WTH, I had a very vivid dream about a god

Unusual Beliefs
1

I’m sorry… if this is now allowed and it offends someone please close… I am talking about religion in the context of unusual beliefs. so I understand this might be me getting sick…

I just need some advise. I am shook by this dream. I am not religious, nor spiritual… Even though my family are from another religion they still follow some of the hindu traditions…

anyway after that dream I had last night of an Indian diety … it was an Indian god… in the dream I basically got shown a picture of him and I said to someone I don’;t believe in this god … and all of a sudden this god turned up throwing colour at me… in hinduism there is a festival where you throw colour at people once a year… I don’t get why I am getting these dreams… am I getting sick? because I really want to believe that dream.

I have crazy dreams almost every night.

Sometimes they upset me, but they are just dreams not visions.

I don’t know why I’m still thinking about it … I want to buy religious texts and everything… it didn’t upset me… It made me feel more closer to something I don’t even believe exists./

It sounds like you’re temporarily losing your grounding.

I would do some grounding exercises. Like focusing on the senses or walking bear foot.

I also get spiritually inspired dreams.

I wouldn’t give them too much emphasis. Some dreams you’ll remember for a lifetime, so there is that anyway.

Sounds more like anxiety of slipping into psychosis at this stage.

Deep breaths. Deep breaths.

Dreams aren’t real. They’re just made up things in your mind.

Some believe it’s your subconscious trying to solve issues in your life.

Thats how I think of dreams. They’re just creative ways to solve problems

They don’t have to make sense either.

They just happen. Think of them as entertainment

I struggle with ignoring my dreams as well.

In a lot of cultures there is high emphasis on the importance of dreams.

It’s an interesting topic.

I had a dream last night. My parents were real upset with me. I let them down. I forget why though.

Dreams are just dreams @anon25873142, they don’t mean anything. You are not “slipping into psychosis”.

By slipping into psychosis I mean am I reacting to them unusually? I know everyone dreams but if I’m starting to think of it that way…

The dream doesn’t mean anything more than any other dream you’ve ever had. This dream hit closer to home than other dreams you’ve had maybe but it was just a coincidence. I have what I think are profound dreams that reveal great secrets of the universe or solve all my problems and I wake up thinking they meant something. Maybe I let it affect me for a little while but it wears off. Once you get a little perspective and see that it was just a dream you’ll feel better.

I lived in an apartment without cable tv once. I remember having a dream that I plugged the tv into the wall and the cable worked. I ate breakfast then thought to give it a try. Lo and behold the tv worked and I had free cable the entire time I lived there.

Had several other dreams like this too.

I agree. And the fact that one thinks “dreaming about god” is delusional. Means they’ve probably been influenced by this message board a little too much.

Most people consider a relationship with their higher power to be healthy

Though it seems sometimes this message board wants to promote that spiritual=psychotic when clearly it does not. Unless you go overboard with it, that’s different. My spirituality taught me balance is important.

Dreams affect me emotionally waking up. Takes me a while to realize it was all in my sleep.

They mean something in that the content in my dreams and nightmares are all thoughts and things experiences in my life jumbled up in mixed up brought up including my delusions and voices and people. Thoughts feelings and fears. From awake life. In all wrong connections and tangents meaningless chaos.

But I don’t dream of unicorns or demons or fantastical things
