ATS resident dream experts have any idea what's up with me?

I'm middle aged and to this day rarely have dreams, but when I do, they are always very negative. If I'm walking on the edge of a cliff, I'll worry about falling and do just that. If I realize I'm dreaming and try to control it, it's as if an invisible hand forces the negative outcomes. I don't usually die in the dreams or have visions of demons or anything, it's just me and NPCs that I can never quite identify watching me fail over and over and over. It doesn't bother me anymore except that I worry it'll carry over when I pass which does bug me a little.

To be fair, I'm a very skeptical and pessimistic person now that I'm older. It's not a "oh no poor me" deal as much as it's just a practical "ok that figures, screwed again" which I know isn't great, but it's the way it is.

As for life events, I can't escape the fact that I've escaped problems no one should be able to several times. I could almost feel the hand of fate steering me out of trouble. Feels very surreal. Can't tell if their helping me or keeping me here to torment me a little longer lol.

I think it's safe to say I've had maybe ten or less dreams in my life that ended positively or with me not getting a terrible outcome.
I posted some time ago about praying with the most emotion I've had in my life in regards to my father dying 30 years ago. My pastor at the time called me the next day saying HE had a dream and explained how to immaculately dressed males came to him and asked him to give ME a message "Your father loves you". The pastor wasn't aware of my prayers or history and even # on the idea that the dead could communicate with us, but he delivered the message and I was grateful to get it as it confirmed a lot of things and erased any doubts about an afterlife. It did however confirm my little problem even more.

For me, this feels like I'm blocked or unable to receive. I've always sensed the presence of an entity consisting of maybe half a dozen with me since I was a kid, but never with any clarity, just a sense of "knowing" it, but I can't prove it of course or had any visions of them specifically. I can't tell if I'm an old soul or brand new out of the box, but I definitely feel like I'm living the wrong life for some reason.

Haven't read or heard of this before and never met anyone that did either so thought I'd ask here.

Idk.
Let's say you're trying to climb a mountain as it is a life goal to make it to the summit. But every now and again you face an object blocking your path.

The purpose of that object is to keep you from reaching your goal. How do you put that object behind you? Go around, over the top, or turn back?

How bad do you want to gain the summit?
🙏❤

I forgot to indicate I'm no expert, just a little intuitive.

Do you drink alcohol? My dreams were always negative when I used to drink to excess.

Rarely, but it's a good reason to start again, you know for "science" lol.

a reply to: Paschar0

So do you want to stop the dreams or are you just looking for the "meaning" of them?

I only have had a few recurring nightmares over my lifetime(58). When I was a kid it was I'd go get in our car and start driving and I'd do fine for miles and miles, heading to my grandmother's. But every time Id gets to where I-285 crossed the Chattahoochee river Id veer off the bridge and being to plunge towards the water. Right before Id hit the water Id wake up, had this dream at least 10-15 times but never after the age of 7 or 8.

As an adult, my reoccurring nightmare as I was trapped in a murky swamp, chest-deep water, had both of my daughters, toddlers at the time, clinging to me as we were searching for dry ground as the crocodiles closed in. Both are clawing one on each shoulder screaming swim Daddy swim they are getting closer. I get to a where I can grab a tree branch but I can't lift both up at the same time and I have to put one of them in the water while I lift the other one to the branch, every time just as I get one on the branch, Id feel the other one torn from clinging to me screaming, That one has virtually gone away since they are now grown, but for years and years, it always hit me hard.

I'm not sure this will help but I'll tell you about it. Something I came across in my study of the bible was the curse of Malachi. Put simply what happened was this. John the Baptist was Elijah the prophet and he was killed at the behest of Salome and her mother. The daughter and granddaughter of the High Priest. Per Malachi 4 KJV this triggered the curse of Malachi. And looking for the details of the curse I found it in the book of Hosea. Hosea 6-2 and 2nd Peter 3-8 if you want the timeline. But put simply what happened was the earth was slapped with a 2000 year top level Leviticus 26 curse. And it's still running.

Now why this would pertain to you is Isaiah 6.

9And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not.
10Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed.

Those subject to a curse are basically blinded and are sleepwalking through life. This might be part of your block. So here's the remedy. 2nd Chronicles 6. You need to ask for it to be lifted. And let me know if anything happens.

For me it packed quite a wallop. As if I had been seeing the world through a pane of dirty glass that was suddenly taken out of the way.

It's funny, I was talking with a friend last week and joked about being cursed.
How would one go about asking for it to be lifted, would you pray to Jesus?

Hi.

You need to speak to Ian Wilson. He is a member here, not frequent, and has a YT channel.

He most certainly will be able to make your dreams positive.

I followed his early teachings for a while and I had some INCREDIBLE dreams.

Well for what its worth i astral project and lucid dream a lot. What i've come to realize is that in dreams or lucid dreams it is your mind that creates your experience and "reality" that you are in at the time.

If you are afraid and scared you will create a negative experience. If you are confident and fearless you will have a fun or exciting experience.

Basically when you are in a dream and you realize it you need to find that area of your mind that is confident that you are going to fail and abolish it completely from your mind. Tell yourself that you are in complete control and have complete power over the dream because it is a reflection of your own beliefs and feelings.

Repeat it to yourself if you need to until that negative belief in your mind is gone. But you can "feel" the belief dissipate and feel and see immediately your dream change once the belief isnt there.

A lot of times ill become lucid in dreams and still have the belief that gravity is real and that i can't fly. When i try to float i can't, but i know i can if i find the belief that gravity is holding me to the earth and abolish it. It takes a little bit but eventually i will start levitating but i can't actually fly with speed until i completely change my mindset. Ill even imagine rockets under my feet sometimes to blast me through the dream.

This always works no matter what the experience is you are having. I'll be having a nightmare that im running from cops or being attacked by a gang or something and realize that its a dream. From there ill stand in place and confirm in my mind that i have complete control and that the only reason these people are attacking me or whatever the situation is because i believe they are after me and i am afraid. Find that belief and feeling and change it confidence that you have complete power and the negative things immediately stop happening. You can just think the people or things out of existence once you get good.

Also i've realized that real life is very similar. Everyone i see's beliefs play such a huge role on the circumstances in their life. Even my own. But the universe and all matter in the universe are part of the universal consciousness we are constantly in communication with so your beliefs and feelings manifest in real life at a much slower pace than a dream because it is a much denser reality than dreams.

Hope that helps though

Dreaming that you are falling off a cliff, is a very common dream, is linked to your everyday life and the worries about the future.

I used to die alot in my dreams, in all kind of ways. Ripped to pieces by monsters, eaten by zombies, shot up by folks, fallen to my death. I posted about some dreams last week, but they were pretty tame. The other night though I dreamed of skinless bodies submerged in water. I cannot recall the context, but they definitely were reaching aggressively towards me or perhaps passers by?? No clue where the heck I was.

I never woke up startled by them kind of dreams. In fact, I often woke up smiling after I died, usually because it felt like I just finished an awesome movie. I always have enjoyed disturbing dreams and welcomed them personally as just a free movie.

I have to not be stoning out though in order to remember my dreams. Otherwise it is like i did nothing more than close my eyes and then open them back up again in the morning.

I had a funny dream last night though. I was being chased by police ona. Highway while driving with my family. They were acting crazy like when the police chase someone in Grand theft auto. Im fairly certain a semi even got flipped over and caused a fiery pileup. And when I finally pulled over, guess what happened?? There was like a silly pop-up over the scene asking if I wanted a COVID vaccine! Like i was observing the scene on a screen as well as being a part of it. My wife and I were perplexed, like all that #ing mess just to ask if I wanted a poison innoculation.

Don't know if my mind clicked no but that's what the image looked like, and then he just drove off. I woke up later in the morning laughing at recalling that.

Absolutely!

Without looking at other replies first, I could have sworn dreams like that (falling, lack of control all together) were just hallmarks of high stress and lack of control (perception of it or otherwise) in real life.

It might be time to stop overthinking dreams, and get a handle on those things that culminated in this quip:

I can't escape the fact that I've escaped problems no one should be able to several times

No offense here, but my gut hunch is those old problems are weighing heavily on you, and a good head doc might be in order for sifting through yourself.

Sometimes you can't avoid the pasts, or natures, that we don't want to confront. You eventually have to anyway. Life is often less fluffy than the esoteric, it's pretty....straightforward even when we aren't.

just my guessing....

sometime during your prebirth gestation months...
somebody tried to cast a spell over you, perhaps in a vain attempt for you to become noted or famous or some gainful life circumstance

somebody Fubar' ed in an uninformed way, probably accidentally...you got yourself a millstone to carry in life, consult a mystic/shaman/sorcerer or other occultist to part the opaque clouds

Classical interpretation would say that being chased, falling, being guided or directed toward an unfavorable outcome, are all indications of feeling like something important in your life is beyond your control. Indeed, many things are beyond our control in life, but this type of dream is usually associated with something you would normally have a better handle on. Or at least you believe you should though that may not actually be the case.

Think of it as the tension you feel when you are driving on ice and your car starts to slide. Even if you are only going a couple of miles per hour the car continues to slide and you know its not going to stop without hitting something. It slowly transpires with you as a passenger, not the one in control of the vehicle as you feel you should be. The conditions are such that there is nothing you can do yet you feel as though you should be able to do something, as though you are responsible for it. And in the end, just as in our dreams, the final result is not as bad as the tension and stress would have you believe.

The real issue here is that our bodies and minds are amazing and can do miraculous things. One thing they can not do, however, is know the difference between real stress and imaginary stress. As far as our body is concerned: stress is stress.

The good news is you do not have to be just a passenger in your dreams. You can learn to guide them toward a move favorable outcome. The trick is to know your dreams, if they are recurring. Study them, learn from them. Pick the point where diverging from the 'script' would give you the best chance of a better outcome. Have a clear goal in mind, not just change for the sake of change. Know where you want the dream to go and how you plan to get there. You may find more ways to trip up but you can analyze and learn from them too. This exercise does two things. One, is that it helps direct your dreams to more favorable conditions. Another is that it gives you back some control which helps alleviate some of the stress.

If you step off a cliff in your dream imagine a harness around your waist with a carabiner attached to a safety line. If the carabiner fails, whip out that Wile E. Coyote "Acme Inflatable Mattress" on the way down. Change the hard landing at the bottom to a swimming pool at a luxury resort. It can be anything, whatever works for you.

Thanks for the responses. I should clarify that the dreams aren't recurring, the situations change from dream to dream but the outcomes again are almost always very negative. I don't dwell on it as it's the only thing I've known and almost seems normal to me. We all have our crap to deal with, this one is mine I guess.

I'd be up for talking with a spiritualist type just to see what they had to say, I admit I'm more than a little skeptical, but who wouldn't be a little curious to hear things about themselves according to what someone else feels. Finding that type of person is the real trick, wouldn't even know where to start to find a trustworthy one as I'm a Christian in evangelical land.

I would say yes. Be specific that you are aware of the curse and the reason for it and specifically ask to be forgiven for it. And if you pray on a regular basis then add a mention to it in your regular prayers afterward.

This is what 2nd Chronicles 6 specifically says.

37 Yet if they bethink themselves in the land whither they are carried captive, and turn and pray unto thee in the land of their captivity, saying, We have sinned, we have done amiss, and have dealt wickedly;
38 If they return to thee with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their captivity, whither they have carried them captives, and pray toward their land, which thou gavest unto their fathers, and toward the city which thou hast chosen, and toward the house which I have built for thy name:
39 Then hear thou from the heavens, even from thy dwelling place, their prayer and their supplications, and maintain their cause, and forgive thy people which have sinned against thee.
