So, I'm new. Hi. ^_^ Ok, I posted about this in the newbie section and I was told to come here, to make this easier I'm just gonna copy and paste:
Hello all. *waves* So I'm not too sure about the lucid dreaming thing. I don't doubt it, I just haven't had much if any experiance with it. I've been Pagan for years and the Shaman concept is not new to me, nor is the idea of other planes of existance, collective conscienceness, etc. I get visions alot along with rememberings, so that might have something to do with why I'm here.
I think I ran into a Dream Walker the other night and now I'm all freaked out and wondering about them. So, a short description: I was hanging out with friends and I locked eyes with a guy in a funny top hat from across a parking lot, I asked my friend, B, if he knew him, B didn't see him. Jump ahead 5 scenes: I'm still hanging out with B and his friends, we all go to eat at Denny's or IHOP. The guy from earlier is there, I ask B about him, B doesn't know him, at all, never even heard of him. All of B's friends do know him, thinks he's great, can't stop talking about how great he is. Guy sits next to me at the table and starts talkeing to me, telling me I have the most beautiful colors he's ever seen, I'm in all black. Then I start to feel like I'm being invaded emotionaly/mentaly, drained almost, and all I know to do is scream 'no, stop it!' . That's where I wake up saying 'no, stop it!'
I knew a guy once, he could dream walk, but all the experiances I've had with him were nothing like this. I've had dream friends, for lack of a better term, that were like guides, and all those were warm, inviting, wonderious, relaxing and educational, not like this. This felt invasive, cold and hungry, almost rape like. I also wonder what he meant about the colors thing? How do dream walkers pick targets? Do they wait on the fringes of the dream world for anyone to pass by? Do targets have to meet certain criteria? Can it be someone you see at the mall or a club? Are targets ramdom?
I understand that not all people are good people, that some shamans/doctors/cops/etc. are unethical at times, and this by no means makes all people bad people. I wonder if measures can be taken to prevent such run-ins? An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. I'm not looking become a dream master or anything, just looking for a way to keep the rats out of the barn. Any ideas or suggestions on any of this would be welcome, and I've already searched your board and couldn't find anything. If I missed something and this has already been discussed, I apologize. Thanks all.
