Recorded Dream but Not Here This AM

[J.K.]

Man...   I'm wondering if this is going to keep up.     lol

I normally only rarely dream.  However, last night I dreamed all night, it seems, again.  I'm about one week into regular energy work - and last night's dream had a definite twist.

I go to sleep while actually in the process of stimulating the energy center on my thumb knuckle.  In the dream I'm asleep in my bed although some things seem to be rearranged.  The window beside me (which I normally keep open) is open and there are lots of cats outside.   Not small one's mind you - but big strong cats.  Like manx but in different colors.  They decide to jump in my window and once there each of them tense up.  Being in the room makes them feel cornered to one another  and thus sets the stage for a cat fight.  They're on my bed now and I'm under the covers but I dare not move for fear of being the catalyst to them fighting.  Them being so close to me I don't want to be caught in the middle of it.l

Ultimately, however, I say what the hay and somehow I manage to sling all but one of the cats back out the window but one.  Problem is this one's still scared to death which means he could attack me in self defense.  I try to move out of the room but wind up pinned against the wall - the cat directly in front of me and poised to attack.  I notice at that point my dog (Digit) is side by side with me.  He raises up on his hind legs and becomes 8 feet tall (taller than me).  In recriprocation the cat raises up on it's legs but does not grow tall.  Digit still raised on his dose not move.  I remain still and the cat puts on a display of his teeth in the most unusual way.  His mouth flays wide open in a most unusual manner.  Think of the cloth that covers the bread basket open on all 4 sided and you'll understand how it was that he opened his mouth. - Ultimately the cat lowers himself to the ground though and with a "shooo" motion by me jumps back out the window.

Next I somehow find myself outside my home but the landscape has changed.  I seem to be standing in the front of my house but it's a mansion.  Moreover, some people are there and we briefly discuss the cat.  Quickly it's realized that this episode is over and we can all relax now.  There is a girl that I want to be with very much at this point, but for some reason I can't - and choose another lover although that's not really what I want to do. (this is a little fuzzy).. Anyway, when we get back to the house it appears that I'm gonna wind up with this girl anyway but there is something wrong about it.  Before that happens though someone says "look behind that curtain."  As I recall it's not really a curtain but a curtain made to look like a wall.  Slowly it begins to open and behind it are all these people.  It seems they're in on some kind of joke that I'm not aware of.

Now - here's what's interesting.  At this point the dream becomes lucid (very rare for me). And I become aware that I need to record this somehow.  There is a book or some kind of journal on the vanity table.  I open the book and try to read it.  I'm wanting to take some type of information with me from this experience.  In some sorta odd way my vision splits.  1/2 of me is having a lucid dream and the other 1/2 is here ready to transcribe whatever it is I might see.  I focus in on the letters in the book and believe I see Leviticus 11:12 (although this morning I'm not sure if that's what it is)..  I write that down on a piece of paper so that I can save it for recall later.  Immediately after doing so, however, I go get back in my bed.  I'm very tired and want to go to sleep.  I tell myself I'll deal with this in the morning.  At least I've got a record of something.

Once in bed I fall asleep and soon thereafter enter the dream state again.  I'm on my stomach once again looking out my window beside my bed.  There is a freakin huge Boar out there - standing parallel to me.  I can see his whole body and his head is huge.  I'm reminded that wild Boar can be dangerous and again I fear he might attack.  He's spotted me but he's not moving nor am I.  All of a sudden I find a knife in my hand and I kinda jab it for him thinking he will either run away or we'll have it out there.  Something has to give to end this stare-down.  With that - rather slowly (not fast) he moves toward me.  I decide that in that moment I'll position the knife between myself and him so that to bite me he'll have to come through the knife.  The knife tip is now perched on the tip of his snout.  He wants to bite my hand (I think) and he slowly presses toward it.  I find it odd that if he were to bite me he'd be doing so on the very thumb joint I'd been stimulating prior to going to sleep.  He presses forward and the knife does enter his snout.  It's about three inches in now - but he can go no farther than that.

I awake again (this time for real) and go to my desk to see what I wrote down while recording what I'd read in the book.  Nothing is there.  Although I thought I wrote it down for future recall (literally - in this world) it turns out I haven't.  As a result I record what I can - get back in my bed for real and sleep the rest of the night. - Then this morning I post.  

Man - I hope it's not like this every night....    lol

Leviticus 11:12- Anything living in the water that does not have fins and scales is to be detestable to you.

Interesting. Did you know that verse well, or did it just pop up. Maybe it had some sort of significance from some other point in your life and you forgot about it. The mind can retain things surprisingly well.

Hey coolbreez...  

No, I can't say that I knew that verse at all.  I had to look it up this morning myself.  What's interesting, however, is that this past Sunday I had crawfish ettoufee.  Not too long after that I was chatting with a fellow Buddhist  friend of mine and joking about vegetarianism and "bugs."

Here's a snippet from my MSN Messenger history just  a few days ago - on Sunday.

[07:25:47 PM] <jk  />: I did have crawfish today though - crawfish
             ettoufee - that in itself kinda makes it a good day
[07:25:56 PM] Bombing for : ewwww
[07:25:57 PM] Bombing for : lol
[07:26:03 PM] <jk  />: oh babe - it's good.. lol
[07:26:07 PM] Bombing for : lol
[07:26:12 PM] Bombing for : i hate hate hate seafood
[07:26:31 PM] <jk  />: as I was taking my first bite I thought about
             vegetarians - and my question was, "Does that mean ya
             can't eat bugs either?"  LOL

If I'm to take this literally then - I guess the answer would be "No  - ya can't eat crawfish."  lol

Would sure hate to give those up though..  I love em....

Jus' following up to myself so that I'll have some record of my interpretation.

I'm wondering if there is somewhere here I can start a dream/practice  log?

Anyway, I believe the cats to be representative of the female aspect (sensual, sleek, charming) but nevertheless capable clawing the heart in a razor fashion  if they feel threatened.  Please don't take that as a generality though.  It comes from an specific experiences to my past so in this case it really only applies to me.  Tis not meant to be a generality.  My heart, in the past, was once metaphorically caught in the middle of a cat fight.

The Boar represents something within myself - related to the ego - that I guess you'd say is a bit difficult to acknowledge.  I'm pretty sure I know what it is as it came to me in a realization experience, and this idea seems to be backed up in the few Dream Interpretation texts I have.

I'm also wondering if somehow I recognized the dream mind and the astral mind (if those are correct terms) simultaneously.  I could have sworn I wrote the Leviticus reference in real life.  At the time I did I was 'aware' of two separately operating states of consciousness.  One I assumed was my waking state, thus - I really expected to find what I'd written at my desk waiting there for me when awaking the next morning  - but of course when I did awake nothing was there.

All for now.  Cheers!   - and if anyone has any Boar repellant please lemme know   lol

Very interesting!  Maybe you were in the RTZ, when you thought you were writing the stuff down?

Not sure about the animals... I know that sometimes they will show up right after you get out of body, just to scare you from exploring..astral wildlife if you will.

I thought about Totem animals, but I couldn't find any reference to Boar or Cats, in my Earth Medicine book.

Then again, you seemed to have figured it out yourself anyways!

"Boar repellant"  LOL..that was good.

Looking forward to hearing more, I enjoying reading your posts.
