Location...Location...Location...

Location, location, location! The importance of self in a dream cannot be overstated. Firstly the dream takes place inside 'selfs' mind. Secondly everything and everybody in the dream are an aspect of self. There is nobody else inside of your mind but you. Therefore everything is you. Even though you may have a dream complete with characters whom you know by name they not only represent themselves in the dream but also some part of you. In order to come to terms with how this is so we need to examine the dream. One of the first things that I look for in a dream is the location. In what location does the dream take place? is it in a field, a school, a house that you know, near a body of water such as a lake, the sea or a swimming pool. Sometimes this is very easy to identify. It may be one specific area or an amalgamation of places. Don't get caught up for the moment that the places are not identical to what they look like in reality. For example in a dream houses may be on the wrong side of the road. Doors in building may be in the wrong places. Entrances into rooms may have changed or where there was once a room may now be a field. The subconscious is an extremely powerful mind. It's representations are presented in a particular way in order to deliver up a message to you. This message appears as if in code. Instead of observing an image and saying "this is not how it looks in reality", accept the image as another reality. Because in fact it is an alternate reality that exists in your mind and is "real" in so far as your subconscious mind is concerned. Remember the subconscious does not distinguish between what is real and what is imagined. An example of this is when you are watching a horror film on TV. You know that it's just a film, that's its been written by somebody and it's been acted out by actors but you still jump when the scary guy appears with a hatchet! It's the feeling that such an image conveys that really has the effect. It is the exact same in dreams. Consider what the location means to you. Check if that environment is connected with an earlier time in your life and remember what was happening in your life at that time. The fact that the location is jumbled up simply indicates that it represents an amalgamation of ideas. visit www.paulgill.ie

Anxiety

Anxiety  Most people if they are honest have suffered with anxiety at some stage in their life. In truth we all live with anxiety. It is actually an essential way to feel because anxiety tells us that we have something to worry about, something that we need to be aware of that could be potentially harmful to our wellbeing. Anxiety is useful when it gives us important information but it is bad when it becomes debilitating.  Ball of Anxiety People who have suffered with anxiousness have inadvertently trained themselves to respond with a sense of powerlessness. They can be overwhelmed with worry from time to time or indeed live with the constant  ball of anxiety in the pit of their stomach. Asked why they are anxious they may not know. Anxiety leads to a paralysis of the mind. Every day tasks become undoable. Often the person will simply withdraw and stay in bed.  The part of the mind that is responding to the world and to life, that is causing this anxiety is the S...

Time Travel is possible

Time travel is possible Time travel is possible. We are constantly travelling through time and from the beginning from the moment of conception it is fraught with stress. Stress is there from the start. From conception onward we are challenged by stress. We must grow and develop, our cells must duplicate and multiply so that we grow from nothing into a fully formed human being in as little as 9 months. And it's not over then for we have to endure the pressure Labour, been forced down the birth canal, our little newly formed hearts beating at a million miles an hour. We are brought kicking and screaming into this world only then for some doctor to smack us hard across the rear as if to welcome us into the 'real world'.  From day one we integrate those experiences and all subsequent events in our life and we continue to grow and develop as human beings. We always come up against stress and if we deal with it successfully it never becomes a problem and we evolve. B...

I was listening to the radio recently and I heard an email from a listener. The person described themselves as a "functioning alcoholic". The didn't seem to label themselves as just an "alcholic". They thought because they were going about their daily business they were "functioning". The person convinced themselves because of all the stuff they did daily it wasn't affecting them. For someone that 's alcohol dependent they see their world quite literally through rose tinted glasses. The don't know or see what their work colleagues, partner or even children see. The person went on to explain they didn't always have a drink in the morning but wouldn't go pass lunch without drink and that would continue all afternoon. The mentioned that the house couldn't be without drink. It was quite a long email and throughout the email the wording "I NEED" was said over and over. This person was not a functioning alcoholic the...
