Precognition in Dreams
“Persistence of Memory” by Salvador Dali
When Sara picked up the book, she turned to a chapter entitled “Liminal Precognition”. Perhaps not coincidentally, Sara had a message come to mind before reading it. This week, Sara pulled the “Hollow Bone – Teachability”. This card encourages the user to put their ego on the side and open up their mind to what the universe as to tell them. Hollow bones from birds were used as flutes by ancient shamans. This card’s message tells us to be still, clear our minds, and let the wind play through us, as if we were flutes. The card literally states, “There is an important communication waiting for you.” Wow!
Patch segues by explaining the stages of sleep. First, after we lay down, we enter a state called hypnogogia. During this state, we are between waking and sleeping, Next, we drift into REM sleep. While most people believe that vivid dreams occur only in REM sleep, we actually dream throughout the night. Once we leave the REM state, we transfer into deep restorative sleep, then back to REM. If we naturally wake without an alarm, we then enter hypnopompia, the state of consciousness leading out of sleep.
During hypnogogia, we dream using lateral thinking. Some things that do not normally seem connected to us in our waking life come together during this stage.
Sara and Patch’s Experiences with Precognition and Hypnogogia
Sara circles back to her experiences with precognition during hypnogogia. The author mentions Salvador Dali’s experiments during the hypnogogic state. He would lay down to sleep with a key in his hand, and when he moved to REM sleep, he would drop the key onto a plate and wake himself up. Then, he would paint the images that he saw during the hypnogogic state, while they were still fresh in his mind.
Years ago, Patch noticed that Sara had a good memory of the wild visions in her dreams. Thus, he told her, she must really know her self on a deep level. Most of us do not remember all of our dreams so vividly, but Patch points out that journaling about the ones we do remember is like a letter to our self conscious requesting more memories. Soon, our wishes will be granted. Since Patch started journaling his dreams six months ago, he has started remembering three dreams every night and making major life progress. In his experience, he remembers his hypnogogic and REM dreams best when he is awakened while dreaming.
Recently, Sara woke up with a popular song in her head. It moved her to play the song and listen closely, even though she had heard it a million times before. She had never noticed the lyrics to the song before. When she listened to them, she heard a very important message, and was surprised she had never internalized those words before.
Precognition Through Dream Journaling and Active Imagination
Patch followed up with a piece of advice regarding dream journaling. Sometimes, the message of a dream may not be meant for the day it is written down. This is why it’s important to review your old journal entries. You may come across that important message at just the right time. The Higher Self exists outside of time as we know it, so the message may not become clear when it seems like it should.
Finally, Patch explains his experience with active imagination in dreaming, as opposed to lucid dreaming. He has consulted multiple times with Father Bear, an actual bear who has given him excellent advice. After his dream during the hypnogogic state, he has connected with the Higher Self through his imagination and creativity. Music, writing, painting, and even cooking, are excellent examples of creative ways to make that connection.
