The Dream Thread

[Spaced]

I had a very strange and vivid dream last night.

In the dream my family and I went to some kind of forest retreat run by a Native American family way out in the middle of some vast forest. The retreat consisted of a big dormitory style building with a number of outbuildings and a tennis court and a swimming pool with the whole thing surrounded by dense forest. Also there were all kinds of art installations around made out of old cars and scrap metal and the like.

The first thing that happened when we got there was we were greeted by a woman who told us not to go out into the woods at night because they were cursed. It was evening when we arrived so we had a barbecue. Suddenly all these teenagers dressed up like punks showed up and started knocking things over and lighting fires and just generally milling about but we didn't pay them much mind. That night I was sleeping in a room with a big shared bed. All night I couldn't sleep and was tossing and turning and I kept feeling things touching me under the sheets.

The next day I felt completely out of it. We went to go play tennis but I just couldn't hit the ball, I was totally sluggish and my brain seemed to not really be working at all. At one point I dropped my racket and was just trying to slap the ball out of the air with my hands which everyone thought was hilarious. Oh and for some reason we were storing all our tennis balls inside my dog, like we shoved them in his mouth at the beginning of the game and whenever anyone wanted a ball they would reach in and yank one out of there.

After that I was just sort of wandering around in a daze. I found myself sitting in an old broken down schoolbus parked on the lawn with my dog and a couple of those punk teenagers. I looked out the window and saw what looked like an angel walking a dog, the figure let the dog off it's leash and it ran into the bus and I saw that it was my girlfriend's sister's boxer Ludo who died a couple months ago. He ran up to my dog Champ and gave him a big hug and then turned to me and said (in english!) "I'm gonna give you a big hug!" before jumping on me and giving me a big dog hug and saying "I love you!" Then Ludo looked over my shoulder and got upset so I turned just in time to see some shadowy figure dart away from the window that was right behind me. Then we said our goodbyes and Ludo went back to his caretaker.

After that I wandered into some kind of garage where a mechanic woman was fixing a car. I stood there watching her for a while and then I became aware that I was either outside my body watching myself or else seeing a reflection of myself but my face and body were twitching and contorting strangely. Next I remember being in some sort of common room with my family who all seemed worried about me. They were talking about leaving but were worried because night was falling and the didn't want to go through the woods.

I wandered outside and lay down on the ground as night was approaching. I remember thinking that I couldn't sleep in my room last night and that I'd have a better chance outside. The woman who warned us about the curse saw me and stuck her head out of a window and shouted "Don't you remember about the curse?" and then came outside to get me. She brought me to an old woman who seemed to radiate joy and love and a sense of inner excitement. She was burning a leaf and waving the smoke over a sick looking dog using a feather. soon the dog seemed to be feeling better and got up and walked off with it's master and the woman then turned to me and began waving the smoke at me while saying "You Canadians have such an incredible country, but you don't understand it at all." The smoke had a beautiful fragrance and seemed to clear my mind a little. She asked me to show her where I had slept the night before so I brought her to my room. For some reason in my bed there was a man in a military uniform so she told me to lie in the other bed. The woman said that this room was built later and some of the forest's curse still lingered here and that usually they didn't put people in here but that all the other rooms had been full. she examined me and found that I had been bitten by something and had indeed be afflicted by the curse but that she was surprised because most people who had fallen under the curse lost their minds completely and began bleating like goats. The whole time the man in the military uniform was shaking his head and laughing derisively at everything the woman was saying. Now the woman climbed into with me and held me in her arms. This seemed to be too much for the military man who got out of the other bed and said "Hey that's my bed, you two get out of there!" to which I replied (perhaps a little more crudely than I should have) "f*** you, if you didn't want us to lie in this bed you shouldn't have fucking laid down in mine!" which the old woman followed up with "Colonel, you may be rich, but you sure are stupid." This seemed to cow the military man and he hung his head and left the room. The dream ended with the woman holding me in her arms and radiating this warm loving feeling. In my head the words "I love you" kept repeating over and over. As I drifted off to sleep in that world I awoke in this one.

I had a fantastic dream last night (From my perspective at least).

I was shown 'flashbacks' of moving through scenery of the most beautiful vistas and nature landscapes I had ever seen, sort of like moving through animated photographs one by one. In some of these the sky was bright green intermingled with violet, while In others the grass had blue, purple, grey and orange patches. This is a very simplified perspective, as I honestly cannot translate the beauty I saw, and it was certainly not of Earth. In a few of these there were artificial motorway/highway type sea bridges connecting various parts of the landscape, though never any physical constructions that I could discern on the land itself. I was shown foreign names through attempting to recall exactly what they were is proving futile. Thereafter the scene sort of blended into another theme whereby I was taking part in a futuristic VR type game with others with the nearest description I can have is that of Portal 2. I and two others won the game, then the dream ended.

I checked in with my HS and asked after I awoke whether it was an actual physical place that existed and got a 'Yes'. I asked whether it was of this Earth and got a 'No'. I asked for a name of where it was and was given 'Pleiades', and was told it was from a Planet in one of the local systems in that region. I was also told it was a simultaneous incarnation 'bleedthrough'. I get these quite a bit though they are usually much too incoherent and illogical to identify some sort of meaning, and I usually do not get dreams that can be translated like most people here. I did not ask whether it was of the Future or Past from my perception.

There is a strong positive emotional reaction I felt that I cannot quite grasp as of yet. I asked what the dream symbolised and was told 'Hope'.

Had a very similar thing happen to me on Thursday night! It wasn't a dream though, it was during my nightly meditation. I saw a series of strange psychedelic images that flashed past one after the other. Most of them were so completely alien that there was nothing for my mind to really grasp onto but one that stuck out was of a sort of plantlike thing that almost looked like it was made out of metal in front of a purple sky. I asked my guidance what I had been shown and was told it was images of lives on other planets.
