This morning I had a dream where I was holding a lighter in my hand and the flame got too close to my left eye and suddenly i woke up and realized i couldnt see with my left eye. a few minutes later my vision recovered but was still a little unclear.

a few weeks ago i had a dream where i was fighting in a war and something hit my legs and when i woke up i realized my legs couldnt move.

then another time a grenade exploded beside me in a dream and i woke up instantly and found that i heard ringing sounds in my ears...

why do my dreams affect my reality?
anyone else experienced this?

Ashiene,

You may find the link below of interest. One suggestion would be to browse the topics of reincarnation and imprinting. My maternal grandfather had an experience similar to yours in a dream where he was shot.

the dream i had this morning was like this:

i was in my home theres a cemetry somewhere nearby in the dream. every few months, the townsfolk would contain the zombies that were rising from their graves there. but 5 months or more had passed and no one had bothered to fight the undead so they were now pouring into the town center. and i was rushing outside and holding my sword, fighting zombies with a few people (couldnt see their faces), and as i ran back into my home i locked the door. i took out a lighter because i had wanted to set the house on fire and escape underground and out of the sieged town. but i tripped and the lighter's flame hit my left eye and thats when i woke up and realized i could only see with my right eye...

Ashiene,

From a dream analysis standpoint, the alleged zombies could represent deceased family members. Attempting to burn your own home could be symbolic of self-nullifying behavior in your efforts to destroy the "zombies".

If it's true that we reincarnate into the same family line through the generations, we would only further our own pain in addition to that of others by battling relatives who haunt us.

It did happened to me quite a few times.
Our subconcious has a funny ways of telling us what is happening in our body.
My left eye was pressed hard on a pillow and my subconcious was telling me differently.
My leg was getting numb and my subconscious is finding ways to alert me, probly just
to wake me up.

in the previously mentioned dream, there was a part where i was beside the cemetry and there were zombies in armor all around me and they carried different weapons. i remembered i saw someone (it felt like me but the person's face wasn't mine) being impaled by a spear. i could actually FEEL pain for the first time in my life during a dream. i saw the guy pulling the spear from his mid-section but i felt the pain instead. it was as if the mind was mine but the body wasn't..i dont know how to explain this its difficult. anyway, as the guy (or I) pulled the spear out, the zombies were watching him and i felt a hole in my body and the spear rubbing against the flesh there. it hurt so bad...then suddenly i was in my home again and that was when i tried the lighter...

can anyone tell me what that was? the zombies, i clearly remembered, were wearing black cloaks and armor and the guy that was being impaled (i think it was me with a different face. it had a beard and thick eyebrows) had a red cross on his white cloak...

from the reincarnation point of view, is it possible that the person i saw in my dream was me from thousands of years ago, during the Crusades, in my previous life? because the body wasn't mine but the mind was... and i FELT PAIN when i was impaled...

Maybe Jesus was just reminding you about His sufferings.
Happy Easter anyway!

is it possible that during my sleep my subconsciouss uncovered memories from an ancient time? is that why i felt pain that was so real i couldn't have imagined? is that why i couldnt see in real life when the flame touched my eye during the dream?

It is possible ! but if i were you i won't think that way.
First of all we have to know if reincarnation is true.
Once, i remember dreaming i have lots of money then i woke up
still believing i am rich. And its already half an hour that i refused it's only a dream.

On my point of view, your dream is like this.
Cemetery is a place of death like Golgotha.
Zombies are those people watching the scenario but can't do anything. (the living dead)
and that spear is the one created a hole on Jesus side.

That's only my opinion.

FrankBlunt told me it may be possible that I was a soldier fighting in a war hundreds of years ago and I died when an enemy soldier impaled me with his spear...The red cross on the figure (me) I saw in my dream may mean that I was fighting during the Crusades, when the Christians and Muslims were at war with each other. The zombies I saw wore the colors of the Muslim army during the time...I believe my memories had just surfaced from deep within my sub-consciousness, which is eternal, unlike the body we live in...I've read alot about reincarnation and I believe this life i am living now is not the first and only one.

Dreams are reality. The dreamer is experiencing emotions and participates in the dream itself by making decisions based on what they encounter.

what u meant was 'how reality affects my dreams' but if you've read everything i've written you'll notice this dream in particular is the most vivid i ever had and the first time in my life i've experienced pain in any dream...

Ashiene,

The third person perspective may have been to prevent you from transferring the injury to your present, physical form. Feeling the pain is meant to connect you to the individual in the regression and form the link.

In x-rays taken years later, my grandfather was found to have a hole in his pelvic bone the size of a .22 caliber bullet. Despite that evidence, there was no superficial entry scar, and he hadn't been shot in his most recent life. But the question remains... Was the hole there from the time of his birth, or did it manifest as a result of the dream?

FrankBlunt,

Tell me more about your grandfather's dream I'm fascinated by this...

It isn't really that your dreams are affecting your reality....it is more the reverse...your reality is affecting your dreams.

Your dreams just illustrate to a degree what is the state of your mental health...this doesn't mean that if you have whaco dreams, that you are whacko...rather that whatever you dream has a significant meaning as it relates to your mental well being. Our dreams, in essence, are our sleeping mind's way of self analyzation. For instance...some dream about your eye hurting, and then you wake up and your eye is hurting....is most likely the reverse... your eye was hurting and your sleeping mind incorporated that into the imagery of your dream state.

Hi, Ashiene,

My grandfather died about 6 years ago, and while the x-ray was obviously documented by his physician, the dream scenario isn't well detailed beyond "I got shot in a dream".

He was the genuine Frank Blunt, and was a man of very, very few (often offensive) words. Funny guy, though, to open-minded folks. I can tell you that his career was spent as a fish and game warden. If his desire to deal with guns and hunting was also true of any past lives, this makes it all the more plausible that bullets were flying at him prior to the most recent physical existence.

Dreams do most certainly affect reality, from my own experience. I've spoken of this before in another thread, but I'm not sure which one, or in how much detail. Around the turn of the century, I received respective phone and E-mail contact from two of my friends who hadn't been in touch with me for several months, on the morning following my dream of each. I hadn't dreamt of either friend within the duration of their absence. These were both flying dreams, and those tend to be the most profound.

The funniest dream event was the slot jackpot that I witnessed within the same hour that my friend/co-worker was winning it. I made a point of looking at my clock because the dream (remote viewing?) was so vivid. My winning friend was out of town, so we hadn't spoken. The next day at work, I told my other co-workers about the dream and the time it occurred. When my friend returned to the office, the time frame and the multi-thousand jackpot were confirmed. I chuckled at the time of my dream, and since I would never know how synchronous it was, did it happen just before, during, or after?

Have you had any clairvoyant experiences with flying dreams, or otherwise?

I've had a flying dream where i found myself standing in my bedroom by the window then a few seconds later I was outside, hovering above the ground...

Ashiene,

Do you recall any shuddering or trembling sensations prior to the flying experience?

before that dream i dont remember shuddering or anything like that, but twice before i had felt extreme vibrations, once while my mind was idle and another time while i was thinking about rockets being launched into the sky...ive written about this in a few topics...

Granted, that's an interesting take on the subject, but I don't see what it has to do with dreams affecting reality.

Hi, PK,

If one is meeting with deceased family members, or others with whom there is unresolved karma, in dreams, the actions may ultimately affect reality.

Could it be that your brain is tricked by your deam thus thinking its damaged ? thus affecting the area ?

Brain damage and false memory are common explanations for these types of occurrences. Personally, I've had too many of my experiences corroborated to view them as anything but spiritual.

If and when the day comes that you have a friend from out of state describe the dream you had the previous evening involving her via E-mail, you'll tend to disregard theories of cerebral anomaly.
