According to popular thought, we carry our worries and hopes to dreamland when we cannot deal with them properly while awake. There is some truth to that, you must admit.
There is no direct way to control and study dreaming, as dreaming happens naturally to everyone, even animals.
Recent studies show that we forget around 95 percent of dreams by the time we wake up, but those dreams that get stuck can help solve or create a problem.
And that implies that dreams can sometimes reach into your subconscious and pull out something you might not have been aware of during the day.
Dreams are personal and fleeting, and they might seem impossible to study, but more scientific ways discover how to get into the minds of people who are learning about their dreams.
On the other hand, dreams can predict some events that are yet to happen.
Experiencing a déjà vu or that eerie feeling of being in the present situation for the first time, but feeling like it had happened before, could also mean a warning brought from a dream.
Dreams are a walk into another realm, connecting us with the spiritual side of our being that is often neglected.
We, as people, are blessed with various spiritual gifts that can guide us through hardships and troubles we might encounter.
The power of dreams depends on how much time and importance you are willing to give to those messages. But the purpose is uncanny.
Those dreams can help you resolve complicated thoughts and feelings, store compelling messages from your waking parts, or help you get rid of unimportant memories.
And while dreams are something personal to you and your experience, there is a possibility to dream from another person’s point of view.
This phenomenon is more common than it might seem, and those dreams can hold an answer to all your wondering.
Sweet Dreams Are Made of This
As complex as dreams can be, they represent unconscious desires, wishes, yearnings, and worries.
And while you cannot resolve anything of complicated feelings, your spiritual power can work in various ways.
The portal to another universe might hide in your subconsciousness and awake as a nightmare, lucid dreams, or those we call normal dreams.
Now, normal is relative from person to person, but some studies show that most people dream in similar ways.
As comforting as that sound, dreams you experience can hold different power, depending on whether to listen to the Universe talking.
It could be a perfect time to resonate with your previous or most influential dreams and understand the spiritual meanings you might be missing.
True Vision or False Reality
We can understand dreams in three ways.
The first is a true vision of the morning light that does not need interpretation.
Unfortunately, these dreams are the least to occur, as they require a clear mind and a free heart, which most people do not possess.
The second deserves an explanation.
The soul is a fine, pure white fabric, often modeled by those who recognize it.
Any color you add to it can change the perception of your path and the deliverance of your intentions.
For those on a spiritual journey, the soul acts like a sponge that can soak up anything and everything but can also be squeezed out from everything futile.
Your dreams might seem like a mess of all those colors you add to your soul.
The dreamer’s mind can possess false suppositions, and you need to separate colors from one another to see your dreams.
The final interpretation is a confused dream.
You might have problems, conflicts, or disputes with your community – whether at work, at home, or in a local grocery store, every nick on your mood carries throughout your consciousness.
When there isn’t a clear solution during the day, dreams are significant to show you a new direction or to let go of the relationship or path that is no longer serving you.
A Fly on the Wall
Dreams tend to usually manifest in two points of view.
The first person is the most common, and when you are off to dreamland, this is the one you are most comfortable with, as your consciousness reflects from the first hand.
The second most common is dreaming from another person’s point of view, where you are watching or seeing yourself from an audience viewpoint, disembodied from your own experience.
Recently, more studies have shown how dreaming from a third-person point of view is becoming more common for some people, especially those who feel detached from reality.
Even though third-person POV might seem awkward and alarming for someone, it can have a purpose in realizing your feelings, struggles, and, most importantly, what resolution awaits.
Feelings are never masked in our dreams. – Hence, understanding how you felt, even while being a fly on the wall, is crucial.
Dreaming while not being in your body can hint at an emotional journey you are going through.
A source of your dreams can be connected to a television experience, where you are the audience and the main protagonist. Or even an antagonist if you are unaware of everything your unconsciousness stores.
Video games can be a culprit if you are invested in the mind-brain relationship for a long time.
The “virtual experience” perception is universal today, especially if we desensitize ourselves from the currents in our life.
False Memories
Have you ever tried to remember some accident or a happy memory that you were certain happened, but your brain could not patch the pieces together?
Or maybe you have heard stories about your childhood and how easygoing and adventurous child you were but could not remember anything from that time?
The accessible way to bring words into pictures is to ground your memories from a third-person point of view.
You might see yourself in the fabricated memory but not through your own eyes.
Alternately, your brain offers a substitute for your experience, using you as a spectator.
Now, nothing is wrong with that, and it does not equal a false recollection, but sometimes this way is easier to understand.
It can be like those dreams where your subconscious refuses to make you the main character.
Not because you were not there, or something happened a long time ago.
But rather as a safe route to protect you if the situation has brought you stress and surge of emotions.
Beyond Your Reach
Remembering your dream after being brought back to the waking world as the dreams flickers away from your memory is essential to completing the picture.
The Universe is sending a message, but it is up to you to pay attention and provoke a reaction.
Dreams that exclude you from the narrative have different meanings, depending on your journey and what the Universe is trying to tell you.
Sometimes we are not listening to the signs while awake, so our spiritual self reaches out through our subconscious, demanding your attention.
If you have great days and nothing weighs you down, dreaming from the third person’s point of view can be seen as a warning to expand your viewpoint.
While focusing on the details, a big picture is lost.
The beginning of the dream can help with looking for an explanation and tying the loose ends.
But since most dreams usually don’t have a coherent track, it might be challenging to understand their meaning.
When you dream in the third person, you should look for context to determine what the dream represents since dreams are the language of the subconscious mind.
Seeing Yourself as a Doppelgänger
Unfortunately, this dream style often comes with negative implications.
You are pulling yourself out of the narrative where you know you were in the wrong.
Maybe your conscious mind does not have problems with your actions and words, but the guilt is eating you up.
As the saying says – this is a break, and you are the sledgehammer – the mind does not agree with how you handled certain situations.
You might have concerns about your behavior, and the sooner you act on fixing it, the sooner your mind can be at peace.
Seeing Your Reflection
Continuing with negative reflections, seeing yourself as a mirror image of your being can bring more negative news.
These dreams can result in financial hardships or relationship problems.
Sometimes seeing your reflection can be beneficial to reevaluating your identity.
Dig more profoundly and find out who you are. You might not like who you find.
Dreaming as a Child or an Elderly Version of Yourself
You are not happy with who you became. Adult life might put too much pressure on you, and the vent is not enough to relieve the stress.
A change is necessary, starting with the cause of the problems.
Work, family, and responsibilities are crushing your spirits, diminishing you to nothing but the profile you are serving others.
Reach deep down and find the happy child you once were. The Universe is full of surprises, and you need to believe in them more.
If your dreams tend to show you in an elderly manner, that could be a foreshadowing to change your stubbornness as it is not benefiting you in any way.
Or show your wisdom in the process of decision-making, as your inner power reminds you to continue on the right track.
However, it could also highlight your reservations about aging and worrying if you have limited time.
The best time is usually in the past, as we fail to realize how fast life could change overnight.
And your dreams are a solitude to reminisce about what made you feel the happiest.
Talking & Fighting Yourself in a Dream
The sequence of seeing yourself in a dream might frighten you, but fighting with yourself could clear out your inner conflict.
Perhaps you are torn between different actions or courses to take, and your dream is grabbing onto the struggle to remind you to choose.
A self-loathing interpretation is possible, in which you need to reach deep inside and either forgive or forget.
If there is a part of you frustrated with some previous actions and decisions, you might conquer your fear in your dream.
A simple conversation could arise a forgotten thought buried before being fed to your consciousness.
You know something deep down, but it is time to acknowledge it!
Third Person Mode
We do not talk about lucid dreams enough, but they can happen to everybody. And they usually do.
If you have ever realized the start of your dreams while dreaming or gained control of the dream narrative, you have experienced lucid dreaming.
Some experts say that lucid dreaming can help with anxiety, depression, and insomnia, but triggering lucid dreams on purpose can leave some harm.
And while lucid dreams can have colorful and animated fractions, it is also effortless to lucid dream in the third person.
The benefits of this dreaming are plenty. You can deal with emotional or traumatic experiences easier and remove recurring nightmares without panic.
Third-person dreams can help you deal with emotionally charged issues. Or a tremendous tool for self-discovery and fantasy fulfillment.
Lucid dreaming is a step into another realm, where it is possible to meet with different people and discuss your issues and what is the following solution.
Lucid nightmares are rare but can help get rid of the unpleasant feeling that comes with bad dreams.
Taking on a third person in lucid dreaming is considered dissociated state of consciousness, but they can bring clarity to a conflict, outside or inside your mind.
Summary
Dreams can sometimes bring more clarity than waking hours, so be careful when interpreting them.
Dreaming in the third person can tell a lot about your lack of control, feeling removed from your life, or realizing that you are on the right life path.
Start listening to the messages conveyed through dreams, as each dream of yours can give new meaning to situations in your life.
How exciting is it to think dreams can be of assistance in a confusing world?
