New Dream Experiment

I wish Korpo would have a go at the 'head' dream.

Send him a pm with the link. He may not have seen it.

Nothing has come up in my dreams but I did see an elephant's trunk in hypnagogia.

This is today's stuff, it was a busy 'night' but not very amazing.

The part about the false awakening and checking out the board here was a little ingriguing. Wish I could have read Volgerle's future post about what it 'is'.

7:00 p.m. Aug 7th:
I receive a bride in an arranged marriage from India. She is young and quite beautiful. Her skin is the color of a well-roasted peanut and I am totally fetched with her. She is unpacking and a large cache of correspondence between her and her sister falls out. It is written in English and with an elegant hand and I gather from it that she is well educated.

She's intent on getting a job right away though I try to persuade her it isn't necessary. She's going to work for the organization that arranged the marriage and brought her here, but it seems that they run an escort service and I protest, but she assures me she won't be entertaining any gentlemen.

She starts doing whatever I am doing for me and I explain that American men are accustomed to doing for themselves. I start getting a sense were going to have some cultural differences, but she's so darn beautiful I'll deal with it.

She's working now and we're in a factory setting. She has some sort of leather art work on the floor and she is to apply an almond color paste very specifically here and there, but she's gotten it on her shoes and it dries like plaster. I try to explain that she must be more careful but she doesn't want to listen to my lecture on perfection and resumes her sloppy work.

There is some clandestine about this organization, something large and dangerous and the theme that I am but a child with his toys keeps breaking through. At a point three of us are trying to 'get away' and I've requisitioned three yellow scooters to help us (here we have red dirt again - was in the apocalyptic dream) but the scooters are mere toys only capable of a fast walk. Back in the factory I walk in on meeting of secret service types in navy suits and wires and the director comments that my secret service equipment is old issue, implying I'm just a boy with his sheriff's costume and I walk on.

In another dream I had a white crocodile with a white snake for a tongue. He was my pet and I thought how impossible it would be to keep him clean.

And this lastly, I woke up and remembered logging on here and reading somebody’s post. Must go in the category of false awakenings because my laptop was in its case on its hook on the wall.

I will, or anybody else for that matter. Whatever anybody cares to interpret would be interesting, no doubt, it's just that I think it would be too open-ended (open-headed?). But I'm always surprised by Korpo's analysis and other's as well. Just trying to think of a way to get him over here, play the dream game.

@e1b
one of your latest dreams is again fascinating as to my symbol, reading it I only had a "hunch" and did some internet research now (looking for clues and connections), and it turned out again to be really fascinating from a symbolic point of view

"Different Folks"
What stands out from last night is a dream about a sitcom. It's one of those specials made many years after the sitcom has ended, like a revisit now the characters are all older. The father from "Different Strokes" seems to be the patriarch and he has adopted three daughters. Their adult selves are terribly ugly and, in the special,they still act and dress like little girls. I look at one and she has a hideously long and square jaw. I could say like "the Elephant Man" but what first comes to mind when I wake to write it down is an Easter Island head.

The other dream had a male impersonating a woman dream and another referenced dark green paint.

I wonder if something will happen in India soon? It seems to featuring in a couple of our dreams.

I'm not much in the loop, don't really know what's going on right now, but here's some scant journal of dreaming lately...

Since Oliver hasn't gone into it, I'll take a crack at it, but I may not be 'on'....

6:00 p.m. Aug 1,

This was a post-apocalyptic dream. The only image I'm going to deal with; it seemed we were trying to struggle our way through a huge white flower, the sort that is large and round with 'spears' for petals - a chrysanthemum - magnified so that each petals was ten feet high. We can't make our way up and through them so my gf (Rita/Jodie Foster) tries to make her way through the duct work of the destroyed house.

She's drawing or writing with crayons on construction paper and this long 'tape' of her work projects high out of the duct she's wedged in. I tell her I should try it, I'm a little narrower in the hips.

This dream went on and on, but that's all I have time for.

No clue about this one, were you in the stem of the flower crawling up? Seems sexual to me in a few ways. The flower being a female sexual symbol and you and your gf being both sides of your personality, your male side taking over getting you out of the female organ- a birth of sorts, maybe.

7:00 p.m. Aug 2nd:
I dreamed heavily but was enjoying the sleep too much to care about making any notes mental or otherwise as to what was going on. This is lunch 3:00 a.m. 8/3 and I thought to kill time I'd jot down a portion that was pretty freaky and not forgotten.

I take a young man's head (is it still attached to the body?, not sure) and place it on a table and with a regular chef's knife, broad like for cutting vegetables, I slice the top of his head off. This takes a bit even though there's no skull, just a thick rind, green and yellow like a cantaloupe but the interior is more like a red grape. The head collapses a little when the top is removed. The head has gotten slimy from the ‘juice’ so I look around for a towel to wipe it off while holding so the insides don’t fall out.

I’ll bet nobody sent that image.

As a side note and for no apparent reason this reminds me of the head the knights templar are alleged to have had stashed somewhere which talked to them.
Anyway, it's a young man's head, I'd consider it a symbol of the thoughts/belief system of a male aspect of you. Separating the head off the body seems to me the act of disassociation your 'rational' 'male' brain from the rest of the body (sensory apparatus) and possibly emotions. You are doing it with a knife, which seems really deliberate- you recognize the duality of your male/female sides and are trying to separate one from another.

If you take those two dreams together I'd say that you have some issues with your female 'emotional' side or having trouble with women in your life- maybe- or something like that.

Hello, Richard.

I actually had no internet connection on the weekend, so I could not read anything or respond.

The head dream... hmmm. So, off the top of my head I'd say...

* The top of the head is associated with the crown chakra.
* Going from green to yellow to red is the color order from the heart chakra downward.
* I once saw a green and a yellow layer in people's aura, one inside the other.

Bones are usually the "supporting structure" of the body. This is further evidenced by the "collapse" of the head due to the lack of support. So, you try to open someone's head - opening their mind. The crown is symbolic for the higher learning in man, so you want to open that man's head for higher learning. But you realise there's no supporting structure (skull bone) to support this kind of openness - the minor collapse. The head is also a symbol for the mind.

The supporting structure is usually the belief system, but also the knowledge. To connect to something new you need some structure (bone) to build upon. Realising this you try to support this by yourself (trying to hold the head) and you also might interact with that person's energy (juice = current/electricity = energy).

The layers you find might be part of that person's development. This would denote layers till the heart chakra. This person could then be an energy body of yours or another person. Whoever you're looking at, it's the "inner qualities" you seem to be investigating here.

If this is indeed about the chakras of an energy body as well, then the crown would be integration of the whole energy body. However, from the colors found within it might be that the actual growth (body tissue could also be about growth) has only progressed to the heart chakra (a common association with the color green). If so, this might be the reason why there is no supporting structure yet at the level of the crown - the person's growth has not yet arrived "up there" - the supporting structure has not yet arrived at that level.

Cheers,
Oliver

Hello, Richard.

About the secret service guys.

I think the term is to be looked at as a wordplay - "secret service." This refers to doing your service by others "in secret" (on the other side). In fact, secret service is a symbol that has been coming up rather often - see for example CF's dream journal.

You note how the secret service guys (these could be your support team) having these navy suits. Clothing can be about energy bodies - here it is like being "properly dressed" or "apropriately dressed" for one's environment. Similarly each energy body is apropriate to its specific environment. You basically want to join in on the secret service, but you are told that you are not in the right energy body (old issue) yet to do so.

This remark might have been issued without judgement, but you take it personal. I doubt it was diminuitive in any way, but a remark like that can easily trigger a feeling of inferiority.

Now going back to the scooters - you might be used to much faster movement on the other side, at that level where the secret service guys operate. Compared to that the scooters move at a snail's pace. Different energy bodies have different speeds - the mental body is said to move instantly (speed of thought). The farther "away" from the physical plane you get the faster the perceived speed of movement.

The organisation might seem dangerous because you feel its power and influence. There is a subtle and ongoing influence of the nonphysical on the physical. This is often perceived as "secret" and "clandestine," and many connotations are added to it. The fear of the soul is often mixed into that, too. The whole structure can also be perceived as alien, for example. Compare for example sono's dream: [broken link, find sono's journal for Aug 9, 2010]

Cheers,
Oliver

Whoa! Thanks guys. Pieces of the puzzel are starting to fall together. I can't help but tie the 'mail-order' Indian wife into it as well which fits CF's senario mighty well and the chakra colors, Oliver, yep right on.

I'm going take a bit to wrestle with it all and get back to you.

You guys are really good.

Richard
