What are dreams?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Dreams are the whispers of our many bodies, each revealing the hidden layers of our existence and the imbalances we carry within."
According to Osho, dreams are multilayered experiences produced by our seven bodies; each body dreams in its own way. The physical body generates dreams from imbalance, illness, or suppressed needs and can be triggered by external stimuli. The etheric body dreams as out-of-body travel and visionary colors, sounds, and perfumes—inducible by mantra, scent, or color—and often mistaken for spiritual revelation.
Dreams come from different layers of you: some are your body complaining, others are your subtle energy wandering and seeing striking visions.
