Extraordinary  vs ordinary dreams?

There are no unimportant dreams, just as there are no unimportant moments in our waking life. If you’re not mindful of how you spend your moments, then yes, there are plenty of unimportant ones, and this is no different with dreams.  

On top of that, occasionally, a dream is not a dream. At times  it’s not a mindless shuffling from one scene into another, one body into another, one picture into another. Suddenly, in the midst of the dream, everything stops. Someone comes to us, a spiritual teacher, a being of light, and the consciousness, the quality of the dream changes dramatically. This is a dream vision. There’s a feeling of eternality about it, or perhaps a joy so great that we could have only experienced it in a dream–a joy that was too great for this world that we live in, too great for this mind, too great for this body.

In dreaming, we’re in the astral, and in the astral we have a greater capacity to feel, to see and to believe and to understand. After such a dream, you will be different. For two or three weeks, you’ll see a pronounced difference in your consciousness. This is how you know it was not an ordinary dream. Upon waking from the dream, you’ll be surcharged with energy. You’ll find that if you tell the dream to someone, they will experience a part of it too. Don’t tell it too frequently to unreceptive persons; it will dissipate its energy and power for you, but don’t be afraid to share it. To share is to give. To give is not to lose, it’s to grow.
