L.A.B., I do not know why but I feel like something big is going to happen in the next few decades, it's probably my young age talking though. Maybe these dreams are conditioning? | ||

L.A.B. said:
It does seem strange. Something is "afoot," surely. I'm no bible-thumper, certainly no fundamentalist, but I am seeing synchronicities in current events and some of the things not only the bible has mentioned for the last days, but many sacred writings of several cultures, including many of the things Joel Upaava has kindly shared with us regarding the Hopi prophecies. I think MANY paths are valid ones, for many lanes make up a highway. Whatever our chosen "path," I do think we should prepare ourselves for whatever certainly seems to be coming.

Finishing up in the shop and an old dream popped into memory, thought I'd plop it down here. I had, when I was something of an art student, a series of Picasso dreams. I don't really care for his work, but I had several dreams that were educational in nature. One dream was about technique in painting (I'm not a painter), another was about subject matter in art, and the last was about worlds within worlds. I am walking up to my dorm in this dream, and I see Picasso hunched over with his head buried in the grass. He looks up with with those eyes of his, and motions for me to come over. He says something about most people not noticing the little things. "There are worlds inside the world we know," he says, and motions for me to get really close, my nose buried in the grass. I look and I see decayed grass and roots of the grass along the surface, ants and some very small mushrooms all existing below the forest floor of the grassy yard. I am looking and he urges me, "Closer; now focus!" So I poke my nose in a little more and then try to focus. Then an unexpected thing happens; I see a glow coming first from the little mushrooms. A glowing white light, like a phosphoresence. Then I see trails of light coming off the roots and the grass, then an energy jumping around the ants as they move unconcerned that a creature like me looms so close. Picasso lifts his head up slightly and I meet his gaze like we are two kids looking at each other with a big secret. He says, "You see." And this in turn reminds me of a waking memory from when I was a five or six year old when I was walking through a forest full of gum trees (I think). These trees have these seeds that are called gum balls. They kind of look like thorny geodesic spheres with these small openings all over them. You see them used in wreaths sometimes. I was looking at one of these and as I looked, I saw a red glow rise up from inside this pod. Like an ember glowing inside. After that, how could I not believe in magic, even if 'bounded' by the innocence of childhood? I wonder if we stop looking and start trying to see, that maybe we would begin doing just that? | ||

That's so weird that you post about peeping at the secret world of ants with Picasso. Picasso was such a 'patriarch'. And I just dreamt of an ant person. Drifting back to sleep tonight, I saw an 'operating table' - those were the dimensions. It was metallic looking and on it was what I thought was a person. As I got closer the skin looked exo-skeletenish, but still like skin. And the head was rounder kind of like a baby ant. I don't exactly have the kind of rigid schedule that demands attention to a clock. I gave up wearing watches because they all break. It must be overactive imagination. How can you know if it's real, if the memory is wiped out and all you get are fragments and feelings. Those could just be reality consensus. 'When one see's the equilateral triangle, the gray's are already standing beside you.' - Didn't Whitley say that? What does that mean? Is that true? The equilateral triangle with the circles at the corners? | ||

"The equilateral triangle with the circles at the corners?" Ack, you would have to say that. I was given a clover-like emblem the other night (in a guided-visualization exercise) and told it would aid me in having an LD if I concentrated on it. It wouldn't take much tweaking to turn that into what you describe. Maybe it's just coincidence... "...I'm goin' to Hoag Land, Hoag Land..." | ||
| Hale Intermediate Member Username: hale Post Number: 191 Registered: 7-2006 |
I think perhaps I picked up on the teacher-like role that Picasso played while alive and used him as part of the dreams, although in the other dreams I asked him questions specific to his own work (despite not really being all that interested in it on a personal level). He never wrote any books while alive, but there are lots of pretty good quotes from him about art and art making. I suppose, too, that Picasso occupied my mind as being one of the leading lights in the abstract movement, despite how chaotic and screwy his personal life was, so perhaps another reason for his teacher/leader role in the dreams. I think for myself, I rely on experience and worry less about the 'reality' of the experience unless something else comes along to somehow inform that experience that could change the context of the original experience (like updates or upgrades) I too have stopped wearing watches years ago. I found I did not need them. A clock on the wall works just as well (just as long as it is not in front of me). Seems there is always a clock in the car either as part of the stereo or on the dash. I have found the clock to be a distraction in many instances. Important in some cases, but often too easy to become a slave to it. I'm sorry Waxy, what is 'LD'? SLW; that dream.......cocoons. Pretty powerful image. Sure would make me stop and think. | ||
| nicole Senior Member Username: albi Post Number: 772 Registered: 7-2006 |
I think he means lucid dream. That's weird about the clover Wax. I like looking for four leaf clovers. It's leprechaun code. That is a nice dream about Picasso and the ants. It's an intimate child-like exploration. The kind Picasso liked. I think the people who've really met the Gray's know it. But the older I get, the less I know. | ||

This was of the three-leaf variety. I'll do the closest mockup of what I saw that I can. "...I'm goin' to Hoag Land, Hoag Land..." | ||

Thought you might be! Even though this could all just be vivid 'daydreaming', it's worth bumping off you folks who are more symbology-savvy than I. Anyway, here is the LD-induction "clover": http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c129/RealWaxy/DreamEmblem.jpg And this is my best approximation of the "key" I was given for unlocking normally-inaccessible regions of "dreamspace": http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c129/RealWaxy/Gatekey.jpg "...I'm goin' to Hoag Land, Hoag Land..." | ||

As I worked on them, I noticed both incorporate the number 3... "...I'm goin' to Hoag Land, Hoag Land..." | ||

The triangle I saw in the clouds was like that clover but the triangle was bigger and the circles smaller. Your symbols are like annotated crop circles. | ||

Waxy I recognise something from those images ..reminds me of my 'safe haven' I was shown taken there a year ago .. I described it as being like a teepee but you could say pyramid or triangular space.. very safe indeed no harm can come to me there .. lol.. cant find my way back there tho so it was like a oncer but very vivid very real.. very cool. Perhaps we all have that a place to call our own. | ||

Mark, great to have your input. I'd run across this earlier while looking at the "Barbury Castle" crop formation, which looked to me a bit like a combination of my two symbols! I'll play with this a bit... "...I'm goin' to Hoag Land, Hoag Land..." | ||
| Wax Tadpole Senior Member Username: waxtadpole Post Number: 1175 Registered: 3-2004 |
Too tired to figure it out; I was hoping I could just "connect the dots" as it were and learn what that particular configuration signified... "...I'm goin' to Hoag Land, Hoag Land..." | ||
| Wax Tadpole Senior Member Username: waxtadpole Post Number: 1176 Registered: 3-2004 |
Here's a goodie, as I knew nothing of chakra symbols before tonight. While I didn't find an exact match for my LD-induction symbol, the closest match is for the throat, which is interesting to be because I'd been reading "Exploring The World Of Lucid Dreaming", by Stephen LaBerge, which makes mention of a Tibetan induction technique involving focusing ON THAT CHAKRA!!! Coincidence? "...I'm goin' to Hoag Land, Hoag Land..." | ||
| Wax Tadpole Senior Member Username: waxtadpole Post Number: 1177 Registered: 3-2004 |
I'd love to see a site full of Tibetan Buddhist symbols; I'm betting I'd find an exact match, or nearly exact... "...I'm goin' to Hoag Land, Hoag Land..." | ||

Three years ago, my best friend from childhood came to visit me in Florida. For years, we had called each other several times a week, and made it a point to see each other at least three or four times a year. A couple of days after he left, I received a phone call saying that he was dead. He went to sleep and just didn't wake up. He was a severe diabetic with complications affecting his heart, but it still came as a big shock. Such a shock that I was never able to mourn his loss, which probably explains why, for months afterwards, I would pick up the phone to call him 3 or 4 times a week, and while dialing, the realization would kick in and I'd quickly hang up. Strangely enough, I never dreamed about him either, until last night's extremely vivid dream. I dreamed that I was in some place in the countryside, and he arrived wearing a tuxedo and driving a vintage, white Rolls Royce. Accompanying him was a heavyset Samoan wrestler--I have no idea how that fits in with the scenario. At any rate, we were really happy to see each other, and having a great time laughing and talking, so I was minding my p's and q's because I didn't want to bring up the fact that he was supposed to be dead. Eventually, we left this little country house, as well as the Samoan wrestler, and started driving down a narrow highway. My friend pulled off onto a dirt road and stopped the car. He looked at me with the saddest expression that I've ever seen in my life, and I was suddenly sure that it had occurred to him that he was dead. I even started to say that I knew what he was going to say. But he shook his head and said "You'll know at this time next year." Then, the headlights of a couple of cars appeared behind us, and he started up the Rolls. Without actually getting out of the car, I found myself back at the little house, and my friend drove away. A lot of these type of really vivid dreams seem to have a way of coming true--sometimes the content is symbolic so that I don't understand it until after a specific real-life event has occurred. Anyhow, it just seemed very ominous, but I've been having a lot of dreams and other stuff that I can't explain, all having apocalyptic overtones. Don't know what it means. | ||

Glad you posted it, russ. It's a good idea to get powerful scenes like that one out on paper so that you can get a bit of distance from them.

I had a dream last night that I want to share just because it was a very neat and frightening dream. I was out with a bunch of friends I have never met before in real life. There were three to six of them off and on in the dream. The whole dream me and my dream friends were being chased and taken up into the sky by different kinds of UFO's. I was wondering when I would be next. We all ended up in this rundown, cheap hotel out in some desert somewhere. I forget the name of the hotel. There were three of us left when we got to this hotel, the rest of us had been taken and disappeared into the sky. The four of us left all huddled in one of the rooms of the hotel to hide from "them". We thought we were safe in this hotel room with the doors locked and furniture in front of the window. Then all of a sudden, one by one, my friends were being sucked up into the sky through the ceiling. Pretty soon I was the only one left and I was terrified. I was wondering what would happen to me when I got "taken". Who would I meet? Would I simply cease to exsist? Where had my friends gone? After awhile of sitting there I realised that nothing was happening to me and I was still here. It was dark when we got into the hotel room but I now looked out the window through the furniture and saw that it was a beautiful day. Somehow I felt safe again and decided to step out of the hotel room and see if I could find my dream friends. I went to the manager's room and found a young boy playing out in front of the manager's room. I asked the boy, "May I speak to your parent?" The boy got his Dad who was the manager of the hotel but the manager was different than before. He was an older man that had a grease monkey look to him. Like he was a born redneck of the south. I sinced that this was a very good man. I asked him if he had seen my friends and told him there names, which I can't remember either. He said he didn't know any people by that name and that the only hotel resdident there was me. I looked up at the hotel's name(I really wish I could remember the name because I remember looking at it). I wanted to see if it was the same hotel name I had been at the night me and my dream friends got there. Sure enough it was the same exact name of the hotel I had stayed in with my friends the night before. This lead me to the conclusion that I had been "taken" after all. "They" transported me to an alternate reality or another dimension or universe that was similar to the original one I was from but with some minor differences. The hotel did look a little different and the manager was different as well. I knew my friends were alright and were living "elsewhere" as I had been so I stopped worrying about them after that. The dream ended as I recall after this realisation. This was a truely wonderful dream for me. I have never had a dream that delved into a concept so deep as this one. I really feel like there was somebody or something that was teaching me a lesson through a dream that there is more than one set reality. Not just the universe we live in but that there are multiple universes and different realities similar yet much different than the one we live in everyday. I sure have been getting alot more dreams about "them" lately. Maybe the dream world is actually the reality that the mind and soul itself exsists in. Maybe dreams are as real as the physical world I am in right now. Maybe the only reason the dream world seems less real than the physical one is because I am so familiar with the physical that I have forgotten how to function in other realities, in other planes of exsistence. What if the physical reality can be manifested just as much as the dream world can and we have forgotten or are prevented from learning how to do this? This is all speculation of course. This dream has made my mind soak in it. I'm starting to ramble on so i'll stop. Hehe. Thanks for listening. | ||

VERY interesting, Brandon. Dreams like that can be mind-boggling. Sometimes they haunt me for days, even weeks, afterwards. Yours sounds like such a dream. I wonder some of the things you were speculating about too. Just what IS "real"? I think I know, but do I? Do we? "Question what's real. Question who's real." | ||
| Brandon Junior Member Username: who_am_i Post Number: 64 Registered: 3-2006 |
So true, Thomas. I like your signature. To question is the main reason we are here on this Earth, I believe. That is why I don't get why so many people think they know it all. If we had all the answers to every question than what a dreadfully boring exsistence this would be. To question, is being. To quit questioning would be the same as ceasing to exsist. How will you ever learn anything new again if you know everything already? Nearly everytime there is an answer it is accompanied by at least one or more questions. An everlasting cycle of knowledge that never ends. Maybe there is no true answer to be found, only questions. Maybe that is the answer to everything. Then again, I'm probably all wrong. LOL. Less than a year ago I would of never talked or even gave any thought to this kind of stuff. My, oh my, how things change. | ||
| slw Advanced Member Username: slw Post Number: 484 Registered: 12-2002 |
Brandon, Your description of how dream reality may exist is alot like I've thought of it. Some dreams seem to be too real, like we've gone into another reality. Those are the dreams that I'm interacting with others and in another life. The dreams where I'm observing and not participating but only watching scenes before me are the ones that seem precognitive. Just an observation of mine, could be true or not. | ||
| Thomas Senior Member Username: thomas_j_veil Post Number: 3900 Registered: 3-2006 |
Sometime I hope you'll tell us what changed your mind, Brandon. For many years, I made for myself almost a "cottage industry" out of denial—"the question" was just to much for me to bear, so I settled for "cheap certainty" instead. (From time to time I still fall into that trap, but I do try to remain aware of the trap's existence now.) Sometimes I think both "believers" and "skeptics" settle for similar "cheap certainty"—it feels like an easier path than to bear "the question." "Question what's real. Question who's real." | ||
| Brandon Junior Member Username: who_am_i Post Number: 65 Registered: 3-2006 |
slw, I too have dreams that seem more than a dream. It really makes me wonder. Thomas, What changed my outlook were some strange sightings of hovering aircraft on a particular night coming home from work. you can read my profile if you want to read my sighting and the possible explanations I have for it. I have seen these very strange flying aircraft every single night since then but I just think they are military aircraft(there are 3 military bases in San Antonio where I live) however, I still question that. Nevertheless, This strange event did something to me in an unexpected way. It made me open my eyes to infinite possiblities. It made me question things that I am not used to questioning and for that I am grateful. No matter what these aircraft are. I am saving up for a good digital video camera so I can see what these things look like on film because photo's dont show how these things move and come out looking like lights of a regular aircraft or don't come out at all. I want to see what these things move like outside of my own vision before I make any concrete conclusions. It's probably nothing though and I feel foolish even suggesting that they are strange. But they are or else they would not have me so confused. That is what I believe is the reason for this change in thinking. A few strange moving lights and the kid goes wild!  | ||

buddie, Yes, and while the dream is going on, it all seems normal. It's only when we wake up that we realize and wonder who those people are that we know in the dreams. In reality we've never seen them before. Strange but interesting. brandon, I read your experience in your profile and it sounds like more than Air Force. In fact, very exciting! Especially the way the aircraft seemed to be zoning in on you. Sometimes they seem to tease people like that. I hope you're able to get them on camera soon! | ||

A strange thing has been happening to me lately while dreaming. I hear a voice talking to me right before I awake. It seems to be coaching me about my dreams and actions within the dream. This morning it was telling me to take my level of awareness up and down and I did. A few nights before that I heard the words "you will wake right now" and my eyes opened. Another night I did something in a dream and I heard "now should you really be doing that?" I felt embarrassed and before I could reply it said "good." I was going to say no. | ||

I dreamed this morning I was in my old garage at my house we sold and was sitting at my wheel throwing a pot. And sitting there I looked up and saw a beautiful naked angel. The angel smiled at me and communicated something and I felt this love come over me. I love this being and always have felt I have known them always. Bizarre I know but the dream people are very real for me. Always have been. Now I want to relate a bit of another dream. I picked up This blond woman and her sister n law and dropped the sister n law off some where and the blond took me to get a smoothie. They made it in a special way with a hand mixer and a paper plate but I chose a strange combination to put in to it like bannoca almond joys and gummy bears. The more like a dq blizzard then a smoothie. She went on ahead of me and I met her on a patio and she related to me 2 things we had met when we were 15 and as we looked across the street the old coffee house had a sign on the lawn that said fire house 17. Anyway she told me to try the smoothie and I did and it tasted like nothing I ever tasted before she smiled at me then I smiled back as the creamy ice-cream concoction slid down. Oh ya I was driving the jeep and it had been snowing and she wiped the snow and frost away and the snow and ice on the ground disappeared as well. A lovely person showing me kindness in the dream. | ||

I had a long involved instruction dream last night. I don't remember all the details, but at one point I approached a house where people were gathering. Everyone was going there to see Jimi Hendrix play. I managed to squeeze into the room where Jimi was jamming and I had to stand on some boxes to see his hands. His hands were moving so fast I couldn't follow his picking. I thought, isn't that just the aliens. Now you see them, now you don't. | ||

John & Damon, Your dreams remind me of a story I once read in a book. An angel tied the ends of an invisible silvery thread to the hearts of two individuals. They were joined together always and when they were apart the thread would tug at the hearts. It wasn't necessarily a good thing as it could sometimes cause heartache. A bit unusual but similar to what you've described. | ||
