dreams

[transitions4]

i left RF a long time ago, since then i have started dreaming quite well now, every night. i somehow lack a bit of control sometimes, but im getting to a point where im not just going along with the narrative and actually doing things. i might rejoin RF again some time soon, I have been drawn to that place again, i've been seeing omens about it. i feel sad that i didn't have the power to stay there and was kinda all over the place last time, i feel like i'm in a better place now to work on my dreaming practice.

monday night 12.11.16

i wanted to go to my old hood to hang out, i got on a bus but the lady bus driver didnt want to drop me off at the stop i wanted to get off at, there was a lady trying to get on the bus but the driver refused, it was kinda weird bus, the reason was a crazy man who would use his gloves as a breaking system, instead of using the breaks. so i got off the bus at this other stop which turned out to be better for me and i never realised that before. i was walking around, went to the shops and bought some food for dinner, then realised as i was walking thru the hood that i didnt live there yet and so i didnt have a house to go to make the food. i was looking around for a place to rent, and i could see the insides of the houses and picking out which buildings suited me, what configurations i liked. as i was walking i saw kids playing football in the street, i decided to go home and walked thru the fields, there was a group of kids, the boys wanted to pick on me, but i saw the moon and it was really crazy looking, like a mechanical silver and spinning round, i said 'look at the moon!' to distract them, then the moon started spinning and the perspective went weird as it bounced around and landed on the grass and became small (after being really big), Serloco was there (he never talked and people were confused by him cos of it) the kids were in awe of the moon spinning really small on the grass and tried to pick it up and make it their's but serloco shook his head and cracked an egg over the moon. i got the idea that it wasn't the way to try and control the moon or 'want' the moon. just before i woke up Serloco was showing me words that are powerful, it was like a series of notes written in a book like a flip book, they were special words and each one was written in a cursive style, the last one i saw before i woke up was amazing cos the way it was written showed how it moved consciousness upwards as you read it, it ended with an upwards inflection that seemed to lift the mind, i was amazed but i couldnt remember the words afterwards, one of them was 'success'.

i travelled instead to los angeles, where i have been before, or maybe it was san fransisco, cos of the layout of the houses, met FM from a famous band (this is the second time i have met him in dreaming in the last few months), this time i didnt bring my 'crazy friends' as he put it, they were people from my past that i used to hang out with, he didn't like them. we were hanging out and then we went to a store where you could print whatever you wanted on clothes, but i just wanted a couple of hoodies and some jogging pants, without anything printed on cos i didnt have anything to print on them, but in the end i decided not to buy them. FM wanted to play a new album he had in the van on the way home, we all got inside and listened to it, it was the best stuff i heard in a long time, (in waking life, this album doesn't exist). we hung out in the patio which i have been before, smokin and drinking. then i saw a bear from the window, a really big brown bear, and it was running away and there was another one, they were friends. it turned into a computer game that we were all playing, except this time the bears were white and it was snowing, when i was watching them play it was like a normal 3d type perspective game, but when i played it i was the bear. the bears were fighting and FM said that when he played it he never fought - that bears don't really like to fight like they show you in nature documentaries, and he showed how the bears hugged and became friends (relating to the Tao te Ching i was reading before bed) - he said that it was better to be gentle and have a loving heart. i started to play the game but became stuck in one part of the scenery and unable to move forward very much cos of the snow.

That's a cool dream. I do have much knowledge about words and power and ways of speaking that transfers directly awareness and understanding. It's not so hard to master either. Language can open the eyes of others if used correctly. I used to walk in the streets meeting allies and practicing hooking attention with words. I remember once the very act of writhing a poem made great changes in my reality. There is a great saying that states "the communication you intend is the communication you receive."

Hey transitions4, I'm glad dreaming has opened some doors for you . I love it when I dream of language and get to observe the awareness of letters, words, sentences; it is pretty amazing.
In this sense, I do believe that dreaming helps us realize and be more aware of how important some things are that we take for granted in our waking lives.
Language is of paramount importance to so many things. For example upholding reality, growing into a different one. It seems you had a valuable experience, thnx for sharing

If it were my dream I would value the learning lesson linked to language, I would see the part of the dream with FM and the printing possibility as something to explore/ investigate and the bear part of the dream as an omen and yet another learning opportunity.

FM seems to me to be in the role of a guide-friend to you. I see this in more things that you wrote in that second dream. One is how he mentions your past companions, another is the printing on clothes, his playing of music that had an important effect on you and another his role during the bear game.

This I read as a direct continuation of the learning lesson you just had in the previous dream. If I were you I would explore if this was a missed opportunity and if so I would manifest this in the tonal (get something printed on a piece of clothing that I would then wear, you should have no trouble figuring out what), or if it was how it was supposed to be that you did not print anything. It seems obvious to me you did not buy clothes in the dream because you did not get anything printed on them. The question is can you profit from figuring out what to print on a piece of clothing (that you then use, wear etc) or is it the case that you are to know how it is not to want or have anything that you would want to print. Hope you understand what I am trying to convey . I could say more about this but am not sure if it is appropriate to go further. I think you can figure this out on your own and I do not want to take away a part of your own learning and realizations.

My impression on this is that the changing of color from brown to white shows the presence of spirit. Bear is probably one of your more prominent spirit guides but surely a spirit guide for the time/situation you find yourself in now (or soon). As in, there is something you can learn from this spirit animal that will be to your benefit. The fact that they allowed you to observe them playing is a very good omen.
In case you had not done it already, I would direct your attention to the hugging vs. fighting. It seems to me this lesson is pretty clear, so forgive me if I am stating the obvious here. Of course, it can be looked at from more levels but I decided to write about one (the one most visible). LM told you that it was better to be gentle and have a loving heart - showed on the bears that don't really like to fight even though this perception/role is put on them by others. When you were the bear the bears were fighting, but it is in their nature to be gentle and loving. Moreover (possibly as a consequence), when you were playing the game you got stuck. Here is your learning lesson/opportunity.

Hope this response is of some help to you, cheers

Great dream, Transitions! Your screen name fits with the content too, it seems

Re what WG called attention to with respect to the bears in your dream...how they are often viewed through lens of fear as an embodiment of violence and fighting and how you made the transition to see them in context of playfulness.

I remember a similar dream of transition involving a bear. In it I was running from a big brown bear in fear...and then, eventually, a transition happened which shifted me away from that fearful state. After the shift, I remember feeling this overwhelming sense of friendship with the bear. We sat down together on the grass by a lake, eating a picnic and enjoying friendly conversation and the beautiful view....the same lake I was previously running insanely around, trying to keep it between me and the bear.

So, yeah.....transitions. Key for me is finding access to that transition here in the daily waking dream. That position in which fear dissolves and new opportunities for friendship, love, joy, awe come into awareness

hi watergaze! good to hear from you i realised that the words themselves were not that important. the lesson was really that words are powerful and the intent behind them can uplift awareness, it was like words can be a airplane that takes you higher. i see the language of dreams is interesting as well and i am learning.

music is important to me, its my life work, i didnt mention that just before he played it he said 'im sick of ***(note:a band i listen to a lot), they suck, listen to this instead' meaning that i should listen to his band more, with this what i learnt was that both bands are important to me, their influences have merged into my playing and what i play and how i sing is in some way drawing upon those bands, but really what he was saying here was that i should use all my influences, not just one band (which is kinda what i been doing), in fact create something new, be completely detached from influences and write 'new' music (the cd he played that i never heard before). it was cool.
(get something printed on a piece of clothing that I would then wear, you should have no trouble figuring out what), or if it was how it was supposed to be that you did not print anything. It seems obvious to me you did not buy clothes in the dream because you did not get anything printed on them. The question is can you profit from figuring out what to print on a piece of clothing (that you then use, wear etc) or is it the case that you are to know how it is not to want or have anything that you would want to print.
i do see what you mean, it was a lesson in detachment for me, altho i do see a good connection - getting my own t-shirts printed for my band etc.

i saw that the reason i didnt 'buy' the clothes was that i am learning detachment, i want to be free from needing anything (the clothes are related to aspects of personality, like the type of person i try to be), i dont need to wear certain clothes to be 'individual' whatever, it is silly to think that obviously, but the lesson was quite deep for me, and it was also related to the musical influences thing i just mentioned, i am moving on, without clothes (lol), in that i am gaining freedom through detachment.

Spirit is showing me a lot in dreams recently (i am dreaming pretty much every night), i saw the spirit guide connection clearly, it was funny cos i went to a friends house recently and we were watching a nature documentary and there was a bear in it, and his face reminded me of me, he was climbing a tree haha. i recently have been learning detachment, but also loving the world around me, the people, i have been angry and annoyed with people/world in the past and that crept into my life without me realising it again, so i have been working on this in silence, to not be offended or let things get to me. thanks for helping me watergaze, your insight was awesome.

hi glance left, yes it was a cool transition to see them in that context, haha. it was interesting to me cos i realised that bears do not have the same kind of disputes that humans have, i know its obvious really. an important part was that they do not like to fight (it was related to a section of the Tao te ching), that they resort to fighting as a way to resolve an immediate conflict, and its not really their nature to be aggresive all the time, they are more often gentle creatures. your dream sounds great, lots of lessons in that, i saw the relevance, thanks for sharing!

yes this is definitely a reflection of what is happening in my life, detachment being a key part of that progress, i realised a lot recently and been doing well.

serloco: That's a cool dream. I do have much knowledge about words and power and ways of speaking that transfers directly awareness and understanding. It's not so hard to master either. Language can open the eyes of others if used correctly. I used to walk in the streets meeting allies and practicing hooking attention with words. I remember once the very act of writhing a poem made great changes in my reality. There is a great saying that states "the communication you intend is the communication you receive."
this is exactly what i saw from the words section, how awareness can be transferred directly- the words themselves werent important, it is the intent, and those words moved me directly, and a lesson in how to do this.

i also saw how the act of writing stories and poems can affect/alter reality, i write my lyrics to that effect, havent written any stories recently but i may try this again soon- at the time(when i wrote a story in the past) i didnt realise what i was doing, now i have awareness of this i imagine it'll be more interesting. i like that saying a lot, it is very relevant, i will remember it. it was cool to dream with you man. many thanks.

[serloco]

It can also be the knowledge that the words are drawn in. The awareness you possess of what words do and how they do it ultimately forms the intended action and result.
