Dreaming Of Falling Down

Saturday, June 26th, 2010

One of most common, yet one of the most feared dream experiences is a dream of falling or nearly falling in a dream. The dream experience can be as simple as falling out of your bed or as extreme as falling off of a rooftop, building, ladder, cliff, mountain, or out of an airplane without a parachute, to name just a few.

Regardless of how high the dreamer falls from in the dream, the dream experience is generally extremely terrifying because of the dreamer’s complete lost of control in the dream experience, which is often accompanied by the fear or possibility of dying or getting hurt in the dream. As a result, the dreamer often wakes up afraid, hyperventilating, filled with anxiety, sweating, struggling for breath, with their heart pounding as if their heart is about to explode right out of their chest.

Common Causes Of Falling Dreams

Although there are hundreds of reasons why a person experiences dreams of falling, the most common are: guilt, fear of a situation, problem, crisis or dilemma the dreamer is experiencing in the natural when they have little or no control over or answers for. As a consequence, the individual often experiences feelings of helplessness physically, and emotionally both in the natural and in their dream states, thus opening the door to experiencing a falling dream or a dream of almost falling down.

The depth and emotional stress caused by the falling dream as a rule is determined by the severity of the fear, guilt, situation, problem, crisis or dilemma the dreamer is experiencing in the natural in their awake state.

Although Falling Dreams can result as the result of a loss of power, fear, guilt or loss of control, there are is yet another aspect that often plays into the psyche of the dreamer and the dream equation, and that is self punishment. Because self guilt is a part of man’s DNA, when the dreamer loses or is losing his power over a situation, guilt sets in and the dreamer subconsciously tries to punish himself in their dream state because he blames himself feeling that he is responsible for a problem and deserves to be experiencing punishment for events occurring in his life.

Other Causes Of Falling Dreams

A rebellious attitude, fear, doubt, confusion, betrayal, deception, indecision and blindness to a truth make for propelling forces that have people falling in dreams. There also can be insecurity in a marriage, relationship, family member(s), career, workplace and finances.

In some Falling Dreams, this type of dream can result because of an inferiority or inadequacy the dreamer has or feels he has in regards to the dreamer’s marriage, relationships, career, workplace that is causing the dreamer to feel he cannot measure up to the challenge before him that is demanding some action to be taken on his part.

Based on the dreamer’s circumstances, for the dreamer to dream he is falling can also represents shame, sorrow, lack of confidence, or pride in himself in regards to the dreamer’s life and accomplishments And because of these haunting feelings, the dreamer feels he is looked down on or not always included.

To the Christian, falling most often represents and is symbolic of sin or a demonic attack on their finances, career, workplace or a family member through others.

Tuesday, May 4th, 2010

The majority of travelers that journey to Iceland each year do so to experience its unique, diverse natural beauty that is unlike anything you will find on gay vacations in other countries. From volcanoes and Europe’s largest glacier, to the Northern Lights and the sparsely populated island of Grimsey on the Arctic Circle, Iceland offers unmatched opportunities to experience the outdoors in a whole new way. Kayaking, hiking, rafting, ice climbing, bird watching, whale watching and ocean fishing are all popular activities throughout the country and are ideal for inclusion in adventurous gay tours.

Visitors who prefer an urban vacation will also find just what they are searching for in Iceland, especially in the capital city, Reykjavik, which is where individual travelers and folks traveling with gay tours will find a variety of historical and cultural attractions, dining and shopping, a beautiful waterfront, museums and an exciting nightlife.

Travelers on gay vacations to Iceland will not want to miss the bird watching opportunities and natural beauty of Grimsey, a small island just 25 miles offshore. Sandvik, Grimsey’s only town, has a population of just 150 and is Iceland’s northernmost settlement. The island is home to numerous bird colonies and is well known for the steep cliffs found along its shores, which have long been a draw for sightseers partaking in gay travel to Iceland. Visitors with a keen eye may also spot polar bears onshore or just offshore on ice drifts coming from Greenland.

While on Grimsey, participants on gay tours, as well as solo voyagers, will not want to miss the opportunity to get their certificate showing they crossed the Arctic Circle.

Visitors will not want to miss Videy Island, a small island just moments from the shore where travelers will find various sculptural art pieces and Iceland’s oldest stone building.

The time of year chosen for gay vacations to Iceland is an important factor in determining which of the country’s natural phenomena you will experience during your trip: the Polar Nights, Midnight Sun or Northern Lights.

But, regardless of when you choose to plan your gay travel to Iceland, gay travel are not complete without a dip in the world-famous Blue Lagoon, just 45 minutes outside of Reykjavik, where visitors will find a pool of fluorescent blue, geothermal seawater enclosed by black lava rocks.

Gay Vacation Packages To South Africa

Monday, March 15th, 2010

South Africa was a gay tours place long before it became the first country in the world with a constitution outlawing discrimination based on sexual orientation and the fifth country to legalize same-sex marriage. With the fall of apartheid and these two historic gay rights events, the allure of South Africa has increased substantially among both straight and gay travelers. From the glorious beaches of the Western Cape to the fast-paced excitement of Gauteng, South Africa is the gay-friendliest country on the continent and is an ideal location for a gay vacation.

Gay vacations to South Africa often include stops or entire stays in Johannesburg, Cape Town and Pretoria where gay and lesbian travelers will find an array of gay-centered and gay-friendly events, activities and establishments. There are a wide variety of establishments that cater specifically to gay men, including guest houses exclusively for gay men, Camp David in Pretoria, which is a private all-male nude bar, and the bathhouses ” called steam baths or steam saunas ” in Cape Town. As in many areas, gay culture in South Africa centers primarily around activities and establishments for gay men; however, lesbians and families also have many opportunities for fun-filled gay vacations in this culturally- and historically-rich country, including gay-friendly tours organized by companies dedicated to working with the gay and lesbian community.

Gay travelers interested in designing a gay tour around pride celebrations and gay events may want to plan their trip for September, which is South Africa’s gay pride month and offers a full calendar with multiple gay pride events, as well as the Out in Africa South African Gay & Lesbian Film Festival in both Johannesburg and Cape Town, which draws over 16,000 attendees from around the world. Those visiting in December will have the opportunity to experience Cape Towns Mother City Queer Project annual costume party, which draws more than 10,000 visitors. Gay men who enjoy a beach lifestyle will also want to check out Clifton’s Third Beach and Sandy Bay nudist beach, which are very popular spots among gay men in Cape Town. There is also a gay area in Cape Towns Green Point where travelers will find a selection of gay-owned and gay-friendly eateries and establishments, as well as local gay publications like Outright and Exit, which list events and goings on in the area.

Dining options during gay vacations are plentiful with many choices that include options like the gay-owned Lola’s vegetarian caf in Cape Town, dining in an old farmhouse on a 21-acre farm at the Bellgables Country Restaurant in Johannesburg, or fine dining at gay-friendly Emily’s, an award winning Cape Town eatery offering South African cuisine, as well as a beer bar and wine bar.

To ensure a great gay travel experience in South Africa, enlist the assistance of a professional travel agency when planning your trip. Travel agents that regularly organize gay trips to South Africa will have up-to-date information about the best places to stay, eat and play, as well as safety tips for exploring in areas that may not be as accepting.

What Is Meant By Spiritual Travel

Saturday, February 27th, 2010

Traveling for many is a way of unwinding and recharging their batteries but often at the end of one’s travel there is still a feeling of not feeling satisfied which is when it pays to consider spiritual travel as a means of finding fulfillment. Sometimes, all the Gothic cathedrals in the world and all the lovely Madonna portraits are not enough to lift up your spirits and so it pays to consider traveling to a place where you can find spiritual awakening.

Gay spirituality travel is more than a catch phrase meant to make you seek some far off destination. As a matter of fact, traveling for spiritual reasons is not new because from the very earliest times in our history people have made pilgrimages. Traveling for religious purposes is not a new concept and as far back as in the early 16th century Spanish nationals (Jesuits) used to travel to places such as Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina to build missions where natives would be educated in the Christian religion.

In these modern times, traveling for spiritual reasons has become more popular and there are numerous options to choose from that include going to places other than Yucatan, the Vatican and also Egypt. The best way to lift up your spirits is to travel to places where the surroundings are idyllic and a good example is a Buddhist monastery which is mainly found in Asia though some are also located in Europe and in the United States.

For the real Buddhist spiritual travel experience you ought to consider making Bodhgaya (located in Bihar in India). This is the very place where the revered Lord Buddha sat and obtained enlightenment beneath a huge Bodhi tree. Today, this place has seen a huge Mahabodi Temple complex being constructed here and which is inhabited by Buddhist monks from every part of the world.

This place is exceptional as it provides utmost serenity and it is truly very peaceful. You will come across monks from every corner of the world who too sits beneath a gigantic carved statue of Lord Buddha and who read from the Holy Scriptures and indulge in serious contemplation.

Bodhgaya is really the true home of different Buddhist monasteries that in turn are maintained by some Buddhist monks that have come here from their respective countries. For those people that wish to fly to Bodhgaya there is the close-by airport of Gaya that is just seven miles from here. However, flights arrive here infrequently and whatever flights that do land here are those that are coming from Kolkata.

To get the best out of your visit to Bodhgaya you need to plan your travel during the months November until February. You should also avoid coming here during June up till September which is when the rains lash Bodhgaya and make it hard to do any contemplation.

For those of you who wish to enjoy special gay retreats then a trip to Bodhgaya is certainly a good option and the best time to visit here is after September and before the summer months begin. The best time to come here is however between November and the month of February while months between June and September are the worst times which is when the monsoons hit this part of the world.

Create Your Own World Through The Law of Attraction

Thursday, May 7th, 2009

We are so filled with mis-beliefs. We think that they are just beliefs and or disbeliefs but in reality, they are way off. The beliefs we hold are misguided at best. There are some that we are completely unaware of altogether. How can this happen?

How do we spend our lives loading up with beliefs that generate more beliefs to support those beliefs? We start downloading our beliefs between the ages of zero+ and five. During this time, we are unguarded, unprotected in our minds; we just sponge up everything that comes our way and we spend the rest of lives subject to the effects of those stored beliefs.

Our mistaken beliefs include things like: money doesn’t grow on trees, I don’t deserve my greater good, I am not smart (pretty, kind, funny, etc.) enough. People can’t be rich and spiritual, everyone in our family is negative, everyone in our family is overweight, the only way to get what I want is to work myself to death, life begins after retirement, the world is in a terrible mess and we can’t fix it, my vote doesn’t count, I can’t be a good parent, my children are impossible….well, you get the idea.

If you could release all of the misbeliefs and replace them with positive peaceful beliefs, what would you say? All you need to do is say The One Command and you shall be set free. To properly say The One Command, simply, say I dont know how I make smart decisions, I only know I do Now, and I am fulfilled. Once you have completed this, Stop! Know that you indeed are blessed and released from your old addiction.

Yes, thoughts and beliefs can be addictions just like ice cream, or cigarettes, or even running. Be Aware. Know that you have thousands of addictive thoughts and beliefs that not only don’t serve you, they also block you from your good. Release Yourself. Be free, and know how to keep yourself that way. With The One Command, you can even free yourself from thoughts you don’t even know you have. I don’t know how, I release all thoughts that don’t serve me, I only know I do now, and I am fulfilled or I don’t know how I forgive myself for my past mistakes, I only know I do now, and I am fulfilled.

When you first are trying this technique, negative thoughts do not mean you are not succeeding. It just means that you have set those thoughts free to your conscious mind. Now, you will be able to release each one of them. I bet by the time you have released three or four of them the rest will disintegrate as thoughts travel in packs and feed off each other. Go forth and prosper is the only thing left for you to do.

Understanding the Universal Law Of Attraction

Thursday, April 2nd, 2009

What the Universal Law of Attraction says is that the things that come into our life are a result of our thoughts being focused on them so we can attract good or bad things.

Usually we do not plan to attract things into our life. Our daily thoughts are focused on the issues we are dealing with and we are trying to work through the problems we have. When we focus on our problems and that is where are thoughts are always at we are likely to attract more of the same into our lives.

It’s like your mind is a magnet and you can’t help but attract things, good and bad things. Magnets also do not try to draw metals to them, it just happens. We are always attracting things into our lives even if we are totally unaware that it is happening. This is even true when we are sleeping. The things we attract are those that we are focused on. If you focus on the things you do not have than you will have more experiences of NOT having those things. If you focus on the things you love instead than those things will be attracted into your life.

Your mind is a very powerful thing and when you use it to focus on the things you want in your life you have the power to draw these good things into your life.

For example, if you want to change something in your life, if you want to become more attractive, confident or creative, if you want to attract love or wealth into your life- download and use Subliminal Flash software. It imprints positive affirmations in your subconscious mind. Subliminal Flash users are like walking magnets, they attract prosperity and success.

Have you heard the old Proverb from the bible that says “As a man thinks in his heart, so is he”? The unique thing about this proverb is how the refer to thinking with the heart when we are used to thinking with our minds. If you think with your heart you send out signals to the Universe and the Universe will respond to your thoughts and desires.

The heart is where your power really is because that is the part of your body that can communicate with the Universe. The heart is magnetic and draws to it what it wants and focuses on.

It is like we are a radio and we are changing the station frequently. When we leave the radio, or our heart, on a specific station, that is the signals that go out into the Universe.

To get less of the things you do not want in your life, you need to be on the correct frequency so your signals to the Universe are about things you DO want.

The Art of Deliberate Attraction can be broken down into three items:

1. Understanding and really knowing what it is you want in your life. 2. Tuning your heart and mind together so they send out the right signals to the Universe. 3. Being open to receiving the things you ask for.

Many of us miss the chance to use the contrasts in our lives to fine tune our thoughts and desires and focus more on the things we truly desire. You should pay attention the the contrasts in your life and use what you learn to refine your focus. It is not easy because we are used to talking about and thinking about the things we are unhappy with in our life not focusing on the good.

Being open to receiving the things you ask for is sometimes the hardest part of all. We often miss opportunities to get the things we want because we do not believe in ourselves or in the power of the Universe. We hang on to negative thoughts and emotions.

The thing we all need to do is to open our hearts and minds and believe in the power of the Universal Law of Attraction.

Why the Law of Attraction Is Not Making You Wealthy Beyond Your Dreams

Monday, March 16th, 2009

A lot of people think there is really no truth at all to the power of the Law of Attraction. These people need to be aware that even though they don’t believe, the Law of Attraction is affecting their life and quite possibly the reason for the negativity in their life.

Wealth is what most people want so here is some information about the Law of Attraction and why you are not rich.

You need not believe in or think about the Law of Attraction for it to operate in your life. In this respect, it is like the law of gravity which is always there and always in effect even if you forget all about it.

There is a scientific truth to the idea that our brain emits vibrational frequencies. The Universe responds to your brain’s frequencies by bringing into your life the things you are most focused on in your thoughts. The things that you are in tune with are the things you get in your life.

There is a difference between the negative emotions you send out into the Universe like worry, fear and stress about not having enough money and the positive emotions others send out into the universe of appreciation and love. The more you send out the negative emotions the more problems you will have with money.

Feeling like money is the only thing in the world that could make you happy actually causes the Law of the Universe to send you the opposite because you are focused on the negative aspect of money in your life.

How do you use the Law of Attraction to bring more money into your life?

First you need to make sure you are focusing on the things you want in your life in a positive way and not what you don’t want. If lots of money is what you want that should be your focus but you need to think about more than wanting it and focus on being thankful for getting and imagine that you already had it in your life. Your thoughts need to be focused in this manner from your conscious to sub-conscious mind.

Is it possible to overcome that nagging negativity about money in your sub-conscious?

You have many ways of uniting your sub-conscious and your conscious minds on your goals and desires. This will ensure the Law of Attraction brings you the things you truly want.

You can meditate, take advantage of brain wave technology, remove any emotional and mental blocks that are preventing your from thinking positively, use electronic frequency transfer and always be appreciative for the good things you do have in your life.

The best way is using subliminal messages. Download Subliminal Flash program and use it daily. It contains affirmations related to success, wealth and prosperity. When you use Subliminal Flash those affirmations are accepted by your subconscious mind and your mind attracts good things into your life, just like a magnet. You will feel changes in your life after 5 days of using it.

The sooner you get in a place where you appreciate what you have and are not focused on what you don’t you will be a happier and more satisfied person.

Try making a list of everything that is good in your life and using that to remind yourself daily of how truly blessed you are.

Enjoy the little things like finding spare change in your purse or getting a few extra dollars in your paycheck this week. Let yourself be appreciative and happy for all your blessings big or small.

The more you practice this appreciative attitude the more likely you are to attract more good things into your life in the future.
