1
00:00:00,031 --> 00:00:02,674
Okay, go ahead.

2
00:00:02,694 --> 00:00:13,728
I find that my meditation practice has progressed where I can see no need to think about the stresses I've had in the past, but now I'm seeing them pop up in my dreams at night.

3
00:00:20,896 --> 00:00:21,237
Yeah.

4
00:00:22,979 --> 00:00:27,945
Well, it could be that you're still suppressing them, but that's not necessarily the case.

5
00:00:28,617 --> 00:00:32,741
They can't just be, you know, the brain keeps echoes of stuff.

6
00:00:34,303 --> 00:00:36,785
You've got lots of backup copies of your emotions.

7
00:00:37,866 --> 00:00:42,631
Once you give them up, your brain still holds on to them and pops up with them.

8
00:00:45,114 --> 00:00:49,818
If you find that in your dreams you're stressed about them, right?

9
00:00:49,858 --> 00:00:50,419
Is that what you're saying?

10
00:00:50,439 --> 00:00:54,103
I know you're thinking about the stress, but okay, the question is, are you stressed in your dreams?

11
00:00:54,223 --> 00:00:56,565
Because if you're stressed in your dreams, then you're still missing something.

12
00:00:57,220 --> 00:00:59,523
you still haven't dealt with them.

13
00:01:00,204 --> 00:01:01,746
It means you still have problems.

14
00:01:02,767 --> 00:01:09,095
In fact, you should find that you dream less the further you get in the practice.

15
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:14,602
But I can say it can still come up.

16
00:01:16,705 --> 00:01:18,848
The question is how you relate to it in your dream.

17
00:01:18,868 --> 00:01:26,738
If you still have fear and worry and stress and anger and lust and so on, even in dreams, that's a sign those things are still in your mind.
