In our journey through the Alpha State the frequency of our brain waves has gradually dropped. In the Beta State the waves vary in frequency due primarily to the brain’s response to stimulation by input from the 5 senses. In the Alpha State the brain waves become more synchronized with far less variation as the brain is subjected to little or no input from the 5 senses. The control that the physical world has on the brain is significantly reduced. As a result, we come into contact with our internal world. We have begun to contact ourselves and we can also achieve contact with a higher intelligence whenever we operate within the Alpha State.
When we enter Alpha level 4 we have reached the true dream state. This is where we experience Rapid Eye Movement (REM). Our eyes begin to flutter rapidly beneath our closed eyelids. When REM occurs it indicates that we are dreaming.
Interestingly, we do not remain in Alpha level 4 for very long. Once REM is achieved, we return to Alpha level 1 and cycle back through to Alpha level 4. When we reach Alpha level 4 again, we drop through two other states, Theta and Delta. After a lengthy period of time in the Delta State we repeat the process by re- entering Alpha level 1 in the REM State and drop back through to Delta again. This cycle is repeated many times during the sleep period and the time we spend in the REM State increases with each cycle and decreases in the other 2 states until we awaken.
As I have discussed in other posts, we live in a universe that is cyclical and here we see that cycle being played out once again. The cycle of beginning-to-end and back-to-the-beginning-again is a very important one. This cycle is germinal as everything in our universe arises from this cycle and is subject to it. When we dream we are making positive use of this cycle.
Researchers have found that if a person is wakened during the REM State their dream recall is astounding. The sleeper is able to process the symbolism of the dream as it applies to themselves. Sometimes, however, the dream isn’t about us. We can envision things for others in the REM state. We are able to contact Spirit in REM State and this is the best place for it to have lengthy contact with us.
Communication with spirit comes in the form of symbols. Knowing how to decode these symbols in order to discover their message opens us up to different world. It opens us to to a world of personal and spiritual advancement. Our dreams are very important.
In my next post I will discuss the Theta State.
