Once upon a time…
Dreams I have done who for me have a sweet impression:
√ Looking as I was a victim in an accident costs my life. And witness of it, I look to see what will happens after death. It stops there.
√ In a crowd, I saw Jesus and said to myself a nice word about him.
√ In this one, I was passing a test be qualified… but hard as I tried, it was unsuccessful and as soon as I surrender and consider I’m unable to qualify… I succeed.
Lucid dream, the dreamer has greater chances to exert some degree of control over their participation within the dream or be able to manipulate their imaginary experiences in the dream environment.
Precognition of future events in their dreams.
√ Who never face a monster intentionally, instead running away?
√ Who falling from a precipice didn’t decide to fly?
√ A feeling of “déja vu”.
Testimonies from internet:
- In 1971 I had a reoccurring dream, about a room filled with books. I was always in the room looking for a book.
One day my husband and I decided to go to a Goodwill store on the north side of Chicago. I walked in the bookroom and I knew this was the room in my dream. I started looking through the books and the third book I picked up was The Urantia Book. I looked at the contents and told my husband “This is the book I’ve been looking for. This is why this room was coming to me in dreams.” (Anonymous)
- Everyone has dreams when they’re younger. I had so many that were just fleeting thoughts that now I don’t remember many of them. One dream I’ve had since I was staff at a Summer Vacation Bible School, when I was thirteen, was to be a missionary. It has been a long time since then and because I stopped regularly going to church at sixteen I thought that would never happen. Well, sometimes God has other plans for your life, even ones you dare not to dream about anymore. Liz Craig, The Urantia Book Fellowship
- In the dream it seemed I made a decision to go home with God, or as The UB would put it, confirmed a decision I’d already made while fully conscious. This is a tool of communication that your spirit guide can or might use but we must be careful not to overstep ourselves. In another paragraph, the writer cautions, “A human being would do better to err in rejecting an Adjuster’s expression through believing it to be a purely human experience than to blunder into exalting a reaction of the mortal mind to the sphere of divine dignity.” 110:5.5
In the weeks that followed, more decisions were made following upon the event of the dream that reinforced the guidance as I saw it, a process I find The UB describes clearly.

The Urantia Book lists a number of important dreams. Zoroaster had a dream at Ur that convinced him to return home to his homeland to remodel the religion of his people. (1049) Zacharias, father of John the Baptist, was not convinced that his wife would give birth to a “son of destiny” until he had an impressive dream. (1345) Likewise, Joseph, Jesus’ father, did not become reconciled to the idea that Mary was to have an “extraordinary child” until he had a dream in which a “brilliant celestial messenger appeared to him…”(1347) The so-called “Three Wise Men” went to seek “the light of life” because of the dream of a “strange religious teacher” of their country. (1352) And finally, Pilate’s wife told him of a disturbing dream she had the evening before Pilate gave in to the crowd and sentenced Jesus to be crucified. (1994)
My point is to demonstrate that sometimes dreams can be out of ordinary scenario involving an effect of contentment. UB do not neglect to reveal significations regarding “Sleeping land”. That’s the reason I put this thread on the forum.
Dreams have had an important place in the spiritual evolution of mankind… see 86:4.2
But, the teachings of The Urantia Book largely dismiss the idea that there can be found any profound conscious meaning in dreams. In fact, ascribing meaning to ordinary dreams is not encouraged at all: 100:5.6, 86:5.11
In “Erroneous Concept of Adjuster Guidance”, we read more about the dream-life as pertains to Adjusters: 110:5.2
So, we see that the Adjusters may and do work with us in dreams, and I would say that is pretty meaningful in itself, but we are seldom made conscious of it. It is a matter of distinguishing between the subconscious and the superconscious levels of mind. Ordinary dreams are the product of the subconscious, and we are not ordinarily given access to the superconscious ministry of the Adjuster.

p.s.(Dear Bonita, in your last message you open a door of consciousness regarding faith, knowing, control and mastering ourself. I’m working a rundown from your inspiration.
