The fear of confinement is usually expressed in dreams of confinement . The dreams of confinement are those in which, in some way, while we are sleeping, images appear in which we feel cornered and it seems to us that the environment imprisons us . They can look like people who reject us and leave us alone and immobilized, or also instead of being people, they can appear as a place from which it is not possible to leave, such as being an elevator, or a room to the That the door does not open. In cases where these dreams become frank nightmares, staying locked in a place can be lived with much anguish and be a symptom of a possible claustrophobic disorder.
People who suffer from some degree of claustrophobia, which is a fairly common disorder, can present this type of dream with some frequency, because what we dream is a product of what happens to us during the day. Emotions are purified of the things we have lived in the vigil, and for that they lead to dreaming what happened while awake. Or more exactly the astral body, which is where our emotions are lodged and is active both during the vigil and during the dream phases of the night, if you suffer an obsession of fear by confinement expresses it during sleep, in addition to during the day, through a dream
Control of the small obsession
So the problem that arises is that little obsession . To treat it when it occurs (since it is not convenient for us to suffer it) we can resort to different techniques. If we have the facility to express our interior to another person, we can help ourselves with a psychologist or a dream researcher . If we do not have that facility, we can try to give lucidity to the dream, or also to reflect calmly on the moments in which the phobia occurs in the vigil. Whichever method we choose, what will necessarily have to be taken into account is that all irrational fear, such as claustrophobia, originates from a negative experience of the past. For this, we will not necessarily remember the fact that caused the problem, because it could have happened in a previous life and not everyone has a guide to take them to that moment. Better than that, what we will do, will be to place ourselves again in a situation of confinement but with the fear attenuated by the conscience.
This is achieved again by looking for a worrying situation, for example, if we are afraid of confinement to think about getting stuck in an elevator, we should look for an elevator and close the door quietly when nobody bothers us or we are in a hurry, to observe what happens to us internally. This procedure will give us a reliable way of overcoming, but let's not pretend it works and results within five minutes of practicing it, it will take a little time.
Being, following the example, in this elevator, pay attention to the fear of confinement that emerges, and try to compare it with similar memories of previous situations. Let's try to observe that fear. If fear is making us feel bad without controlling it, let's get out of the elevator, take a breath until it has faded, and let's reflect again. At no time should emotions be violated to force a quick result. The important thing is that we can write later, with words, what the fear was, what we can associate in our memories, and what we would do to remedy it.
We must avoid that the solution path is "too magical" so to speak, that is, although it is true that the problem could have started in a previous life, we do not have to make any attempt to travel to previous lives without knowing First how it is done. Or, while it is true that a lucid dream can help us solve the problem, we cannot force lucid dreams without first having experienced the techniques in this regard in an orderly manner. Always try to find solutions from the simplest to the most complex, and never the reverse. The complex will be used when the simple has already proven that it does not work, but not before.
Once the elevator test is done, our mind can try to trap us and tell us something like: No matter how much you get in there, it won't heal you . Our analytical mind is very autonomous and does not like to be told what to do, so this type of excuse is something typical of it. We must not confuse this mind our reasoning analytics, with the mind of the sublime creative intelligence of the universe, which is different and is also in us. Patiently, we will be bringing spiritual light into that elevator, slowly supplanting the fears of the rational mind, by the optimism of the universal sacred mind.
We do not believe that this will take us 30 or 70 entrances to the elevator, they will be less, but we are not thinking about how many they will be, since counting numbers is also a game of distraction that our analytical mind likes to practice.
Similarity with pasteurization
Remember the principle of pasteurization : a malignant, but weakened, bacterium is introduced into a healthy human body. Weakened enough that the cells of the human body have time to recognize, control and eliminate it before the malignant bacteria has the strength to defend itself. Once that knowledge is acquired by our body, the following bacteria that come, even if they are not weakened, cannot against us, because the body already knows them.
He must also do our astral body and our mind with this fear of confinement. The weakness of fear is produced because we control the physical factors of its cause : the time that the elevator is at our disposal, the fact that other people do not observe us, etc., that is, all the measures that can be used and that produce security in us that nothing bad will happen to us.
When after the trial the fear has been described and written, normal situations will be added to see how much the fear increases. For example, start the elevator. The reflection is repeated and the sensations produced by everything are recorded again. We will have to look for those fears and thoughts during confinement to become part of the rest of our things, because the risk is that they remain isolated within our mind, threatening us as if they were an entity inserted and alien to us. An example to achieve this: if fear made us remember the sinking of a ship, we can watch the movie Titanic and then listen to its music. We can also hear jokes about that fear. We can do everything that does not give us new fears but that takes away the aura of negativity to that feeling that worries us.
The joy during healing
We will evaluate the progress through what we dream in the following days, observing what changes there are in the fear that appears in the dream . This evaluation should be done with joy and having the certainty that it is a natural healing process . Do not take it as someone who buys a medicine in a pharmacy. The healing process is life and for it to remain in us we must remember it with satisfaction .
In next notes we will see other techniques that can help this work and other works with the astral and with the mind, also important.
