When we transition from the Theta State to the Delta State there is a significant change in the functioning level of the brain. The Delta State is the Sleep State. You are unconscious whenever you are in Delta. Here the brain has slowed almost to a complete stop. This is the state where the body makes necessary repairs and assimilates the nutrients, vitamins and minerals that have been consumed during the day. Our bodies are rebuilt a little at a time from the atomic level on up. We replace every atom and cell in our body with new ones every 5 to 7 years. We are not physically who we were 5-7 years ago. Again, I believe that is due to the natural cycle of our universe. That is, nothing stays the same and is in a constant state of flux. It is vital for our good health and longevity that we get enough time in Delta sleep each day so that this process of regeneration is not stalled or interrupted.
When we first drop into the Delta State we stay there for about 90 minutes. We then transition back to the Alpha 1 level in the REM State and transition down through to Delta again. We spend less time in Delta and more time in Alpha each time we re-enter those states during the night. We can conclude from this process that spending enough time in the Alpha State is as equally important for us as the time we spend regenerating in Delta. Nature does not waste time or energy doing things that produce no benefit.
The exception to the slowing of the brain in altered states of consciousness occurs in the state I talked about in my last post, the Gamma State. The following is a list of the different wave and their rate of oscillation. Notice the huge difference with the brain activity in the Gamma wave.
- Beta wave – (16 – 31 Hz)
- Alpha wave – (8 – 15 Hz)
- Theta wave – (4 – 7 Hz)
- Gamma wave – (32 – 100 Hz)
- Delta wave – (0.1 – 3 Hz)
Looking at the startling difference in brain activity I am struck with one theory. I think that the Gamma Wave State is similar to our Beta State in the Spirit World. It indicates high brain activity at a rate that is 2-3 times the speed of the Beta State in the physical realm. We have believed for a long time that the Spirit World vibrates at a much higher frequency than we do in our realm. So, it looks like we connect with the Spirit World for short periods of time every night and we need to vibrate at a higher frequency when we do.
I believe that the Gamma State is a state where we receive messages from Spirit and that message plays out like a video when we re-enter the Alpha levels 1-4 in the Dream State. Therefore, accurate Dream Interpretation becomes very important. We need to know what those messages from our Spirit Guides are all about.
This finishes my posts on the Sleep and Dream States. I will begin a new short series of posts on Dram Interpretation in my next post.
