Hello Estrella:

I cannot say anything about dreams and visiting places etc. in dreams from
my personal experience. All I can do is speculate.

As for sex and spirituality, there are two schools of thought.

Firstly sex like hunger and thirst is a perfectly normal human need. This
was specifically mentioned in one of the letters to AP Sinnett (Mahatma
Letters to AP Sinnett).

Secondly, there is the question of sex and its relationship to spiritual
"progress" or "enlightenment".

On this issue again there are two schools of thought. The post HPB thought
is that for anyone to progress spiritually one needs celibacy. It is the
same that all religions have spoken of for centuries.

The other school is that of Jiddu Krishnamurti who says celibacy is not that
important to spiritual growth. This statement coming from Krishnaji is
something very radical and difficult to accept by most who have grown up in
the traditional environment. It you are interested I can post a fairly good
summary of his explanation why.


Hope this helps.
