Dreams: The invisible stairs

It has been a lazy week for me. I have been sleeping so much. Of course I have had a cold and stuff like that. A few weeks ago I had such a burst of energy and really explored and discovered a lot. Now I am having some down time. That is the flow of life, sometimes fast - sometimes slow. During this time I have had a lot of vivid dreams.

My most recent dream: "The invisible stairs"
Some tall escorts or guides appeared and took me to a white staircase. I climbed up that staircase that I could easily see. Then the guides revealed to me a secret and invisible staircase on the right. I didn't even know it was there! My eyes couldn't even see it or comprehend it but it was there. A huge cliff and a deep dark pit were waiting below. The invisible stairs went up over the pit and to a new level in the sky. I was escorted by the guides who took me peacefully up the invisible stairs. It was not scary even though we seemed to be walking in mid air over that dark pit. Then we suddenly emerged through a field of stars like walking into another world. In that world were many rooms, classes, dorms, other students and a bakery with delicious bread and pastries everywhere. I woke up thinking about that bread and the invisible stairs.

My dreams have always been vivid, colorful and sometimes prophetic of future experiences. They reveal a lot if I just pay attention. Sometimes in the moment the dream seems to be irrelevant so I dismiss it. Then days or years later I have the experience that was foreseen in the dream. It is bizarre sometimes. If I don't write down a dream I usually forget the details by the time the real future experience comes. Now I keep a small dream journal by my futon when I sleep. Any thing I remember I write down because I never know what meaning it may have for present or future times.

I believe dreams are a way to process life, communicate with higher guides and angels, bridge the gap between the conscious/subconscious mind, and help prepare for the future. For me, it also seems that there is learning that takes place during dream time. Perhaps the soul can fly at night and experience many things. My dreams are often about some higher education or learning experience. Alot of the times I feel like I don't have a clue. I assume that some part of me is able to assimilate this dream/soul knowledge into my waking life.

I am sure there will be more dreams to come.
