Dream 1 - Entering alternate realities in yesterday's Gong Restorative Yoga Class.
While not a nighttime dream, this was a form of lucid daydreaming (like a Wake Induced Lucid Dream - WILD), so I am writing it up is as a dream here. Toward the end of the restorative yoga with gong class last Friday, I actively sought to enter into alternative realities, which I had felt the gong vibrations were facilitating from throughout the class. After moving through some pastel cloud-like landscapes, I entered a very dark blue space without any distinct features, but with glowing white light celestial beings floating about. I asked to meet my inner/higher self and I met a man with a round face and full and mostly brown beard who smiled at me. I wondered why it had to be a man, and it shifted into a woman, but did not hold that shape for very long, as he/she became more indistinct in form. Communication was by telepathy, and I felt that I understood the intentions of the celestial beings in that way, although I could not formulate what I was feeling into words. I asked my inner self (if that is who it was) why I am having a certain health issue lately, what was the message that this ailment is intended to teach me? I could not, however, sense a response to that question. I think maybe because I was operating on too gross of a level -- not subtle enough.
I recorded five nighttime dreams this night. I could have recorded more, as this was a very active night, possibly due to the restorative gong class. One of the dreams seemed to be an answer to my health question, which dissipated considerably in the following days. The only one that I am including here is the following, because it, too, was related to my yoga studio.
Dream 5 - 4:40am - An early morning Wake Back to Bed (WBTB) dream.
I had woken up and then tried to remain awake as I re-entered the dream I had just had, which was in Singapore. It was working at first, but after a very short time my mind became scrambled (felt like scrambled eggs or television static) and I could not return to any lucidity at all. So I woke up again and decided to meditate lying in bed, instead. Meditation brought about a more clear hypnogogic lucidity. I was at my yoga studio and Abby was leading a yoga class - probably restorative. She had us flying around the room, but told us to move very slowly so we would not bump into each other, which was happening. She then had us lie down and expand our minds to fill the room, and then to merge minds into a single group consciousness. I think we did one other thing, but I could not recall what it was after I fully woke up again. This was fun, and clearly tied to yesterday's restorative gong yoga class. Maybe I should get myself a gong?
