I have become much more aware of the dream state since spending a lot of time in meditation; since meditation often induces conscious dreaming, or stated differently; lucid dreaming. Many times throughout my life I’ve witnessed being aware of dreams pass through my conscious awareness while dreaming. Sometimes thoughts or visions arise quite spontaneously apart from the originator of those thoughts; in other words they come from a higher source and bring messages back to us that offer guidance in the director guidance of our spirit towards decision making. For instance I remember specifically having a message coming through while in the state of cognitive awareness asking me in a melody: Tell me what you goina do with your life? What you goina do? In one unselfish moment, in one unselfish way?
Sometimes the conscious dreaming can also induce visions as well. These visions may be quite conscious during meditation practices. Although the visions are perhaps less conscious during sleep dreaming.
Recently I’ve had more lucid dreams which have occurred during meditation. It is the experience of visually seeing a dream take place while practicing a meditation technique. Or in psychological
parlance, it has having a dream awake. I believe that some of it is due to tiredness. Although like any experience that is somewhat challenging, the consciousness is often elevated by such experiences.
