Re: A few odd recurring things
Hi, i've had the same thing happen in the past in dreams/projections. being lots of characters at one time, interacting with each other.
Violetimagery also made a thread about it recently - viewtopic.php?f=19&t=14554
when it was happening with me, it was right before, and during, a period of quite intense change in my life, inside and out.
something i read yesterday made me think about those experiences - Kurt Leyland's Music and the Soul.
he talks about 8 components of the psyche, otherwise known as the 8 dream characters.
these characters consistently turn up in our dreams, as symbols for the workings or the mind. often we project images of characters that fit with each separate components "character", eg, soma (Greek word for body) is body consciousness, the sum total of the bits of consciousness present in each individual cell. so we might project onto that an image of the perfect body, or maybe the way we'd look if we stopped taking care of ourselves.
at the opposite end of the scale is the dream character that represents our relationship with the soul, the numen a latin word for a minor deity or nature spirit that makes any object or location numinous, which is to say, infused with supernatural energy.
the numen in a dream might look like a wise old man or woman, with magical powers.
reading this yesterday took me back to those experiences, and i could place the different components interacting with each other.
my intuitive guess would be that maybe the components had to find a better cohesion with each other than was presently in place. to be able to work together for the good of the entire system? something like that.
i also recently saw myself in a mirror during a projection, with similar results.
first, the reflection looked away, and i could detect my own sense of humour playing with me. it wasn't entirely mocking, just having fun.
when i said a quick "hey!! come on now!" to it, it responded as a reflection should. then as i looked into my eyes, my face started to transform into the dragon's face from one of my tattoos.
this i was very excited about, as i've had a couple of experiences with a not-quite formed dragon in the past. i think it symbolizes my evolution on some level. i was told by it that i would see it again when it is fully matured. in the mirror i only got about 1/3 of the way to a full transformation, and my tattoo is only 1/3 of the way to being finished. it feels like, when the tattoo is completed, i will have gone thru a full transformation, on some level of my being. funny, cos i've just been invited to take part in a special experience that i'm sure is gonna have a great effect on me, and it's taking place at the exact time i had an appointment to get the final part of the tattoo done, so i'm having to reschedule - possibly to some time after this event has taken place...
well, dunno if that helps any. look into the 8 dream characters, it made all those experiences finally make sense for me..
