I got home from my class at college and was exhausted so I decided to rest my eyes for a bit. Well that pretty much turned into sleep for a good 2 or three hours. The dream I had was so twisted and surreal, also had me welcoming darkness or evil into my life.
Anyway I'm a little fuzzy on the details but it was one of those dreams, more like a nightmare where everything looks normal and really close to reality except weird stuff happens. All I remember was an evil presence around me and my willingness to show no fear and accept it. At one point in the dream the evil presence pretty much merged with my body and I had excruciating stomach pains like it was tearing up my insides. Still I didn't cower and I took the pain and integrated with it.
Normally a dream like that would have me scared and waking up with a pounding heart, but that wasn't the case. It was a deep knowing that nothing could hurt me and fear was pointless.
Hmmm, I had a somewhat similar dream. I was somewhere in the Midwest, around people I've never met before. Very rural, and farmer type of folks. It was almost a Wizard of Oz Doomsday. Tornados were popping up left and right. I emerge from a cellar with people attempting to pull me back in. I brush their grips off like fixing a minor wrinkle in my shirt. I am standing in awe of the beauty, yet havoc these +100 tornados are causing. One spawns directly infront of me. I wake up. "Cool," I murmered getting up to go take my dog on a walk.
I think these subs are instilling fearlessness through dreams, the safest way and less time consuming. The pains are odd. Did you workout or do something else that caused it?
Yeah the dreams are all about fearlessness lately, which never happened to me before. In fact I'd say I was plagued by a lot of nightmares but it's like that saying "the only thing we have to fear is fear itself". I can see how a lot of the stuff in my life wasn't scary, it's just me making it scary.
The pain was a bit odd, but at the same time I'm used to it. I can't say it was from working out, it's just my twisted imagination haha. I've experienced a variety of pain in dreams. I've been stabbed, shot, fallen off buildings, punched in the face, flesh ripped off(zombies haha), and way way back in my childhood eaten by trees. Yes trees lol. If you have ever played Mortal Kombat II that stage with the trees that have faces is pretty much what I dreamed of haha.
So pain is quite real to me during my dreams and always has been. Is this the same for you or is there no pain in your dreams? Dreams are sometimes the craziest things for me because they feel so close to reality.
