    Moon Cycle: 14% illuminated waxing crescent in Libra

    Tarot Card: 2 of wands

    Mayan Calender: Blue Self- Existing Night
    Dream:

    I found myself in the red rocky mountains that had a resemblance to places in the grand canyon.
    An old Apache Indian chief lead us toward a huge orangy red mesa-like mountain.On the cliff face of the mountain many abstract colourful art paterrns where painted.
    Two scientists followed closely, although they where more of a pain than anything else.They continuously complained about the heat and how much further we had to go. I prefered staying close to the Apache shaman that lead us, listening to his stories and wisdom of the solar system and our planets, namely Pluto.

    At the top of the mountain was where we where to do a shamanic vision quest ceremony,the first night consuming blessed tobacco and then moving onto other psychedelic medicines.
    The walk soon turned into a climb, when we where faced with the shear cliff face with practically vertical stairs upon it.When we reached the top there was a small hatch to climb through.Once through a small concrete covered room lay,with the view of the azure sky.
    I felt rather guilty as i forgot to tell the scientists to bring blankets and warm clothing,the nights where going to get cold.

      hi Kaizen

      pluto... what a coincidence! recently i bought (in RL) a Sc.F booklet in second hand shop, 50s cheap publishing, with a plot centered on Pluto.

      it's about pig capitalist tycoons in search of rich mineralized asteroids ganging-up with prisoners' underground from Mercury's prison colony to replace the stagnant pan-galactic government with more dynamic one, that will support the peaceful conquer of space. the big prize is legendary rich asteroid+the clever beauty's heart (but she sticked to the same husband...)

      as for the vision quest: thanks for the inspiration! after reading your dream, i clicked another tub to find invitation to join a vision quest led by elder Apach shaman that i know (RL again) - with i took at once.

      and is this the kind of landscape you have seen?

      Yes, that picture has an uncanny resemblance to the dreamscape which i found myself in!
      Wow, quite the coincidence...although I don't really believe in coincidence,and feel "synchronicity" is a better adjective.
      The Shaman in my dream seemed to have sacred knowledge and reverence for Pluto, as some kind of demi-God.

      Awesome that your'e doing a vision quest, a friend of mine did one and she informed me it was a true life changer
      If your on the path of awakening and self discovery I also recommend doing some research into Vipassana 10 day silent retreats.

      I have done one two moo and it has changed my entire perspective on all that is,for the better.

      I will be doing a four tobacco ceremony with a South American Shaman next month.Looking forward to explore the depths within.

      Let me know how everything goes!

      I've just read one of your posts on a Hebrew library dream you had.
      Another sychronicity, as just last I night had a vivid non lucid dream where I was reading a leather bound "Peace" book inscribed with golden lettering and written in Hebrew,Arabic with English translations.
      In the book there where many symbolic images in I circles, such as the star of David and numerous others which I haven't yet identified.
      Very interesting stuff..maybe we're sharing dreams

      synchronicities... how technical. i'd rather say "omens".
      Don Juan (CC- did you read any?) said omens comes in 3s. this was the case for me - until i became more "advanced", now they come in 2s - the third is my action upon them!
      but the library came in - how many? my dream, yours... then "Assasin creed"...(just read some wiki - i don't play video games) what else? i forgot... dream or waking?
      did you notice? whether we share dreams or not - your dream effected my reality! it's not the first time with me... do we share some reality? dream-like? or not?

      "path of awakening"? not me, i'm on a Collision course... and can hardly keep my eyes open :cant sleep: and vipassana i don't like. i red the instructions: it's like, seated crossed-legged on the floor, look 3 meter ahead of you, down to the floor.
      in my own knowledge, there is a kind of dance you can decipher - like bee's dance, in a way - there, looking down at the earth means - avoiding dealing with challenges, instead focusing on the past, childhood, babyhood, the time before birth/death; ego, puffed sentiments. the correct default stance in most cases is - looking straight ahead, at eyes' level. so - yes, a period of mouth shutting is a good idea; but not the focus.

      what about pluto?
      oh, right! i was once with this shaman in an evening of kabbalistic chants - knew most of the people there, didn't understand the connection - so, he's just one of them! surprise!
      a decent and gifted one!
      thank you for another insight!

      do we share dreams? possibly, though unproven. that landscape remind me of an ancient dream, a rare lucid, where a group of people were recapitulating in a circle with some strange hand movements, in the grand kenyon. could be "the long recap" which i started teaching (on rare occasions) some years later - a method to release key memories from past lives. but your library looks a lot more respectable then mine - a place to look for the Voinich manuscript... or the library where desmond miles found the apple of eden... where Hebrew is revered as a magical language... while mine looks like a poor local, probably children's library mostly, anyway not much to look forwards to on it's few shelves. (Hebrew is just my native languagh.) wow, i didn't notice i'm so OPINIONATED about this library! kudos for dream attention, charlla! [self pet on shoulder]

      and what's a "peace" book?

      apologise for answering just now... login troubles, lot of. i was about to give up logging in anywhere ever again.

      oh, here is that icon!

      so - sure, i'll let you know - and you too? the tobacco self intoxicating ceremony?

      that library dream was the last in a sequence of dreams of looking for a new place to live/rent. in one someone drove me to thickly populated urban area, top of a skyscraper, i decided not to take it, the second similar place i said no in advance, thought i'll look in a poorer neighborhood - lower buildings.
      other, similar dream - all in another worlds.

      no need for drug IMHO - and i don;t touch any. lack of food, drink and sleep+clear set intent can do a better job.

      yesterday crashed ,literally ...
      woke early miserable and sick.

      did some cloths washing and danced (on the sunny roof of this hotel) asked - what's the matter with me. (told you - a dance to receive answers to questions?)

      received - i'm linked to earth's trouble, to death, instead of being linked upwards, to yah [=spirit].
      have to cut it and link upwards.

      but it was another dance that gave me the answer: yesterday, at the "event",sitting with my feet in lake Kineret, watching the sunset's colors on Golan mountains and the fool moon, striving to ignore the loud music from the boats which zig-zagged on and off (it was still Id-El-Adcha, a muslim holliday) feelint the strong wave of attention from the attendants of the event about to vanish (i arrived little late, for i couldn't find a way down to the water! informal paths blocked, formal gates closing... a curse! the lake drying, all beaches turned inaccessible! eventually i asked a special favor from a woman who runs a women-only religious beach, promising i'll just sit near the water, fully dressed, and she g i saw at the corner of my eye a huge body (well - half a meter wide approximately) jumping up , in a steep arc, and back into the water. probably just a big fish... but i saw recently a youtube showing misterious uge bodies moving in water - creepy... it was still Id-El-Adcha, a muslim holiday, big boats crossed the water to and fro playing cheep too loud Arab music, was hard to get into mood of silence -
      dance said - the fish, a decent guy basically, was trying for sometime to get out of the vibe of doom by awquard jumps up, which took him directly back down; was following me (telepathically) for a while, came (like other animals did) to make a contact, an impression.
      i have to cut it and turn upwards.
      not like me, this inability to cut clean.
      staying here another day, for the holiday (jewish one this time - Sukot).

      as for your dream book - i don't know what good can the Hebrew link do for you, but some bits of English translations you can find in my forums, Warrior's Assemblage Point: like this

      this language IS (at least so i claim) the mother of Semitic languguages [-"the hypothetical Proto-Semitic) , including Hebrew and Arabic (she is similar to both).
      now i go to swim. i don't really feel like, by i need to. break this fixation. me near water and not jumping in??! the water got so muddy in the last decades... as were the sees...

      hey, second time you see my reality in your dreams!

      in another bit of dialogue with earth, yesterday at "the event," i asked her (about that other planet) "how many moons?"
      "five."
      i freaked out. she laughed and laughed! impolitely - just like my son another day - a friend of his got deep into explaining some logic, and i said "you'r sliding on the surface - never to get deeper" - acompanying it with hands moves, as if sliding a big ball. my son laughed like crazy. i'm not eazy to get offended - this time i almost did, when he decided to explain: "you said (previousely in the conversation) "ass"... then you [immitated my tapping on the ball] - the ass..."
      i joined his crazy laughter.
      but earth didn't explain. "did i see it? "
      "in dreams".
      "what' last night?"
      she didn't stop laughing and i have no clue why.

      but imagine - tides?
      with 2 suns and 5 moons?
      FREAKISH!
