3 things you can learn from astral dreaming

In waking life and during sleep, each person discerns what is meaningful and why.  Whether or not you realize, your physical body has a shadow-like astral body.  The real (astral) you travels vast distances astrally, while you sleep.  Since everyone does not recall dreams or even feel the need, you may wonder the point of astral dreaming.  You may be surprised about what astral experiences do for you, even at this moment:

1) Raises your awareness.   If you believe astral is a supersensible substance pervading all space, then you may also come to believe it forms the substance of a second body (astral body) attached to each person by an invisible, ethereal cord. It is always with you, and can leave the human body at will, consciously or unconsciously, and it survives the physical body after death.  As you discern that astral body separates and reunites with your physical body, you begin to recognize feelings of expansion, growth and renewal.

2) Teaches you about energy vibration. Everything you perceive while awake or asleep is energy that vibrates.  Through experience, you evolve to discern different frequencies and register the nature of matter.  The astral body discerns energy differently than your physical body because the astral body is not restricted by doubt and conditioned thought.  You learn about energy distortion and how conscious perception creates that. 

3) Prepares you for transitions.  It is believed that you explore dimensions and experiences on astral planes which prepare you for work you will undertake when you leave the physical world.  You might view this as a way to help you accept and adjust to transitions in your energy state.  If you were not preparing for energy transition, the change would shock you and it would require a period of recovery.  As your soul evolves in consciousness while your physical body lives, you become aware of spirit realms and you strengthen conscious memory.  This applies to dream recall and also other event recall.

Hi Liara.I've never heard of "astral dreaming". Is that just another term for dreaming or are there different types of dreaming?

I enjoy that I dream. For the last while I'd not been recalling any dreams and I felt cheated in some way. Now they're back and I'm happy!

Davina, you can train yourself to recall your dreams more consistently.I would encourage you to explore blogposts in the astral dreaming section on this website. There are different ways to dream. Lucid dreaming is when you are aware of dreaming while dreaming. To learn more about astral and lucid, can also check out sites like the following: http://emol.org/kabbalah/dreams/livinginsideyourdreams/index.html

I am always fascinated by the topics of dreams as I know that dreams hold a lot of messages for us.

I used to look for the symbols in my dreams and what they could mean in my life, but then I heard a really great message from Abraham Hicks, that when it comes to our dreams it is more important to focus on the emotion that one feels while experiencing whatever the dream event is. As those emotions can usually tell us more about our current state of consciousness and what we may be happy about or struggling with.

It made sense to me as emotions are the language of the soul.

Liara,
I, too, believe in the power of our dreams. For me, dreams are where I am most intuitive. It helps me gain clarity on a variety of issues. Dreams have really helped me in tuning in when a loved one is in the process of dying, so I am not caught unaware I often travel (or as you say astral dreaming) those are deep because I end up in some interesting places. Thanks for your insight. Great post.

Evita, dreams always offer whatever you are ready to extract from them. Your awareness of your intent to remember dreams helps you not only sense emotions, but also the vibrations of your desires and beliefs. The energy behind everything you feel is key.

Sandra, whether asleep or awake, you always manifest precisely what you think about. You can be conscious or unconscious, but your intentions resonate through the universe. You project thoughts as images and experiences. This is a very powerful inner ability. Every situation gives you more experience. By the way, you never 'end up' anywhere. You are always where you choose to be although you do not yet have faith or trust in that fully. Accidents do not exist. To evolve into a more fulfilling existence, it makes sense to become more aware of how your feelings are reinforced by what you say. To believe in the power of dreams is a step toward learning to harness the power at your disposal to learn differently. You are purposely evolving at levels that transform you.
