Thread: please tell me what this is

How good are you at lucidity? You could try find him/her/it in your dreams, they might even show up!

This is just to help you out, but your subconscious alreay knows the answer. It appears you have a dream guide. An manifestation greater than yourself to help you. In effect it is still you. The advise "he" gives is very valid. We don't have the ability to do two opposites at the same time. In your dreams that you do get some control in, I would highly recommend the path of light. Believe me, I have walked the dark path. It scared me of myself for years. The followin advise from your dream guide is valid as well, only one being in all of existence can control both opposites. That is why we are all here today. I would tell you one thing though, this dream definantly sounds like your subconscious telling you to find yourself. You might not notice this, but you chose the name of who you are supposed to seek. Dream guides are a great help, usually, but my dream guide took me were I really did want to go for a long time... the dark path. He only will show you the paths. It up to you to choose. I chose wrong and have regretted it since. Good luck and Gos speed.[/u]

I need to have a lucid dream soon, I've been using the named subconscious technique and I want to meet my subconscious in the dream world. I can't wait to meet him/her/it, I think it will really help me find out about myself in ways I didn't even think of before.

this is a typical Rite of Passage Dream. As one comes into active adulthood, one supposes that one must conform to an exact preconceived model or pattern. This is what one has been taught. Children think this way. but to be open and responsive to Life, one cannot be hemmed in by preconceived expectations. If one is too focussed on expectations then one will miss the actual realities as they have their impact.

In my case, the Man in the Dream told me "Be not one thing, and be not the other". It was an injunction to stay open.

You case adds a certain something. You are explicitly told to seek outside guidance.

In this regards, you should not simply sit and wait for this "Shadowstretcher" or whatever to appear. What I have always found is that one should simply seek out a Guide, just as a means of letting the Universe know that you are active and on the move. If it is an insufficient Guide, then the proper Guide will be along very shortly. Indeed, its become of habit... whenever I find a New Guru, or a New Girlfriend, or a New Anything... I keep my eyes open because as often or not the New is soon followed by a Better. It is as though the Universe is telling me in effect, "If you thought that was good, then check this out".

So, seek out Wisdom and Knowledge. Find a Group to join, or decide on a regimen of reading. Once you act, the Universe will respond with Guidance.

Oh, thats simple, the only one that can control darkness and light at the same time is the moon. I don't know where you should go with that, but it makes sense. There are eclipses, could be going somewhere like that. I cannot offer any deeper then that, but if you are to consult the shadowshifter, i'd assume that the moon would be a good place to start.

Oh, and masterdieff, ever consider that your subconcious may not want to see you? .

The sun also creates light and shadows at the same time.

it seems pretty clear that you have a dream guide on your hands. You say you've been having this exact dream every night? If so, getting rid of him in an ld seems possible. But your subconscious may be trying to tell you something about your day life. Try thinking what this shadow/light thing means to you on a personal level. Resolving this conflict instead of avoiding it will probably make the dream go away.

dream guide? would you clarify on this topic? as for the light and dark thing i think its your body telling you to find peace. look at the ying yang. its light and dark in harmony.

A dream guide is simple a manifestation of your subconscious that is reoccuring in dreams. They usually seem to know more than you, and are generally helpful. BUT remember, they are you.

each and every night for the last month ive been having the same dream

its kinda childish but i must get this out of me

Im in a dark room but i can see some figure in the middle of the room. and it aproches me and holds out its hand and says
"to control shadows you are never to control light and if you control light you can never control shadows" i replied "why are you telling me this?" hes hand starts to glow a blue flame "there is only one who may control both shadow and light, seek out ShadowShifter and he'll explain"

tell me PLEASE and if there is any way to get rid or find this ShadowShifter.

well, this is what I recomend, pratice LDing, next time you have one, find shadowshifter, have him explain. This is your subcouncious of course, but that will be most likely easier then contemplating the meaning of the subtle hints that are given to your concious mind. It could be something important that your subcouncious is trying to tell you, or it could be a bunch of crap, you never know with these things.

he has posted here seeking advice, I believe he will meet himself very soon

Wow. That's a cool dream. Wouldn't you realise you are dreaming now you know you probably will have the dream again?

And did you thought of the name 'shadowseeker' by yourself, or did you heard it first in your dream?

benkane1077 this drem guide confuses me. i dont seem to have one. no one in my dreams seem to egual up to it. i saw something that could be it. it was a white dolphin i recongnize it by its aura. ive onlt seen it once. once it took a differnt form a of a strange whale but that was it. as a dolphin it said something pretaining to that certian dream. the second time i was underwater and it tried to eat me. on the inside of its mouth were peoples upper torso screaming in pain. they had weird marks on their heads. the whale went to eat me but dindt and said something about not being one of them.after this ive never seen any one else whith his aura(that how i identify people in my dreams).help please

Not everyone will have a dream guide. Dream guides show up in several dreams and have a growing personality (that means they seem to learn). A dream character that keeps reappearing is probably just a person you know/knew or a symbol of that same person (wise person may look like owl). Dream guides generally are motivational. Dream characters are just innocent bystanders in your dreams. Hope this helps.

makes sense but how come hes only showed up twice? and symbol wise why a dolphin and a whale? and i would know if he showes up agian cause his aura pulsates with sheer power. i would recongnize him. and all the other peolpe have the same aura. weak or none.

The easiest way to explain water mammals in dreams, maybe not right in this case, is to ask what your elemental nature is.

Water - Tidal movement, attempting to stabilize
Wind - Gusts and unpredictable
Fire - Destructive and passionate
Earth - Strength in not changing.

ah back to the elements. i dont know what mine would be though.in my opinion i think i would be all though. i fit all descripitions. my bithday is september 7 1990 zodiac sign horse and astral sign virgo. if that helps. and if someone uses this info to stalk me ther will be trouble! ill get jim adler on you!!!(hes a lawer hehe! )

Orientals also believed in "Wood" as an element, sorry. It stands for life. Everything gets back to the basics at some point. Bone to ash, flesh to dust, today, you living is a must.

well i would be wood probably. so what does that have to do with this person(animals)in my dreams

Your dream animals were of a water nature. It could mean that your spirit is drying out and is thirsty, like plants can be.

ahhhh. but these dreams were ages ago.most my dreams nowadays have water in various forms.but im yet to see this thing since

Do you think it is interesting that there is the long term existance of water characters in your dreams? There is something to that. I've always had fire and shadow. You know what the dwarves awoke when they dug so greedily. Fire and shadow.

true,true. so perhapes my mind is digging for something. but waht could that be.maybe i should tell you of he dream with the dolphin. ok its this.
im under water on a ledge(yes i can breathe)below the ledge is darkness. a good distance in front of me is a aztec pyramid,silver. there are sea animals behind me watching to see if i go but i dont.nthen the dolphin shows up and sayes follow me. i take a step in front of me and poof!im in the temple. there are three very large steps.at the top is two double doors and two small dorrs on ethir side. i try to open the door in the middle(the double) and end up in the room on the left. its like an old house(like1700)whith wooden toys every were. i leave and try the double again whith the same results.eventually i wake up. oh and theres no water in the temple but its under water.and thats it.

The pyramid makes me think that you are seeking a higher knowledge or answer, and what do you find for your effort? A really simplistic view of life. All your answers are in a blade of grass. Answer the riddle, or you shall not pass.
