I don't want to know but I think I was about to find out if I let myself have the third in a sequence of dreams I had sometime during the night. I've been dreaming a lot recently, mostly I can't remember them and the ones I remember I write down and try to sort out whether it was for my own personal entertainment or trying to tell me something. I don't have nightmares like I hear other people having, I can usually change the course of the dream to have resolution. Last night was a little different. In both my first and second dream an angel was putting himself in "mortal" danger but the dreams ended before the angel actually got hurt. The second dream came really close though because I forced myself to wake up. I had a coherent thought that angels can't die but I was going to find out what would happen if that weren't true if I didn't do something. So I got up, changed the place and position to fall asleep and subsequently had a completely unrelated dream that was literally like I was seeing things through a haze. What I don't know is why my mind conjured up an angel in that kind of danger and what I can do tonight before I go to bed so that I don't have a continuation because this is one of those instances where it's distinctly possible. Any ideas?
I can't answer "what would happen if an Angel died" - you'd just have to find out in your dream. But you are reluctant/afraid to find out? Why?
And is the Angel somehow and aspect of yourself?
I am a Lucid dreamer like yourself (i.e. - I can control the outcome of my dreams because I am conscious that I am dreaming during them. And I can force myself to wake up if I don't like the dream and don't want to follow through with it). I also do write them down - not so often anymore as these days , as I usually recognise what they mean or what my subconscious is trying to work out (for many years I religiously wrote in a dream diary to discover my patterns).
Nightmare come when I stressed - and I recognise them as products of whatever the stressor is at the time. Whether it's illness or emotional things from troubled relationships, worries about work, etc.
If I have a nightmare I don't want to repeat - I usually "program" myself just before I fall asleep - by repeating to myself over and over "I will not dream bad dreams tonight" - or some similar affirmation.
If I know the nightmare is related to a stressor that will not be ending for sometime - then I just accept I shall be having a re-curring nightmare for a while and during dreaming I consciously "pay less attention to it", and/or do the "waking myself up and gong to sleep again thing" to get on with skipping over it.
Did it resolve?
