Has anyone done this? - gharghur - 01-17-2010
When I first started meditating, and had very little remembrance of anything, I always had the same vision, journey.
I was in an absolute darkness. After a while a spark of light would appear, and I would grope my way through, what appeared to be, a tunnel. Feeling my way along as the spark of light grew brighter. Finally I would reach an opening and exit into a vibrant wonderful forest scene of wildflowers and trees, with no traces of anyone having been there before. No paths, nothing, not even one broken flower. Right at the edge of the tunnel was a large flat rock.
This year I'm planning to reproduce this scene on earth.
Was wondering if anyone had duplicated meditative visions on this plane, purposely.

I've not had any such experience, but I do like to learn about yours. When you construct that landscape in harmony with your vision, I hope you'll share a picture of it.

Will do that Questioner.
Good idea!

Ive had dreams of something similar. Ive been to it several times. I now recognise I am within distance of thsi garden due to the path that I walk on it to get there. Its a dirt path alined roughly with small rocks on the sides of the narrow path. What is odd is that I feel I know every tree and every plant there and I feel the need to say hello to all of them and touch them...as if I have been away from it for a long long time. At one time, I felt someones presence there...but never saw anyone. Its like I know this place...but have no memory of it.
Just sharing something similar. Sometimes, I even feel like I grew this garden. Like I formed it to be what it is...and I have to return to give it love. This dream is a fairly recent experience, Ive had it several times over the last year. I know mine is a dream...and its not through meditation like yours...but Im not sure the visions between the two ways is that different of sources.
Do you ever have the feeling that you are familiar with this place you go....like something you know...but have forgotten?

I've been to some very beautiful places in nature in meditation...forests and meadows and the like. I've always considered these visions as a truly treasured gift, as they always succeed in moving my soul. It's like someone giving you a beautiful painting, only its in your head.

Repetitive dreams offer guidance. There is a message you are being given. The dreams repeat, to force you to think about them consciously. When you have solved the riddle, get the answer, it stops.
You are correct. There is familiar presence in this dream. You must seek it.
