My nightmares tended to have this "end of the world" sense to it. I was always alone and everything was burning and gone. The sky was on fire as well. No more animals, just me and aliens.
Dreams are fascinating--but I think that's all they are. They may get us thinking about things here and there...give us something to think about. But, I believe there is very little, if any at all, spiritual wisdom to be gained from dreams.
I once spoke with a Sidhi master. He told me quite bluntly that dreams are dreams and have no special meaning in our spiritual journey. This is quite a bold statement to make, but I tend to agree with him. But, who am I to say? What do I know about it? Not much, I confess.

I hope this has helped you to feel a bit better about it all.
I tend to agree with your theory on long-distance travel. I surmise that the answer lies in the power of thought and consciousness as well. I believe there is going to be a quickening point when our potential to utilize thought and consciousness as a tool will surpass technological/mechanical means. I am just a dreamer though
Writing my OP, getting so many positive responses and results, and replying to peoples' questions have been very helpful for me. It certainly lifted a great weight from my shoulders. Thanks goes to everybody for that.edit on 16-7-2012 by NarcolepticBuddha because: (no reason given)

Of course I don't mind. There are other posters like BlueMule who hold dreams in high praise as well. And I've been waiting to hear his/her take on my experiences since he seems to be quite knowledgeable about dreams.
I have a very large catalog of profound dreams and I spend much of my time thinking about them. Many of my discussions with friends revolve around telling each other our dreams. I have even had a few dreams that seemed to be precognitive of future events. But in the end, I feel that all one can do is continue to think about them without ever really knowing with %100 certainty what its meaning and message were.
When I say dreams don't matter--What I really mean to say is that they don't give us spiritual wisdom and advancement. I am always willing to change my views if something convinces me otherwise. I don't write my rules in stone.
Having said that, I'm going to examine your posts on the dream and the analysis.edit on 16-7-2012 by NarcolepticBuddha because: (no reason given)edit on 16-7-2012 by NarcolepticBuddha because: (no reason given)
Do you have your dreams posted here in the thread? If so, I missed them. This thread has grown soooooo fast, it is hard to keep up with all the posts. (CONGRATULATIONS!)

I mentioned a few dreams, yes...but did not include much detail, just the basic gist of it. As presented in previous posts, there is not enough detail to really analyze them. I do agree that symbols have important meanings. But it is up to an individual to decide what symbols mean to them. No one else can do that. We learn symbols differently, in different contexts, and associate them with different feelings.
For example, take the swastika. It is a symbol found in much of the ancient world including Native American and Hindu motifs (and many more). It was a symbol of peace and prosperity.
Just look at what one man did to that symbol. It now means something entirely different to a lot of people...and yet, it is the same symbol.
Yes, the thread has grown very quick beyond my expectations. Not to worry, I just got turned down on a job interview so it looks like I'll have a little more time to pay attention to the thread.edit on 16-7-2012 by NarcolepticBuddha because: (no reason given)edit on 16-7-2012 by NarcolepticBuddha because: (no reason given)

Why on your opinion so many people for different cultures, etc. Has those experiences similar to yours mine or others in the thread? Global consignees about what? When? Where?
Much of the fear is generated by unknown survival instincts. My biggest suggestion is know thyself, and be gentle on oneself as one gazes in one's own mirror.

Really sad to hear you and your bro, the one who looked after you so much when you were kids, is now not really on speaking terms. All the sadder since he is your only sibling (as far as I can gather). I hope the day comes in the not too distant future where you can both put your differences behind you and become friends again ((((many hugs))).
