Esoteric Knowledge of Dreams

Rapid Eye Movement (REM)
Our attention generally follows the movement of our eyes, i.e. our consciousness is usually
focussed on whatever our eyes are looking at. If we want to focus our awareness on
something that is non-visual we tend to de-focus our vision or close our eyes to help us
concentrate. As stated in Chapter 7, our eyes instinctively look up to the left when we
access our rational mind (mental body) and up to the right for the creative mind (causal
body). This phenomenon is related to the rapid eye movements we make during REM
sleep. Dreams are a mixture of recall and creativity so our eyes constantly flicker when we
dream.
REM sometimes also occurs during meditation some practitioners mistakenly think it is
an undesirable distraction that should be prevented, but it is a perfectly natural
phenomenon. A psycho-therapeutic technique called Eye Movement Desensitisation and
Reprocessing (EMDR) uses forced rapid eye movements to stimulate both sides of the
cortex in order to release traumatic memories.

Dream sleep is similar to the waking state in that the consciousness thread is connected to
the physical-etheric brain, but that is where the similarity ends:
Waking State: the physical body is active, the physical brain is externally focussed and
the emotional-mental body is present.
Dreaming State: the physical body is passive, the physical brain is internally focussed
and the emotional-mental body is absent.
The events, emotions, thoughts, memories and lessons we learnt the previous day are all
reviewed, organised and stored in our lesser causal body while we dream. The process
can be compared to defragmenting the files on your computer (persona) and backing them
up to an external storage device (lesser causal body). The monad rapidly switches its
awareness between the three units of the triad in order to organise the data, and this
causes the rapid eye movements. The vibrations within the persona (etheric, emotional
and mental bodies) set up sympathetic vibrations in the lesser causal body, which produce
a permanent copy of the days lessons and experiences. During the process, memories,
desires, emotions hopes and fears are churned up in the subtle bodies and are perceived
by the nearby etheric body. The physical-etheric brain tries to make sense of these
random thoughts and feelings by compiling them into a story which we experience as a
dream.
Dreams are not the main reason for REM sleep; they are merely a by-product of the
process just described. Some dreams are random and irrelevant, some are simply for
entertainment and others are distorted memories of out-of-body adventures (that occurred
in the preceding period of deep sleep). Dreams are the conscious minds (monad +
physical brains) perception of activities from one or more of the bodies:
External Physical-Etheric Stimuli: The absence of the higher subtle bodies causes the
physical-etheric brain to become overly sensitive to stimuli from the physical body. Any
physical stimulus, such as a touch or a sound, is blown out of all proportion in our
dreams. Being under the duvet may give rise to a dream about being buried alive, or a
banging door may give rise to a dream about being shot.
Internal Physical-Etheric Stimuli: If there are no external stimuli for the physical-etheric
brain to seize upon it may create a chain of thoughts from its recent memories.
External Emotional or Mental Stimuli: During sleep our emotional and mental bodies
are free from the dampening effect of the physical body so their sensitivity is greatly
increased. Other peoples fragmented thoughts and emotions that randomly drift
through our subtle bodes are seized upon by our consciousness. Even the slightest
sexual stimulus passes down the consciousness thread into the physical body and
causes morning glory.
Internal Emotional or Mental Stimuli: Our frame of mind and the last thoughts we have
before falling asleep leave residual vibrations in our subtle bodies which often influence
our dreams. Our out-of-body experiences from the preceding period of deep sleep also
leave residual vibrations which can make their way into our dreams.
If stimuli are received from more than one source, the monad will create a dream from all
the different perceptions, which can give rise to some very strange dreams.

Types of Dream
Dreams can originate from any of our subtle bodies and have a variety of different causes,
but only people with causal consciousness (enlightened or above) are able to ascertain the
precise cause of a particular dream and therefore give an accurate interpretation.

Associative Dreams: Dreams are often fluid, non-sequential and bizarre, especially if
they are based upon events relating to the emotional or mental worlds. The physical-
etheric brain has no experience of these multi-dimensional worlds and has great
difficulty in making sense of them, so it often substitutes a similar person, object or
event in an attempt to make some sense of what it perceives.
Symbolic Dreams: Some dreams are symbolic and occur when our guardian angel or
higher self try to tell us something. This method of communication only works when the
waking consciousness is able to decipher the symbolic message; otherwise it is a
waste of time. There is no universal code (or book) which can be used to interpret
dreams because they are all personal.
Lucid Dreams: Lucid dreaming is ones conscious perception of the dream state,
resulting in a much clearer or lucid experience that sometimes enables direct control
over the dream. The so-called lucidity comes from the physical brain being partly
internally focussed and partly externally focussed. Lucid dreaming is no more real than
regular dreaming; in fact it is a cross between regular dreaming and day-dreaming.
Day-dreaming occurs when waking consciousness turns its attention inwards; away
from the outside world. The consciousness thread is not detached and the emotional-
mental body does not leave.
Prophetic Dreams: Prophetic dreams or premonitions demonstrate that our monads
meta-consciousness has a wider range of perception than our normal waking
consciousness, which actually extends beyond the present and into the future. Refer to
the section on precognition in Chapter 14 for further details.
Dreams of Past Lives: Young childrens dreams may include memories from their past
lives. The subtle bodies, being new for each incarnation, do not contain any memories
of previous lives, so dreams of past lives originate directly from the memory of the triad
permanent atoms. Young children can to access memories from their triads, because
they have not yet forgotten who they really are and they dont identify themselves as
their physical bodies in the way that most adults do.

Remembering Dreams
The waking consciousness finds it much easier to recall memories that were actually
experienced, rather than those that were just witnessed or heard about. Dreams are
created by the meta-conscious and viewed by the waking consciousness, so unless a
dream is very intense it will be forgotten in the next sleep cycle. In order to remember a
dream we must consciously know the pathway that leads to the memory of the dream, and
this requires our physical brain to awaken from its internally focussed state and become
externally focussed. It is common to wake up briefly at the end of a period of REM sleep,
since we are on the verge of normal waking consciousness anyway, but because our
bodies are so relaxed we usually drift back of to sleep immediately. However, if we go to
sleep with the intention of remembering our dreams we will usually wake up after each one
and be able to recall it.

Time Distortion
People sometimes have dreams that seem to last many days or years, yet only a few
minutes of physical time have passed. This is because we have nothing to objectively
measure time against in our subjective dream world. Dreams such as the one described
earlier where a person shot is in the dream and simultaneously woken by the door bang
clearly only lasted a fraction of a second. The monad is meta-consciously aware of the

www.esotericscience.org/articles/12b.pdf Page 3 of 5
 Esoteric Knowledge of Dreams Lee Bladon 2007

bang a fraction of a second before the waking consciousness becomes aware of it, which
is plenty of time to devise a dream that incorporates the bang.
A rapid return to the physical results in the physical body jumping or jolting as the
emotional-mental body snaps back into place. In such instances, the monad often creates
a falling dream where the impact with the ground corresponds to the emotional-mental
body snapping back into the physical-etheric body. The dream is created in the fraction of
a second between the consciousness thread being reconnected and the subtle bodies
returning.

Sleep Paralysis
Our physical bodies become temporarily paralysed when we dream. Conventional science
believes that sleep paralysis is a safety mechanism that prevents the physical body from
acting out its dreams but has no understanding of how it works:
The monad relinquishes control of the physical body during sleep.
The physical-etheric being has control over the physical body during deep sleep, when
the monad and the subtle bodies are absent.
Neither has control over the physical body during dream sleep, when the monad is
present but the subtle bodies are absent so the physical body is paralysed.
The physical-etheric being can wilfully control the physical-etheric body only when the
monad is absent, because the monads consciousness is vastly superior to its own. But
the monad can only control the physical-etheric body when the emotional and mental
bodies are present (to act as intermediaries). During dream sleep, when the monad is
present and the intermediary subtle bodies are absent we have a stalemate, which results
in the physical body being paralysed. The monads presence in the physical body prevents
the physical-etheric being from taking control, but the missing emotional and mental
bodies prevent the monad from taking control.
The eyes are the only part of the physical-etheric body that the monad can move when the
subtle bodies are absent, because eye movement is controlled by the basal brain (via the
etheric body which is present) whereas the major muscles are controlled by the motor
areas of the cortex (via the mental body which is absent). If you decide to move your arm,
the instruction from the monad must travel through the mental body, emotional body,
etheric body, physical brain and nerves in order to reach the arm muscles. If just one of
these steps is missing, the signal will not get through. The link between the eyes and the
etheric (energy) body is evident from the fact that our eyes feel heavy when our body is
low on energy and needs to sleep to recharge itself.

Temporary Waking Paralysis

Temporary waking paralysis is a condition characterised by the temporary paralysis of the
physical body for a short period upon waking. The person is fully aware, but unable to
move for several seconds. Conventional science can offer no explanation as to how or
why this occurs, nor can it explain the hallucinations that often accompany this state.
When we fall asleep, our monad and emotional-mental body leave our physical-etheric
body. During dream sleep, our monad returns but remains internally focussed. When we
wake up, the monads consciousness becomes externally focussed again, but if the
emotional-mental body has not yet returned the physical-etheric body remains paralysed.
Temporary waking paralysis is caused by the delayed return of the emotional-mental body,
but what could cause such a delay? There are a variety of terms for temporary waking
paralysis around the world; the English translations of which are listed below:

www.esotericscience.org/articles/12b.pdf Page 4 of 5
 Esoteric Knowledge of Dreams Lee Bladon 2007

The witch riding your back (USA) Dead climbing on top (Mexico)
Witch pressing (Germany) Demon pressing (Hungary)
Dark presser (Turkey) Ghost bed press (China)
Pressed by spirits (Korea) Ghost silencing you (Laos)

There are many different explanations of the cause of waking paralysis, but they all share
a common and somewhat malevolent theme:

A ghost or spirit lying on top of, or pressing down on, the person (Vietnam)
A spirit or ghost sitting or lying on top of the sleeping person (China)
An encounter with a Jinn; a non-physical humanoid being (Islamic cultures)
A rakshasa (black magician) hindering people working towards enlightenment (India)
Mara or Mare, a female demon who causes nightmares (Scandinavia)
A witch or hag riding a man as he sleeps (medieval England)
A mohini (female demon) riding a sleeping man (India)

The return of the emotional-mental body is delayed by a malicious entity. In many cases
this is a female entity who attempts to bring a sleeping man to orgasm so that she can
collect the subtle energies he releases and use them to sustain her subtle bodies. The so-
called hallucinations that medical science associates with temporary waking paralysis are
nothing of the sort they are actual perceptions of non-physical entities resulting from the
temporary disruption the malevolent entity causes to the persons etheric web. It is
interesting to note that many alien abduction victims describe being paralysed whilst
experimented on sexually. I suspect that the many of these abductions are encounters
with non-physical entities and involve their subtle bodies only.

Occasionally a paralysis experience may be accompanied by a strange but not unpleasant

sensation of powerful energy flowing through your body or your brain. These occurrences
are not malevolent but are caused by benevolent healing angels re-balancing your subtle
bodies (probably at the request of your meta-conscious).
