Dream Blocking

[Creepy Pippy]

I had something interesting told to me today. One of my friends told me that when she takes her sleeping pills she can have lucid dreams, and only when she
takes those pills. One of the things she claims she likes to do when she is having lucid dreams is go to friends houses. She will go through a friends house
and snoop through their **** basically. She will tell them the next day that they had this or that laying out and they freak out wanting to know how she knew
that.




Actually I am not really believing her for whatever reason. Gut instinct I guess. Basically on the "lucid" part and the "knowing what they have
set out that same night" part is the part I am not buying. But what I thought was interesting was she said every time she tries to come ot my house she
cannot get through the front door. That she knows I am home but I won't let her in.




I told her "damn right", since the witch wars I was assulted in years ago I protect the hell out of my house. I don't like unwanted visitors. She
says all innocent, " But I am not maliscious" and I tell her it doesn't matter, and it won't change.




So I thought that was very bizarre that she told me this. But I am glad to know that what protection I do have out on my home that it somewhat works. And I am
unsettled that she claims she does this, whether aware in her sleep or not it bothers me. Just thought I would share. I am interested in your opinions.

Intent or will is the force we bind to our thoughts and directives. How much they work depends on your personal power. Your intent to protect your home is your "spell".
This blocking marks that you have strong intent.
Sorcery is the use of intent and the ways of power whether in this attention, the second or the uniflication of the two called the Third Attention.
This blocking however works both ways as I am sure you must be aware.
To grow one must be able to take in power, shielding yourself will only make yourself limited. To solve this dilemma the intents must be made then unmade.

Hi Creepy Pippy! So nice to meet you!
You are a warrior. Do not be concerned with someone visiting you. They are all seeking light and you are a light bulb! Live as a Warrior and it will not concern you. For the Standing Mother,

Heya Dok! I have read many of your posts from the past and have loved your words. It is a pleasure to meet you!
You know I have said for years I am like a bugg zapper light. I attract all sorts of insects, some good, some bad. It is up to me to zap the bad ones when they get out of hand! haha!
I had a trying week, even more trying weekend concerning all of this. It seems that all the the bad elements from my past, all the craptastic people that I have worked so hard at distancing myself from came back to remind me of the drama they caused in my life back then. When I saw the guy that stalked me for nearly a year from the old coven I was in years ago yesterday I had had enough and went home. I think that was the cherry on top of the icing on the cake. I am throwing that damn cake away.

what we resist persists. to build a shield is to soundly affirm an attacker plus, once built, you have to hold the sheild in place which takes a lot of energy.
learning to become fluid, invisible and unreal leaves both hands free and makes you a more difficult target.

[Creepy Pippy]

I am not sure if we are understanding eachother. Let me back track on the fast forward. For years, years, I have attracted younger girls to me that either try and emulate me or become obsessed, for lack of a better term, with getting my attention and acceptance. After hanging out with them for the day or the weekend, or even a phone call, I would be physically drained and or my emotions wrecked from working with their issues. At one point in time I had a handful of girls that were up my ass. My other friends, mostly guys, joked and teased me calling them the "Bridgette Cult" or "Bridgette's Clones". That is how apparent it was.
At this point I had realized the situation was out of hand for what I was willing to deal with and I started placing sheilds up. I am fully aware that this takes energy, I am also fully aware that this blocks other good things to connect to me. But I became so good at this, unaware as I was, that I do not have to consciously place sheilds up anymore. So my question is not about them being up, but about breaking them down. Which I have been working on.
During this time I also was breaking away from a coven I was in, I had breifly had a fling with one of the guys in the coven and he started stalking me when I broke that off and quit the coven a few weeks later. In the meantime he started one of those infamous "witch wars" with me to my disbelief with some of the other members. I guess that ended alright because I aprantely made a flock of birds of all species dive bomb him through out the day, or so he has told everyone. *chuckles* (I still get amused with that one)
I ended up detaching myself from all these unwanted elements in my life. And belief me, when I was detaching they were causing all sorts of drama and throwing fits about some insane thing here and there. It was a long "battle" in a sense to break away from all that. So far it has been good and my life far less complicated and less stressful. Unfortunetly all those unwanted people from my past were showing up in a few week period not too long back and it was getting me down. I fought so hard to break away yet they try to resurface. I guess the Raid was not working as effective. Heh.
In the meantime I had the one friend telling me she was trying to enter my house dreamtime. Now I don't know about you guys, but I am very against people trying to barge into my house without my knowledge just to be nosey. That is almost as bad as someone sneaking into your house to snoop around while you are at work in the waking world. It's just not polite or considerate. But since she cannot get in that works for me.
Now Mamalama you saying "learning to become fluid, invisible and unreal leaves both hands free and makes you a more difficult target." That to me looks like you are saying, "Staying away and unsocial will keep the unwanted energy of others away from you so that you cannot be a target." Please re-explain your meaning because I think I am not getting your point.
But with the way I have understood it, I have a very private life, and a very social life. I love the books and the ways of the sorcerers, but I do not feel that I should live a life that is completely shut away from the rest of the world because these books promote that in a small sense. I think that you can interact in the world just as in the books without alienating yourself from society. But once again, I feel like I misunderstood your meaning.

Your outlook is very balanced. With time and effort, you will be able to recognize energies, both by "seeing" and feeling. Then you can pick and choose.... with the ability to neutralize any harmful or aggressive probes. There is nothing to fear.
Until then, you must rely on your common sense to do the above. Your dreaming may reveal those probes and indicate their nature, helping you to discriminate!

Yep that Seeing part is the part I feel is stunted. But I am working on it! Thank you.

[Nagual LoneWolf]

Seeing is sometimes understanding the nature of something.

Hi Pippy,
I often feel a distraction in my dreams, and also I don't let them in.
For me it works this way. I have my intent, that I follow.
I'm not interested in making pacts with persons/energies in dreaming that are having bad intents, like to intrude, to harm, in short terms, I don't have an intent to get unbalanced. If they contact me, all I do is to stop being aware of them and return to my previous intent.
I like exploring, seeing always something new, but without being bounded.
I think that finding true freedom is something that I long for. Maybe it is idealistic, but I somehow think that dreaming is the was of finding freedom. But it would be dreaming free, lead only by intent to dream, to feel that clearness of second attention, that brightness. It is cognition that this tiny reality is not all that there is.
In dreaming, the most important thing is to improve a dreaming consciousness and to have an intent. The rest is followed by long process of learning, that starts once when we properly enter dreaming attention.
Your dreams are your choices, and I think that your intents are clear, and full of desire just to know.
Having intents like that, and not entering dreams with some primary tonal desires,like to interrupt, to envy, to hate..., there is no way that you can be interrupted.
You are stronger than an entity that is attacking you and is trying to distract you, your intents are clearer, power is on your side.
We are what we decide to be, and in coordinance with that decision we should act. Our acts are our choices.
The person that intrudes you has maybe chosen a way of control, and you a way of freedom.
I wish you all the luck, for it also is my way, and I think the way of all of us here.
Castor

Let me see if I can clarify what I meant. At some point being admired may have been okay, no friction, somewhat flattering. Then the groupies went beyond your personal boundaries and you drew the line, put up shields, got them out of your sphere -- was that asocial?
Setting boundaries for the energy vampires in our lives is a necessity. I turn the ringer off on my phone when I don't feel like being bothered and I don't feel bad about it. Nobody truly needs me, they only believe they do. Certainly, they have their own devices, their own power, and can find their own way. Becoming invisible to them -- there for them in spirit, supportive in intent -- is preferable to being their crutch.
Fluidity is about adjusting and adapting. If an old agitant comes around refuse to engage them. You have a choice. Walking away is one and often the best one. That's not asocial, that's reality selection, your right and duty as a creator goddess. Perhaps these people, former adversaries really, appear to you again to remind you that you have this choice and in it lies your power.
Everyone is a reflection of yourself. When you see someone unpleasant ask yourself if you are like them in any way. This can be enlightening. I read that the people who upset us the most are our best teachers. This one friend of mine used to drive me nuts until I asked myself, "do other people see me like I see him?" A resounding YES came back and it was a turning point, showing me what I hadn't been willing to accept. It was painful and humbling but ultimately beneficial. Now, lesson learned, he is out of my life.
You thought these folks were long gone but now they're back, irritating you. Do they represent, possibly, what you'd like to disown in yourself but must accept? Can you embrace it instead, in its positive aspect, and learn to get along with it, to use it to your advantage?

Ok..Helena seems to have drifted...thus heed well that sorcery has two sides.

[Creepy Pippy]

I prefer Seventh Seas and Deadlands myself. Role playing that is. *blinks*

[Nagual LoneWolf]

the two bones are which?

[Vrill]

Hi Pippy!




I'm looking forward to the new Living Forgotten Realms campaign myself.




Those are Pencil and Paper games for the uninitiated, Wolf




It makes total sense, that you set up perimeters around your domain, given the circumstances you mentioned. Your friends should respect your space.
