Sesame, and for everyone else who has posted any interest in this thread...

I am curious about the nature of your dreams? Do you dream lucidly? Do you dream in the third person or in the first?

I always dream in the first person. Sometimes my dreams are so lucid that I have very vivid memories of them. I have also been is stressful situations in my dreams and woken up thinking that I'm glad it was only a dream and not real life. Other times I've woken up with pleasant memories and wishing that what I had dreamt was real.

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.

I was feeling a little uneasy about posting my real picture in this forum.
Since most of my friends (people who need to see me) have seen it by now, I am replacing it with an alias avatar.

Hank, I'm not as brave as you are in this regard.

Note: People here are really protective about their identity. The issue is so sensitive that most like to keep their gender hidden. So, I am taking off my image quite unblushingly.

When I get ill, I avoid medicines. I detox naturally and get well with yoga practices. Natural healing is sometimes slow and sometimes lightning fast. It depends on the level you work on. I consider depending on just my body and mind for everything as one kind of freedom. The less I want from outside, the happier I am.

I sometimes use herbs that purify blood and improve circulation. Fresh herbs from the market, or your secret garden work best, avoid capsules if you can. I almost always make use of the six purifying principles of Yoga to get back to sound health.

They are:

1. Neti
2. Dhauti
3. Basti
4. Tratak
5. Nauli
6. Kapalbhati

Tratak is purifying the gaze of the eyes. I have somewhat explained it earlier along with hypnosis. Basti is cleaning of the large intestine. Most people here must be familiar with enema. Basti is similar to that, only it goes much deeper into the body. It goes upto the colon.
I may explain the other steps some other time, depending on public interest.
