An insightful article by Latin American spiritual master Samael Aun Weor on the nature of dreams.... Useless Dreams An excerpt...
rest and recouperation is never useless. i beg to disagree entirely that dreams have any one nature. nor that their nature is in any way uniform from one dreamer to another. symbolic representations of our real world anxieties CAN take place in them. but so can completely unrelated parallel universes of totally realistic experiential environments as typify my own. i've just been watching something on youtube called faeworld, and the discription, minus the dnd aspects, the environment and its aspects instead, the lushness diversity and life, yet never does it impinge and technology is diversely abundant as well, and fully functional. but technology as a fae world with no antipathy toward logic, and with an aesthetic of universal consideration. i'm not suggesting wish fulfillment, but neither more nor less self control then awake, but you can build things by mentally shaping them, and sometimes you do this unintentionally. and the only way you know you're not here, is that some things, physical things, work differently then they do here. otherwise its just a complete equivalent world, only not in any way bound by the mundane perceptions people are constantly persuading each other of all that is neither physical nor themselves. those with such axes to grind might slander this as chaos, which i guarantee you it is nothing of the kind but likewise my point, is that neither is it limited to what is within ourselves, even partially let alone entirely. we are still us as much there as here, but that is the only limit if it even is one.
As per eastern philosophy and psychology, dreams are related to desires and psychological impressions within instilled by social conditioning. In a Buddha or enlightened sage , these psychological impressions have been cleaned up, and consequently there are no dreams. You can see for yourself by experience that deep sleep without dreams is more refreshing than even pleasant dreams and especially unpleasant dreams. I have noticed that meditation before sleeping helped me to have more deep sleep in proportion than sleep with dreams. I had created a similar thread in this regard with these observations... Jiddu Krishnamurti on the nature of dreams and their cessation... Osho has explained in the below article on how Buddha slept in the same posture without movement , which was also observed by his disciple and cousin Ananda. This aspect of Buddha has been recorded and emphasized also in numerous statues of his lying down in sleep. When the mind is silent, not dreaming, only the body sleeps. Consciousness remains alert…OSHO
