You are more conscious and knowledgeable when you sleep than you ever are awake

The dream world is one that is very strange and scary for many people. There have been books, movies and songs made about dreams. We go to sleep and all of a sudden we are in this world that is timeless and void of anything we know of reality. As humans we have long been aware that we are conscious. Meaning that we are aware of self or at least what we view as our self in the waking world. What if our consciousness changes at different times and we are not aware that it is doing so? What is consciousness?
This question has been on the mind of man for centuries. So what is consciousness? Looking up the term on google.com these are a few of the definitions of consciousness that come up.

“In common parlance, consciousness sometimes also denotes being awake and responsive to the environment, in contrast to being asleep or in a coma.”

“The analytical, materially-based, rational half of our consciousness. The part of our mind that is at work while we balance our checkbooks, theorize, communicate, and perform other acts related to the physical world.”

“The rational, subjective, linear oriented portion of our awareness. Located roughly in the brain’s cerebral cortex.”

The majority of the definitions correspond to our waking state as the only part that consciousness resides. If our waking self is our conscious self, then what do we become when we sleep? I would say that the vast majority of people will agree with those definitions. We only identify ourselves by our ego state when we are awake. However, to put this limitation on our consciousness is ultimately limiting who we are as a person and our place in the vast storehouse of knowledge in the universe.

When we are asleep, we are more alive and knowledgeable than in our waking state. Our consciousness does not go away it simply changes states. Our consciousness changes states so frequently and effortlessly that we do not recognize when it does and the extent that it changes. Consciousness changes even when we are awake! For example, have you ever caught yourself daydreaming? Have you ever driven somewhere and realized that you have made it to your destination but not remember what you saw or what happened from the start of the trip to the end? You ever read a book and then have to go back over what you read because you did not remember the text and words? Ever talk to someone and realize that they are trying to get your attention back to the conversation?

These are examples of your consciousness shifting. We do it so effortlessly that we barely recognize when we do. We do not fear our consciousness leaving and never coming back in these instances because it is normal. Just as these are shifts in consciousness, so is dreaming. For many of us we actually mistrust our dream state. We fear it. In reality our sleep state is simply another part of our entire being. Not just the physical self. In sleep our consciousness is no longer inhibited by our ego. Our consciousness exits our physical body and does all kind of extra ordinary things. That will be the subject of another post.

However, in the dream state we tap into the universal consciousness. We become more knowledgeable. Have you ever gotten a solution to a problem or heard of someone that has, from a dream? In these instances you are getting knowledge from your higher self and/or from your spiritual guides. When you are going to sleep you can suggest problems that you would like to solve. You can ask a question and often times it can be answered in your dreams.

Unfortunately for many of us our dreams are a jumbled mess. They don’t make sense. This is because our consciousness is so vast that many things that we have access to while on our consciousness travels do not translate into our objective reality. What we remember of our dreams is really a translation that our physical brain has interpreted for us. Our physical brain is simply putting our dream state in a “language” we can understand, so to speak. In our dream state we are no longer bound by the laws of our physical reality. The illusion of time slips away while we are asleep. Have you ever dreamed that events happened over a period of hours or days and you have only been asleep for a few minutes our hours?

My friend, make no mistake. All that I have written you already know. I am simply a conduit for your higher self to connect with you. It is time that you wake up to the knowledge of who you are. As stated before you are far more knowledgeable and alive when you are asleep than you ever will be while awake and in objective reality. It is time for all of us to connect to the universal mind consciously and tap into the knowledge that is ours. You know this. You can intuit this. Now just allow yourself to flow with this.

By the way, if you want to know what it is like when you die then simply explore your dream state. But again, I know you already know that, you just didn’t realize that you know.

Are you a brave soul?
