My Dream: Setting The Turtles Free

This dream happened right before I woke up. That is when my messages from Spirit are most clear and accurate.

I was walking around the back yard of my house, not the present home I live in, but one I apparently had been living in for some time. 

I was startled to find a pond like the one above, with a fountain and lotuses. It was filled with turtles that were healthy and happy.

To my horror, I saw an empty two-liter plastic bottle that was half-filled with baby turtles. There was a terrible stench, and they were not moving. They did not look good. There was no label on the bottle.

I ran to the kitchen and got my kitchen shears. They cut anything. I opened it up, and they turtles came to.

I gently picked them up and put them in the pond, one at a time. All of the other turtles were happy to have these trapped ones back.

I had the vague sense I once had placed them in the bottle for 'safekeeping', been interrupted, and completely had forgotten I had both them and the pond!

So I apologized to the turtles, and I gave them lots of extra food. 

They were happy to be together at last, and with full stomachs too!

Then the bottle still felt heavy. And I looked. Inside were snakes of all ages and all sizes. 

I was not afraid, but I had no idea where to put them! They were not poisonous. I set them free in the woods at the edge of the yard.

Someone present told me the name of one, and that it was rare and worth a great deal of money. I knew they would be okay when I let them go. 

The snakes didn't thank me, but I could tell there were glad to go and be snakes and not be cooped up in that bottle. 

What does Steven Farmer have to say?

Well, he has 'tortoise', not 'turtle', but here we go:
When you're feeling pressure from a number of fronts--pulled this way and that by the demands of modern life--it's very easy to succumb to a false sense of urgency, feel out of balance and fragmented, and be in a constant state of tension. You can become forgetful and have difficulty sleeping. You may even attempt to stabilize and center yourself by resorting to the use of substances or activities, hoping they'll make you feel more at home in your own skin. Meanwhile, your mind rushes ahead from one thing to the next, while your body tries to play catch-up. The technological web consisting of computers, faxes and television--plus the noises all around--creates a constant assault on your senses. Exhausting isn't it?

First, recognize most things that you treat as emergencies or crises are merely inconveniences. Then slow down! Move a little bit slower than your'e accustomed to, and practice breathing slower and deeper every opportunity you get. This in itself helps you align with your internal rhythms, rather than being in a state of continuous reactivity to outside forces. Spend time in Nature and take off your shoes and socks. Putting your bare feet on the ground allows you to only experience your solid connection to the Earth. When you do, notice the difference in how you feel, and see if your mid isn't at least a bit calmer. It may be challenging at times to do any of this, but it can be done. It just takes your clear intention and willingness.


Here is what he has to say about 'rattlesnake', not 'snake':
The foundation for compassion is an awareness that suffering is a natural part of life, whether through the empathic appreciation of another being's pain or the experience of having suffered oneself. And which beings haven't at times felt the pain or sorrow that is an aspect of living on this planet? The deeper you go into the soul of another, the more you can feel what they feel, yet paradoxically maintain a certain distance or objectivity.

A true Healer must heal from the heart, no matter what technological, logistical, physical or shamanic tools they use. The experiences that your'e going through now or have just completed are all a preparation for you to open your heart to the suffering around you and do your part in alleviating it. You'll find that you're increasingly being asked to offer your time and energy to help heal others--including not only people, but also animals, plant beings, tree people, and ultimately, our Earth Mother. Some of this healing power exist between races, ethnicities, and other species.

You'll notice more and more how often your hands will spontaneously feel energized, experiencing it as heat or a tingling sensation. This is the Power of Spirit working through you. Allow it to guide you in whatever the focus of your healing is, whether simply placing a hand on the shoulder of a friend, or more extensively and directly involving yourself in another being's health.

Cops And Robbers

Last night my boy had terrible dreams of robbers and kidnappers and tape on the mouth.

He wasn't hurt, and actually another thief helped him escape.

Guess what? I was two rooms away reading about Alcatraz escapes. It was all about the very things he dreamed, including the tape...one of the guards had been taped over the eyes and the mouth and taped to a tree.

I did that once when I was a kid and mom was reading vampire stories...In the morning I told her I had the most unusual dream and I described it.

As it turns out, my dream was page for page what she had read.

Isn't that awesome? The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

Good thing I wasn't reading Lady Chatterly's Lover! LOL.

I'll be careful what I read next time. Only happy things, or factual ones.

Aloha and Mahalos,

Namaste,

Why Does It Always Have To Be Snakes?

I do not dream.

I am not like David Wilcock except on very rare occasions. Last night was one of them. I dreamed of snakes.

I was staying with my family at a not-so-fancy hotel. Everything was fine in the day. It was in the west. But as evening set, I saw a rattlesnake in the room. I cautioned the family, and went for help. But the people who were supposed to take care of the snakes were not listening to me.

I couldn't get their attention. As a matter of fact, I started seeing more snakes, everywhere, coming out of the walls. There were large constrictors, black snakes, harmless snakes, and rattlers. Lots and lots of rattlersnakes.

I saw them reared up with fangs and mouth open, but none of them seemed to want to hurt me.

It was the risk of the family getting hurt that made me move to action. I swam for help. And as I was swimming, snakes were swimming in the opposite direction, lots of them, and not one hurting me. They had somewhere to go, something to do.

When I returned, again, without help I had been seeking, the family was okay inside and there were no longer the snakes. We decided to go, or I woke up, or I went back to my normal dreamless sleep.

What is snake medicine?
In First Nations, snake is the symbol for Transmutation. The power of snake medicine is the power of creation, for it embodies sexuality, psychic energy, alchemy, reproduction, and ascension (or immortality). It is the energy of wholeness, cosmic consciousness, and ability to experience anything willingly and without resistance. Thoth, the Atlantian who later returned as Hermes and was the father of alchemy, used the symbology of two snakes intertwining around a sword to represent healing. Complete understanding and acceptance of the male and female within each organism creates a melding of the two into one, thereby producing divine energy. (The Kundalini)

What else does snake represent?
The snake is a form of the Goddess Energy. It lies low to the earth, and is grounded.  It also is a Reptile, which connotes many of the extraterrestrial-ology lore of the Reptilians. In Hawaiian lore, Puhi, or eel (there are no snakes in Hawaii), represents sexuality.Snake is also referenced in the Adam and Eve story as the 'tempter' of Eve and the reason for being driven out of the Garden of Eden.
According to one Pleiadian channelling, this weekend is the opening of the Abundance Portal, which could be represented by 'snake abundance' dream connotation. http://sacredascensionmerkaba.wordpress.com/2013/09/22/urgent-abundance-portal-next-3-days-pleiades-921-925/

What do dream interpreters say?
Snakes EVERYWHERE is a dream of abundance and energy that is not being fully acknowledged. Here is one blogger's view and description of a similar dream and how it fits into his life: http://williedee.wordpress.com/2012/07/18/snakes-everywhere/  Here is the snakedreams.org impression of 'snakes everywhere': http://www.snakedreams.org/dreaming-snakes-everywhere.html
Here is the part about swimming: http://www.snakedreams.org/dreaming-snakes-water.html
This part makes total sense: The dream may also reflects your desire or hope to clear some worries with regards to a close relationship or a situation that touches you deeply.
How it makes sense is that Chef has gone 'north' for travels without explaining to anyone back home or his housemates where, why, or when he is coming back. I actually called his culinary school which is 'up north' to make sure they had seen him and that he is okay. His colleagues worried, but were so upset they did not think to make the call. His car breaks down sometimes, and his vow of silence might make it difficult for him. In my heart of hearts, I let go, and have let go for some time. Intuition says he has some major decisions to make on his goals and life plans, and to allow him the space he needs to co-create on this. A little part of me likes to think he is in Agartha through the portals of Mount Shasta and hanging with 'the homies' again. But that's just the romantic in me that likes to think that. The doctor part says, 'although he is RAW vegan, he hasn't seen a doc in years for an annual, and anything can happen.'. Either way, we will know and it will be for the Highest Good. But, Chef, if you are reading this, when you told me 'we never die', you were mistaken. The part that is able to hug and comfort the living disappears forever. I know. I am a medium, and I feel their pain on the Other Side for how it's 'different' in this way.

Was this dream an indicator of Something Really Big Happening?
Yes! It was the nine-month anniversary of December 21, 2012! The new Paradigm was born. I had no awareness of it until I read this: http://galacticchannelings.com/english/cosmic_awareness16-09-13.html
Here is a quote: Everything has indeed changed, but it may take a while for the individual to fully comprehend and understand this and thus implement it. It will take civilization, the collective human consciousness, a time to realize these changes. It is for this reason that many who are advanced in their understanding and have offered themselves to be of service during this crucial time, will be of critical importance. Many who have sought the higher levels of consciousness and have grounded them strongly within their own being will find themselves in situations where more are finally paying attention to them, to what they have spoken, for there will be that shift that does occur even if at an unconscious level in the collective consciousness of humanity.

Waking Up With Sunshine

One of the things I enjoy is sleeping outside. Where I live has many trees, but not so much as to block out the sky. Sometimes when I am alone, I sleep on the balcony. I get my old army surplus sleeping bag my uncle gave to me, a foamy mat, kick back and watch the stars.

There was a full moon last night. An Aries moon that is supposed to 'super charge' you. It was so bright I couldn't fall asleep. It wasn't until the moon went to the other side of the house that I could rest. 'I'm being followed by a moon shadow...moon shadow...moon shadow'--remember that song? Well, last night was the first time I discovered what a moon shadow was! I slept in it.

The dreams were disturbing. Spiders on me. But one I couldn't shake off my finger. I had my dad help me. It was a black widow. I saw the shiny black abdomen with the red hourglass on it. It never bit.  Then I dreamed that I had my pet rabbits out on the balcony. But in the night, rodents came out of the potted plants and ate the flowers off. There were rats, gophers, moles. Next thing I knew, the rabbits were in the yard below. One of them had a hole about the size of its head in the thoracic cavity. I could see the heart and lungs and intestines working, the rabbit was unaware, and at the same time it was eating its own organs. The other rabbit was fine. But it horrified me. I wanted to get a dog and get rid of all the plants just to keep the varmints away!

I usually don't dream at night. I also do not own rabbits.

So in the early sunrise, I put my hands behind my head, looked up, and started to decipher:
spiders: feminine power
black widow--spider reversed: too much feminine power
rats/mice: scrutiny, opportunism
rabbits: fear

Then what flew overhead? Crows. Lots and lots of them.
crow: the law

And over on the branch, also in silhouette, a sole hummingbird. I could hear it's call.
hummingbird: joy

Since I couldn't understand it enough, I decided to  think about someone I adore. I felt the peace and joy of their presence. I could almost imagine being right next to them...I closed my eyes and smiled with delight.

And then there was a sound! A loud buzzing, way louder than a mosquito. I opened my eyes, startled!
There was a hummingbird in the fuschia blossoms inches above my left arm!
It was so close I could feel the breeze from its wings!
It went to four flowers, to my amazement! and then it flew away. I can still hear it and its friends chirping and calling furiously.

Joy...what a fantastic way to start the day.

Namaste,

Reiki Doc

P.S. Sleeping outside will energize you. And clear and ground everything that's mixed up in your energy. Whether you are in a tent or not, in the suburbs or country, it doesn't matter. All you need to do is to sleep under the stars...

The Importance of Dreams

Last night I dreamed about Elvis.  I was in his house, visiting with my mother. He was and old man now, maybe a decade older than mom. He was a kind man, a good host. And when I went to find where my son had left my cell phone, I came across a bedroom where there were pictures of us, on a poster board. Pictures on mom and dad and the family, and family friends, too. They had been sent to him by mom when I was little. She had been trying to help him have a normal life...Uncle Elvis Presley! He had been saving this for all these years! Known me before I could remember. And cared enough to get the photos out so he could jog his memory, and remind himself of who all of us were...

That dream made me feel warm and happy. And very loved! I am going to be excited about it as I go through my day at work. It felt 'real' while I was in it.  And left me energized now for my day.

Was this only a figment of my imaginative subconscious?

Perhaps someone who has studied psychology could let me know. But even if they did explain the psychological insight, would I believe it? I would take it with a grain of salt. Because I FELT it! In my heart-of-hearts, I KNEW that I was right there at that house talking to Elvis. Nothing can convince my rational mind when my emotional center is set.

This brings up two things: perception, and the astral plane.

Perception is the individualized perspective of being alive on the Earth. Only you can experience exactly the way you do your life and your interaction with those around you. This is somewhat linked to your level of vibration. The higher your vibratory rate, the most of the 'big picture' you will 'see' with your heart-of-hearts, and the more compassion you will experience for others in your daily lives. Compassion and level of vibration (another word for Consciousness) is adjustable. The Mind and the Will, together with much Discipline, can raise it. The catch is raising one's level of Consciousness must be a desire of yours in the first place, and a desire that is built by correct reasons. To be famous or to be a brilliant psychic now that you have lost your occupation is not as likely to raise your Consciousness as the desire to help others on their path and to know more about yourself and the Spirit World.

My perception is that I saw Elvis in my dream state, for whatever reason--I was happy and with joy to be in his Presence. And that is enough for me. I don't need to understand it. And I trust that this was a gift for me, for courage in our daily life. And for happiness to be experienced for its own sake in my heart.

In between perception and the astral plane is the concept of Oneiromancy, or in lay terms, the Study of the Interpretation of Dreams. There are books and books the the field of Metaphysics devoted to this task. This is what got Joseph in the bible, and others in the book too, out of deplorable situations by having the ability to accurately interpret the prophetic dreams of the royals. There are seven basic types of dreams:
1) Dreams of affluence
2) Dreams of frustration
3) Dreams of travel
4) Dreams of falling
5) Dreams of being chased
6) Dreams of being trapped
7) Dreams of lacking clothing

These dictionaries of dreams further explain what the significance is of the dream. For example, I had a dream of a snake, and I looked it up online a few weeks ago. Intuition guided me through the multiple meanings behind the symbol to the one that felt 'right' to me. It had a pertinent significance, so I bought a keychain of a snake to remind me of the important message that was in the dream. Most dream dictionaries are made from past sources, and the Freudian dream interpretation has been relegated to the dreams of the few who are not psychologically healthy individuals. The dictionaries are from tradition, handed down to us since Artemidorus, a Greek soothsayer.

The Astral Plane is where we 'go' when we are in the dream state. For example, Heaven is the same as our Earth Plane, only about three feet higher. That is why a Spirit will seem three feet off the ground, but contact with a Ghost is verified by their feet being present on the ground the same as us. Heaven is a higher vibration, a place we cannot 'see' much like the blades of a fan 'disappear' when the rotational rate is high enough.

I think that the Astral Plane is somewhere else, possibly a vibration that is between Heaven and Earth. I believe at night we go out of our bodies, as pure consciousness, and watch the films of our day much as a sports player would after their tournament with their coach. There are coaches there, mostly angels, guides and deceased loved ones. They are at a higher vibration, and must lower it in order to communicate with us. This is best accomplished in the midpoint vibration, The Astral Plane, where the ease of sending the message on their part is matched by the decrease in resistance on ours. And this communication is important towards our overall Spiritual Growth. Some problems are intergenerational. The addictions, the anger management issues, molest and rape. It is my belief that these unsolved challenges are handed down to each generation in the hopes that the afflicted incarnated Spirit may be the one to solve the conundrum once and for all. Everyone is helping from the Other Side, but only the one on Earth can Break the Cycle. And there is great cheering and honor and relief to the entire family, ancestors included, when this cycle is addressed head on and victory is earned in the process.

I have no source for this, except Source, my sturdy and dependable guide in my heart. I discovered it through challenges, and also through quiet times and instrospection. This guide is available to you. And with that inner navigation, you might never need a Dream Dictionary again! Get to know it : )

Good bye for now and Namaste,

Reiki Doc
