Dreams Are Amazing

Dreams represent many different things to everyone. They are as individual as the person they belong to. It is up to you to determine what they mean to you.

My own personal experiences have not been one of in-depth dream investigation, so I tend to be a bit blasé about it all. So when it came time for me to dictate how I handled and managed my own dreams, it was well planned and thought out. Through my studies of the subconscious, I have formed certain opinions of how I would prefer my dreams to reveal their true nature to me. I am about to share a dream event with you. And it probably will not be very exciting to you. I am acting as a journalist reporting, “How it all happened”.

I had a Dream …

There was a fire! But, it was just a small fire1 when I noticed it. As I looked around, it became obvious that nobody else had noticed it. I looked around for something like a fire alarm to “sound the alarm”. But there were none around. No fire fighting equipment, either. I ran around notifying everyone I saw of the fire, but they were preoccupied and just ignored me.

What was completely out of place for me is where this was all taking place. I was in the Engine Room2 of a ship3. Even though I had never been here in this place before, by the equipment and instrumentation I knew what this place was. For some reason, even though the fire was small and almost unnoticeable, I felt a huge sense of urgency; that if the fire wasn’t dealt with immediately that it would destroy the entire ship.

The small fire was coming from some type of electrical component within a clear cover. So there was no easy way to really get to the fire to put it out. Also, to use water on a fire in electrical equipment is not a good idea and can easily lead to electrocution. There were no easy solutions to be had. The unusual thing was the fire was a blue flame, like air is blown through it, sort of like what you see with a torch.

The reason I am telling you the detail is that I want to point out what role the photographic memory plays when it comes to the inner workings of your subconscious mind. Over a week has passed since I had the dream. The images of what occurred in my dream are as clear and intense now as when they first occurred. They are clearer than real life!

Another piece of this vision was a peculiar odor that the flame was giving off; cloying, choking, yet vaguely familiar4. And that smell, too, was completely out of place. It was very pungent, acrid, and thick5. This odor is the prime key that connects all the events together.

I came to the conclusion that I had to be the person that took action otherwise the vessel was doomed!

Here is a list of circumstances that have been brought to my attention:

1. The small fire
2. Engine Room
3. Located in a ship or vessel
4. Choking smell of smoke, but out of place, odor vaguely familiar
5. Odor is pungent, acrid, and thick

About the Photographic Memory

Some studies of the photographic memory suggest that memories gained in this way dull and lose their detail in 3 – 4 minutes. But even today, over a week later, I can see it as if was occurring clearly in front of me at this very moment. By my own experiences (too many to count besides this one) I challenge the claims that the photographic memory is not real or has minimal value over long periods of time.

My logic is this: From all of my experience with the photographic memory / eidetic memory, and other cognitive abilities; if someone tells me the photographic memory is just something that goes bump in the night, my own personal evidence and experiences show me otherwise.

Empathy for the Non-Believer…

The photographic memory has been cannon fodder for many people over the years because it is primarily associated with the subconscious mind. Since people are not in good touch with their subconscious, they find it unfathomable to imagine that their photographic memory has never left them; that it has always been there. The only time many of them are in contact with their subconscious is when they are asleep, dreaming.

To some, the adult eidetic memory (photographic memory) is the bastard step-child of the psychological world – to be picked upon. For others like me, we possess our own irrefutable proof that supports our unwavering conviction of its existence and accessibility to everyone.

Have you ever wondered why, when you go through your daily activities, that you do not meet these people all over the place? Approximately 1 out of every 20 people you encounter are serious eidetikers that have some relationship with their photographic memory. It is because at an early age, they were taught to hide their abilities. I know many people that went through school making sure to miss 1 or 2 questions on their tests so they didn’t draw attention to themselves.

It comes down to this. Recognizing and trusting your photographic memory is a relationship, between you (your conscious) and a lover that has left you that you no longer trust (your subconscious). Even when you find that your subconscious has been right there all along, it still doesn’t commit you to trusting it. That is why you must be taught how to build and support that relationship. Eventually, you come to trust it once again. Thus, your photographic memory is allowed to be a part of your life once more.

Revisiting the Dream

So now we can go back to what led us here in the first place; my dream. Again, I have had a significant dream that my photographic memory remembers every detail of. What does it have to do with my life? What is the connection? My surroundings in my dream were completely foreign from anyplace I had ever visited. Where did it all fit?

Along my personal soul searching for methodically simplifying my relationship with my own subconscious, I decided long ago to direct my mind to only remember dreams that were important to me. Since I dream hundreds of dreams each night, it is nice to pre-filter them down to remembering just the important dreams. With the gravity and intensity this dream possessed, I knew it must be important to me. It was.

The Connection

That morning while feeding the horses, I noticed that one horse had a cough that turned out to be an upper respiratory infection. He had not eaten much of the food from the previous night and had not drunk his water. He also had an elevated temperature and a sore throat. (You think us humans have it bad when we have a sore throat, think of an equine having a sore throat. That is a lot of throat! Be thankful it was not a giraffe!)

The sore throat and the cough is something he would most likely get over naturally without treatment. But whenever horses don’t drink, they dehydrate. Dehydration leads to colic, and equine colic is deadly. Most horses that don’t get to old age die of colic. So, I am not just treating the horse for the cough, sore throat, and fever; I am also treating him for colic. I really don’t need to go into all the details as to how you treat a horse for colic. Let’s say it is a bit messy at times when dealing with that side of things.

But along with the mess, there are particular odors and a cloying acrid smell. To another horse, it is like walking through the rose garden. But it is different for humans. But keep in mind; I would select a horse when compared to most other animals for those types of odors. (My experiences in life have taken me far and wide.)

So let’s take a look at the list we created before:

1. The small fire – Sore throat and elevated temperature.
2. Engine Room – The Engine Room of the horse is his gut. If that doesn’t work, he is DEAD in the water – Equine colic.
3. Located in a ship or vessel – The vessel IS the horse. The entire list had to do with the horse. If I had not acted quickly, my chances of saving the horse would get bad quickly.
4. Choking smell of smoke, but out of place, odor vaguely familiar – The odor of equine feces, making note of the colic.
5. Odor is pungent, acrid, and thick – Same thing.

Remember Important Dreams

When I remembered the dream, it signaled me to take heed and pay attention to my surroundings. The detail from the dream gave me specific insight that allowed me to connect-the-dots. Most of the dots were seen after the fact. That is why it is said that “hindsight is 20/20 vision”. The result of me being aware of a potential problem and acting quickly, I was successful at saving the horse. Today he was running around the paddock as he normally does, without a care, as horses do. (Joke ahead… He is so inconsiderate. He didn’t even thank me. Neigh!) The story may have had a different ending if I had not acted when I did.

Epilogue:

Because I have directed my subconscious to make only my important dreams memorable, I can easily tell what dreams I need to pay attention to. Coupled by the fact that I fully accept my photographic memory as a part of me as a complete human being, I cannot be dissuaded from tapping into it and using it. With the recall of critical key pieces of information from my dream in high resolution for an extended period of time allowing me the avenue to remember each detail completely while I am writing this story for you. After I have completed the writing, the event will be shelved because it has served its’ functions.

I hope you found this article intriguing and are enjoying the use of your photographic memory. There is a big bright world out there you are most likely not experiencing. Life is full of experiences waiting just for you. But you must take those first steps to make it all happen.

…and we don’t want that to change.

Why do most people lie?

When was the last time you found yourself in an awkward position, and instead of telling the truth, you lied to protect someone’s feelings or you didn’t want the truth to hurt?  Yes, even that is actually a lie.

Some people lie for fun and for gain. After you review this article, you may change the way you do things.  It is a bit of a departure from the comedy movie “Liar Liar” with Jim Carrey.  At least in the movies, it turns out all right.  Just think what it would be if your profession required you to lie as part of your career?

And of course there is the person that doesn’t lie for gain or for that matter, anything else, the compulsive liar. They just must lie about most everything. They even start to believe their lies, and become delusional.

What does lying do to you?

Whenever you create a non-truth, you are setting up a negative vibration in your body.  This vibration has a direct effect on the most finely tuned component in your bodily system.  That component is your brain.  Where do all the signals originate that control all the functions of your body?  Your brain, of course.  So, if you are putting wrenches in the gears of the way your mind works, what do you think is going to happen?

Most of you know about those little white lies, and some of you know about more forms of lying. Some of you may have it honed to an art form. No matter what, they all add up. I refer to this as “congestion” This congestion gets in the way of you making decisions, of seeing the world clearly, and leads to breakdowns of the system itself.

“If you don’t have something nice to say, don’t say anything at all.”

I heard it as a child, and it has stood the test of time. I changed it a bit though.
“If you cannot say the truth, don’t say anything at all.”

Break the habit.

I had the opportunity to talk to someone that wanted to break their habit of lying.  On advice from a psychologist, they were to wear a rubber band on each wrist, like bracelets.  (Of course, you know what’s coming next…) Any time they lied, for any reason, they were to snap their wrist with the rubber band bracelet.  Unfortunately, they did a lot of lying.  That person eventually had to go to the emergency room of the hospital to have the blisters on their wrists treated.  Point in fact;  lying is a habit that you may find difficult to break.

But, I don’t lie!

I have heard that before, too many times.  Here is a safer, less painful way to find out how much you lie.  Get yourself a notepad and pen that you can easily carry with you.  For a 24-hour period, in your normal every day routine, any time you lie, or say something that is not true, write it down, and the circumstances around it, including any justifications.  You will most likely be amazed at how often you lie throughout your day, and why.

What do I do next?

Now that you have built your scorecard, make an effort to not lie as much the next day.  By keeping score, you will find it easier to decrease the amount that you lie over a period of time.  Think of it as a “Liars Diet”. (Ha Ha!)

What do I have to gain by not lying?

You can start with “respect”.  But this will affect many things that you probably have not even considered;  even your health.  The reason is when you clutter your mind with “junk”, which should not be accumulating;  your brain does not have the ability to function effectively.  This affects your physical body as well as your mental abilities.

You will affect your mental clarity, your decision making process, even your health.  All of these things, and more, are affected any time you are causing congestion.  (Lying is only one source of congestion.)

Brain management is a task you should undertake daily.  It has been shown when people regularly do things that help their brain function properly and exercise their brain;  it lessens the onset of complications like dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.

I enjoy helping people with their personal struggle to emerge better than they were.  The brain and the workings of the mind are the fulcrum to making your effort count.

Ask Yourself:

Do you feel like you never get enough done?  Do you procrastinate?  Do you ever wish that ‘time’ was something you could buy more of?  Do you take time to enjoy life?

For the Time Being:

There are a lot of renditions of this perturbated quote:  “Do not today, what you can put off till tomorrow.”

Well, “Time is of the essence!”

When you procrastinate, things that need to be done are building up.  Eventually something is going to happen.  Sometimes it happens in very uncomfortable ways.  Make it a positive step to achieve the things you have been putting off.  Don’t worry, they have not gone away.  (Check out the ‘Sword of Damocles‘.)

When it comes to speeding up how you get things done, turn them over to your subconscious mind to work on.  Amazingly things will get done quicker.

What?  You don’t know how to turn things over to your subconscious?  Where would you go to find out?  What would you do?  who would you ask?  Would you ask your neighbor?  (WARNING: Joke Ahead!) Maybe you should ask the police to help you find your subconscious.  That would make for an interesting police report. (Joke Ended.)

How about asking us?  We have been teaching people how to turn objectives over to their subconscious for over 35 years.

Time is Passing You By.

So, are you going to just let time pass you by?  Or, are you going to do something?

Someday I may tell you what time is.  But for now, it is important that you start observing what it is, and what it can do for you.  It is as precious as life itself.

Great Things Happen Here!

Ask Yourself:

What direction is your life going?  Do you want to have it go in a different direction?  Does ‘change’ intimidate or frighten you?  Do you care more about what other people think over your well-being?  When people ‘help’ you, does it feel more like a hindrance?

But why am I asking these questions?

Because these are the tough questions.  They are the questions that will make a difference in how your life plays out from this point forward.

I am reminded of a recent TV commercial:

A man, his wife, and baby sitting in a park.  The man asks his wife,  “If I died tomorrow, you would not have any security to fall back on.  What about life insurance?” His wife replies,  “Look over there!  There is a bird flying around that tree.”

Do you think that maybe his wife does not like to talk about life insurance or death?  Maybe she just doesn’t like tough questions.  Well, in your case it doesn’t matter what she likes or dislikes.  What matters is what you do.

Stop evading the tough questions.  These are the questions that will make or break you in your future life.  (And no, I am NOT selling life insurance!)

Ask Yourself:

Where do you want to be in life?  Where do you see yourself in the next 6 months?  Do you have a vision of what that is?  Are you working towards these things or events?  What are your time frames to see these happen?

Ask Yourself:

It is past the midway point of the year.  What goals have you achieved?  What goals are on the move?  And what goals are going nowhere?  It is time for a reevaluation.

Ask yourself, what does Independence and Freedom mean to you?  Is it something you cherish, or is it something you say with offhand disregard;  meaningless – an idiom?

Independence is defined as being free of that which binds you, or your freedom from obstacles that inhibit progress.  WOW! That’s a whopper!

So what are the things that inhibit your progress, bind you, or prevent you from being free?  I believe your list would be very long.  So let’s narrow the parameters a little to see where it takes us.

Since this is MindToMind.com, we should narrow it to your mind, your mental process, your beliefs, your inhibitions etc.  In other words, what or who manipulates you or inhibits the way you think about things.

One of the easiest ways for you to be inhibited or prevent yourself from doing things that you want to do, or being the person you really want to be, is fear.  The fear resides within you.  But in most circumstances that fear did not originally come from you.  It was given to you from something or someone else.

Most times these fears are installed in us from people.  It may seem harmless in the way it is approached.  People may say things like, “You don’t want to be that way. What will other people think?” Other people can be ‘that way’, and often they are.  But you will take it on board that you should not be ‘that way’, because of someone’s opinion.

I can give you a clear example of what I am saying.  I will use an example from past times, so don’t beat me up with nostalgia.  Let’s start with you and your best friend walking down the street.  You see someone you recognize and you remark how “cool” that person is.  Your friend answers, “You don’t want to be like that.” As time goes on, no matter what it relates to, anytime you mention something is “cool”, your friend upends you.

It’s time for a decision.  Either you decide to be cool, like cool things, and do cool things, or you decide to keep your friend, be un-cool and do only un-cool things.  More than likely, from that point on, any time in your life, cool things will automatically be rejected by you.  Yes, I know,… it is a little over simplified but is an example.  It’s not set in stone.

Mental Exercise

Look back in your past memories in your mind and find events that turned your attention to a different direction.  These can still inhibit you today.  These are the things that block your progress.  They restrict your freedom and limit your independence.

You can be an independent person if you choose to.  If you want your independence back, your freedom to choose for yourself, then you need a system that supports your efforts and gives you the ability to move yourself, and your mind, in that direction.

From my educated point of view, you need information;  lots of it, and you also need a device that will assist you in manifesting change in your life.  It would also help if you had a way to exercise your brain, make it stronger, and clear of the cobwebs for better decision making.

You must be thinking right now.  “There must be some type of system that does all these things, and can truly help me gain independence and freedom; to be more the person I want to be.”

Well, guess what?  There just happens to be an independence freedom machine very close at hand.  It’s easy to use as well.  Have you ever heard of ZOX Pro Training?  What about Brain Management?

Are you tired of not being the vibrant independent person you believe you should be.  Here is your chance.  CHANGE IT!

Yes, you can obtain the freedom you truly deserve.  Learn to create your independence in your mind first.  Then it will show up in all aspects of your life.  Free yourself!

I recently had a person travel halfway around the planet to take the eBrain Executive Seminar.  Prior to his decision, he had purchased and used the ZOX Pro Training.

Even though he could sense how potent the ZOX Pro Training is, and how it was mysteriously working not only with information, but also subtly within his life, he really couldn’t put his finger on it.  The reason this happens sometimes, is ZOX Pro Training is built to give results. These results are not only the Mental Photography, but also in moving your life in positive and constructive ways.

When he chose to travel all that distance, he really wasn’t sure what he would find.  What he found was beyond anything he ever imagined. The answers to ALL the riddles he had experienced with ZOX Pro Training suddenly became clear as he attended the eBrain Executive Seminar.  Beyond that, his gains were enormous.

We did not make ZOX Pro Training to leave you confused as to how your life is moving around you.  We made ZOX Pro Training to provide you your best results. As a natural byproduct of the ZOX Pro Training, you also get to experience positive movement in your life as an additional benefit.

You do not need to take the ZOX Pro Training prior to attending a seminar, nor do you need to take the seminar to achieve results, because ZOX Pro Training is geared for you to gain results.

There are many differences.  The first two are the advanced techniques which make it quicker and easier to achieve results, and the “Path of Least Resistance”.
