Dear Honey Bee: What was it like being eaten by the dragon. And which head
ate you? I'm curious.

Dream Title Out of body experience (nitamike )
Date of Dream 10/16/99
Dream I keep having the same dream over and over again. I keep having this
dream about me laying down on my bed, but I also see myself standing beside
me. Also in one corner of my room, I also see another vision of me leaving
my room but this one is telling me to walk with her, but for some reason I
can not move from my bed and then there is another vision of me(above) Me
just watching everything that's going on in the room.
Comments by Dreamer This date it was the last day that I had this dream but
I am pretty sure I will have this dream over and over again. Can anyone
tell me the meaning of this dream?...
Permission to Comment yes_share_comments
Permission Comments Everytime I have this dream or other dreams I see alot
of vision of myself, I mean I see alot of me in my dreams.
It sound crazy, but the first time I had this dream I was 7 yrs old.

Note what is happening at the same time: the scene changes with
exchange of the faceless animus figure (probably) for clothes. When you come
on scene, you must come on in costume-- identified, since once on stage,
you must act out of your character; some would say, you must _be_ her. At that
point, if I were to ask you which are you: who you (unconsciously) are, or
who you (consciously) think yourself to be, perhaps it will cause a moment's
doubt. With clothes/ without clothes, you see? Some have for that reason
called clothes "mental forms," and in an analogous way we may take the animus
figure more superficially to represent emotion; but this first state intimates
a union of opposites probably more profoundly, while we have named but two.

Yet in another sense, the dreamer has no difficulty with the
unconscious; in that sense, a healthy spleen is indicated by the fact that
one knows absolutely nothing about it, to perceive which nonetheless is
grace-- but the unconscious was quite different to Freud than to Jung,
though the same unconscious; the universe was quite different to Newton
than Einstein, but the same universe; once identified with the conscious,
possibly everyday, mental sense of oneself (clothed), the dreamer has lost the
oceanic bliss, and gained for context the unconscious as a muddy dump for
discarded junk, in which swimming is hard work.
>i had to trudge to the dock and very slowly pull my self up

That does seem to resemble a woman putting on clothes...

Often the dream tunnel is a tight fit, or proceeding the other way at
any rate, clothing (insulation) must be discarded, but this part is somewhat
redundant to the muddy pond. I am reminded of one of the sybelline comments,
apparently unsolicited, from a woman suddenly telling me of a sailing trip in
which she went overboard, and weighted down by winter clothes, she realized
she could not surface, just sinking down, when her husband's had reached down
and fetched her up. Husbands are occasionally good for something,
you know; but then sometimes it doesn't work, in which case it is probably
best to know how to swim.
>Comments by Dreamer due to a long term verbally abusive relationship, i
>have great fear of one on one relationships, dating, etc. i have recently
>begun extensive therapy to be able to let bad memories go and start trusting
>and dating again.
A feminist friend told me of her appreciation for a recent book which
noted that when an animal hears a snarl outside its burrow, it does not reason
with itself, "You know, that must have been my imagination; there is really
nothing to it... " Sometimes it is wiser to trust that
feeling in the gut than socially accepted platitudes?
>i'm a little apprehensive about the order of the dream. it seems to me
that i
>should have had the bad part first, and the good part last.
People do not have so much difficulty with subjective
information, nor with objective information, but where the two are confused,
confusion generally reigns-- no, the opacity is aptly in between.
>maybe i'm looking at this in the wrong context.
Quite possibly. The temporality of dreams is completely
different also.

On 08/27/99 I recorded the following dream:
#1056 M HEARS MY OM MANI - Hugh
I am standing at the end of a concrete block wall. I notice that a broken
slab from another concrete block has been shoved into the earth beside the
wall. My brother, M, sits, cross legged, on the ground uphill of the wall.
He signals for me to proceed and I start chanting Om Mani Padme Hum. At
first it comes out low and mumbling and I am worried that M will be bored,
then I start gaining volume and as I do the deep vibrations of the mantra
build and literally shake my body and make my head buzz.
The Om Mani is a mantra to liberate all sentient beings. I woke from this
dream with a deep feeling of well being and the sense that M, through his
devotion to R, is himself becoming "an advanced life form".

On 07/27/97, only a weeks after I started keeping a dream journal, I
recorded the following dream:
#40 ADVANCED LIFE FORM - Hugh
In the midst of another dream my brother, M, appears and tells me, most
emphatically, that his wife, R, is "an advanced life form". "She may not be
able to talk and she may not be able to eat," he says, "but she is an
advanced life form." I feel so very sorry for him but, of course, since she
is "an advanced life form" I mustn't show it.
After waking the sorrow that I felt for M eased as I saw that, though caring
for "an advanced life form" might not be fun, it is a
meaningful way to live. Later I learned from Tulku Bhagwan Rimpoche that in
Tibetan Buddhist tradition people, such as R, whose lives seem to end before
their physical death are regarded as particularly meritorious, having
managed to work out their karmic burden and joining Nirvana while incarnate,
thus becoming, in a sense, "advanced life forms".
