A Rainbow with a Smile

I suspect that there is a very funny aspect in my energy, that likes to enjoy life. Whenever I feel strong and I am able to produce enough thoughts with a good vibe, it seems that aspects of my soul are better able to show themselves.

This morning - just before I woke up - I had a dream in which I was lying next to my girlfriend and as I was looking at the way she was still asleep, I saw something moving up from behind the bed.

Slowly but surely I noticed a small (two hands width) cardboard showing itself. It was a cardboard with a rainbow painted on it. It really looked like a sun rising on the horizon. I couldn't help but smile at the sight of this drawn cardboard rainbow. Isn't life wonderful at these moments?

Desire to Meet Wise People

The last couple of months I have been quite busy with a very earthly topic dealing with the saving of many trees in a forest near my house. Although quite useful it has lowered my average vibration quite a few Hertz so to speak.

On top of that I have been around people who are presently in a rather wordly kind of mood as well. This has slowly caused an alarming sense of spiritual poverty and a lack of new inspiring thoughts.

I started to feel trapped in a relatively low vibration without any new spiritual challenges or the arising of new inspiring vistas. At first I tended to blame my girlfried for the lack of radiant creativity, but I am beginning to understand that I shouldn't really put the blame on her. It is mainly my responsibility to put my intentions on creativity and spiritual innovations.

I want to turn away from this situation of lack and move towards people and areas of thought that inspire and challenge my mind and heart. I intend to come into contact with people who inspire. I long to meet wise people.

I was putting these kinds of thoughts on my intentional pyre when I was heading towards my dreamconsciousness in bed. It is funny to notice that these desires seem to create dreams in which they already start to live out, as if I watch the slow materialisation of these intentions, moving through the planes of manifestation

Well, the dream was about being at a university again with mainly younger people. I was amongst people who were inquisitive. There was a rather crowded class room in which people had to sit rather close together but everybody thought this was fine because it increased the level of bound together with the same desire to learn.

I would love to be in a class with people with a teacher that really has spiritually evolved. One who is able to trigger new and enlightening thoughts. I have hardly known people who have this ability; most of the time I challenged the 'teachers' that I have come across.

Let's see if I can uphold the strength and perseveration to keep on sending the intentions to meet wise people into the atmosphere. Normally it would mean that these contacts would really start taking place. I want to be inspired again.

Breathing Through a Wave of Insanity

I have given a description of a dream with a slight scare of eternal insanity in the beginning of december 2009. It is not a common thing for me to have dreams in which I turn insane or are very scared. Most of the time my dreams are quite alright.

The reason why I want to write down another one is because these dreams are quite impressive.

This time I was in a room with a friend of mine. I don't know exactly WHAT happened, but somehow our vision started to become blurred and things didn't seem solid any more. It felt as if certain entities were around and we couldn't trust anything any more and my friend was on the verge of starting to distrust me as well.

I really felt weird and a strange throbbing sensation entered my brain: it felt as if I would almost lose my ability to stay in control. I felt I was being pulled into this weird and rather fearful mode of perception and the only thing I could think of was my breath. So I tuned into my breath and continued to breath carefully and I noticed that my throbbing brain sensations moved to the top of my head, to my crown chakra and as I continued breathing the sensations slowly moved away.

Creation of a Dream Temple

This morning I woke up and I was unable to remember any dream that I have had. Since I have been playing with the noetic concepts in the book 'the Field' by Lynne McTaggart my trust in the abilities of the mind has grown.

If our mind would be able to tune into other places and times as is mentioned in the book, why wouldn't we be able to tune into some kind of dream database? In order to make it more tangible I decided to create a Consciousness Temple for Dreams that would allow my mind to simply enter the temple and ask whatever I could think of and get appropriate answers of course.

So, I imagined being in the temple and I asked the 'infinite' field if I could please get some memories of the dreams I had last night. I continued breathing carefully and joyfully and to my excitement I actually received fragments of a dream, and after a while I received other elements of another dream, both stemming from this last night!

Being around Dead People in Dreams

There are various ways to become lucid in a dream. One can see extremely ridiculous things like a parakeet riding a bike, which elicits lucidity easily. In Becoming Insane in a Dream I wrote about becoming lucid after I noticed that the way someone talked looked absurd.

Another phenomenon that often creates lucidity in dreams is the one in which people who are dead occur. My initial tendency in those kind of dreams is that I tell the ones who are dead that they should realize their new status of being dead and that they are no longer supposed to hang around in dreams any more. This often is enough for them not to return again in another dream.

An interesting element occured in a dream I had last night. I was sitting at a table with about 7 people. One of them had recently departed which caused me to become lucid. Next to me sat a man who is quite interested in occultism. I tapped him on the shoulder and made an interesting proposal: I said, what would you say if we decided to become lucid together?

Well, I can't say he really became wildly enthusiastic. In fact not much more happened and I woke up with a small grin on my face.

It would sure be a wonderful thing if I could be lucid together with someone else: to both do the unimaginable.

Couples living in a Brothel

I saw a scene in a modern brothel. There was a long corridor with dozens of rooms. I believe that in many rooms not only women lived, but their partners as well. Perhaps this was a cheap way of living.

Occasionally a rich man would pop up and all the women would be forced to stand in the corridor next to the door opening. The man would walk between the women and he would choose one with whom he would have a sexual encounter in the room at the end of the corridor.

Well, the signal was given that it was time to get out of the rooms and into the corridor. However, in one of the rooms the man was making love to his girlfriend whom he loved dearly. They had to end their bodily contact and she had to stand in the line as well. The rich man who was given the privilege to pick a woman chose this girl.

He could see the man standing right next to her in the room and he politely asked the man if he was fine with the idea that he would pick his girlfriend. The boy knew how important it was and he kindly said, 'no, it's okay' and the man took his girlfriend away from the door.

There was a rather uncomfortable atmosphere as you can imagine and the boy was utterly confused.

Theater with White Screens

Last night I had this dream in which was watching a man who was facing temporary physical disabilities. This was the reason why was unable to deal with as much as normal people could.

In order to allow him to follow a certain play in a theater a compromise was created. The idea was that after a certain period of time the play would be halted and a white screen would appear. This would give this man the opportunity to let the stimuli of the play settle in his mind.

After all the information is stored in a time that was needed by the man, the play would continue and the white screen would vanish, only to reappear again when the man was again reaching his limits of integrating information.

Comment: what I like about this image is the idea that someone might need some time to fully integrate new information. Perhaps this goes for me and perhaps this goes for many others as well. When you want to integrate new information about the limits of consciousness you might do well to take an occasional rest to allow your unconscious to make all the necessarcy connections and links with your known world.
