... became conscious and rejected it. This is an encouraging sign and promises complete removal in a very short time. Subconscient dreams and lower vital dreams are usually incoherent. Higher vital dreams are usually and mental dreams are always coherent. Subconscient Dreams When one is in the physical consciousness, then the sleep is apt to be of the subconscious kind, often heavy and unrefreshing... active in the waking state. All these obscure tracts have to be cleared or else there can be no change of the Prakriti. You should not allow yourself to be disturbed by the press of vital or subconscient dreams—for these two make up the larger part of dream-experience—but aspire to get rid of these things and of the activities they indicate, to be conscious and reject all but the divine Truth; the more... was it awoke and you found it was something not safe to handle. There is no clear indication what this energy was. These dream-experiences do not depend on the waking thoughts as do ordinary subconscient dreams which are dreams only and not experiences. They have a life, a structure, an arrangement and forms and meanings of their own; but they are often connected with the inner condition and experiences ...
... h it when you wake. Sometimes the sadhana continues during the sleep Page 216 with experiences and visions, while sometimes there are only vital and subconscient dreams. In such a case how to make the sleep-state conscious and prolong the sadhana to the night also? It can only be by degrees that the sleep consciousness will entirely throw off the ...
... Guidance from Sri Aurobindo - Volume 1 Dreams THE VITAL AND SUBCONSCIENT DREAMS You recently wrote to me apropos of incoherent dreams: "It depends on your attitude and consciousness; it is by bringing light down into the subcon-scient that these things can go." What exactly did you mean by "attitude" and by "consciousness"... Things do happen on the vital plane — but they are not more important than what happens here because it is here we have to realise and what happens on the vital is only a help. Subconscient dreams and lower vital dreams are usually incoherent. Higher vital dreams are usually and mental dreams are always coherent. Page 220 It was a sexual formation probably rising ...
... , A sleep that imitates death is his repose. (Savitri, Book II, Canto V, p. 164) Even in the tracts of sleep is scant repose; He mocks life's steps in strange subconscient dreams, He strays in a sublime realm of symbol scenes, His night with thin-air visions and dim forms He packs or peoples with slight drifting shapes And only a moment spends ...
... will culminate in a thorough catharsis of the subconscient—sustained personal effort led and progressively replaced by the Force of the Divine alone can accomplish this difficult work—and the subconscient dreams will then give place to subliminal dreams, which are restful, helpful, and revealing. "If our night granted us the acquisition of new knowledge, the solution of an absorbing problem, the es ...
... follow the worse." an actual contact - but the stomach-ache etc. seem to be a foreign intrusion. What happens often in these dreams of the vital plane is that the subconscient (which is mainly responsible for ordinary dreams) throws its figures across the transcription of the expe- rience and one gets a very mixed record. As I have no stomach- ache and, if I had, would... if any non-delightful ache came in the stomach I could at once dismiss it, for that much at least of the semi-supramental force I have developed in me), this item must be put down to a subconscient dream-maker - whether transfer- ring the pain from your stomach to mine or creating it in vacuo is open to debate." 15.12.35 It's come to be a habit now to get out of my body, time... reversal alters the whole balance of the nature." 2.3.37 Last night - or rather early this morning -1 had a dream in which I was vividly aware of being near you and touching your body . But I doubt very much my feeling, because in the dream you had an acute stomach-ache and were rather upset by it! Nirod , too, was near and I asked him to ...
... is true that "intellect" can create art—but that is art of the second order. The greatest art comes from "inspiration", not from the mere "intellect." Man may receive forms from the subconscient, the dream-world, the world of fancies, from the impulse-domain and they would generally be what the forms of these planes are—ugly, strange, repellent etc. " Picasso gives out a secret " ... lived it. A picture comes to me from miles away: who is to say from how far away I sensed it, saw it, painted it; and yet the next day I can't see what I have done myself. How can any one enter into my dreams, my instincts, my desires, my thoughts which have taken a long time to mature and come out into day light and above all grasp from them what I have been about perhaps against my own will?—There ought ...
