Hebrew translation:
24. וְהִנֵּה שָׁנִינוּ, שֶׁהֲרֵי כְּמוֹ שֶׁהוּא הָאָדָם, כָּךְ מַרְאִים לוֹ בַּחֲלוֹמוֹ, וְכָךְ רוֹאֵה, וְכָךְ הַנְּשָׁמָה עוֹלָה לְהַכִּיר, כָּל אֶחָד וְאֶחָד כְּפִי דַרְגָּתוֹ כָּרָאוּי לוֹ, וּמִשּׁוּם כָּךְ פַּרְעֹה רָאָה כָּרָאוּי לוֹ, וְלֹא יוֹתֵר.
25. וַיְהִי מִקֵּץ וְגוֹ’. רַבִּי חִזְקִיָּה פָּתַח וְאָמַר, (קהלת ג) לַכֹּל זְמַן וְעֵת לְכָל חֵפֶץ תַּחַת הַשָּׁמָיִם. בֹּא רְאֵה, כָּל מַה שֶּׁעוֹשֶׂה הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא לְמַטָּה, לַכֹּל שָׂם עֵת וּזְמַן קָצוּב. שָׂם זְמַן לָאוֹר וְלַחֹשֶׁךְ, שָׂם זְמַן לָאוֹר שֶׁל שְׁאָר הָעַמִּים, שֶׁהֵם שׁוֹלְטִים עַכְשָׁו עַל הָעוֹלָם, וּזְמַן שָׂם לַחֲשֵׁכָה, שֶׁהִיא הַגָּלוּת שֶׁל יִשְׂרָאֵל תַּחַת שִׁלְטוֹנָם. זְמַן שָׂם הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא לַכֹּל, וּמִשּׁוּם כָּךְ לַכֹּל זְמַן וְעֵת לְכָל חֵפֶץ. מַה זֶּה וְעֵת לְכָל חֵפֶץ? זְמַן וְעִדָּן הוּא לַכֹּל, לְכָל אוֹתוֹ הָרָצוֹן שֶׁנִּמְצָא לְמַטָּה.

Zohar Miketz
Continued from previous DZ
The Zohar explains that even though Pharaoh saw the spiritual system he saw it on his level of wickedness.
When the soul of a person goes up during his sleep, it can see and understand only according to the spiritual level of the person.
In general only 1 out of 60 dreams is a true message but if a person prepares himself for the night with proper meditation before he sleeps then his soul can ascend higher and get true and supporting messages.
How can we have better dreams with true messages?
Sleep is a rest for the soul and the body. The body can get rest while awake but the ultimate rest happens when Soul and body rest at night time.
When we sleep, the soul leaves the body and goes up for a spiritual evaluation of the day and the future and get the nightly energy recharged.
Dreams are the stories of what went on with the soul above. Sometimes in addition to the daily processing, the soul receives messages about the future, giving her better guidance to do the spiritual work.
As a preparation for the night sleep, a person should be clean and relaxed. It is very important to relax the body. It can be done using slow paced deep breathing and muscle relaxation while in bed.
It’s also important to forgive and ask forgiveness to and from everyone you had issue with during the day or recent past. If it happens that it’s your last day in this life then forgiveness cleanses you from negativity.
Preparing the body helps it release the soul to go on to its nightly ‘trips’. Scanning Zohar text adds spiritual garment for the soul and it gives additional spiritual boost and elevation.
When the body is not relaxed the souls can not elevate higher (restless sleep) and stays in the lower levels where negative entities roam. A relaxed body does not ‘produce’ energy for them to enjoy and they let the soul pass easily up where the process is easy and beneficial for the soul.
