Dreams

 Some dreams are memorable. Others are not. Sometimes I dream of good things happening, other times I dream of bad things. It's a mix to be honest. Not always the same dreams come to me. I wish all I had were good dreams. But that can't always be the case. Then there are times I don't remember what I dreamed about at all. I know I dreamed last night, but this morning I have no clue what I dreamed about. It's kind of a weird situation.

The other day I was dreaming that I wanted to get out of bed. I kept trying to get out of bed but noticed that I couldn't. After every attempt I was still in bed. I finally realized I was dreaming and told myself to wake up. I was then able to get out of my actual bed and start my day. Now that was a weird situation.

Ever have a dream during the middle of the day when you're awake? I have. I'm not sure if it was a hallucination or what. But I was sitting there doing my thing, and I was in a different place. It was a dream for sure, I just don't know how I ended up there. Talk about weird.

I used to think dreams offered a way for the mind to be entertained while you sleep. Now I think dreams offer answers to things you are stressed about. Subconscious thoughts in your way? A dream can solve the problem. Remembering what you dreamed is key of course. If you don't remember your dream, then I suppose the answer isn't going to help you. Even if it was your subconscious reaching out in the dark seeking truth.

Dreams are just a weird thing. That much is true. It would be nice to be able to record what I dreamed so I can play it back at any given time. I've tried writing down my dreams, but I always seem to forget what happened in them when I get to the pen and paper. I don't know how else to put it. I just can't remember for the life of me what happened.

Then there are dreams I have where I'm visiting with people I miss. My heart yearns to be with them, yet for some reason or another I am unable to. So, I dream about them. Those dreams are the hardest to let go of. Because they feel so real. Like I am actually in the room with that person. I can't help but hope that I'll be able to see them again soon.

Suicidal Ideation

 Over the years I've had to deal with suicidal ideation. Those are thoughts of being dead, some more extreme than others. It causes issues for me a lot of the time. It's not an easy thing to talk about at all. Here's what it is: Suicidal ideation ( suicidal thoughts )  are thoughts or ideas centered around death or suicide . Experiencing suicidal ideation doesn’t mean you’re going to kill yourself, but it can be a warning sign.

An Opposition In All Things

Long has been the story told about how there must be an opposition in all things. From the pre-existence there was Satan, Lucifer the Son of the Morning. In the beginning we were with God in his presence. We learned all we could while there. Until the moment we couldn’t progress any more, we were unable to become like God. So, we were given the opportunity to come to Earth to gain a body. A Savior would be provided to atone for our sins enabling us to come back to the presence of God. The idea that an opposition must be in all things comes from 2nd Nephi: For it must needs be, that there is an opposition in all things. If not so, my firstborn in the wilderness, righteousness could not be brought to pass, neither wickedness, neither holiness nor misery, neither good nor bad. Wherefore, all things must needs be a compound in one; wherefore, if it should be one body it must needs remain as dead, having no life neither death, nor corruption nor incorruption, happiness nor misery, neither...

Temptation Bible vs Book of Mormon

In the Bible in 1 Corinthians 10:13 we find: There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able ; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. But what might seem as a contradiction is found in Alma 13:28 But that ye would humble yourselves before the Lord, and call on his holy name, and watch and pray continually, that ye may not be tempted above that which ye can bear , and thus be led by the Holy Spirit, becoming humble, meek, submissive, patient, full of love and all long-suffering; So, which is it? Either God tempts you to a point and stops, or you have to actively pray not to be tempted beyond that no return point. Which is it?
