Your Dreams Have the Answers to all Your Questions
Several months ago I was listening to my favorite radio show, “Coast to Coast AM”, with George Noory. An Edgar Cayce expert happened to be on, speaking on the life, wisdom, and discoveries of the famous 1900′s prophet, who healed thousands of people from all types of illnesses. According to edgarcayce.org, he would “put himself in a trance-like state by lying down on a couch, closing his eyes, and folding his hands over his stomach. In this state, he was able to place his mind in contact with all time and space—the universal consciousness, also known as the super-conscious mind. From there, he could respond to a variety of questions from individuals across the country. The questions were asked by a conductor of the readings, usually his wife Gertrude, and each session was documented by his secretary, Gladys Davis. These responses came to be called “readings,” and their insights offer practical help and advice to individuals even today.”
He prescribed thousands of natural therapies and folk remedies that healed the sick and lame, giving many diseased people hope in a time when information on corrective medicine wasn’t a call or an internet website away. He was so accurate with his readings that even Vice President Henry A. Wallace used Edgar’s services on several occasions.
But health and wellness wasn’t all he did. He predicted the 1929 stock market crash, warned of an impending World War II, spoke of the Essenes and the Dead Sea Scrolls before they were discovered, foresaw blood being used as a diagnostic tool in the future, and even correctly foretold future mergings of communication companies.
During this “Coast to Coast AM” interview, the Edgar Cayce expert spoke to the audience about a powerful exercise that I have been using ever since — dream asking. Edgar Cayce said that every single one of our questions can be answered by our subconscious mind and our subconscious mind could be tapped into during the dream state. We are, in fact, very aware when we dream, on a subtle and different level. According to Edgar, if you ask a question just before bed, it would then be answered by the time you woke up.
And, it takes practice.
The exercise is simple and consists of a diary or a piece of paper, a pen or a pencil, and a brief affirmation that you whisper as you close your eyes for the long night’s nap.
And, it works!
Here is what I do:
A friend of mine “coincidentally” gave me a diary the week I decided to start this dream practice. So, before I go to bed every night, I write a question in the diary, such as, “Who should I use as the voice of my Star Guild audible book?”
Next, I lay down and close my eyes, whispering, “I’ll remember my dreams. I’ll remember my dreams. I’ll remember my dreams.”
When I wake up the next morning, I write my dream down.
To my astonishment, the dreams are incredibly accurate. For example, when I asked about a voice actor for my audible book, I was shown a young man in his mid 30′s. He and I were walking on a beautiful, but strange landscape, heading toward a city in the distance. I was holding a bottle of water for my companion and whenever he was thirsty, we would stop and I’d give him a swig. When he would speak, I’d think how unique his voice was. When I woke up the next morning, I realized that the landscape we were walking on was the landscape of planet Lumus in my Star Guild book. And, to top it off, within one week I was contacted by a voice actor, given an audition tape by him, and WHAM! It hit me. This guys voice was the voice in my dream! When I looked him up, his picture mirrored the man walking next to me in my dream, as well!
I know, it sounds silly, and perhaps it is, but nonetheless, my dreams have been over 90% accurate by using this technique. (I sound like a salesmen).
One night I asked, “What am I to do with my life?” It was a very general and vague question, because I already knew what I wanted to do with my life, but I was in a very dark and confused place for a couple of days, not knowing where my life was going or if I was even on the right path. So, In a very important sense, I was asking for guidance and help.
That night I dreamt the most beautiful and joy-felt dream that I have ever had. In the dream, I was a ball of light, happy and free, and moving from scene to scene and helping people out, and in the process, easily accepting help (receiving has always been hard for me). It was a short dream, but during that dream I was told to “Live a Life of Giving”. I innately knew that a Life of Giving wasn’t just me giving everything away that I own. No, it was saying that I am to give when able and to receive when someone was gifting to me. I saw that a gift could also be a simple smile, a hug, or a beam of positive energy from one person to another.
Another dream, which also has had a lot of impact on my life, happened when I didn’t have a particular question in mind. That night, and just before bed, I asked, “What do I need to know?” And, just like before, I had a profound, life enhancing dream. It was long, so I won’t get into it, but the voice at the end of the dream said, “See the good in all things, and in everyone.”
And, these dreams keep coming. I can ask anything, even what book I should write next, or what is the best way to find an artist for my book cover.
I have found that sometimes dreams don’t make sense in the morning, but I have found that throughout the day I’ll suddenly get the “ah-ha” moment and the meaning immediately opens up.
So, to everyone out there reading this post, I ask to please try this for one week. If by day 5 or 7 you don’t seem to be receiving any dreams, then either find ways you can dream more successfully (there are several suggestions online) or realize it can take more practice.
Dream on!
