Eureka! It was simply unbelievable to get all that night-sleep-refreshing-feeling in a 15-minute afternoon nap. A wonder sleep!
No doubt it’s called ‘Power Nap’ and Lance Armstrong exercised it. It is said to benefit our mental-health, increasing alertness, stamina, motor learning and performance hence improving memory by cleansing the useless built-up information in our brains!
So I wakeup from this power nap or wonder sleep as I call it, with a smile. Smiling on ‘a realization’…. realization from an after-thought on a dream I had during the nap.
Dream was a discussion between me and a close person who is a big part of my life. But to my surprise this person in my dream, acted and spoke in exactly same fashion as she does in real. A dream enacting reality. Was it what we call ‘lucid dreaming’, when the mind stages it all intentionally? Certainly a matter to ponder on, to reason this un-imaginative by-product of the subconscious mind.
I find dreams fascinating. They tell a lot about us. Seeing one-self and relative impressions from a thousands-millions of our day-time experiences, observations and understandings coming together in a well scripted dream, deserves more than a skip.
“Images in the dreams are manufactured by the moving brain. The sensations of strangulation, heat, pressure, fear etc., come from the Instinctive brain. Expressions of despair, rejection, caring, injustice, etc., from Emotional Brain. Dailogue comes from Intellectual Brain and degree of vibrancy comes from the Unifier. Also sexually stimulating dreams are influenced by Unifier.” – Mechanics of God.
Factually, we keep dreaming through out the day and night. And like sound-waves are picked up by radio, dreams are picked up by our awareness of them. I guess this dream was one such awareness that caught my attention.
Thinking about a person could be as wide as their persona and its impression on perceiver’s mind. Depending on the intensity of influence of this persona, the same gets adorned on the perceiver’s subconscious mind as well. And later, it may occur in his/her dreams where often the persona-impressions amplify, reflecting on what the perceiver wants to, or has concluded from it though unaware of it on an sub-conscious level.
“Most realizations of dreaming are a result of unresolved issues from the day overlapping into the night”. – Anonymous
This person I dreamt about is like a predictable book, unevenly spread throughout her years shuttling between herself and her-others. Every talk with her ruffles some more pages from the book - back & forth blurting out some more of the already known facts.
Being predictable is boring.
“We are at every moment of our lives, stimulus-response beings.
Impressions are there every moment to stimulate us. Were they not there our fragile three-dimensional existence would dissolve immediately.” – Mechanics of God.
To influence, to inspire, to impress is bold & beautiful. It takes a lot to be a rich in oneself to stir others.
So when someone close says, “I dreamt about you!”, you know you have touched them by your persona, somewhere-somehow.
Keep (being) cool!
