The world of dreams is a mysterious one, and challenges science to think beyond the superficial relationship between our daily life and our nighttime working mind. Some dreams are premonitory, they can help us make decisions, they give us glimpses of other lives, of other places. Some people can meet each other in their dream. It's a place where our spirit is connected to other souls, spirits and worlds.
After my nightmare last night, I've been thinking a lot. Fever is associated with pain. Through the physical experience of pain, is it not possible that our soul opens up to the spiritual world of pain? Do our nightmares at times of suffering teach us something specific? My nightmare was one of the holocaust, and upon awakening, I realized I might have witnessed an actual experience, perhaps shared by a soul or souls, who latched on to my receptivity. Isn't empathizing with the horrors of victims of the holocaust a precious gift? Isn't the strength that can come from it one that might help eradicate these events in the future of the world?
Treasure your nightmares.

Ahhhh! This nightmare does indeed sound like a frightening experience, especially if it felt real enough to feel like you were experience a real life experience. Dreams are indeed mysterious, and perhaps there is no way to know whether you were experiencing something that truly happened or whether there are some other reasons for having this dream. However, in either case, I'm sure there are lots of potential learnings intertwined within the dream. It seems like dreams frequently have a hidden ocean of wisdom hidden inside them, especially dreams that effect us strongly.
You know, I don't think I've had a genuine nightmare for many years. The last time I can think having a nightmare was when I was maybe 12 years old. At that time I had this same nightmare three or four times. I was trying to run away from someone or something that was very scary, but whenever I would try to run my legs would barely move and I would be moving at the pace of a very slow walk. I would always wake up at the moment when someone behind me in the dream would touch my shoulder. I was always incredibly frightened during this dream. But this is the last nightmare I can remember having.
I believe that nightmares can teach us things, but they are hard to sort out because the element of fear keeps us from seeing what the message might be. Dreams are important and we should try to dream and contemplate on them. I am 55 years old and I still have dreams. Some people seem to think that at some point in life we don't dream anymore. It's like imagination, it is necessary for a complete life. I dreamed recently that I was carrying my mother-in-law in my arms. She was very light. I don't know what this means. She was in a wheelchair before she dies. But maybe she was sending me a message.
