Purifying my Emotions?

[lakshmi17]

I am new to the forum. I am also a newbie juice faster. Three days into it I have noticed that I am feeling worse physically- headaches, lower back pain and stuff-which I expected. But more suprisingly I have had these dreams that are really strange and during the day things from the past started popping into my mind with a new intensity.
Is this normal? Is there an emotional detox that happens too?

totally normal. fasting dreams and often vivid and bizarre. and you don't only detox your body... you detox all of you - emotionally, spiritually, mentally, consciously, sub-consciously and physically.

enjoy your fast!!!

Thanks Aleesha. Feeling much better now and just observing the interesting dreams. Nice to be able to ask a newbie question and be assured instead of quitting the fast. :)

ya this is a good place to get fasting support. there are many fasters on this forum!

:eek: the same thing is happening to me! lol... but the dreams get better and better...

Last night i dreamt of "treats" that were only 99 cents! i looked in the store window and i couldn't make out what they were... they were round, and they became clearer as i looked. The price was the clearest thing i remember! I didn't wish for them, and i didn't buy them...

very intense!

I'm keeping a diary to record all the emotions coming out and the dreams... it's interesting to read later when you've reached a point of clarity later on.

I smashed a TV my first year raw ~ when I was going through an emotional detox of sorts. Sounds like you are doing better than I was! LOL! :eek:

Dreams getting better - painted all night long last night. :D lol.
(In "real" life- not so artistic). Dream journal is a great idea.

Most likely from your brain not getting enough nutrients, or your body under stress..

I've noticed I only started remembering my dreams when I started to feel very sick. Prior to this I only rarely remembered my dreams, usually only if woken while I was dreaming.

Like since you aren't in such a deep state of sleep your conscious mind is more aware and you remember your dreams easier. I never think of remembering or having "vivid" dreams, which just means you're more aware of them.. as a good thing.

The funny thing is that meditation works the same way - when you start meditating, you get bunch of vivid dreams - very positive and very negative. I believe it is emotional detox, because our bodies and minds are interconnected - you can't change one without touching the other. Today i am just on the fifth day of my juice fast and I already notice, how much more beautiful the world around me is - the leaves, the lights....And yesterday I had a good hearty cry for a long time...and was kind of overactive.

Smashing a TV is probably a good thing to do whether you're detoxing or not :D
