Meditation and Dreams: Share your experience

[sesame]

I dream in first person most of the time. Whatever I see in my dreams, or whatever I do, I see or do them myself (with my dream body).

But sometimes there is one more dimension; that is the witness. I move around in those dreams, I talk and eat and smell and hear... but there is someone watching over the whole scene, including me. That witness is also me. I watch myself as a character acting out my part in the dream. But that witness is very unemotional, he just watches patiently and never intervenes, neither judges things as "thats good", "this is bad".

There are also some dreams that are quite distinguished from the ordinary ones. These are symbolic dreams. In these dreams, I battle against evil... look for something important... meet special people... get hints that may help me with problems... These are rare; and I usually remember every single detail.

Sometimes I feel as if life itself is a long dream.
