Dreams come from a variety of sources. The issue we face is we carry many dreams within our nonconscious mind independent of those which our current mind may create. The question we need to ask ourselves and explore is what hold passion in our life and what gives us passion. What excites us about life and does what excites us come from our truth or the programming we have received. Only in exploring our passion will we begin to see we dream reality into creation and adjust our dreams so as to become a conscious creator of our experiences and creator of the reality we experience.

The particular origin of any one dream has a significant impact on how they manifest and how their manifestation impacts our life. However, the bottom line is that we will have a dream or dreams in our mind and we will carry them in our life for we do dream reality into creation whether we realize it or not or accept it or not. Our dream fuel our actions and our actions transform the reality we experience.

We are free to choose at all times and we may, or may not, have the desire to manifest any one particular dream that we carry. The only recommendation that we make here is that we become aware of the dreams we carry and manifest those that bring an internal joy and happiness which doesn’t run dry. These are dreams that are somehow tied directly to the heart or are some how in alignment with the heart.

To become aware of the dreams we carry we need to understand how we dream the dreams of our ancestors and live the dreams of our ancestors and how we can be impregnated with the dreams of others. We also need to understand how their dreams may or may not align with our heart and/or what we desire to create. Some of us have incarnated to continue the flow of life as it is. Others have incarnated to change the flow. So it would appear there is an opposition that is inherent in Physical Creation. However, that opposition only exist when mind lives within the ego and supports the ego as opposed to become that detached witness to see why things exist as they do and what flow pattern is in the best interest of all as opposed to serving the ego of the individual or ego of humanity. It needs to be understood what our ancestors dreamed and understood no matter how accurate they may have been about Creation, is not necessarily in alignment with Creation as it is today for Creation is always changing.

Ego exists to allow the heart to create what it desires as described in the role of mind in navigating from the heart. Ego does not exist to serve ego’s ends or have the heart serve the ego. Whether we believe it or not, or wish to accept it or not, the desire of the Heart of Creation, the Source of Creation is to play and the essence of that dream lies within our heart. We will have to do our own experiments to prove this to ourselves. No one an prove it to us. The desire of Creation is to be in the spontaneous and innocent childlike play of discovery and exploration. It is only mind and it need to control, to separate things into parts, and judging some aspects as good and others as bad, that takes one away from both the spontaneity and the innocence of the play. But in reality, it is not the mind itself that does this. Rather, it is the ego thinking it knows how the Universe works for ego can never know for mind continually awakens and goes to sleep.

The ego that arises from the mind will always have an awareness less that sufficient to fully understand. The reason for this that there is only an instant in time when one is fully awake on the sleep and being awake cycle. In that moment of turning from being fully awake and going back to sleep one is capable of fully knowing all that is. It is in that moment we are capable of being that Playmate of Consciousness. However habits usually keep most locked into patterns that have been generated when asleep so we don’t allow ourselves to be fully aware in that turning point to utilize it in the most effective way.

For example, death of the physical body is one such turning point. When we fear death or are not open to what the death has to offer by continually struggling to live we are in a habit of the past and not open to the awareness that is available. Hence we past though the awareness never fully benefitting from it. However, there is one catch. Even if we catch that moment of awareness and sit in the moment with no past and no future because there is no time only the illusion of time in comparison to a past or future event, we will return to sleep. With no movement, consciousness will go to sleep. It is why Consciousness desired Playmates in the first place. Unless there is someone there to awaken with us, to create with us and play with us, we will go back to sleep. Without play and Playmates, there is no movement. For Consciousness to remain awake, it needs a Playmate. If there is no movement we don’t know whether we are sleep or awake. All we can do to know if we are awake and to know what being awake looks like is to consciously create something and see who is really in our life and who lives in the illusion of our ego that we created.

If we are not awake and consciously creating, we are living the dream of our ancestors with which we have been impregnated. There are three primary ways we can be seen as living the dreams of our ancestors that they have created to experience Creation in their journey to become the Playmates of Consciousness. They are; 1) We fulfill a desire of the collective consciousness that brought us into the world; 2) We fulfill the individual dream of one or both our parents or their parents if their dream was of having offspring; 3) We live in the world created by the dreams of our ancestors and those who have gone before us.

The most fundamental dreams

The most fundamental dream of existence that we each carry is to play and create the reality of our choice to play. It is the desire of the consciousness within, or behind, Creation, to find a playmate. It is the dream which gave rise to Creation.

The next most fundamental dream is the dream to have life and have a physical experience. It is the dream which is responsible for creating our life and brought us into life. Our life is to live this dream. That is why we are here in Physical Creation. It can be seen a the intention for our life or the business of our life and is experienced as the dream within our heart. The question is, "Do we live the life we incarnated to live and that flows within our heart or do we live a life created by mind that only comes into existence after the reason for our living became manifested in a fertilized egg?"

In addition to these two dreams, there are five other types of dreams that we can carry. They are dreams of the collective and of the physical plane, dreams of our human ancestors, dreams of our parents, dreams of our society and dreams of enculturation, and dreams of others

Dreams of the collective and of the physical plane

A consciousness, whom we have elected to call Om, dreamed of the physical plane and created it. Whether we believe Om is only the creator of Physical Creation or the Creator of all of Creation, is our choice. However, to take full advantage of our creative ability and creative power we have available to us, it is better to see Physical Creation being create by one of an infinite number of individual points of consciousness and we are participating in their Creation.

Whoever comes to experience this Physical Creation lives the dream its ancestor, its Creator, Om. One of the thoughts of the Creator about the Physical Creation is the concept of the human being. Our consciousness elected to have a physical experience as a human being and experience the world created by the Creator of physical creation in that form. As such it lives the dream of Om as to what humanity represents and how humanity has come to define itself within physical Creation. In incarnating, we have agreed to play by the rules of Physical Creation and who and what humanity thinks it is. In the same way we go to Disneyland or any amusement park, we follow the rules of Disneyland or that amusement park. Without thinking about them, we follow the rules of physical Creation in much the same way for they are not too different from how Consciousness itself lives and creates. Our physical body as our vehicle for the physical experience as a human being is what holds our consciousness accountable to following the rule of Physical Creation as long as we inhabit that body.

However, we are only bound by the rules of Physical Creation that actually create the physical experience. We are not bound by how humanity has come to think it is, nor how the Consciousness of Om had originally designed the human. In Om giving itself and its creation to us as a sandbox to experience our unlimited creativity, Om will support our creative endeavors even if we destroy the sandbox that supports human life for that can be one lesson about creating. There is a need for mindfulness and awareness as to what we are doing and why we are doing it. We need to be very mindful and aware who and what we are serving. When we follow our body wisdom we are both following the dream which brought us into Physical Creation and the reason as to why Om made a physical body available to us. Here again, Om does have its desires and wishes for Physical Creation.

Dreams of our human ancestors

We all live the dreams that our human ancestors, our parents and their parents, have created both genetically and culturally. Anyone who follows any tradition, whether it be spiritual or secular, are living the dream of their ancestors. Almost all human knowledge is only the dreams of one or more of our human ancestors. Even the models, no matter how "good" and accurate they appear to be, used by scientist that allow us to tap into the understanding of nature beyond human life and essentially independent of human life is only a creation of the human mind and a dream of, or for, understanding carried and held by a human or humans.. That is, those who created the models. .

We are the dreams of our ancestors for there is an intention that brought we into our world and we live the tradition in which we were raised. For example, we can look at returning to the example of Walt Disney. When we go to Disneyland, we enter the dream and creation of Walt Disney. Walt Disney created a dream and manifested it, all who support the infrastructure that he started one way or another whether to visit or work there are living and manifesting the dream of its creator, Walt Disney and it subsequent unfoldment. He has since died and Disneyland, Disneyworld, and the other facets of Disney’s dreams go on having a life of their own. They evolve and change but they all grow from the seed that started them. The same is true for any tradition, organization or structure created by our ancestors.

Dreams of our parents

A third way we manifest the dreams of our ancestors is through the dreams of our parents. Through them, we get thoughts and ideas about Creation whatever they may be and whatever their origins. Although many children are conceived unexpectedly, many are conceived because their parents have dreams of raising a family. Similarly those who don’t want the child also had dreams about families. Not having a child to live life unburdened by children is a dream just as much as the dream of having one. In any case, in addition to the dream for the family, parents have dreams for each of their child at to what they may become. On this note, to neglect a child is just as much acting on a dream as nourishing the child. The children in turn, become impregnated with the desires carried by the parents and their ideas of success. As a result most have never been nurtured to learn how to manifest the dream in our heart and what we incarnated to manifest. They are too busy manifesting the dreams given to them to their parents. It must be remembered to abandon a child to be free from the responsibility of nurturing the child that was brought into this world is just as much a dream as any other and that dream is passed on to the child whether or not that parent is around. Whether that dream takes root in the fertile mind of the child to grow can only be revealed in time.

Dreams of our society and dreams of enculturation

Each family, each society and each culture has their own ideas about, and views of, Creation and what is means to be a member of that family, society or culture, and how we should live in the world. In this regard, each family, society and culture has its ideas of success both in the physical world and the afterlife. We each are enculturated with these ideas as we grow and mature in life. More often than not, these views reflect the desires of society and the desire of society to have each of its members serve that society. Most will need to overcome their enculturation to find the truth of their being and then do their own experiment to see how their family, society or culture does or does not allow one to live their truth.

Dreams of others

Any individual can plant ideas and beliefs within any other individual. Some beliefs and ideas rob us of our creative ability and creative power where as others allow us to grown, expand and further develop such power and ability. Additionally, ideas about life and ways of being in the world can easily turn into a dream. Whether these ideas and beliefs allow us to align with the dream of our heart and serve us or they serve another entirely depends on how those beliefs and ideas align with our heart and the free expression of our creative spirit. The challenge is to know our own truth and to eat and digest all the ideas and beliefs of others keeping that which serves us and nourishes our true needs and our truth and discard the rest.
