Dreams are "possibilities and sign-showers?"

Since I decided to do the breathing program a second time (After my drooling and zoned out episode the first time some several weeks ago) I have to admit, I've freaked out. I had one dream with a woman very much like a Mrs. Knight-Jadczyk/Roseanne Barr duality welcoming me from a couch into an indeterminable "underground" complex (nothing magnificent, just a series of tunnels like you might find in any big complex area. The whole thing filled me with dread and excitement. Actually, the excitement itself was the primary cause of dread. I saw humans and Gigantic headed humanoid critters with fur on specific parts of their otherwise naked bodies walking around. The whole scene had an element of discovery and cryptic danger to it but an undercurrent of "No matter what, it will be okay".

The second night, I had a dream of my family settling into a house much like an acestral house. It was so wonderful....except we shouldn't go into the basement area.....leave that door alone...I _knew what was behind it, yet i couldn't stop myself, I had to open it and see the "Alien things ready to devour us or whatever" Looked like the Gieger/Sigourney Weaver critters.
Yet at the same time, in spite of my fear and my insatiable curiosity, All I kept getting was "This too is necessary, will pass and is perfectly normal and even needed, no matter what, even if you are devoured, it will be okay"

Let me be honest. This scares the Sh*t out of me.

The "underground" theme seems to run through these two dreams (underground complex & basement). In my own dreams I've come to recognize the symbol of the basement as meaning something to do with my subconscious mind - those thoughts, memories and feelings that live below the surface of my awareness, yet influence me nonetheless. The critters may represent those repressed thoughts and feelings that keep stalking you like a predator and keeping you in a state of fear or paralysis, perhaps?

It sounds like the breathing program might be allowing some of what is in your subconscious to surface - which I believe is what it is designed to do.
 
I think RyanX is spot on with his suggestion. You are uncovering and waking up to your past, and the past traumas that lurk behind the basement doors.
If this is a problem/too much for you to deal with right now, cut out the Bio-energetic breathing portion of the E-E program and you should find the dreams reduce in intensity. You can also ask the divine cosmic mind for help with the dreams during the prayer of the soul. :)
 
Thank you both. I do want to slow down and yet, at the same time, in spite of my fear and desire for caution, I feel this _urgency_; like I've got to do this _now_ come hell or high water. Another fear that comes with these dreams is the "limiting" anxiety. It is a fear of limitlessness, like if I _do_ manage to "break" that barrier, I'll either be "lost" or something worst, like an STS state of BE-ing. It is a welter of confusing emotions even just thinking about it, caution,recklessness, joy, fear, anger, grief, guilt and excitement. This is very confusing, because as I've stated before, I've always thought of myself as basically a "3-D" person. I've got lots of petty insanity in my past that I'm ashamed of and fear being revealed. At the same time I try to balance that out with the realization that so does pretty much everyone else and the best thing is to "own" up to my faults and face them. The dream state for me however, is very different from the awake state, I can _try_ to avoid things, but it keeps getting hammered home whether I like it or not.

Again, thank you both.
