Deep relaxation

What happens when the human mind sleeps? Many say it's when the brain shuts down most physical activity and the subconscious takes over.

Does the subconscience come and mix with the conscious mind like fresh water where it meets the ocean? Except the subconsciousness is the ocean. 

Or is the conscious mind like a beach and at night its high tide. The subconscious washes up and over, and rearranges the beach, maybe depositing some shells. Wiping the sand clear of all tracks from the previous day.

Or is it like a James Bond Martini, and it's shaken, not stirred?

Or is it a complete separation of the two every night? Like a couple who dances together but don't touch? Or just rub up against each other? Or a like a pair of swing dancers where the conscience is the woman being led and tossed around by the subconscious man, to some wild beat we are barely aware of?

We don't have to consciously take the effort to tell ourselves when to breathe. It just happens, every minute of every day. But we can control the inhale and exhale, if we choose to. Is that another time of connection between the conscience and the subconsciousness? Is that why taking yoga and paying attention to your breathing is so important? 

I have all these questions that surface at 30,000 feet in an airplane. I look down at the earth, and I think of all the things we do to trick the body. All the unnatural things we do, like defying gravity at high speeds on a regular basis. 

I'm not designed to be up here. Too close to heaven, if you ask me. Which half way to defying death (along with gravity). 

I was thinking about all of this as I tried to just do a deep relaxation in my cramped quarters after a long day of travel that isn't even over yet. I was wondering if I could relax enough to compensate for my missing nap. Which reminded me of my current studies on the subconscious mind.

I wrote that and then I woke up the next morning from a nightmare of a family member trying to kill me. What does that mean? I had to take away three machetes, and then as I left for safety I was shot at. Good grief! Does it really mean something? I don't understand. So I did a google search.

Your dreams tells exactly what is going on in your life and what you should do.

Your dream simply means you are constantly try to avoid a situation in your life with another person (and it is not really working well). That person makes your life difficult or perhaps even dangerous. It really depends who that someone is. If it is your father, then you are afraid of the consequences of his dangerous punishment.

Something is going on in your life now and someone in your life is making life hard on you. Why can you not confront the issue with the person? Why do you need to run away? Is that person really too dominant? Is it too difficult to tell that person about something they need to know? Better restore that relationship with that someone in your dream or move on with your life without that person. You deserve peace with that person and otherwise that person does not deserve you. Don’t let other people have control of your freedom and happiness.

I like this description because it's less dark than the dream itself. I wasn't trying to kill them, so that's another minor consolation.

In a way it makes more sense now. There are absolutely things I've been trying to avoid with that person. And that last sentence is important too. It's part of my new line of learning. If I am a victim, I blame other people for how I feel, and then I feel like I have to control them in order to control my happiness. It's also part of this thing I read in the last week that talked about a victim isn't created from circumstances, it's created from how you are thinking. I've said it once, I'll say it again. Perspective is everything.

We took off into the sky and left Costa Rica behind. Now we have so much on the line every day. It's so different from Costa Rica. Or from being a tourist in Europe. Applying to get a new place to live can be so hideous. We have to pay to see if they will accept us. It's $46, which may be per person. Then we wait and see if they find our statistics acceptable. It's a crazy process. So I am learning to deep relax in any circumstance. To close my eyes and focus on breathing, and slow down my own frequency. We all have a frequency. Here is what the internet says:

The healthy human body has a frequency that sits in a range of between 62-68 MHz. Sickness and disease begin to kick in at 58 MHz. We have our own electrical energy, and a magnetic one too. 

I write for people who want to travel with me. Sometimes it's in the world, sometimes it's inside the mind.
