    For a few years SHE has been able to reverse her dreams. What is that, you may be asking? Well that's when SHE would be having a nightmare and in the middle of it, SHE would realize what was happening and change the nightmare or bad dream to suit her own needs. In that way, the nightmare wouldn't scare her anymore and it would totally kaleidoscope into her conquering the bad. SHE realized SHE was doing it completely in her sleep when SHE was a bit younger.

    As most people know, when they have bad dreams or really terrifying nightmares; they wake up from a sound sleep, sometimes drenched in sweat, out of breath, and even have to turn on the lights just to get that image of whatever horror was in their mind to be chased away by the florescent brightness now filling the room. But what if, while still sleeping and being chased or falling, you could just stop it or change it around to benefit you? Like the often spoken about dream of people falling and never hitting anything. Just feeling that heart in your stomach feeling the whole time.

    Now imagine that happening but realizing what is happening and instead of continuing to fall, stopping yourself or starting to fly sideways and away. You are still technically asleep. You didn't wake up, nor entered a different sleeping pattern, but your brain recognized that you were in some form of danger and wanted to change things around on you. That is what SHE is able to do.

    A while back, SHE had a friend tell her of a reoccurring dream she had since she was a little girl where she was being chased by a dark figure. It was always terrifying but she would always wake up before the figure was upon her. After listening to her friend's story, SHE told her about dream reversal and how the friend could try to train her brain through meditation, acknowledgment, and self-assurance to not think of the figure as someone horrifying but try and see what it was that he wanted.

    More often than not, dreams are just stories your subconscious plays out on a more magnified scale of what is going on in your life at that moment or maybe from the past or the future that you may fear. A lot of other times, our dreams show us messages from beyond what our loved ones wanted us to know. When we are able to decipher what dreams mean and not let them affect our sleep in general, it's a wonderful thing.

    For example, recently SHE had a dream about her upcoming future where SHE was falling behind in class and didn't know where to post her assignments and everything wasn't working. Enough to panic anyone, awake or asleep; right? But her mind quickly realized the problem and started to push back on the negative by changing the outcome from full on panic attack to mild anxiety which SHE woke up with knowing that SHE could do anything.

    Another time, SHE had a dream where SHE was being followed and there was a demon in her dream. Now that SHE knew could be more harmful than good because SHE had dealt with demons before and SHE was wide awake. In the nightmare, her house was covered with cobwebs and the demon was lurking in the shadows. SHE could hear it and almost feel it. SHE recalled her late grandmother in the shadows too but far away, as if sensing that there was real danger near. One would expect her to just cower and let the nightmare proceed as it usually does.

But nope, SHE wasn't the type. SHE learned how to reverse her dreams. So SHE stood there in her dream in the cobwebbed center of her dining and living room area with only the skylight in the living room giving any light to the rooms. Remembering what the demon was like when it came to her in real life when SHE was wide awake, SHE started screaming at the demon in her dream. SHE cursed it out and told it to go back to hell. SHE could feel it receding and though her surroundings were the same, there was a certain light felt within her.

When SHE woke up, SHE knew SHE had beat whatever had tried to attack her in the dream. From the smallest dreams to the biggest and scariest of nightmares, dream reversal works as long as you work on it. It doesn't happen overnight but comes from a truly sensitive and inwardly understanding soul. SHE thinks it's possible that SHE got this idea from reading the science fiction book "The Door to December" by Dean Koontz about Astral Projection. There are the leave body types which SHE described in previous stories in this book and then there's when your mind is able to leave the dream it's in and focus on how to fix the dream to be better, safer, and more peaceful to the rest of the body and soul.

Another example of a dream astral projection is being in the dream and looking at yourself while watching yourself dream. It's a weird description but it's basically when you're dreaming and since dreams are like films, you are watching a film of others and then if you're in it, you step outside of yourself in the dream and are watching yourself while the outer layer of the mind watches that. It's a bit freaky but kind of cool when you realize upon waking up what is going on. Those types of dreams are also great learning tools for dream reversal.

SHE doesn't know when the next crazy dream will happen, but SHE does know that if SHE recognizes it as being something SHE can fix, SHE will be watchful and mindful of what the subconscious is telling her.
