processing deep insight during sleep

AMHAMH
edited November 2011 in Philosophy
I am wondering if others have this. I am about ready to totally fall asleep hours before normal, and I have had many insights recently that I am even too tired to articulate. It has happened before, we went to a group for years and had a deep question/answer period after meditation. This was over an hour from home and my ex husband had to drive home evey time. I would just fall asleep deeply in the car every time even though any other day I ddin't need a nap. I have also had reports from others that even though I cannot recall much of anything while I sleep that sometimes I visit them and it is spiritually focused. That has happened at group retreat type situations.

Now I just want to be more awake, aware and conscious of this. I am putting my notebook next to the bed for early morning notes.

    I think we can learn a lot from this area, and i think that you're on the right track looking into this. I learned quite a bit by trying to stay somewhat aware of dream images beginning to come to the surface as I was falling asleep. Once or twice I have been able to follow them semi-consciously for extended periods before actual sleep, and it was always really a very positive experience for me.

    Okay the only thing I remember is that I was looking in a travel guide type book and it had 2 commentaries on Denmark (my family is of danish origen and kept up some traditions in northern Iowa). So there was one that said the country was ruled my the King, the Queen and the Queen Mother jointly. Well I know denmark has a monarchy and is fairly liberal but it was not the Queen Mother, son and wife but instead the King Wife and ex-wife all ruling cooperatively. Other than an emotional reference to my recent ex-boyfriend who was still married for legal complications I can't see anything spiritual about this one at all, LOL.

    I have had others that, whew, blew my socks off. I still remember when I was abotu 20 and I had so many nightmares of monsters chasing me until one night I just had enough and turned around to face the monster even if it beat me. I didn't even fight in the dream, just being willing to face the monster did it.
