The Seven Levels of Dream Time
and How They Direct Your Life
by Diandra
Uniquely designed for our benefit, dreams offer a treasure of discoveries
The dream state is a very individualized state of consciousness containing seven levels, all uniquely designed by humanity for its benefit. Let's take a look at what happens to us in the dream state.
First Level
When you enter into your dream state, it is often a time that you process information which you do not have the time to process in your waking existence. Many times, this is all you are doing - simply processing information. Once the information is processed, you place it into your daily understanding and your daily life.
Second Level
When you go into a dream state that says, "I have processed, but I do not understand," it is a time that you can begin to integrate your understanding at a much more rapid pace than when you are in a conscious, awake state.
In your dream state, you have the capacity to isolate what would be distracting to you. Now, you don't always do that, but you have the capacity to do it. Oftentimes, not only are you are processing, but you are understanding what you have processed.
Third Level
The third level of the dream state is when you choose to interact with others. You are not interacting on the astral level, but are partaking of an emotional exchange that you cannot do on a conscious level when you are awake.
You choose to interact in this dream state because it is a little bit safer than in the waking state. You’re not having to look at that physical person. You're not having to interact with those who are going to be threatening. It's a rather safe time for you. Why do you feel it is so safe for you to interact in your dream time? The reason you feel so safe on these levels of consciousness is because it is you who designed the dream time.
Sleep was designed to allow time for you to disconnect from everything you have entangled yourself in, to look at it again and perhaps say, "Oh, my goodness, this is a monster over here!" Maybe the monster is going to be a wild animal in this dream that you have created. You realize, "Wow, I have to look at what I created!"
You know you're very safe in analyzing and experiencing during your dreams, even if it is a nightmare that you will wake up from. You may be frightened for a short time, but you recognize you truly were safe. Had you gone into the cage with the tiger when you were awake, it's reasonable to conclude that it may have eaten your body. In the dream, of course, the tiger did not literally eat your body. Dream time is an extremely safe time of processing for you, and being unconsciously aware of this, what you will not allow in your awake time, you allow in your sleeping dream time.
Fourth Level
The fourth level of dream state is the play state, what you consider your out-of-body experiences, those times when you have been out in the universe. You know you've been somewhere during the night, but you don't quite know where.
You may have traveled throughout the universe, but it's not a serious thing. It's sort of a satisfying of the mind. The body can't get there, but your mind can in your dream state. Some have very vivid recollections of this and others do not. You will think it was a dream. Sometimes you will say, "I know I was there," or you will be awakened and say, "I don't know where I was, but I wasn't here," or you'll feel the "jolt" when you re-enter into your conscious state.
That is the play area, designed as you choose to design it. If you want to put monsters in your play area, you are free to do so. If you want to put those that have beauty and light there, that's what you'll do. It is your play area. You are in control of what you put in it.
This is a very healthy state of being for you, and I encourage you to use it. It is a process of release, of creativity and of lightness. It is where your nightmares will take place as well. You often drift from the third level to the fourth level, back and forth.
Fifth Level
When you enter the fifth level of dreaming, you take on an aspect of learning. It is truly a time when you are allowing yourself to connect with the higher part of yourself. You will be in school, and this school will be defined for you in many different ways. You may have the sense that you have been in a classroom setting where you are truly learning, or this learning may not be in the usual classroom setting. What you learn here is not a remembering, it is a learning process. You are learning on all levels as compared to just learning on the conscious mind level.
The state of consciousness you call sleep allows freedom. Do not deprive your soul of the resource of sleep and dream time.
All parts of you are choosing to learn. In those schools of learning, you may bring back to your consciousness perhaps one or two of the ten things you learned. The rest is going into all that you are in many other universes and many other dimensions. This occurs because everything is happens simultaneously with responses and connections in all sources. What you're learning, you're not just learning for here, but you're learning for perhaps twenty universes away in your existence there as well.
Now, that learning may be an entirely different application of what you've learned than what you are going to bring back here. This is what you're doing when you think you've been in school. Have you ever wakened in the morning really tired? This happens because for much of the night, your mind kept processing and processing. You are learning this new information.
Sixth Level
When you move to the sixth level of your dream state, you are beginning to determine what that learning means, how it elevates you spiritually, where this is taking you, and what your soul path is in all of this awareness. (When I say the word "soul," I do not restrict the soul's existence to the planet. Please understand, I would never restrict such a great part of who you are to this planet alone.)
You begin to process and integrate this learning during your sixth level of dream state. "How does Planet Z fit with Planet A in this? And, How does Individual B that I am so connected with out there, help me to connect here?" or, "I'm still connected here, but I'm not connected there. We need to be connected there because we have great work to do over here, but somehow we got so scattered and so far away. How does this happen?" You see, they too will be learning, so how do you bring it together?
Seventh Level
It's likely that while you can talk about Level Seven, you'll never truly understand it because it's totally spiritual. It is what sustains your life or existence. It is what brings to you the substance, the essence and all that you are.
What Else is Going On?
Dream time is that inner action where you have an awareness that something is taking place. But, what's going on with you during the rest of your sleep time? This is where a great deal of the power of your existence takes place; you are making some very fundamental choices and decisions that you refuse to make when you’re awake.
Have you ever woke up in the morning and suddenly said, "Oh, I want to do this!" or "I have the answer to this!" Well, how did you wake up knowing this?
Do you know why you allow yourself to know? It’s because you feel safe in the dream state. In the daytime, when you’re interacting with so many other life forms that you feel could be threatening to you, you’re so busy defending or attacking that you don’t feel safe enough to do the things that you do in your sleep time.
The state of consciousness you call sleep allows freedom. You often escape there for your direction in life. During sleep, dream time is allowed to be. Do not deprive your soul of the resource of sleep and dream time. It is of great benefit to your experience on Earth.
