I would like to know how other people interpret my vision while meditating.
I first see 5 or 6 African (?) men sitting in together outside on a dirt ground and I'm especially noticing this one man that is squatting on one knee and beating small drums or creating rhythm hitting it on the ground.
Then, I came out of my meditative state briefly then went back in following a spinning vortex and I was in a warehouse type building with metal walls.
I was trying to look around to see where I was but i was seeing people hanging from the ceiling (like hams) (yes, I know this sounds crazy lol). I felt like they were alive (maybe on Earth plane) but unconscious in the body at this place. Some had been there for a long time I could tell.
Then, I come out slightly and zone back into this place and I am laying down on an exam table (?) And I know my body has been there unconscious but now I have entered that body to consciousness.
(I was in my body over there and over here, I was fully aware of both realities at the same time, if that makes sense)
I'm laying there and I know my eyes are closed but I can still see through them. I see the figures of the unconscious people suspended either by cordage or rope near the tops of the walls. I did notice one young man that was able to move his forearm as though he was still conscious. I tried to move and I can't. I don't feel scared.
I feel in both bodies here and there someone grabbing ahold my hand. I am able to pull enough energy to to slightly move my fingers ( in both bodies) then I squeeze a little more. I could sense the awareness of the person holding my hand that they knew I was awake and there. There was some joy felt.
Then I see a shadow man no features walk from behind where I was laying and casually move about picking up items here and there. I was curious is to why I was laying there and why was a shadow person there and I wanted to know what he was up to. But I didn't sense his purpose.
I didn't know if he was good or bad but I had this feeling of peacefulness and I had a great desire to show love to him regardless of his intentions. He walked around the foot of my bed and came beside me and stood near the chest of my bed. I was able to get out the words (in both bodies) "We are one- God loves you- You are my brother." My lips could barely move in both bodies but I know he heard me. Then he reached over and placed his hand over my chest. Then I came out of my meditating state..
While I was experiencing this, my body felt like a pressure cooker of energy. I could feel the energy swarming through me from head to toe. My whole body felt like it was vibrating and I know my tongue was actually pulsating against the roof of my mouth.. I was hearing a humming sound like static energy or white noise.. My body felt weightless. Literally I felt like there was nothing underneath me. It felt like I was hovering over my body about an inch or two.
What does this mean! If I'm crazy just tell me
All thoughts appreciated! -Melanie
Interesting and really incredible dream, Melanie.
The scene with the African men reminds me of a vision I had while having a Reike treatment of an African shaman a few years ago. The shaman was all painted up with markings on his face, staring right into my eyes with bright eyes. I felt he was somewhere on the planet or in another dimension sending me healing energy. It was powerful and energizing. Sounds like the African men in your dream were close to the earth (squatting) and beating a drum that reflects the vibration of the earth speaking to us.
It sounds like you were traveling around the earth - connecting to the unconscious slaves, hanging like hams. These feel to me like people who are brain washed and used by others. Perhaps they are those agreeing with oligarch-driven policies that are against their own interest. The Trump supporters who are not oligarchs who support policies that harm them. Putin supporters who are working class people who don't realize how he is ravaging their country. They may also be the parts of us that buy the products, race through our days, tied to technology, and barely alive due to the fast pace that is set by a consumer-driven society.
The people hanging in the warehouse remind me of a movie I saw years ago about people whose bodies were suspended from a warehouse ceiling like hams. They were being kept alive for body parts for wealthy people who might need them. Pretty horrible.
Then there was the shadow man who held your hand and there was you sending love and healing.
Sounds like you are working around the clock even when you are sleeping. Feeling empathy for the people of this world, and sending messages of hope and love.
What a startling vision. Perhaps those people suspended from the ceiling, are like cocoons. Dormant, perhaps growing and developing silently and waiting their time to break free. Perhaps you, in your dream, in your swarm of energy and motivated by love, are waking up.
Melanie, meditative visions are quite personal and you should try to interpret the meaning yourself, because you are in a much better position to understand the content of your subconscious than anyone else.
This said, some symbols are nearly universal, and I can tell you something of their meaning.
Entering meditation in a spinning vortex is very common. Next time it happens, pay attention to what the vortex looks like exactly, it may be illuminating.
The people hanging from the ceiling make me think of bats, or cocoons, or both. Bats are night creatures, while cocoons symbolize transformation. The people may represent hidden things that are soon coming into the light (that's why one of them was starting to wake up).
The shadow man could be one of those secrets, coming to be revealed to you (that's why he put his hand on your heart). I can't tell you what the secret is, but I can tell you are ready for it.
And if you are crazy, we must both be crazy in fairly similar ways. I have had visions of a similar feel to that one. I wouldn't be surprised if you are better than me at getting those kind of visions.
Hi Melanie,
Wow, what an interesting vision. I've been thinking about it a lot and several things resonated with me. The African men, sitting on the ground with one man beating a drum, makes me think of a tribal ritual, a summoning of spirits. And you are part of a spiritual tribe yourself.
The vision of human bodies suspending from the ceiling by cords makes me think of what our human bodies are: vessels for our spirit selves. In our human life, we know our bodies so well from birth until death. The wellbeing of our bodies is uppermost in our consciousness from infancy onward. We look at our fingers and toes, we rejoice in our strength and abilities. As we grow old, we suffer the indignities of failing health, failing bodies. Yet these bodies are not the sum of our existence. The body is the vessel for our spirit, the temple of our being and yet our true inner self is so much more. The spirit outlives the body.
The part of your vision in which you see your own body lying on a table while experiencing yourself as an observer seems like an out of body experience in which you are experiencing two realities at once. You observe the shadow man/entity and are able to express love and unity. That love is key to your vision. To me, this entity feels divine, especially when he touches your heart and you have the electrical jolt as your body is imbued with life and energy. This made me think you were observing and experiencing the moment of reincarnation as your spirit connected with human flesh. We are one. God loves us.
And I think your vision was meant for all of us on the site, who constitute a spiritual tribe. We are one. God loves us.
Many blessings to you, sweet Melanie.
HI Melanie--thanks for sharing your experience during meditation. I am going to just use my imagination and let loose some ideas but they may not resonate with you or your feelings about the meditation so ignore them in that case... I don't have any experience with astral travel but that is what I thought of when I read your description of what happened. The shamanic drumming seems to be to help you on your travel so I would guess that the African drummers were your spirit guides in a form that they thought would comfort you as they helped you go to this warehouse-like location. I think your energy was positive and loving because you had a mission to show the shadow person love. I think the shadow person is a type of technician who prepares the entities hanging from the ceiling for something. I wonder what. It could be that the shadow person lost their ability to see the hanging entities as worthy of love and was treating them like objects and you came to show the shadow person that they, as well as the body of the entity you "borrowed" are worthy of respect and love. This is just my imagination of what may or may not be. I think the warehouse setting suggests that this is not the most loving of places... It depends on you if any of these ideas feel valid to you, like I said I am just guessing at possibilities. Very interesting experience. The energy churning your body suggest a lot of spiritual power, I think you were protected by it.
This is 100% exactly what I felt,. I mean EXACTLY.
Thank you for showing me clarity
Youre right. This is it. Thank You
Melanie, I think you are a very brave person and must have a gift for this type of experience. I wonder if I can make this suggestion: in the beginning of the meditation, picture white light around you for protection. Maybe you don't need it because your spirit guides seem to be very protective, but it can't hurt. I think I would love to hear more of your meditation experiences in the future, if you have more to share later on I would like to hear about them!
