Most trippy dream ever, during full moon in Libra earlier this month, after a bbq.
So much to describe, but the gist of it was this:
Our body is a vessel for channeling feelings. These feelings pass through, depending on the alignment or configuration with other bodies. Communication does not happen through what we commonly call language primarily. It occurs in the way we place ourselves in relation to one another, in space.
I was at a mansion which kept a huge chapel in its basement. The service was not dedicated to some mass we are familiar with, but I sensed that it was some primordial faith which lay at the root of the world’s religions. Or it may have been a mysterious recombination of those, in some unknown language.
I remember asking one of the many attendees: “Won’t it be dangerous to …?”
The person looked at me with a smile, while onlookers paid attention. I rephrased: “Well, won’t it be a challenge to … ?”
Can't help but notice the "primordial" theme, primordial faith before religion, primordial communication (communion?) before language. It all feels very *real*, in touch with the deep reality. Do you normally practice any kind of dreamwork or was this like a one-off experience?
Thank you for this food for thought (imagination?) that will give me a lot to process!
I appreciated getting a glimpse into your own process with remote viewing through dreams, and your description of the information that comes through as poetic. It makes sense, but I hadn’t quite put it together in that way. I have often tended to see dreams or other visions either through the psychological lens you describe, or as corresponding with objective reality in a very clear way. I have certainly had experiences where an image or knowing was strong, direct, and impossible to ignore that turned out to reflect or predict something in the material world.
I’m curious about how to discern whether something we’re receiving should be understood as a direct reflection of material reality, filtered through a poetic lens, or symbolic. Is it the strength of sensation? Some other quality? I had a very strong vision/knowing in a non-ordinary state of consciousness a couple of years ago that felt very concretely real, and it has been haunting me ever since! I’m stuck on whether it should be understood literally as prediction of the future or instructions (that would have life-altering consequences) or as a more poetic or symbolic rendering.
Laila, your question is an ongoing exploration for me too to be sure, in that I don't think there are super clear markers that tell us if some vision, psychic impression or dream are literal vs symbolic or both. As you say, there are times where the knowing is so intense that it's obviously a literal precognition, for instance. Other times, it "feels" literal and isn't, and viceversa. I believe we can become more sensitive to the difference with practice, but perhaps it's not even about that at all...
What I've developed for myself is a series of tools for further inquiry:
- Dream journaling and going back to note when something in dreams appears within the next days, even when it's super minimal or mundane. I hope that this feedback trains my system to notice the difference better.
- Psychic practice outside of sessions to keep honing my discernment of signals, which I can say has definitely evolved with time.
- Probing the dream or psychic info I get through:
* Asking my guides to clarify;
* Asking for further dream signs/direction -- I learned this tip from Henry Reed's work, quoted in the essay, that we get better (dream/synchronicity) information when we've made up our minds to do something about the situation, as though the sincere will power activates the information, versus thinking about it academically. Sort of like saying "I've decided I'm going to try direction A, so stop me/redirect me if I'm wrong".
* Doing readings on cryptic information: clairvoyant readings and Taror/Oracle/I Ching/dowsing;
Just to share how for me this issue is definitely an art, not a science: I'm in the midst of a health situation where I had multiple psychic warnings, including a couple of dreams and precognitive waking visions, checked them out right away, but the info I got only made sense in hindsight, so... yeah XD
Crisis not avoided, but mitigated since I was on the alert that "something" was up.
I was drawn to the video because of my own dementing poverty curse/lesson/gift/trial/awakening...So I started listening last night and got partway through...and really resonated with the idea of sacrificing everything and then not being able to stand on my own two feet. That is not just metaphorical but my actual situation. I moved internationally to care for my parents and family and have ended up totally isolated due to my mother's narcissistic scapegoating smear campaign when I started to get just a tiny bit less enmeshed in the unspoken rules of the family. And I am trying to get back on my feet...it has been a long slog downer and downer and the coming back into this world is also a hell of a trippy trip, still with such sloth-like movement...am I growing moss?
But this is where I am also facing that I can't go back to the old world, it is just smoke, ash, and mirrors, and I couldn't do it deluded, so I won't be able to do it with all that I now know. So I have to accept the call to really trust in "spirit" or the EveryWhen.
Get weirder when I got to keep my me-ness on the down low because it has been so dangerous to be me? Ugh.
I hate people trying to control me, and yet I keep putting myself in those situations so I can fight against old ghosts and never win, and most importantly, be thwarted from power. From my power, which might be a lot more than I thought.
We really are afraid of our light, our power.
I stay so poor that I am unable to wield my power. I have an IFS players that do a little skit about this that is very amusing. It is like a 1980s news show where the anchor cuts to their in-the-field local reporter who has come to interview me with the tag line, "local woman thinks she created evil". But yet we find out pretty quickly that I have not created evil. That me being my sovereign self is safe. If my "ideas" can be twisted to create evil, well, it is the twist of the idea, because my idea is not evil. Hello, raised by a narcissistic mother, where I must be so on point with checking every nook and cranny to see if there is somewhere still where I can be found at fault, even though I did the right thing and with good intentions.
Ha, I am trying to get to the point...let's see if this works.
Today I was planning on going grocery shopping, but something in me just couldn't, but I did feel a pull for a walk. On my way past a place I had seen many times before, I looked in depth into their back yard FSR (for some reason) and saw a turquoise wooden dophin hanging from a tree that also had painted gourds and other slightly strange things. So I laughed thinking of your remote viewing, and went about the walk. I also saw a white bunny garden ornament that sparked my FSR. Then, on my way back when I had repassed the dolphin, I thought, but it is only one dolphin, and immediately looked across the road to see a small Japanese flying carp kite hanging in the tree. The flying fish and the dolphin, not bad, eh?
Oh, and when I got in from the walk and was thinking I would have to tell you, you had liked some of my notes, and of course, the bunny one!!! Which I had a micro-hesitation at posting, which I am noticing is an important sign to pay attention to. That recitence (for no reason) to stop me from flowing, and tumble me back into overthinking...When I "leap-frog" over the fear, I am rewarded with magical winks like my recent fully-loaded wink walk.
Lia, thank you for taking the time to share all this! How I love it when the Cosmos beckons like that with all the crazy "is this real" winks 🤩
I'm also so glad listening to the recorded session sparked something meaningful for you. I've had my own decades-long journey with poverty and I know anything we can do to grab onto that birthright of life-connected thriving matters.
Thank you so much for your magic in the world! The day after I listened to your reading, I looked outside FSR (for some reason) just to see a U-Haul moving truck with a picture of a dragonfly that was bigger than me! So many winks for me with that reading!!!! So thanks again for helping me feel connected to the EveryWhen and your kind words.
Also, it was so cool to listen to you work with the symbols that you worked with. Have you had that kind of symbolic vocabulary your whole life, or did you develop it through working on your intuition and psi abilities?
thank you, doing readings is one of my favorite things in the world!
I've always had a special connection with symbolic languages, but this particular skillset I developed through studying at a clairvoyance school, and tons of practice to learn my mind's vocabulary 🤓

I was met with the same kind demeanor.
Then I laughed and knodded knowingly.
Thank you so much for sharing this dream, CC 💖

I rarely have vivid dreams, so this one was quite a treat! I blame the bbq. 🍗🔥
can't beat that "charged full moon x bbq " combo for these things! 😆
Thank you for this food for thought (imagination?) that will give me a lot to process!

Ok, the game is afoot.

Thank you for this. Nice to meet another dreamer with similar views.
It's so nice to be connected to a fellow dreamer, same here! 🫶🏻
