I had a VERY disturbing Nightmare and I sincerely hope that it's

[Ecumenist]

was the side effect of the horrors being perpetrated on the world by the criminals at the helm of our government and their gangster wannabe affiliates throughout the world. I woke up from this dream with a racing heart and genuine, palpable fear and laid in bed for 30 minutes upon awakening, thinking about the dream and making sure I burned the memories into my mind...

I dreamt that I was teaching piano to children in my area at a clubhouse in the neighborhood park where I live. There was a lady who, I presume, was the director of the facility. It was in the fall of the year and this lady wanted to take a trip up the coast, although I have to admit, I don't know why. It had to be a sunday because I was playing for a church service and I even remembered the hymn I was playing. There were young children who were my students milling about, mostly little girls under the age of 6. It also must have been a holiday because there were celebrations all around.

Let me interject here that I was accompanied AT ALL TIMES by an ash white/gray white Great Dane with black spots on it's flanks. He kept barking at me and staring intently at me, as if I was supposed to understand what he was trying to say. Every time the scene changed, it he would bark and stare intently into my eyes, as if I were supposed to understand something he was trying to say, which I never did.



My favourite brother, Adam was in the dream as well and he was going on this trip as well. He was packing an overnight bag and we were chatting about the upcoming trip. Somehow, the director and I ended up on the road trip because we'd forgotten or hadn't noticed that Adam wasn't in the car. We were laughing and chatting for about an hour. We finally realised that he wasn't with us when I asked a question of Adam and there was no answer. We turned around and I called him to let him know that we were on our way. By the time we got back, it'd gotten VERY dark and foggy, so we'd decided to leave out early the next morning. We went back to my house and settled in for a meal and little tv.

We'd turned on the television and the news was on, it was about 6 in the evening. All of a sudden, there was a breaking news prompt and there was a report of some sort of new weapon that was being used against a crown of demonstrators. It was a weapon that used sound waves that caused the body to heat up to the point of EXTREME pain. It was clear that the people who were using the the weapons were governmental forces, although I can't honestly say that they were American forces. I can tell you that the folks wielding the weapons were dressed in what appeared to be silvery metal "armor", head to toe. They had helmets that that looked like oversized football helmets with a "viewing slit" that ran all the way across the eye area of the facial portion of the headgear. EVERYTHING else was completely covered. These weapons looked like oversized rifles, with what looked like a barrel that was at least 5 inches in diameter and instead of a normal opening, there was a grill or screen over the opening. I don't know what they were made of because they looked like they were made of a weird plastic sort of material.

When the weapons were fired, you could see what looked like vertical waves coming out of the end of this weapon and when they made contact with the victims, that portion of their skin would IMMEDIATELY
look scalded and they would fall to the ground, writhing in pain, followed by becoming VIOLENTLY ill.
The reporter was commenting that commenting that what was happening was totally uncalled for as the protesters were peaceful and orderly. It was evident that the reporter was horrified and was saying that the scene was the reason that what why all the destruction was happening. He showed another scene where there was another instance of other people being fired upon but this time, a man who who was frantic and angry, dressed in a disheveled suit, stepped forward from the main body of the protesters and screamed, "enough is enough!" He then put up his right arm, as if he was going to tackle the "soldiers" and somehow, was able to reflect the waves back at the forces.

Somehow, it went awry and "caused a feedback in the weapons". All of a sudden, there was what looked like, for all the world, 3 nuclear detonations directly behind the line of soldiers but they took place all on the the exact same spot with each successive one higher up in the sky and larger in magnitude. The reporter was saying that the force of the explosions had opened up a crack in the crust of the earth itself that was quickly widening and spreading. It was then that we could see a TSUNAMI sized wave of red hot lava.

The most frightening thing was that he was crying and saying that more people should have listened to the plea to stop the pursuit of money at the expense of life, peace and understanding. He then swung his camera to show the lava wave and the people who were literally being killed by the melting world and trappings of civilisation all around them. We then felt a rumbling and ran out to look . On the horizon, to the north/northeast, was a VERY definite red glow. It seemed as if I was suddenly at the scene with the panicked reporter. He looked at me, as we flew over the bubbling and boiling land beneath us and said just as clear as you please, "This is what happened to Atlantis and Mu, other nations that predate Atlantis by hud reds of thousands of years. When will you learn?"
I was then able to see the same sweet little girls running from a roil of brilliantly scarlet hot buildings and sickened when they tripped and fell or became paralysed with fear with eyes the size of saucepans and the mouths open in a silent screams. They were quickly engulfed by this liquid buildings and stones. The most horrifying thing is that for a short period of time, they would emerge from the liquid flames still alive but EXACTLY the same colour of the molten rock. I watched as a mother tried to pull her engulfed daughter out of the lava that both were in. When they finally succumbed, I awake with a start, a racing pulse and honestly terrified. Just before opening my eyes and leaving the dream, I heard a voice say, "You can stop them this time. You can't afford not too." The Great Dane barked 3 times and I woke up.


I laid there for at least 30 minutes revisiting the dream, determined to remember. I would appreciate any input.

1. Yikes! That is some dream...

let me reflect on it a bit.

Right off I feel it addresses symbolically what the government and the misuse of power is leading to...

The "microwave weapons" being used against demonstrators is already a published possibility. The events following that are some kind of meltdown!

[MissWaverly]

2. We must pray now

I have had dreams not on the levels of yours but that we are being weighed in the balance,
we must continue to do good and try to help others, the ones that have pursued evil will go
down but the good will not. That does not mean that many innocent and good people have
not suffered and died in the last 6 years. But I believe that those who have perpetrated
great evil will be punished for what they have done. I have not seen a nuclear event, I
do not believe there will be a world war but there is not going to be a rapture either,
our problems will be ours to solve.

[BlueIris]

5. "...but there is not going to be a rapture either..."

Yup. This is exactly what I have sensed, too, Miss Waverly. Well, except for the "no nuclear event" part. I think we've got about thirteen years to try to head that off, but...it's going to be close.

[MissWaverly]

7. America is not going to implode

I sense that the inherent goodness of America will prevail, the sharing, kindness, teamwork
and general can-do-it attitude of the American people. The real America is not greedy,
we didn't go into World War II, Korea or Vietnam to make a buck. Thanks, Blue Iris, I agree
that we will have a real mess with global warming issues but this country will be able to
tackle it, we can do it. We need to pray for better leaders to help us do what we need
to do to move forward.

[BlueIris]

8. Oh, I didn't mean the event was likely to take place in America.

I'm one of those who thinks the astro analysis of the potential India-Pakistan-Russia nucular war in 2020/21 is solid. Especially when you look at the transits under which Cheney basically kicked off a new arms race between India and Pakistan during late '05/early '06.

[MissWaverly]

9. Blue Iris, there is much to be said for prayer

we can change destiny by praying, we must turn the negative into positive. If we can
get America turned around; we can have a say in the diplomacy to make the UN work again.
I saw your post in another thread about things going your way, I believe that is from
a state of grace. You are in balance and things move forward in a positive way. Keep
doing kindness even to tree frogs.

:-)

[BlueIris]

11. I pray a lot and I'm sure I will continue.

Kindness is the new "status" for me. Hopefully, it will remain that way.

[MissWaverly]

13. you will find kindness flows like a river

you will see, it works.

3. What a stressful and detailed dream!!!

Something strange is definitely in the air. My 14 year old son has been telling me about his nightly dreams that the world is being blown up, and this morning, he said he just has this overall uneasy feeling that something horrible is about to happen. He's never shown signs of spiritual abilities before; he just keep feeling something very strong and unsettling.

Of course, watching Bush falling apart in front of the cameras lately, making a complete ass out of himself, concerns me. Their desperation is getting harder to disguise. How far will they go in that desperation? The good news is knowing what an incredible source of light actually exists that will protect and serve what's most important in these crazy times. I'm trying hard to focus on the light and not be afraid... but I'm human and that's a hard thing to do.

[Why Syzygy]

4. I have a lot of confidence

and reassurance that the end of their days of destruction are near. Something horrible has already happened. I wrote a post tonight that I felt was inspired, calling for action from a different direction.
And have been feeling a calling for the past few days to concentrate on the end of this disaster.

I'm sorry your son has to endure. There is a brighter side coming soon.

[Proud_Lefty]

14. What post are you referring to?

The one you say you were inspired to write.

[Why Syzygy]

17. ~blush~

Maybe "inspired" is a stronger word than I should have chosen.
While reading posts in GD that night, and for the past several days, I have just been feeling a conviction in my gut growing stronger and stronger that GW and the neocons are not going to get away with all their crimes and that we won't have to suffer under their rule for much longer. The irrationality of it all cannot hold up.

The exact thing was this > "Bush wants permission to deny freedoms, while he hoots "freedom". He wants a war against "Terror", while he seeks permission to torture (terrorize) according to his law."

I admit that doesn't sound "inspired". I've just been around and studied metaphysics and acquainted myself with natural law long enough to realize that this kind of treachery cannot endure. Most of us are our own worst enemies and set our own traps. I have seen this over and over in people's lives, mine included. The neocons cannot escape this. They sow the seeds of their own downfall. The end result of sowing is always harvest.

[Proud_Lefty]

18. Wow, I was saying the same exact thing just last night

When I was watching Olbermann the other night, it became so apparent the Bush/Cheney/Rove/Rumsfeld, etc. team has finally backed themselves into a corner on this torture deal with the NSA deal pushing a little harder and the Plame deal pushing even harder. For the first time, it seemed their strong arm methods against congress and the press isn't protecting them like it used to. I realized that everything Matthew and others like him have been telling us is now surfacing as promised it would. Bush looks like he's about ready to completely lose it and his stuttering speech only gets more and more embarrassing. I watched Cheney a few weeks ago on MTP to see if he still appears intact. Sometimes I try to study his behavior to understand how anyone can be that evil and distorted can continually display so much self confidence and arrogance. He was completely out of touch with reality, but of course that may be nothing really new with him. But it does seem like a huge shift has occurred. With these desperate madmen capable of anything running our country, I can completely understand the foundation of Ecumenist's and others' dreams. We watch them grow so deranged and desperate that what happened in her dream seems so probable.

While it can seem unsettling at this time, I know their time seems to rapidly be coming to an end. We all have to continually focus on the light and not the fear.

[Why Syzygy]

20. Yes and .

to date no evil empire has successfully taken over the rule of the world, as these creeps have planned to do. Many have tried. All have failed. There is the extreme right so-called Christian movement that believes we will be handed over to an evil despot who can rule the entire world and have everyone worshiping at his feet. I think not. The legendary "wisest man to ever live", King Solomon wrote, "unto everything there is a season". That means nothing stays the same. The fruit will produce.

I'm looking forward to the day GW falls down for the last time. He is so good at it. But I had an encounter this morning with someone who is still sold down the river on how great Bush is. There will always be those few.

edit ps: I posted that sentiment on a couple of different venues that night, because it did seem inspired. I know that when I feel inspired, it means I'm not the only one. Others are feeling the same. Universal consciousness.

Oh and another thing that struck me is that our deliverance may very well come from the military community. They are bound by duty to protect US, not the thief. Interesting that the three Repubs who have blocked GW's current thrust for public acceptance of torture and robbing freedom are all noted for their military service. hmm?

[DemExpat]

6. I have had similar dreams in the past - nothing lately.

But I will say that this feeling I have of utter DREAD about the future of our planet and of mankind is really hanging around me a lot in the past few days.

I look outside myself and within, and see dwindling positives to focus on. Let me be clear that I do NOT feel the depression that I suffered from in my 20s and early 30s - this is a more a "state-of-the-world and man's- collective- conscious" feeling of dread and horror.

Underneath I have some kind of knowing that the earth will survive, our souls will survive, but my optimism for our present day world is at an all time low for me right now.:cry:


This dream symbolizes my feelings very well. Even the dog - for I feel that animals offer an answer in their authenticity and instinct.

I would be interested in how you interpret the line about doing something about it this time!


DemEx

[lildreamer316]

10. OH wow.

Just....wow.
I don't know what to add except to say that I hope most of that was a metaphor. eeeek. And to offer you what comfort I can.
I'll be interested to see what others will have to say on this.

[stellanoir]

12. Wows Ecu

Just wows.

Obviously, this is what I find truly hopeful and the most significant.

""You can stop them this time. You can't afford not too." "

For reasons that transcend logical or linear thought. I really believe the onus is on each and every one of us.

Of course my approach involves enivisioning the earth bathed in violet-purple light and figuring 8, as well as my 17 other tricks but not to high jack your dream thread.

These sorts of dreams certain sensitives often have and I truly believe in doing so we are transmuting the worst fears of the collective unconscious and varying consciousness.

Maybe try the Raymo (my son's) prayer before you slumber. He composed this when he was about four years old. Kids often hit a nightmare phase around that age. It's a bit dualistic but still cool IMH(and totally unbiased)O.

"God and Goddess thank you for all the good things in my life. Please allow me to sleep deeply and soundly and have good dreams or no dreams at all. And also allow me to wake up refreshed and restored and have a good day tomorrow, a good day, and a really, really good day."

I thought the OTT triple emphasis on the "good day" pending was really adorable. Too cute.

[Marie26]

15. Weird

I had a similar dream a couple days ago. There were two columns of armed soldier-types - except they also didn't look like US soldiers. They had full body armor, & big helmets w/a slit across the eyes, and they carried weapons that looked like oversized water guns. They marched toward me from either side, surrounding me, & then I woke up. I honestly have no idea what this means. But your nightmare sounds especially frightening. Sorry, I wish I could offer more input. Maybe the reporter, and the man stopping the rays, and the Great Dane, are all representations of your wanting to stop the negative path of the country?

[Ecumenist]

16. Oh My God, Marie...

You described the soldiers appearances to a tee and gave a better description of the weapons. That's the best way to describe them... OMG!! Can you remember what day you had the dream exactly?

[Marie26]

19. I think it was

Thursday night - I thought that it was an odd thing to dream about, then mostly forgot it until I saw your post. The similarity is just uncanny. The weapons looked sort of like those Super-Soaker water guns, except black. "Robocop" is the best word to describe the soldiers. I wish I could remember more - and I really hope that this isn't some sort of premonition. Maybe it's just our collective uneasiness about the war?

ETA: Since I'm dreaming about "Robocops", I just googled the movie - the movie is actually about a "corporate police state" government. "A Corporate police state is a pejorative term for the kind of transnational system of government that transcends geographic boundaries to regulate the conduct of employees, outsource contractors and markets, via a form of business practices known as vertical integration. Corporate police states combine an economy based on private enterprise, especially large business corporations, with a repressive and authoritarian government. It is envisioned that a corporate police state could manifest itself in a kind of modern feudalism, or, in combination with sufficient nationalism and strong state power, could turn into a variant of fascism.

This form of government would use that power to enact laws which maximize corporate profits without regard for personal liberty. The 1973-90 Augusto Pinochet regime in Chile is thought by many to be an example.

Movies: Aliens, RoboCop, THX1138, Fahrenheit 451 (1966 film)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporate_police_state

Maybe this is what we are really afraid of?

[Ecumenist]

22. Oh my Dear Lord...

That's exactly the night I had this dream. Maybe we're being warned ahead of time to start something, a movement of some sort perhaps, to stop it.

The next night, I dreamt of stocking a shop similar to a dollar store with packages of fabulous gems, precious metals and jewelry. THe thing was that these things were not behind locked cabinets or behind glass countertops--They were in the same kind of packaging you see cheap socks, small toys and other kinds of things you see in a dollar store hanging throughout the store on the hooks and tossed in bins. The thing that I remember themost is that for whatever reason, there was ALOT of Citrine in combination with diamonds set into white metals, ie, Rhodium, Silver, platinum etc.

I have to wonder what this means...

[Marie26]

27. That dream sounds

much nicer - maybe citrine and diamonds have some symbolic meaning? It seems very purifying. I hope I didn't make you feel more worried w/my post - I'm not worried. :) The message of your dream seems very hopeful, ultimately. I like the poster's interpretation below about how the dream represents a sense of collective outrage. That one man standing up & saying "no" can spark a wave of outrage that sweeps the country. That one person can make a difference, just like the reporter said at the end. That maybe you, and I, and everyone in this country is helping to create that change. You can almost feel that energy building, and I think it's a positive change.

[Helga Scow Stern]

21. This is encouraging....

This meltdown of the ground on which we stand what is necessary for people to get real and face up to what the Thugs have in store.

I see the images in your dream as having more to do with the changes that come from collective outrage. The little girls who have been learning to play the piano -- the current tune of the collective -- succumbing to the meltdown, while a devastating image to behold, I think of as symbolic. The future as we currently see it, represented by these little girls, will not hold.

Scary, but encouraging that it is one man's outrage and courage that starts the nuclear reactions, three of them, on all three levels, melting the ground so the underlying rage at the situation comes like a tsunami. The dream, even without the encouraging words at the end, shows that they can and will be stopped by collective and ancestral, the forces below the ground, outrage.

[Ino]

24. I like this interpretation, Ojai Person!

[Ino]

23. Wow!

What a dream!

Here are some random thoughts I had about your epic nightmare.

Very religious -- Sunday, church service, hymns

Adam -- the name of the First Man -- Bush is the First Man (like Laura is First Lady) -- You were happily going on with life (the trip) with purpose (the Director) and he (Adam/Bush) was missing (Florida to New York on 9/11?). You had to go back (retreat), and now everything is dark & foggy.

Great Dane -- "God is great." Dog is God spelled backwards. God trying to tell you something. God is always with you, just like the dog was.

#3 -- three explosions, three barks, three lands destroyed (Atlantis, Mu, present world), WWI & WWII & now WWIII? -- very powerful number -- the Trinity, triangle is the strongest shape, three stolen elections, mothers counting "one, two, three" when warning a child to stop being naughty, "1-2-3 Go!"

Man putting up his right arm to reflect the "waves" -- God smoting with righteous anger, Moses parting the Red Sea, there was a backlash

The dream showed you a possibility, not a reality, as the voice said "You CAN stop them THIS time." Sounds very hopeful. Stop them from what? Destroying the world with war, firing on innocent protestors, microwave weapons, nuclear detonations, terrorism? Stop them THIS time -- from doing something they've done before?

Reporter -- compassionate, showing the truth, telling you the history, telling you why

I've heard that destruction in a dream signifies change.

What is your gut telling you it means, Ecumenist?

Enough is enough, indeed! We have to stop BushCo! That's what it means to me, anyway :)

[Ecumenist]

25. First of all, Ino

I want to welcome you to DU, right glad to have ya here...:hi:
I NEVER caught the 3 theme throughout the dream until you pointed it out. It should have been obvious BUT although I am OFTENTIMES sent prophetic dreams, I have a THICK head when it comes to interpreting what they mean...
I did have an inkling that the fact that the person that was an important part of this dream what my brother Adam who was supposed to accompany us on that trip up the northcoast of California and didn't realise that he wasn't there until I asked him a question and heard a deep and profound silence. HMMM...

You know, I think you've you hit something. I was so disturbed by this dream that I asked for something calming and the next night, I was given that dream of stocking the equivalent of a dollar store with precious gems, jewels and white precious metals, ie rhodium, platinum, silver. They were stocked the same way yo've seen things stocked in a typical dollar store and packaged in REAL CHEAP PACKAGING and placed on those hooked holders that are so common in such stores for diplaying merchandise. I found that the emphasis was on Citrines.. I thought about what they could signify as the stone of the month I was born into is a garnet and the zodiac sign is an amethyst.

[Ino]

26. Another wow!

http://www.crystalsandjewelry.com/metaphysical_healing/stoneinfo/citrine.html

Citrine dissipates negative energies of all kinds. It also does not absorb any negative energies from its surroundings, and thus never needs energentic clearing. Citrine can be used to clear unwanted energies from the environment. Family issues caused by negative energies can also be resolved and cleared with citrine. Since citrine eliminates negative energies, it helps generate stability in all areas, and is good for general protection.

In the mental area, citrine enhances mental clarity, confidence, and will power. It also increases creativity and promotes honesty.

Emotionally, citrine relieves depression, self-doubt, anger, and irrational mood swings. Citrine is a stone that brings happiness and cheer to one who carries or wears it. Citrine also reduces self-destructive tendencies. Citrine helps eliminate fears caused by others' ideas and suggestions. It can help one overcome emotional traumas and grief. Sensuality and sexuality can also be heightened by citrine.

In the psychic and spiritual realms, citrine is good for general psychic awareness and spiritual development. Citrine clears the aura of negative energies and influences. It is also very useful for meditation. Citrine is a stone of protection, removing or deflecting negative energies of all kinds. It is also excellent for dream recall and dream work.

Sounds like Citrine is just what was needed to clear away the negative energy of the nightmare! I wonder about the dollar store/cheap packaging. Everything we consider precious & dear is being cheapened? Or it's available to everyone, not just the privileged few, if only we knew where to look for it.

Your dreams are fascinating.

Thanks for the welcome! :hi:

[jokerman93]

28. In 1996

In 1996 I had a dream/vision with a similar kind of intensity and reality as the one you just had. It concerned a huge ball of fire - maybe a comet. There were also mystical features to the dream like yours. At the beginning of the dream we consulted the I Ching, and a hexagram that had never been seen before came up. We knew the entire planet was about to be destroyed. Some of us were in the upper room of a house and we lay down and prepared for the end. I decided to go out and see it. As the comet entered the atmosphere, the sky caught on fire and I began to run toward the fire ball as if to meet it as it moved toward the planet. The end came with an unimaginable bone-shattering shock and I woke up in a similar condition to the one you woke with. It took me literally more than a minute to figure out where/who I was, but it took longer - almost a half hour to shake off the immediacy of having experienced the destruction of an entire world.

I think at times, for whatever reason, we can come into a particular lucidity in our dream travels and move into areas of the collective psyche where archetypal racial or planetary constructs exist in potentia. Events in time assume their character by drawing their structure and emblematic features from these pre-existing archaic forms. I don't think it's a matter of prophesy, as much as a glimpse of the titanic forces and constellated experiences that exist in a dynamic state outside normal time - in our collective psyche - the world soul if you will. I think these kinds of dreams are far more symbolic than normal dreams, and are frequently regarded in shamanic traditions as visitations of "God" - frequently bearing a message of some kind. These interior archetypes are known to have independent consciousness and intelligence in ways that can be very counter-intuitive. Interesting that the "dog" was trying to tell you something. (Is dog a god???) The strange logic of these deeper worlds allow for meanings and messages to emerge like that in the forms of word play, puns, juxtapositions, and even jokes. Hence, the trickster element often associated with the realm of dreams.

Why not do an active imagination exercise? Go back into that place and have a sit-down with that dog. He seems to be one of the centers of the dream. You might be able to make contact with this particular archetype and get some communication going. I'd be interested to hear about what you come away with from that, as far as a message is concerned. if you felt like sharing it, of course.
