		<description>Hi Claire, I get those dreams too! I believe they&#039;re called precognitive dreams.  You&#039;d think you&#039;d get them regarding a major future event or disasters but sometimes they can be about something mundane or insignificant.  I&#039;m not sure why they happen. Maybe it&#039;s a preview of what you&#039;re manifesting or maybe it&#039;s a preview of the events you&#039;ve already chosen for yourself.</description>

		<description>Hi Julius, One night at my psychometry/meditation group there was a collumn of Light that our teacher saw created in the middle of the circle. There was a lot of love in the group that night.

She doesn&#039;t usually &quot;see&quot; things like this...but what she saw was earthbound souls slipping into the Light collumn. It made me think of your portals. I come across portals in my dreams at times....sometimes they are in the ocean. They enable me to move from one place/dimension to another very quicky. 

Anna it is always so wonderful to read your blogs and website...so inspiring that so many souls are working hard to grow, heal and help others on their path. Love and Light to all. Elizabeth</description>

		<description>So glad I found your site Anna! I&#039;ve been busily catching up on all the blogs I&#039;ve missed since your site&#039;s inception. Such great information you have on all your blogs!

Just wanted to share some dream experiences and get your insight. Throughout my 32 years of life, I would dream of insignificant things and at no distinct time frame (weeks, months, even years down the road), this dream would become reality and I would usually get the feeling first then the recollection of having seen it in my dream. I have no idea why this happens...it seems so insignificant to me. It could be as insignificant as looking at a piece of reading material or exchanging a conversation with someone.

Also, I frequently dream of flying which is so wonderful. Usually though once I touch the ground in my dream, I find it more difficult to fly again. Once, I dreamt that I was flying over a warehouse and wanted to investigate closer towards the ground but didn&#039;t land because I knew that I wouldn&#039;t be able to take flight again. As I was proceeding to fly back up to the sky, a shadow grabbed me at which time I woke up and started praying because it freaked me out!

&lt;abbr&gt;&lt;em&gt;Claire?s last blog post..&lt;a href=&quot;http://claireophoto.zenfolio.com/p603122930&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Food&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/abbr&gt;&lt;/em&gt;</description>

		<description>I studied how to Astral Travel and how to be conscious in the Astral Plane. I had heaps of time to do the exercises so I had some success in becoming conscious/lucid there. When you choose to awaken consciously in another dimension and you are definately on a path of Light you can be literally attacked by entities that choose to awaken in darkness. I learnt how to Astral Travel by doing courses withh the Gnostic Movement. I used to say the protective prayer/s and like magic you would see dark creatures/entities of all description be removed and then you would just see light and clouds. If you could maintain where you were and then choose to go somewhere else or ask your guides to show you where to go you would go there. Most times when that happened I would usually wake up. These days I don&#039;t try to be conscious in the Astral Plane (4th dimension) as it doesn&#039;t seem to be hugely helpful or necessary for my spiritual growth. Anna was spot on about the lower astral planes. Thanks for the advice on the prayer/request to ask guides etc to help us close up that part of our subconscious. I didn&#039;t know that was possible. Also I think not to be too scared of dark entities as the Light is always more powerful than the darkness. On the rare occassion that I do experience going to the lower Astral areas - usually if I have a temperature or have eaten heavy food before sleeping - I just quicky say...&quot;I ask for the prescence of the most holy and Divine Light and the living spirit of Truth&quot;. That is so easy and I will say it even if I am back here awake and a bit scared in my bedroom. When we ask for the Light it always comes to help. The polite Light I call it as it will never be invasive or try to trick us like darkness attempts to. The real trick is to become conscious in much higher dimensions....where there is only pure Love/Light....aahh Bliss!</description>

		<description>Hi Maria,

How are you feeling before you go to sleep?  Are you stressed or fearful or feeling some other negative emotion?  If your vibration is low when you&#039;re going to sleep, you can take that low vibration with you into the astrals and your experiences will usually reflect that.  Try to raise your vibration before you sleep - for example, relax your mind, let go of any stress or fear and if you read, make sure it&#039;s positive, empowering stuff.</description>

		<description>Hi Anna,

Quick Question: how can I dream in a higher plane? I have been paying closer attention to my dreams lately and I have come to realize that I&#039;m dreaming in a lower plane. It is very similar to earth plane but in slow motion per se. Not sure if I&#039;m making any sense here but I do remember that I woke up and thought whoa yah...low plane dream :(

Also, I thought I had identified my spirit guide but then i had a dream that she was leaving, she told me she had been ordered to leave. In my dream she always appeared as a service worker of some sort, in grocery lines etc but this time she was in my home and told me that &quot;gepetto&quot; told her to leave.

Maybe it is my imagination, being that it was just a dream...any insight from you would be appreciated. Thank you</description>

		<description>Hi Ace,

In response to this question:

&quot;If dreams are real experiences occurring on the astral plane, how does Lucid Dreaming work with regards to that? Do we take control of our experience on the astral plane?&quot;

I have to admit I&#039;m not an expert on lucid dreaming.  But from what I understand about it, lucid dreaming is about more consciously directing what&#039;s happening and what you&#039;re learning in the astrals.  Being in control doesn&#039;t have to mean that you&#039;re not going to learn the lessons the same.  Also, we&#039;re not always learning in the astral planes - sometimes we&#039;re just exploring, enjoying or renewing ourselves.

&quot;How does hardcore, full-on meditation (like four hours straight) work? You keep your mind completely clear for four hours. How is that more restful than sleeping and dreaming, and what happens to our ?astral plane? experience if we don?t dream?&quot;

When you&#039;re meditating deeply, that plugs us in more fully to Source and creates an opening to receive the vital life force that we can access from Source.  We receive that through our Godspark, which is our connection back to Source. We also plug back into Source more fully when we&#039;re asleep, in the astrals, whether we&#039;re dreaming or not.</description>

		<description>Hi Anna!

I&#039;ve only recently begun entering into the realms of unlocking spiritual truths. I have two questions for you with regards to dreaming.

1.) If dreams are real experiences occurring on the astral plane, how does Lucid Dreaming work with regards to that? Do we take control of our experience on the astral plane? And if we have full control over our dream/astral plane experience, how can we learn any lessons?

2.) How does hardcore, full-on meditation (like four hours straight) work? You keep your mind completely clear for four hours. How is that more restful than sleeping and dreaming, and what happens to our &quot;astral plane&quot; experience if we don&#039;t dream?</description>
