Wet Dreams

Yup, you guessed it....more rain. Sometimes I find that the water level of the weather is too much. But I am not here to write about the weather...this time. Check out the title.

So here it is. Water is the element of emotions, the soul and of dreaming. The more we come into the complete understanding of this, the more we can align ourselves with the water element. The more we align ourselves with the water element, the better we become at dreaming. Check out my youtube video on Dream Walking at http://www.youtube.com/trentdeerhorn .

Someone asked me the other day if having an erotic dream about someone is considered to be dream stalking. The answer to that question is a little complicated. Dreaming is not fantasizing. Fantasy is an escape from reality for stress relief (clubbing your boss over the head with a sledge hammer), for entertainment (Hey, my super hero name is Aquafart!), or as a way of accessing the day dream aspect of the dream weave. The latter can blend into the dream time action.

Not everyone has lucid dreaming capabilities. So to find oneself in an erotic dream when you have not directed yourself to dream that usually means that you are working out some other issues that have nothing to do with the other person or persons in the dream. That does not mean that you aren't necessarily sharing the dream with the other person, but that is more rare. If you are, it may mean that they are dream stalking you, but that is also rare.

If you went into the dream with the intent of having an erotic moment with someone you know, or know of, then this becomes the shady area of dream stalking. Better to just keep that stuff to the fantasy level and not take it into the dream level. That way you are not hurting anyone. After all, there are no thought police.....yet. Sometimes a wet dream is simply a wet dream. There is no need to over analyse it or drive yourself crazy with guilt and shame. We get enough guilt and shame on a daily basis without doing that to ourselves anyway.

And yes, straight folks sometimes have homosexual and lesbian dreams. This is also normal. This is about the masculine and feminine energies aligning with each other within. It means nothing more than that. To get all bent out of shape about something like that is to once again twist oneself into knots. Believe it or else, sometimes homosexual and lesbian people have STRAIGHT DREAMS! It goes both ways. So not to worry folks, it is all good.

Okay, so I have probably tweaked a lot of triggers for people with this one, but what the heck...it needed to be written.

Blessed Be

Dreams After Waking

"All things appear or disappear like the sound of an echo: The clouds in the sky, the moon on the water, the lightning, the sea foam, the trail of a bird as it flies, or the visions of dreams after waking." Master Taisen Deshimaru.

Have you ever noticed how, once we wake up, our dreams and visions of what we were dreaming fades? Some would say that this is because we become conscious to reality. I don't believe, however, that all that is in the physical realm is all that there is to "reality". Part of the waking process might actually be a "falling asleep" process. Shamanic teachings tell us that the physical realm is the dream and that all the rest of the inter dimensional consciousness is the reality. I have learned that this is true. But the trick is to walk both realities and not get caught up on just one or the other.

This can apply to phases of one's life as well. In the few years that I have lived, I have woken up from one phase and entered into another many times. Sometimes the dream has been a good one. Sometimes what I have woken up from is a little more like a nightmare. We all have moments when we wake up and say to ourselves, "Thank God that was a dream!". In life we sometimes wake up and say, "Thank God that's over!". The essence of the situation is the same. We have come from one phase and entered into another.

When we enter into the next phase, however, we still must honour the one that we left behind. We need to thank it for all that it has taught us and for all the experiences it has brought our way. If we can't have gratitude, then we hold onto it instead of letting it go. When we hold onto it we draw it back into our lives in another form. Then we have that wonderful deja vu experience and wonder why it has come back like guzzled beer. The gratitude allows us to sip instead of guzzle and thus we are able to taste all the flavours and fully experience the situation, thus assimilating it fully and releasing it properly. This is not something that happens overnight. It does take some time and certainly takes some effort. When done properly, we can allow the fading process to occur without regret or sorrow and know that, like everything else in life, the next phase will also fade away, making way for the one after that. This is the natural and beautiful cycle that happens each and every day, as sure as the rising and setting of the sun.

Blessed Be
