Beyond my egoic plans...

Last night I visited a new space in dreamtime...

I'm supposed to be here and it seems to be the office and home of an important guide or therapist of sorts... It seems I am planning to do several sessions here and the last one would be with the main male guide who lives here... I am planning on meeting some others and doing sessions with them as me as the guide... before going in... since I am was early... I work on fixing some signage near the entry door and shift a number "1" by bending it over so it is no longer visible... the number before I changed things was 1000 or 10.00... so not sure exactly why I changed it... I enter and there is a lot of stuff around as if things are being shifted and moved around... I sort through things and find some clothes of a woman I knew on the floor and place them in a bag as if to wash later...

Then the woman enters and we talk a bit... I think she is related in some way also to the main male guide or owner... perhaps his mate... and she knows me... she asks me: "is there was an issue with 'self- inherent'?... and I answer, "yes"... although not sure exactly what she means except I think it has to do with self-worth or esteem issues. 

As we are now seated and talking, I notice an old tub with a pump of sorts in it and ask her if "the jacuzzi works"... she says, "no" and then I notice it is not hooked up and simply looks like an antique tub with four 'feet'... It becomes apparent that the main guide is listening to all we had said and I figure he must have a special system and is monitoring everything that is going on from a different level...

Now the main guide fellow is standing in the doorway and the woman is beside him... he talks and there are now 6-8 people around a table dressed in robes having some breakfast danish... He asks them to introduce themselves... it seems that they are a equally mixed group of good looking males and females, who I may know but do not recognize... I am still separate from them and the 'male guide' notes that I have gone back to sleep... and so I open my eyes and say, "no, I am awake" and then I make close eye contact with several of the people at the table as I go to get something to put on from my bag of clothes since I realize I am only wearing underpants... I pick out a sleeveless green shirt and slip it on over my head...

Notes: it seems some important transition dynamics are occurring... as I am open to the present moment... I did become aware that I was doing my best to plan and sort and then different things happened anyway... kind of like life were we think we know what is going to happen and then, 'voila,' something else occurs!

 

... the issue of "self-inherent" may point more to the inherent nature of "self" rather than a negative interpretation about negative self talk which is my overlay some of the time... As I look for some relaxation and peace in something antique I discover it is no longer useful... and of course there IS a new awakening in the dream that takes the inner guide to point out that I appear to be going back to sleep... the group is a new group in their robes as if just waking up as well... we are being introduced... Although, this journey was ended by some external noise calling me back to my waking body, I must assume there is always more and there are good messages in this much of the night travels... the "inherent" Self is orchestrating some new groups activities... and I will be attentive to what they may be... for now, waking up again seems the most important...

 

.... and I'm sure there is more.... You thoughts and comments are invited... do you get any other 'hits' from this dreamtime journey??

Rabbit holes and collective harvests

And then there come along the moments when we fall into the rabbit hole and the world around us disappears....

 

The world we knew has gone away... Oh, it looks the same, but feels totally different.

 

We wander about wondering where it all went... the love and joy and peace... seemingly flushed away in an instant and we wander in the dark, lost to everything except this present moment.

 

Now, we know there are dark days and nights... We know this from the travels of the past. We know there is light even when we do not see it or feel it... We know this because the light always reappears though the clouds.

 

Now in the rabbit hole, we begin to see shadows of malevolence and control... could this have really been us... holding young ones hostage and not knowing why... Feeling we will get caught and must flee... but having no real insight into the actions that brought about such guilt. We release all those who we tried to keep captive and their families come to this large and ancient house... We look to make our escape, but have lost our wallets and keys, and toss whatever evidence of wrong doing into the fields hoping it will not be found... yet it is always found... and those around us are talking to the police and we know they may soon capture us...

 

In the dark again, we stop for food and are being served yet begin to argue about what actually happened... and the anger and confusion and misunderstanding deepens and washes away any sense of community. Some of us see all the possibilities of what occurred and feel a frustration that others cannot understand there are more than one way to look at any situation...

 

Together again we continue down the rabbit hole and we enter a gathering of a family having some type of feast or picnic... some we recognize, many we do not... but it hardly matters for most of the time while there we have our eyes closed and walk around in a semi-conscious stupor... finally we decide we must leave and asked where our companions are only to find out that they are off in a private room with other strangers who we do not know... It is time now to move on...

 

We find ourselves in a room and there are four groups in a learning situation... We are assigned to work together, to prepare, and present information for the whole group... and we realize there is more to do... We are shown a video and are in the house of some relatives.  A man is talking... and then we realize that he has an ear piece and is actually talking over a remote phone system to someone else... There is a new light fixture in the dining area and from this small chandelier a wire hangs down with a decoration on it. As the decoration is moved aside, we see a beautiful antique single hanging light with gold leaves twined around it. There is a cord that hangs down and the light comes on when a man pulls the cord.

 

The scene shifts and we are walking along through the fields of a farm. Our male companion is still talking on the phone to some mysterious connection. It seems there were some clandestine operations that took over the farm. As we walk along we see to our right several large pieces of fruit or vegetables. They are shaped like pumpkins and watermelons and are maroon-color almost like red-beet color.  We then come to a large grate in the ground and can see clearly through it to a expansive area below ground. It appears that a large operation or harvest has taken place and now the whole area is clean and cleared as sunlight shines through and it seems that it must be open on the side of a hill so the light and vehicles can enter... We are clearly viewing the evidence of some collective activity that has occurred.

 

And now we walk along and the rabbit hole adventure has brought us to the light of a new day.

-----------------------
Note: There are times when we find ourselves in a funk... we may be dealing with old patterns and energies surfacing in our psyche and it can also be a reflection of the energies and work going on at our collective level. It appears that we are always and in all-ways more than we think we are... the work we are doing may seem difficult at times in the area of personal growth... and it is my belief that we are helping transmute the energies of the collective... we are one with all that is in a real and mysterious way...
