Living Life in Between

Since my dream last night involved hearing binaural beats which then led me to a lucid state, I decided to try one this afternoon. I must say the experience intrigued me. I downloaded an MP3 of free binaural beats from a website and then put it on my ipod to listen to. I found a comfortable place, laid on my back and closed my eyes. At first I thought it just sounded weird but it was bearable. The sounds did not distract me but seemed to lull me into a bit of a zoned-out state. I think that is the point, though. The sounds eventually lulled me into a semi-lucid dream. I say semi-lucid dream because I was aware that I was talking with someone and was following their story. A young man was telling me how, as a boy, he witnessed a murder and I can still see the picture vividly in my mind of this young, sandy-haired boy hiding near a doorway and watching as a strange man crept into his living space. I  also heard him as an older man, telling me the story. I did not finish seeing ...

I was a bit shocked this morning when I awakened from a dream only to find myself in another dream. When I finally really woke up I was a bit disoriented and still talking with one of my guides. In my mind (as I seemed split between the dream state and the conscious state) my guide was sitting on the edge of the side of a building that was an adobe orange in color with his legs dangling over the side. He invited me to sit down next to him, which I did. I remember feeling my legs dangling over the side and looking out on a magnificent mountain landscape, similar to what I saw when I visited New Mexico. I remebember saying to him in awe, "I'm not afraid!". (I experienced a great fear of falling over the side of the cliff when in NM). Then, as if to answer me, I recalled the night's activities all at once and was a bit overwhelmed as I tried to piece together the confusion of a lucid dream experience superimposed within a less lucid dream experience.It is as follows: ...

Carnelian Agate Stone Good morning! I awoke feeling a bit on the depressed side again, but am working on making this a good day. Besides, in my dream I had a message that suggests I will be getting a phone call around 11:20am. In the dream, I heard the phone ringing but couldn't find it because I couldn't see. When I found it, it was my camera and I saw numbers on it that said 11:20a.m., sort of like a digital clock. Apparently I am concerned that I will "miss" an   opportunity because in the dream I missed the call and had to look to see if I got a message. Today when I went through my morning computer routine, I noticed that some people were not so happy that I was posting Reiki symbols on the internet for all to see. I wanted to explain to those of you who may be concerned about symbols being broadcast on the internet that I do not believe that use of Reiki symbols by untrained individuals is going to wreak havoc in the world. In fact, the symbols are just ...

First off, I wanted to thank all of you who have shown your concern and support by sending me emails via Facebook or my Yahoo account. I am so very proud to have you as friends! Your concern and love was very much felt and came at just the right moment to remind me that I am loved. So often I get caught up in myself, in my own emotions and turmoil, that I feel isolated and alone. This feeling can overwhelm anyone and is a trap I often fall into. I am such an introvert, which is not always a bad thing except that I also tend to be a pessimist. However, we introverts can become too introverted and retreat so deeply within ourselves that we lose sight of what is important. When I receive emails of concerns from those of you who truly care about me, it helps me extrovert some and pull out of my internal world. Though my internal world is comforting and can be helpful, it can also drag me down into despair if I stay there too long, inundating me with worrisome thoughts and negativity. So ...

Running in circles. That is what I did in my dreams last night. I had on flip-flops and had a blanket over my head. I remember running past all these people. Some younger people were staring, laughing and talking about me and how I appeared. I heard them but didn't care. I was running so fast that I remember passing by everyone. At one point I was running in the opposite direction, facing the young hecklers head on. In the center of the circular track I was running on was a tall bookshelf filled with books. This shelf also was on the outside of the track, all around except for where the entrance was. The books were there and I recall losing my blanket and finding it folded up neatly on the outlying shelf. I also remember a young man watching me from the sidelines. He was tall, had short, light brown hair and facial hair. He was good looking. I remember that he listened as the younger people laughed and snickered at my appearance. As I ran around this circular track I recall see...

I just got back from a road trip to New Mexico with my husband. It was good to get away from my home and responsibilities for a while. This was the first trip for me and my husband since I was pregnant with my son. We both needed a vacation. We spent two days driving and two days in New Mexico. We went deep into the mountains to a place called Apache Creek. This was where my husband grew up. I was told it was a "town" but it only really consisted of a store that was positioned at the intersection of two roads. Apparently "towns" like this are common in the area. The first day in this town we did quite a bit of hiking and roaming about the land where my husband played as a child. We visited the site of his old house, spoke with the new owners and hiked to the top of a mesa. On top of the mesa was his father's grave. It was a somber and quiet hike. I let my husband have his distance. I knew he was going through a lot of emotions and I felt them. I also think I...

When I awoke this morning I immediately was aware of a very, strong male presence to my left and somewhat to the front of me. I got the distinct impression that he was wearing a robe or some similar flowing article of clothing. I also got the impression that he was either carrying something or had a blob on his right side that covered the length of his body. I was comfortable with this male figure, talking with him as I awoke from some crazy strange and vivid dreams. I assume he is a guide. Before I get to the conversation we had, I want to recount a long list of dreams I had. They are quite vivid and so I want to account as many details as I can before my memory fades. So you all know, this blog is not specifically a "dream blog" by any means, it just so happens that I am feeling drawn to share my dreams for not only myself but also others. Dr.'s Office I nearly forgot this dream but it came to me as I tried to make sense of my busy night and the presence of one of...
