Last night in my dream I was working on the outline for a lecture I plan to use in the future about all the ways we affect Gaia and ways Gaia affects us. Then someone I know from the internet showed up and asked me a question. I can’t tell you for sure if this person’s consciousness was really present in my dream or not. I have never got a “lock” on this person’s frequency before. Perhaps if I “acquired” this person’s frequency, I could go back and scan my dream for their frequency to see if it was really there. But I don’t think whether or not this person was present in my dream is the important part, I think the training I gave was important. And since I have given this training before, I thought I would write it down and pass it along.

To read about being present in someone else’s dream, read this blog entry Dream Connections.

This person explained that they have been trying to make connections on the internet. This person asked why he/she hadn’t been able to make friends. Something about this dream caused me to shift into teacher mode.

I responded that our interactions with each other people are through the lenses of our I’s (see the blog Reset by Automated Responses for a more information about I’s)… Then my memory of my dream gets a little fragmented. The next thing I remember talking about is changing ourselves and comparing experiences…

We are working to turn ourselves into a glove so that God can reach into the glove and work through our body to affect this dimension (analogy courtesy of Dan T). So we don’t necessarily perform miracles or have miraculous experiences when we want to, but when God needs us to. We meditate, we move energy, we train our consciousness, we expand our governors (see the blog A New Pauduan Apprentice for more information about the governor) so that we are ready to carry out God’s will when he needs us.

Some people will compare the number or type of spiritual experiences they have had to other people’s experiences. God gives you amazing experiences when you personally need to have them. Someone else may need more experiences (or different experiences) for their development. One person may be happy and grateful and continue to do the work if they only have one incredible experience per year. Another person may require many, many fascinating events to keep them working.

The only useful comparison between people, is how much effort they put into their spiritual training. Our goal is to work at developing ourselves so that we are ready and the best conduit we can be when God needs us. So God can reach into the glove we have become, and carry out his work.

There has been a force in my life the last three years that has caused profound change. I have not been able to define this force until recently. This force could be termed my navigator. It has changed the course of my life.

My navigator first showed up when I first found Higher Balance. I was feeling the effects of stress for the first time in my life and I searched the internet for information about meditation. I found the Higher Balance web site and it just clicked into place for me like the first few tumblers of a lock. Somehow I knew I had found something special, something meant for me, something that would ultimately change my life.

The navigator again made a course correction in my life, when I learned about the Star Reach coaching program from Higher Balance. I immediately called to sign up. A young man named Jason answered the phone and listened to my inquiry. He told me to meditate twice a day, every day and call back in one month. Exactly 30 days later I was back on the phone, begging to sign up. Another few tumblers clicked into place for the lock that is my life.

Thus began a long process of meditation, study and other energy and awareness exercises. It seems to me like the way to identify the effects of your navigator is too look at the course of your life. When the course changes, examine the events that surround that change closely. Look for the inner voice, the subtle knowing; that may be your navigator.

I haven’t really been able to identify the effects of my navigator over the next few years. I was in my spiritual apprenticeship, learning my new trade. It was just recently when there seemed to be a correction from a force that was difficult to identify. And I won’t really know for years until I look back and see if this was a pivotal moment, a course correction in my life. I had a dream that felt “paranormal”.

I always try to classify my dreams as normal or paranormal. There seems to be a difference. And one has to experience and remember a number of paranormal dreams to have enough data to tell the difference. The difference for me seems to express itself a different “feeling” or “frequency”.

In a recent dream, the form of Eric Pepin showed up, the night after I had a long discussion with another student of Higher Balance. I have been around Eric enough to identify his frequency. It is very powerful and very unique. Easy to be aware of when you are familiar with the frequency. In my dream, it looked like Eric was there, and it felt like Eric, but it was a very weak signal. Like it was an “echo” of Eric. This Eric Pepin echo told me not to let myself be affected by this student’s ideas and not to talk to this person again.

I believe that is paranormal dream was my navigator stepping in to protect from following the wrong course. And I also believe that my navigator took the form of Eric Pepin because my navigator knew I would listen to Eric Pepin. I may not ever know if I am right about this, but then again, maybe I will.

I had a new dream experience this week. I dreamed I “saw” a friend of mine. This friend and I have first met a Higher Balance retreat in Portland, Oregon almost two years ago. At our first meeting, we talked about lots of spiritual topics; awakening, finding God, using the sixth sense, etc. I was instantly drawn him; like we had known each other in a past life. Since then we have had a on and off psychic connection. And my friend has also played a role in my own work on ego and identifying when I am affected by the emotions of others.

I dreamed I was looking for someone to go mountain biking with me and I walked into a room in my house and “saw” my friend. The scene played out a little differently in my head. It’s like I felt the presence of my friend and then my brain projected the image of the way he appeared last time we met. Before I had a chance to talk I got this psychic blast from him. It contained a lot of data but I was really only able to catch the emotional tones. It was similar to the feeling of “oh great, not another person, I just finished with one person.” Along with that was the feelings of anger, frustration, feeling overwhelmed, and “I can’t do this right now.”

So I slowly retreated and closed the door in my dream. As soon as I woke up, I wrote down as much as I could remember in my journal. I had a feeling that consciousness of my friend had connected with my consciousness during my dream state and I didn’t want to forget. The story didn’t become that interesting until I emailed my friend and asked if he had any interesting dreams lately.

My friend and I have connected during dreams before. But in the past he had remembered the dreams and I had not. Since then I have connected with three other people and I have learned information that I otherwise would not have known. So I now know these connections are possible.

It turns out that someone who knows us both was chatting with my friend right before he went home from work and he asked about my friend about connecting with me during dreams. He asked how is this possible.My friend said that he can pinpoint the time where this question set his mind in motion and unlocked the door for me. My friend also said that I pretty much exactly summed up how he had been feeling and that he had been working late that night on remotely healing someone and that took a lot of energy from him.

I am beginning to think that the important part of dreams is the feelings and information, not the objects or people we think we see. I believe the objects and people are “projections” that our brain put over the tops of what is really going on.

Dreams serve two purposes that I am aware of. One is helping us deal with issues in our lives. But more importantly, dreams are the mechanism that Gaia, the planetary consciousness, uses to collect our daily experiences. Our sense organs send information through our nerves to our brain so we can experience the world around us. Every night when we dream we send our experiences to Gaia so Gaia can experience the world. You could say people are the sense organs for the planet. We provide the input that causes Gaia to learn, to grow, to evolve.
