sorry to be a late comer, but just saw this one.. so many shared experiences here I had to post.
Flying
My flying dreams in recent years started with a matrix-like escape from something that looked like a level of 'Diablo'. During the hot persuit, I suddenly realised I could fly in a very 'shit this is a dream' way, but without realising that it was in fact a dream. Suddenly the dream transformed and became almost entirely about learning how to fly and the euphopria of it all. I spent *hours* in this state watching birds swoop and stall - (all very J.L.Seagul) trying to emulate them.
The next significant dream was much less peter pan and more levitating, flotaing to a position and holding, but still in a horozontal position - for example laying flat close to the celing in a room full of people. (This particular dream was defintely astral projection). I had a few more levitating dreams, both controlled and uncontrolled - one where I saw a UFO out of the window and ran to tell my friend, only to find in the excitement my feet had come off the ground and I was in fact levitating.
Then the last flying I remember was *complete* control over my flight. I was in a vertical position, arms by my side and was shifting al over the place both on the ground and in the sky at the speed of thought. So I guess this would be more teleportation/levitation rahter than flying. The key thing about this 'final' dream was seeing a friend watch me enviuosly as he bobbed unsteadily (this friend was also flying with me in other dreams). I realised I had been training and building up my skill, and this dream represented a graduation of sorts. Havent had one I could recall since.
Egyptian Gods in dreams
ok I had an awsesome experience of this mid November where I was totally aware of being watched over by Isis, Osiris and Horus (and others I couldn't make out) What was amazing about this dream was that as I became aware of them watching me, I looked at Osiris, then opened my eyes from deep sleep to see the sunrise, feeling joyous in Osiris' return, and then closed them to go back in the dream. I was completely freaked at how I slipped seamlessly from deep sleep, to calm bright eyed wakefullness and back to the dream. At that time there was no division between the states, and there is no question I was awake and not dreaming I was awake (for lots of reasons I wont go into now).
Has anyone else had this transition from dream to wake to dream?
Fear
Interestinly this also ties in with my attempts to deal with fear popping you out of your dream. For me, particularly if I feel I'm being attacked, or having a 'nightmare' once I've woken up, I wait for the hairs on the back of my neck to settle down, astrally arm and protect myself ("give me guns.. lots of guns" -Keanu) , and go straight back into it. I'm still working on stopping waking from excitement when I realise I'm dreaming. The only advice I've been given on this is 'keep going, eventually you'll stop getting so excited that you wont actually wake'
Theres also another experience I've had for many years that I'm trying to work out; it's the inverse of the fear you get when you are about to go to the toilet in a dream - (which seems to be a subsoncsious signal pasted into your dream to wake up so you don't wet yourself.) Basically often when I am going to the toilet in waking hours I have a sudden fear that I am in fact dreaming. It's got stronger over they years and I've recently found I'm not alone in this. I think it's something to do with fear of being lost as barriers between wake/sleep disolve. A bit like the never waking up fear. Anyone else get this?
On general magickal fear, or when a nightmare takes over I often go for the 'fear is the mind killer' mantra from Dune. That usully stops the panic, but doesn't eradicate the fear. Once I can function, I just get on with it, knotted guts or no. |
