Anxiety Dreams - Nightmares
These dreams often are fear-based and result in waking up with sweats and heart palpitations. There is generally a situation going on in the person's physical life that results in such dreams. Heed their warning and create change.

Creative Dreams
Within your dream you are shown something you are to create - perhaps something affecting the destiny of humanity. Famous inventors, writers, artists, and musicians were inspired by their dreams.

Color vs. Black and White Dreams
Some people feel that as a dream manifests into third dimension it moves from black and white to color definition. Other believe that black and white dreams are dreamtime but dreams in color are parallel experiences. Further - dreams in black and white indicate an event in the far future - then same scene later manifesting as a dream in color meaning it is getting closer to physical reality.

Episodic or Sequence Dreams
Your dream is like a movie, involving a story that goes on and on in sequential order.

Teaching Dreams

Dreams can have layers that unfold over many days. In that time - Spirit can teach you through symbols of light or other means that raise your level of awareness. Shamanic dreams often teach lessons.

Flying Dreams
These dreams are common. You fly free, escapism, ascension to source - time travel or move through grid realities.

Repetitive Dreams
You have the same dream over and over as if a message is being sent from other side, which you have to understand. Very often it is you sending yourself a message - often a warning.

Precognitive or Prophetic Dreams
You dream about events that manifest in the future usually within 3 weeks if not immediately. These can be personal or universal messages. You may also see your future partner, your children, a place you will live, or future events for the planet.

Universal Dreams
These dreams are related to information you receive from the collective unconscious - the grids of our experience - akashic records - hall of records - that which creates the reality in which we live. Whenever a dream presents symbols of a cosmic nature, in all probability it is a representation of a Universal dream. Such dreams are reflective of religious experiences, and denote changes that are to occur at some future time.

Shared Dreams
You remember the events in your dream, that involve another person. At the same time, another person in your dream remembers the same events

Spirit Dreams
Messages are given by those who have crossed over or a religious icon. These are often the soul of someone you knew - guiding your journey or telling you that they are okay on the other side.

Sexual Dreams
Sex plays a major part in our dream world for many of us. This depends of its importance in our everyday lives. It's a powerful driving force, like hunger and ambition. While we're awake, sex is ruled by social restrictions and conventions, but in our dreams, even the most timid of us can have explicit and excitingly sexy dreams once our repressed selves are asleep. Sexual dreams are very coming during puberty.

Tunnel Dreams
You experience yourself moving through a tunnel into a white light or returning from the light. This may be accompanied by the sound of whooshing water. You may meet someone - or meet yourself - at the end of the tunnel - much like a Near Death Experience. While moving through the tunnel - you may move alone or see others. You can fly quickly or slowly. You can experience emotions with this dream journey - which often brings transformational messages.

Lucid Dreams
As consciousness is evolving to higher frequency of light and sound - so too are our dreams. With this comes the lucid dream in which you can control and alter the events in your dreamtime by realizing that you are dreaming.

If you become a lucid dreamer, this does not mean that all of your dreams are of this type. Dreams vary as with all things your consciousness experiences.

There are many methods to use to create lucid dreaming. Here are just a few.

Before going to sleep - tell yourself think, I am going to have a lucid dream. This phrase will remain in your mind. When you dream - it will activate and you will know you are dreaming.

Next you must fnd a symbol that when seen in dreamtime allows you to recognize that you are dreaming.

Let's say your symbol is the 'sun'. Whenever you see that symbol in a dream - your mind will realize that you are dreaming and begin to interact freely.

For example . . . you are dreaming that you are walking on the beach on a nice sunny day. You look up and see the sun! Your mind relays the message to you - this is all a dream. You now can stop alter the events of this scene - projection - or move to another. The importnat things is expanding your conscious awareness to the point that you preceive the dream as a dreamtime experience.

This takes practice - but can be done. It will help you realize what is occuring on the other side when you sleep and the nature of dreams as projected illusion.

Long ago when the world was young, an old Lakota spiritual leader was on a high mountain and had a vision.

In his vision, Iktomi, the great trickster and teacher of wisdom, appeared in the form of a spider.

Iktomi spoke to him in a sacred language that only the spiritual leaders of the Lakota could understand.

As he spoke Iktomi, the spider, took the elder's willow hoop which had feathers, horse hair, beads and offerings on it and began to spin a web.

He spoke to the elder about the cycles of life ... and how we begin our lives as infants and we move on to childhood, and then to adulthood. Finally, we go to old age where we must be taken care of as infants, completing the cycle.

"But," Iktomi said as he continued to spin his web, "in each time of life there are many forces -- some good and some bad. If you listen to the good forces, they will steer you in the right direction. But if you listen to the bad forces, they will hurt you and steer you in the wrong direction."

He continued, "There are many forces and different directions that can help or interfere with the harmony of nature, and also with the great spirit and-all of his wonderful teachings."

All the while the spider spoke, he continued to weave his web starting from the outside and working toward the center.

When Iktomi finished speaking, he gave the Lakota elder the web and said..."See, the web is a perfect circle but there is a hole in the center of the circle."

He said, "Use the web to help yourself and your people to reach your goals and make good use of your people's ideas, dreams and visions.

"If you believe in the great spirit, the web will catch your good ideas -- and the bad ones will go through the hole."

The Lakota elder passed on his vision to his people and now the Sioux Indians use the dream catcher as the web of their life.

It is hung above their beds or in their home to sift their dreams and visions.

The good in their dreams are captured in the web of life and carried with them...but the evil in their dreams escapes through the hole in the center of the web and are no longer a part of them.

They believe that the dream catcher holds the destiny of their future.

 THE DREAMCATCHER LORE.

The Indians believe that the night air is filled with dreams both good and bad.The dreamcatcher when hung in your place of rest, swinging freely with the air, catches the dreams as they flow by. The good dreams know the way,slipping through the outer holes and slide down the soft feathers so gently that many times the sleeper does not know that he/she is dreaming. The bad dreams not knowing the way, get tangled in the web and perish with the first light of the new day.
