same time, each individual has his/her own
specific function and assignment in the fabric of space-time and state-
condition continuum. Due to this arrangement, in order to illustrate and
manifest the specificity of one’s position, state, place, condition,
assignment and function for the benefit or harm to all — whatever the
case may be, each individual is connected in a very specific and unusual
way to all others. Because of this important factor, a continuous
interaction is going on 24 hours a day, with all of them at one time or
another, producing a very special and unique setup in which that
individual is able to release from himself/herself everything specific to
him/her and to his/her work. In the process of such a release, depending
on the quality and content of the information which is being released,
and by the process of that release, the door is opened for the dream
awareness of such communication and influence of the entities that
participate at that moment in receiving the relevant information. The
quality and the content of that release, and the degree of importance of
the information which is being released, determine who or what will
come through and what type of dream symbolism will manifest itself in
the dreams of the individual in question.
The third level of the meaning of dreaming — the spiritual — is the most
important, crucial and significant one. It is this level that was designated
as the most mysterious and mystical one. It relates to the fact that every
individual is a multidimensional being. This statement entails the reality
of the principle which indicates that everyone functions on many levels of
reality and pseudo-reality.
Let us begin with a reminder of the following facts: As you remember,
Peter, it was indicated many times to all that you are engaged in
working and functioning in many worlds, without your being consciously
aware, in most instances, that it is so. Thus, by various levels and
aspects of your mind and your pseudo-mind, you are connected to various
circles of Creation and pseudo-Creation. During your interaction in those
worlds, your conscious mind is either preoccupied with some external
factors happening in your external worlds, or whenever a more intense
involvement is required, during your sleep. It is in this phase of
involvement in your sleep that certain aspects of that interaction and
work leak into your sleep in the form of dreams. But, also, because you
are in the human skin, in order for you not to be sidetracked from that
work and not to interfere with its process, or that the negative state does
not recognize and becomes aware that you are involved in some
important work, either in its realm or in the realm of the positive state,
dream states are induced with events that are banal, boring or having no
particular meaning. This helps you to avoid any contamination or
undesirable influence from anyone who is not part of that process. At the
same time, the interaction with beings in other dimensions on various
levels and pseudo-levels influences the content and nature of your
dreams. So, in this particular sense, dreams very often function as
important decoys.
It is in this aspect of dreaming that the negative state — knowing that
you are somehow involved, but not knowing how, where or in what
manner — in order to prevent you from whatever it is that you are
involved with, induces the so-called propaganda dreams. These are the
scary tactics of the negative state in order to cause you anxiety, fear
attacks, spiritual nightmares and induce unnecessary concerns into your
mind. The negative state knows very well that if you become preoccupied
by whatever they induce in this respect, you would not be able to
function fully and competently in anything that you do at any level of
being and existence, and pseudo-being and pseudo-existence.
The second aspect of this level relates to the factor of the non-temporal
and non-spatial nature of non-physical worlds. In those worlds, you
function outside of time-space parameters. In them, past, present and
future occur simultaneously and synchronously. To function in such a
mode of non-spatial and non-temporal continuum is inconceivable to the
human brain and the human conscious mind. As you know, they function
in a linear mode that flows as a straight arrow from the past to the
present and toward the future. In order not to place your mind into
confusion and mortal shock, orientation points in some types of time-
space bound pictures, visions and dreams are induced during your sleep.
Thus, in this respect, to have dreams is a matter of survival for your
physical body. That the human body cannot survive without having
dreams (the so-called REM sleep), is a very well-known factor even to
your dream researchers. However, they have no idea why it cannot
survive without them.
However, there is another aspect to this situation. Some sensitive
individuals who are basically immune to developing such mortal shocks,
may utilize this non-temporal and non-spatial condition in order to
develop certain types of dreams and visions that take the form of
premonitions and a sense of something important happening in the near,
or even, far future. These are the so-called prophetic dreams which are
the results of one’s ability to plug into the energies of events that are
about to occur based on their participation in the non-temporal and non-
spatial continuum. Of course, some sensitive individuals are able to plug
into such energies even in the waking state, when they shift their
attention to the state of inwardness. This occurrence is permitted by Me
to happen in order to prepare these individuals for what is to come and
soften the shock of incoming events. Again, it has a protective value. It is
also during this type of dreaming that the so-called vivid and lucid
dreams occur. Also, some very few sensitive individuals, with the help of
the forces of the negative state, are able to make predictions and see
some limited aspects of the future while in this state. You call them
psychics.
The third aspect of this level is the most important one. It relates directly
to Me and to My relationship with everyone in being and existence and
pseudo-being and pseudo-existence. As you know, all of you are relative.
Your relativity requires the continuous maintenance, support and flow of
My personal Life energies into you. The life of all relative beings,
whether sentient or non-sentient, whether positive or temporarily
negative, are maintained by the factor that they are connected to Me in
some way or another, regardless of whether they know it or not that such
is the case. Working from the Absolute Condition into the relative one
requires a special approach. There is a titration of that energy into each
individual in accordance with his/her unique needs. During this titration,
a very important process occurs in the interaction between Me and you.
In this process, the Absolute enters the relative. By the factor of that
entrance, the relative is being continuously resurrected into its own life.
Here is an unusual mystery for you: At every point of your being and
existence, because of your relativity and because you cannot produce
your own life from yourself, of yourself or by yourself, you are
continuously dead. My Absolute presence in your relativity enables you,
in a fraction of a second, to instantly become alive again. This is a very
difficult concept for you to grasp. Because of your relative condition,
every fraction of a second, you die. At exactly the same moment, when
you die, you are being resurrected by My presence as the Only Life by,
from and of Himself/Herself. Because this event happens in a non-spatial
and non-temporal realm, you have no awareness of your continuous
dying or being dead at every moment, and at the very same time being
resurrected.
So, how does this mystery relate to the state of your sleep and dreaming?
Your sleep actually reflects the state of your dying. Your daily non-sleep
activities reflect the state of your continuous resurrection by Me. Now,
don’t forget that this happens in a non-spatial and non-temporal
condition. However, when it is projected to your external life, it yields to
the laws of your time and space, thus, it occurs sequentially and not at
the very same time as is the case in My Absolute State. Because of My
unceasing work in this respect, during the phase of your death
represented by your sleep, in order to prevent you from the horrible
sense of your not being alive, I induce various types of dreams that give
you a sense that life in you continues. At the same time, by the induction
of these dreams, the representatives of the negative state are deterred
from perceiving your death, thinking that you are alive, thus, unable to
derive from your condition, and My work with you, anything that they
could utilize for their adverse purposes.
But there is another important point to this aspect. A special type of
dream is continuously being induced during your sleep time, or death
time, which you forget upon awakening but which is the most important
factor in My working with you. These and similar dreams relate to My
work of salvation and elimination of the negative state. Certain types of
very unusual — for you — symbols, pictures and depictions are used
during that time which are a continuous reminder to everyone
everywhere, both in the positive and the negative state, respectively,
about the agreement which was made between Me and all participants in
this cycle of time regarding its outcome. Such a continuous reminder is
an absolutely necessary condition, for the simple reason that these
participants — all of you, would forget that this was the case and would
succumb to the negative state or to eternal death. These types of dreams
are especially vital for humans on your planet and for everyone in the
Zone of Displacement.
At one point in time, the content and the meaning of these dreams will
be brought to their conscious attention and, based on them, they will be
able to recall the conditions of this vital agreement and recede from their
life of negativity and subsequently convert to the positive state. The
issue here is, again, the relativity of their condition. If they were not to
have a continuous input from the Absolute in this respect, they would not
be able to retain anything about that agreement or about anything else
for that matter. The reason why such important work is done through
dreaming, is in the fact that if they were to know that this is the case,
they would do everything in their power to annul the impact and the
influence of those dreams. In that case, they would eternally perish.
Peter: What about now? They will be reading this dialog as soon as
Gloria reads it and as soon as it is sent to Dan, and Dan and Olga read it.
The Lord Jesus Christ: Well, Peter, you were informed by Me in the
First Dialog that tremendous changes have taken place as of now. You
have no conscious idea what all these changes entail — during this
monumental shift. Suffice it to say that a very important situation was
established in all the Hells and elsewhere, a very important work was
accomplished, a most significant milestone was set up and a new
foundation was built. What that accomplished is that no one in the
negative state or elsewhere, neither the pseudo-creators nor their
minions nor renegades nor anyone else are capable any longer to do
anything about what was revealed here in this respect or any other
respect. Don’t forget that. So, this information is very safe and cannot be
misused at all.
Peter: Thank You very much for this information. I don’t want to ask
any more questions today because I think we have had enough for now.
Am I right?
The Lord Jesus Christ: Yes, Peter, you are right. However, in
conclusion to this dialog, let Me remind you again that there are other
important aspects of the issue discussed here today but they are of an
Absolute Nature, or that at this point in time their nature cannot be
comprehended by the limited human mind. However, what was revealed
here about it is quite sufficient and I hope that Dan will also be satisfied
with My response to his question. So, have a nice rest of the day and
prepare yourself for the visit of Marko and Michal from Slovakia who are
arriving late tonight.
Peter: Again, thank You very much.
