Deciphering Dreams

In many ways, life is a lot like a dream. The dream and the dreamer are one. We are the sources of our own dreams. Without realizing that it is in their mind's eye that the dream is generated; people get lost in the temporary "reality" of the dream. Its true that we really do go through all the emotions and sensations, the ups and downs of the dream ride, forgetting that it is a part of our own self. We forget that we are the architects of the dream to begin with.
If you have ever heard of or understand what lucid dreaming is, you may that there is a connection between waking life and dreaming. In life, the more self aware and conscious you are, the more "awakened" you are. To rise to a higher state of consciousness in life is very similar to rise to a higher state of consciousness in a dream. For example: when having a lucid dream, the dreamer becomes aware that they are having a dream. This awareness actually grants them the power to change what they want and experience what they want in their dream. In waking life, the closer your perspective is to that of your true consciousness, the more power you have over your waking experience.
Lucid Dreaming is not the same as dream control. It is possible to be lucid and have little control over dream content, and conversely, to have a great deal of control without being explicitly aware that you are dreaming. However, becoming lucid in a dream is likely to increase the extent to which you can deliberately influence the course of events. Once lucid, dreamers usually choose to do something permitted only by the extraordinary freedom of the dream state, such as flying.
Flying is something almost anybody does in a dream. Flying in a lucid dream is even better because you are so much more aware of the experience. Reminds me of a saying- "If God had wanted us to fly, he would have given us wings"..
