Day of Brahma

In Hindu esoteric teachings, one day of Brahma consists of a thousand cycles of four yugas, or ages: Satya, Treta, Dvapara and Kali.

The cycle of Satya is characterized by virtue, wisdom and religion, there being practically no ignorance and vice, and the yuga lasts 1,728,000 years.

• In the Treta-yuga vice is introduced, and this yuga lasts 1,296,000 years.
• In the Dvapara-yuga there is an even greater decline in virtue and religion, vice increasing, and this yuga lasts 864,000 years.
• And finally in Kali-yuga (the yuga we have been experiencing over the past 5000 years) there is an abundance of strife, ignorance, irreligion and vice, true virtue being practically nonexistent, and this yuga lasts 432,000 years.

In Kali-yuga vice increases to such a point that at the termination of the yuga the Supreme Lord himself appears as the Kalki Avatara, vanquishes the demons, saves his devotees, and commences another Satya-yuga. Then the process is set rolling again.

These four yugas, rotating a thousand times, comprise one day of Brahma, and the same number comprise one night. Brahma lives one hundred of such years and then dies. These hundred years by earth calculations total to 311 trillion and 40 billion earth years. By these calculations the life of Brahma seems fantastic and interminable, but from the viewpoint of eternity it is as brief as a lightning flash. "

Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (RLDS)

Largest of all off-shoots of the LDS church. When Joseph Smith died, those who accepted Brigham Young as the Smith's successor followed him west to Utah; they are known as The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS).

Those who rejected Young and accepted Smith's son, Joseph Smith, III, remained in Independence, Missouri, and became known as the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (RLDS). The doctrines of the two groups eventually became radically different. The RLDS have a slightly different version of the Book of Mormon and Doctrine and Covenants, and they reject the Pearl of Great Price as scripture.

The RLDS do not hold to many of the LDS distinctive doctrines, including the polygamy of the 19th century LDS Church and the LDS belief (still held) that God was once a man. In recent years the church has experienced divisions, with more conservative Restoration Branches becoming independent. Historically, the RLDS also have had a leader who was a direct descendant of the Mormon founder, Joseph Smith, Jr. Grant McMurray, was the first exception to this practice.

Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, The: (Mormon) Founded in 1830 by Joseph Smith. Headquartered in Salt Lake City, UT: Joseph Smith claimed that the Father and Son appeared to him and called him to restore the true Church.

The Church rejects the orthodox doctrine of the Trinity. It also redefines salvation by grace to refer simply to resurrection. Almost all humans will be resurrected into one of three kingdoms of glory, the least of which is far superior to anything known in this life. Entry into the higher kingdoms, and one's rank there, depends not only upon the atonement of Christ, but also upon one's good works. Achievement of the highest potential within the highest kingdom - Godhood - requires complete “obedience to all the laws and ordinances of the gospel. ”

The Bible, Book of Mormon, Pearl of Great Price, and Doctrine and Covenants are all considered scripture.

Dream FAQ Dictionary: Why do people have trouble remembering their dreams?

Why do people have trouble remembering their dreams?

Some people have no difficulty in remembering several dreams nightly, whereas others recall dreams only occasionally or not at all. Nearly everything that happens during sleep— including dreams, the thoughts which occur throughout the night and memories of brief awakenings—is forgotten by morning. There is something about the phenomenon of sleep itself which makes it difficult to remember what has occurred and most dreams are forgotten unless they are written down. Sometimes a dream is suddenly remembered later in the day or on another day, suggesting that the memory is not totally lost but for some reason is very hard to retrieve. Sleep and dreams also are affected by a great variety of drugs and medications, including alcohol. Further, stopping certain medications suddenly may cause nightmares. It is advisable to discuss with your physician the effect of any drugs or medications you are taking.

Dream FAQ Dictionary: How can I improve my dream memory?

How can I improve my dream memory?

Before you fall asleep, remind yourself that you want to remember your dreams. Keep a paper and pen or tape-recorder by your bedside. As you awaken, try to move as little as possible and try not to think right away about your upcoming day. Write down all of your dreams and images, as they can fade quickly if not recorded. Any distractions will cause the memory of your dream to fade. If you can't remember a full dream, record the last thing that was on your mind before awakening, even if you have only a vague memory of it.

Dream FAQ Dictionary: What are the deeper levels of sexual dreams?

What are the deeper levels of sexual dreams?

Our sexual dreams like most dreams are a form of reflective thinking we do at night. in dreams we think in metaphoric pictures and assess our day's experience by comparing it to what we have seen and learned through out our entire lifetime. Since we are much less defensive and more synthetic in our dreams than while awake, we are more honest with ourselves and better able to give ourselves valuable feedback and insight. So our sexual dreams if understood can:

• Give us first hand experiences and practice in sexual techniques.
• Help us work through sexual inhibitions and perversions.
• Show us our psychological blocks to a fulfilling sexual life.

And by using sexual images as metaphors or symbols of emotional and interpersonal issues, our sexual dreams regularly open our eyes to problems in our relationships.

Dream FAQ Dictionary: Can Dream Predict the Future?

Can Dream Predict the Future?

Treat such dreams with caution and good sense. If you dream that your plane is crashing, there is no good reason to cancel your flight: the dream will simply be a reflection of your tension and a (perhaps unconscious) fear of flying. If you dream that that plane is piloted by a red-haired man with only one arm, and you are welcomed on board next day by a red-haired pilot with an empty sleeve, you might do well to be worried! However, most of them are only concidence according to statistics, although you think that the dream are predicting your future.

Practicality should always be underlined when we think of dream interpreatations. It is not a modern, untried theory - it has been used in many cultures throughout world history - though it is only in the present century that a general concensus has been reached about the way in which we should look at our dreams and discover how they can help us.

Dream FAQ Dictionary: How do I have lucid dreams?

How do you have lucid dreams?

 A. There are several methods of inducing lucid dreams. The first step,regardless of method, is to develop your dream recall until you canremember at least one dream per night. Then, if you have a lucid dreamyou will remember it. You will also become very familiar with yourdreams, making it easier learn to recognize them while they arehappening. If you recall your dreams you can begin immediately withtwo simple techniques for stimulating lucid dreams. Lucid dreamersmake a habit of "reality testing." This means investigating theenvironment to decide whether you are dreaming or awake. Ask yourselfmany times a day, "Could I be dreaming?

" Then, test the stability ofyour current reality by reading some words, looking away and lookingback while trying to will them to change. The instability of dreams isthe easiest clue to use for distinguishing waking from dreaming. Ifthe words change, you are dreaming. Taking naps is a way to greatlyincrease your chances of having lucid dreams. You have to sleep longenough in the nap to enter REM sleep. If you take the nap in themorning (after getting up earlier than usual), you are likely to enterREM sleep within a half-hour to an hour after you fall asleep. If younap for 90 minutes to 2 hours you will have plenty of dreams and ahigher probability of becoming lucid than in dreams you have during anormal night's sleep. Focus on your intention to recognize that youare dreaming as you fall asleep within the nap.

External cues to help people attain lucidity in dreams have been thefocus of Dr. Stephen LaBerge's research and the Lucidity Institute'sdevelopment efforts for several years. Using the results of laboratorystudies, they have designed a portable device, called the DreamLight,for this purpose. It monitors sleep and when it detects REM sleepgives a cue -- a flashing light -- that enters the dream to remind thedreamer to become lucid. The light comes from a soft mask worn duringsleep that also contains the sensing apparatus for determining whenthe sleeper is in REM sleep. A small custom computer connected to themask by a cord decides when the wearer is in REM and when to flash thelights.
