Thread: Dream guide while I'm awake

I do this as well, I think its just communication with our subconscious, or inner selves. I named my sub-c Michael, we have pretty interesting conversations, I learn much from him.

My sub-c has the voice of a knowledgeable, wise Englishmen, like Sherlock Holmes. It also has that kind of immortal, head-filling quality that you would associate with the voice of God.

We have chats. I bounce ideas off of him.

I know someone else said they had a conversation with their Dream Guide.

I would love to have a convo with my sub-c, but I can't tell if it's just me BSing answers or not...

Yeah. I often wonder if the answers I get in return are just what I wanted to "hear".
So its difficult for me to tell if Im really talking to my Sub-C.
I would love to have long and detailed conversations with my sub-conscience, though.
That would be awsomely awsome.
lol

Yeah, if there's any way to learn to do this, I would love to hear!

If you're not actively imagining answers (and you know if you are, because you're actively, conciously imagining it) then it's your sub-c.

I agree!

Its actually easier than you may think. Start with simple things like when you go to get a snack or something ask yourself "Am I hungry?" then clear your mind and wait for an answer, which should come fairly quickly. You can ask other questions about aspects of your daily life as well. Then you can move on to harder questions.

When you are first starting you probably wont "hear" a voice in your mind, that's not always the case though some people who know themselves well may hear the voice of their inner from the beginning, if you are not one of these people the messages you recieve will most likely be images and emotions/feelings, with enough practice your consciousness learns to translate them into the appropriate words. It helps if you spend time every day analyzing your own emotions to find the cause, and meaning of them.

I have learned to ask for my sub-c's opinion on almost every aspect of my life. It has been greatly beneficial to my life and well-being. You do not have to follow your sub-c's choices if you do not want to though. Most of the time as long as it's not telling you to go out and kill someone, or yourself or something like that, choosing to at heed, or at least give serious thought to warnings, suggestions, and so forth is indeed wise.

As long as your mind is clear and you are not consciously forming the answers, it is probably your sub-conscious. With practice you will be able to distinctly distinguish your random thoughts from those of your sub-c as well. For me messages from my sub-conscious have more I almost want to say "weight" to them than my own thoughts, it's kinda hard to explain because it is probably different for everyone.

Do the answers come quickly?

When I first started the answers came within 30 seconds. Now they come instantly.

Sub-c, waking dream guide. It all equates to an imaginary friend in the end.

It gives an impartial view on things when you are uncomfortable with being impartial. That's my view.

What you're discussing is what the Toltecs call your "Benefactor." Some will call it a "Guide" (distinct and different from your Dream Master/Guide) some will call it an "Ally" or in some cases an "Ancestor."

In my tradition, I'd call it one of your Guides (again distinct and separate from your Dream Master).

Listen to it. It's there to help you on your Path.

Most unfortunate, I hope you can find some way to make it work.

Hmm, I'm new to this forum but I know quite abit about spirituality and subjects like this. The point where we are connected to the universe is the Crown Chakra. The point where we see the Astral and communicate with the beings there is the Third Eye or Brow Chakra. Here, I'll give you a link.http://www.666blacksun.com/Opening_the_ThirdEye.html Just to let anyone know who visits that sight, please don't be caught off guard just because it's Satanic. True Satanism is not evil but I'm not here to get into religion. Hope you can begin a great spiritual journey. If you choose to ignore it, then it's your choice.

Opening chakras has nothing to do with satanism.

I use this same sort of system to figure a lot of things out..

Anyone felt they've had some access to the "Akashic records" ?

Don't let doctors telling people ADHD is a disease allow your mind to trick yourself into thinking you have a disorder.. Every child is "diagnosed" with this disorder this day and age, any child with too much energy... Learn to conquer your mind, it can be silent when the time is right. Don't let anyone tell you that you have this imaginary disease.

I personally trust everyone working in the medical profession to tell me when something is wrong.

Slayer, a good starting point would be some meditation. I occasionally try for the mind-blank type thing, but different methods work for different people, so ask around for some techniques. DV is a good place to start.

I know exactly what you are talking about.
For as long as I can remember I've always had a seperate "person" who fills the exact role you're talking about.

He never used to have a name, he came about when I'd ask myself a question to which I didn't know the answer, and I had the image in my head of a tall man wearing a trilby hat who I'd answer the question from. This persona developed into a very wise character to the point where I'd be so familiar with him that I wouldn't even need to think of an answer for, he'd often just come into my head and answer me with a clear, correct and realistic feat.

When I must have been 3 or 4, I got confused one night when I was falling asleep on the couch in my living room and my dad told me- "It's almost dark, Jim."
I didn't quite hear him and it sounded like "He's Armasdark, Jim."
I replied with a drowsy- "Who?"
He said- "What do you mean- "Who?"?"
I was confused and didn't know who he was talking about, but for some reason I thought he was talking about my "guide".

I don't even know why, but when you're young, things tend to stick, as did that name. From then on I'd call him "Armasdark". And even though I'd never speak to him outloud. He continued to be there and answer me from my sublime for many years.

I havn't really thought about "him" and how he dressed and how he spoke for a very long time, when I read this thread I knew exactly what you meant.
I still have a "guide", but it's more of myself- the person inside my head, not the person who people see me as, but the person who knows exactly how I think, EVERYTHING I've done and never told anyone about, and knows all about the guilt I've built up throughout my life. I just ask "myself"- this real person, what I want to know, and he responds to any questions with a much more bleak, realistic and discomforting outcome, unlike "Armas" did, it was more of a "Oh no, that's a difficult situation you're in... But really, don't worry about it at all, everything will be fine."
Now I'm older I've found that my response is more- "Oh dear. You're fucked. I'll tell you what would be the best thing to do though, not that it means you're gonna be okay. Aha..."


It's great to see that other people have the same sort of thing with them.
Thanks,
Jim

Than you are quite unaware of the morbid history of medicine, and the fact that all doctors are not really all that well qualified.

thats a scary thought

Blood-letting, purging, etc. It is a morbid history when viewed by today's standards, but in another 200 years, looking back on today's practices those people might find our modern doctors to be just as barbaric. Medicine is constantly changing to battle new threats and cure long-ailing disorders, but it's always a learning process. Hence why a doctor "practices."

I do believe that psychological "professionals" over-diagnose or at least over-exaggerate certain disorders such as ADD/ADHD and depression, but from what I've learned, they are real an legitimate issues for people and usually simple (or not so simple) mental exercises or will power are not enough to "cure" them. (Pfew! Long sentence.) Sure, one can learn to cope with the issue better through positive thinking and meditation, but for others, a small dose of whatever may be the only thing that helps them to feel normal and be able to focus. Medication is far from perfected, especially for mental issues and I cringe when I see pills being handed out like candy. Nonetheless, physicians and psychiatric professionals (should) work to perfect treatments and I applaud the efforts of those who sincerely want to make a difference.

Off topic? I think so.

I'd be lying if I said that there weren't conversations going on in my head. Lately my mind has become a meeting hall for Joy, Anger, Contentment, Jealousy, Love, Rage, Lust, Logic, and so on and so forth. I call my emotions what they are and encourage or converse with them accordingly, sometimes with interesting results. Logic doesn't speak as often as I like, but when it does I try to listen. I just wish some of the others didn't speak so loud.
