better at Buddhist practices in dreams

evolve

I practice and read Buddhist stuff a lot,and when I dream its like what I practice is magnified. What I feel during the dream is magnified and I see it even clearer and more true. Does that make sense?

Once I was having a scary dream and there was a lot of ghosts, then I was getting scared of them but then I had compassion and my fear faded away and compeltely changed the energy of the dream

Another time I had a nightmare the world was ending because of a crazy bomber guy and then I was practicing buddhism and trying to do everything I knew to prepare for death and I was laying in the "sleeping lion position" and practicing letting go. Then I saw the crazy man and asked for a glass of water, he agreed and then I had compassion and he ended up not destroying the world.

This stuff happens a lot, all my dreams are beginning to have buddhism in it and it truly makes my dream take a different turn. and Im even able to control the energy of dream when this happens.

Sometimes to make my buddhist practice more clear in waking life, I remember my experiences in dream..
Has this happened to you? is there anychance I will experience similar things in the bardo states between death and rebirth?

I once had a dream where I saw demons and a dark castle very dreadful. The point where I came to realization was when a demon threated me and I bit its face somehow. Then I realized what a horrible place I was in so I sat down and meditated.

Hi

Dreams are often the purging/purifying/catharsis of what is stored in both our consciousness & subconscious mind.

Your expereince simply means the wisdom your mind is developing thru Buddhism is manifesting deeply in your mind/psyche. Wisdom is entering into more subconscious levels of your mind/psyche. This is very good.

Best wishes

Ditto to what DD said. Dreams are reflections of our waking mind without all the rules and restrictions. Using Buddhism in your dreams means you are using it in your waking life, its just in dreams your mind can more easily jump from one thing to another because it doesn't have to deal with the constraints of the external world.

I take dreams to be what we simultaneously long for and what we dread.

Longing to touch the heart of Buddhism.

Fearing to touch the heart of Buddhism.

Dreaming about Buddhism and actually putting it to use in your dreams is awesome! It's like it begins to manifest in your dreams and then in this reality. Wonderful!
