I am now following the exciting Netflix series Money Heist. Of late I have been having quite extraordinary dreams. It is quite queer that dreams seem to incorporate various impressions, thoughts, small experiences, feelings and mere associations during the day and then roll them into a story in our dreams. For example during the day my sister's suggestion to pay respect at my deceased mum's niche, my husband's attempt to allay my fears about travelling again and watching Money Heist before bedtime created a dream about me and my mum being in a fix at a travel destination.
Sometimes when you wake up momentarily you recall vividly the story and try to register in your memory; and if it is something interesting you kind of will yourself to sleep and carry on with it. Most times the story doesn't continue and when morning comes your memory provides no clue to the story you tried so hard to register.
Some Buddhist teachers have described past lives like dreams which we can never recall.
A thought came to me relating to this. If a dream comprises of various elements as I have mentioned above, it could very well be that our present life is a melting pot of the multitude of energies experienced in previous lives (if you consider rebirth a possibility). Just like you can recall certain tracks of your dream because of the intensity, I believe events most impressionable during past lives or imprints create energies that prevail and is carried forward to the present life, hence the make up of our body constitution and character including some deep underlining inner feelings and instincts.
In this respect one should try to create more positive energy in this life. To do this I guess we have to be constantly aware of how our thoughts, actions and feelings (which are inter-related) will create the energy field that surround us now and carry forward to be spent in other lives. Our present approach and view of life may likely also be the lens we wear in future lives.
