Unk p
I did write some more and I am going to put it music.
Never take your dreams to bed
And leave them hanging in the night
Never blow your candles out
and wish that they were burning bright.
Always hear and do what's said
Never take your dreams to bed.
I often have vivid dreams but I awake from them going "That was fun. No real meaning there." Last night I had the most interesting dream however that I think is something.
In it I'm in a school, but it's not one I've ever worked in before. I'm walking the halls and talking with my first principal, a wonderful woman who died suddenly last summer. We hadn't talked for a few years before her death (you always think you have time to catch back up) and I spent a little time updating her on what was new, what I was worried about (Starting back to work on Tuesday with a new boss) along with some of the crazy things happening in the world.
She reminded me that I'm a fantastic employee and not to worry too much about the new boss even though we're very opposite politically. As for the state of the world she was a little more coy about it but reminded me she's on the other side now and there's lots of energy guiding us. I love her, but between her coyness and my future self's coyness about this particular period of tumultuous energy -- I'm over coyness ?.
It was wonderful and strange all in one. It was really great to see her. I am where I am because she took a chance on me and guided me and it was wonderful to have a conversation with her like old times.
And then this morning I woke up, checked my email, and had a new email from the new boss. One of the ways I wanted my job to shift slightly she's shifting. I'm in a wonderful mood even though she kept saying "See you on Monday" when we start on Tuesday (I triple checked) ?.
@kksali It was a wonderful visit overall. Wish I could place the school! It was familiar but I couldn't place it and it definitely wasn't where we worked together. The other odd thing I remember is we came to a glass door and her key wouldn't work but I opened another door for her. Don't know why that's standing out now, but she was a wonderful lady and I'm glad I got to talk to her again :-)
@dannyboy What a wonderful dream! So reassuring about both your job and the energy helping all from the other side! Really interesting detail about the door and you opening it for her...hmmm...makes you wonder about what that might mean. A connection between the other side's energy and ability to help and our own evolution of intuition (being able to perceive and reach out from our side) here, perhaps?
@cc21 I have been consciously taking a sledgehammer to barriers I put up in my teen years to all things related to intuition this past year, so I'm wondering if it's in line with that - me breaking that barrier down so she could visit more. She probably won't - she has a lot of family who loved her dearly. But coming last night was so wonderful since the stress of the new school year is barreling down on me. Honestly, I'm starting year 20 and I feel like it's year 1 again ???♂️.
@dannyboy So interesting that you have been consciously working on your own barriers to intuition. That does seem significant, for sure. I am betting that her visit is just what you needed with the school year stress hammering you right now. Exciting that you feel so positive about it!
as i read the part of the dream with the glass door i felt - there is a clear path ahead of you and you have the key to it.
wow- isn’t that lovely
my daughter start school on monday as well. We have her open house today. I am cautiously optimistic. Wishing her a clear path forward as well.
@dannyboy I just thought of a question for you -- you mention consciously breaking down barriers to your intuition over the past year. Do you have any recommendations or techniques that have been helpful?
I tend to be very grounded and practical and often get caught up in the day-to-day needs of my family and myself, so I find it hard to actively encourage/engage my intuition. Perhaps I do it in a more subtle way than I realize, but I was curious to know more about what worked for you? Not sure if this is the best thread to post this question in, but wanted to ask before I forgot about it!
@cc21 I'll fess up that in HS I read a lot of books on Wicca with some friends. The neighborhood I grew up in was one where souls were "trapped" for lack of a better word and we worked out a ceremony together to open the light and let them cross over. It worked and it was wonderful -- but -- This attracted some really negative energy that chilled me to my core, and I built a ton of walls to keep what I experienced from happening again. All those books and my tarot cards have been in a box in the basement of whatever house I was living in ever since.
About 3 years ago when Calm was offering the Calm Schools program (lifetime premium subscription for free - they've since changed their offering) I got into mindfulness meditations. Between lurking on this forum, practicing Calm meditations on the regular I got up the guts to get my tarot cards back out again. And more recently (the past year or so) i've used some of Jeanne's stuff and other stuff to get back into taking mindfulness further. Some days are easier than others. The Calm app helps center me, and some of the stuff I practice with on YouTube and again via Jeanne have helped me walk down the path a little more.
A colleague who is into intuition as well was over at my house on my birthday and said the land we live on, particularly these two really large trees (one of which my wife wants down because of how big it is and how close to our bedroom is) is/are extremely powerful and she wants to run some past life regressions with me. Unfortunately she's a Superintendent at a local district and has no time ever, but she reinforced what I've felt since we moved here - this land wanted us and this land fiercely protects us. All of that has helped give me the confidence to explore further.
I think this next school year is going to require a lot of "Calm" and a lot more exploration. I have been unable to make circle of light and it sounds like that's ending (hopefully just for a little while @Jeanne-Mayell!) but my life goal is to make a read the future night and see if I can keep taking that sledge hammer to things.
I'm no @Baba but maybe someday :-)
@dannyboy Wow! Thank you so much for sharing details of your journey. I appreciate that. I can see why you had built up a lot of walls for protection (scary stuff.)
I love hearing about how your land and those trees are protective. I hope you are able to get some time with your colleague to maybe shed some light on that aspect.
I have the Calm app! I haven't used it much, though it sounds like a great way to get into that mindfulness mindset. I find that I don't practice consistently and so have not made as much progress as I had hoped yet (life gets in the way sometimes, as we all know and experience...) I do love Tarot and find that is a really concrete tool for me to access intuition. I guess the key it to keep plugging away and look for those breakthrough moments (go sledge hammer!)
We can all aspire to be @baba :)
Thank you for the kind mentions @dannyboy and @cc21 . I only started doing this a few years ago after getting up the courage to join a read the future night and it happened to coincide with beginning regular meditation. I just made a point of recording whatever came to me during the meditations. I’m sure everyone has their own way of tapping into intuition. I use tarot cards on occasion, but do not always understand what they are telling me. Sometimes it works for me and sometimes it doesn’t. Just try different things and see what works for you and at the right time, it will!
Hello. I had a dream yesterday morning I can't really remember. I can only remember the message I got as I was waking up from it because the message was so clear. I am going to put it into my own words but the message was given to me by feeling and a few images and a song... The message was basically something like, "Separation is the path of madness, Oneness is truth"
The song is the only part I can clearly remember, it was "Crazy Train" by Ozzy Osbourne...
"Crazy, but that's how it goes
Millions of people living as foes
Maybe it's not too late
To learn how to love and forget how to hate"
The website Songfacts.com (Crazy Train by Ozzy Osbourne - Songfacts) elaborates further:
--While many believe that this is yet another Ozzy song about insanity, it's actually about the Cold War. Evidence in the lyrics: "Millions of people living as foes," "One person conditioned to rule and control; The media sells it and you live the role," "Heirs of a cold war, that's what we've become. Inheriting troubles I'm mentally numb." The relevant acronym was "M.A.D." (Mutually Assured Destruction), a doctrine which basically amounts to "if they shoot their nukes at us, we'll shoot ours right back, and that would be the end of the world that nobody wants, so it won't happen... as long as we keep pointing nukes at each other." Hence, "crazy" is another word for "mad."
I thought about it and it seemed to me that it was partially a message to me personally to understand that this is an undisputed truth. I felt the complete and utter finality of its truth in the feelings and image that came to me...but I can't remember the image now...the song just completed the idea. The feeling from the dream as I was waking was some people were upset and wanted to do violence to a young man...and it felt to me like crazyness...chaos...like those humans were lost in their hatred and fully vested in the idea of separation, vilification, revenge, etc.
The image seemed like white light seen in some way...can't remember...maybe it came at me too fast.
Maybe the human race has to choose a path towards Oneness in the future to survive. Maybe the global warming, viral pandemic and more are coming to force us to choose the path of truth over the path of ego.
Another wicked round of vivid dreams last night.
For some reason I was living on Mars, though it looked a lot like the area we’d spend our summers on the lake. I wasn’t allowed to take my helmet off because we were still terraforming and the air wasn’t breathable yet, but I was really getting antsy to give breathe without it.
It became okay - I was in the clear, when my brother in law drove (Yes, I know I was living on a different planet) to visit me for the weekend (yes, I also know you need a rocket ship to get there) We both went without our helmets and enjoyed a great day walking around and exploring.
I also found a sharp, rusted, red screw on the ground while we were out there and picked it up, wondering how it got there and how it got rusted.
I thought about this all day and had an epiphany about the meaning just moments ago. Ive gone literal with the translation but anyone can weigh in (or not - just helpful to post it out)
Mars/breathing - I’m really over masking but I think my higher self is telling me I’ve got an exposure point coming so continue to mask. This makes sense as I’m back at work and will be back in schools doing my thing shortly. I’ll have to wait for a visit from my brother in law to know I’ve avoided it.
The interesting part was on my way to my car this morning, I opened the garage door and right there in the path of the tire was a sharp, rusted red screw. It was EXACTLY what I saw in my dream.
Well played universe. Well played.
@dannyboy it sounds like you need to be VERY careful about masking and stuff.
And this is OT, but, you haven't shared any limericks with us in months. Do you still love us??
@unk-p - I agree and will be very vigilant on masking during my next Professional Learning training
My amazingly good dear friend Unk
Had found himself in quite a bad funk
He waited for Danny
to get off his fanny
And with that, I drop rhymes, ker-PLUNK!
Just remember, you did this to yourself.
I've been staying off of a lot of groups lately, but I just had to share this with you all. I woke up so emotional, and found myself in tears when telling my daughter, and you all were the only people I knew would understand!
A few nights ago, I dreamt I was in a building that was very much like a large, ornate, old-school city courthouse. There was an eating space, which felt equally like a cafeteria and a restaurant, on an upper floor, with four-person tables in a grid. As I was walking out, I noticed my grandpa sitting at one of the tables, wearing his blazer and tie, and smiling with so much kindness and warmth. (Backstory: my grandpa was a lawyer and politician, which probably explains the courthouse environment.) I saw him, and excitedly went to his table and said, "(My daughter) is here ... I need to go get her for you!" I then ran to the other side of the room and got my daughter, and brought her to his table so he could see her and talk to her. Soon, my daughter said she had to go, and my grandpa said he also had to go, and my daughter walked toward the elevators.
As I walked from my grandpa's table, there was my grandma at another table, wearing a blue blazer, blouse, and her usual sweet smile. I told her to hold on, I would get my daughter, and ran to the elevator lobby, yelling her name. She came around the corner and I told her my grandma was here, too, and wanted to meet her. We walked back to my grandma's table, and she got emotional, talking to my daughter. They both, then, said it was time to go, and I woke up.
I lost both of my grandparents years ago ... my grandpa, just after I had a miscarriage and a few months before becoming pregnant again, with my daughter. Her first name is in honor of him. My grandma passed a few years later. She got to "meet" my daughter, but had already declined to Alzheimer's. This dream truly felt like they were both with me, and were telling me they have had the chance to "meet" my daughter, who would have adored them, and they, her.
It felt so real ... such an odd experience. Is this how you feel when you connect to something more Beyond? Amazing! And how lucky!
