I wake up in this jungle area, I am underneath some sort of ruins of a dome supported by pillars. I hear something in the distance, I stand up it is dark out I see what I think to be a large kangaroo jumping away from me. Then something comes towards me after a bit, it turns out to be two very large horses. one bigger than the other, they are much closer to me now I feel slightly afraid because of the force I sense behind them.
I try to keep a stone pillar between me and them as they start circling the dome.. my fear dissipates though as I can sense they have good intention. they are beautiful and mystical in there own way.

It skips to a different part of the jungle, there are many people scurrying about. it reminds me of a rainbow gathering but with huts, I come upon this place called the shambala temple. I go across the way to a small hut where there is this chubby grey shaman alien looking man. I talk to him for awhile, only remember the part where he says I shouldn't get married. then I ask why, he says idk maybe you should get married. I will marry you two tomorrow! then I leave to go find my mate and tell him. apparently he's been arrested for trespassing with others. I see a goofy picture of him. there is some piece of paper that says he will be there for 20 days.

if anyone has opinions or interpretation they would be appreciated.

First I have to say this is one of the most vivid dreams ive ever had, but only a certain part of it. it is multiple layers.

I had this dream from a previous night of drinking some tea with passion flower wild lettuce and gingko bilbo. some potent stuff ill say!

So, I'm laying on my stomach on a bed, with my arms around Nada whom is facing away from me and sitting on the bed.
We are speaking, im unsure of what.
(the most vivid part)Then suddenly the pressure changes, everything goes eerily quiet.
The lighting in the room is completely different. everything is glowing and has this fluorescent atmosphere. I feel mildy like I can't move, there's this slight anxiety building up.
Then a very large dog, looks like a black and brown st Bernard poofs into existence above me to the left. it continuously looks like its fading in and out of existence. its very stoic doesn't seem to have awareness and is just floating there.

I ask nada if he sees this thing, no response. I am still holding what feels like him. I sit up stil holding him (i can move now) his torso comes undone from his legs, like a barbie dolls would. his legs are underneath me now his body parts are black, not really him.
I realize I've gone to another plane where he is not. I start calling out to him. I am hearing his voice every once ina while but I can deduct he can't hear me, I feel like I want to get back to him.
I start to float up I'm realizing more that this is a dreamlike world but not in fact realizing im dreaming because of the separation anxiety distracting me.

I want to leave this room explore more, suddenly the pressure changes im back on the bed. I call out to nada he is about to leave the room with his arms full of these colorful cups. he was going to help my mother with something.

he tells me that i just passed out, I start explaining my experience.
Then I wake up for real and I start to really tell nada of my experience ( weird doing that twice)

Would like to know anyones opinion on this, if they have ever experienced going to a light realm like that.

This is the nightmare portion of the dream, im unsure where this connects at to the rest but I just remember it,
I am in this dark place with nada, it has many rooms and corridors. I believe its some sort of futuristic asylum, there is one person that started chasing us like he wanted to kill us. I don't remember how we got rid of him.
There are many grotesque scenes taking place wherever there are people, I am scared I also have a strange sense of deja vu.
Thats it, I haven't had a violent dream like that in a long time but this one wasn't very vivid.

I am in a place that reminds me of a desert but its pleasantly warm and there is some plant life about.

I'm with one girl but there are many people about, we get our picture taken.
We are all waiting on a ride back to somewhere.

Suddenly a large elephant comes up, rumbling along. I am extremely excited as soon as I see him. He is yellow and greenish hue. Very warm spirit I can feel.

He lowers for us all to climb atop him, Im in this line moving along then on him. at first he starts gliding along Im not sure how. Then when we get away from the streets and start trekking towards a more forestry area.
He lifts up and the motion you expect to have while riding a elephant takes places. I am ecstatic.

Now I'm seeing from a higher view in the sky, The elephant has this mante ray flowy skin that is rippling in his movement like scales, sorta looks like he is gliding but I can see his legs from underneath. He is going up this cliff bouncing a long. its jungle and mountainy like.

Every time he jumps to and from a spot the previous spots crumbles from where his feet were. Not completely disintegrating but falling to a lower plane.

I remember seeing a small giraffe like creature at some point as well, before I got on the elephant.

Just posting some older dreams at the moment that ive previously recorded.

The atmosphere of the dream was quite different than any other I have experienced at the time I thought it was a premonition of sorts.

I was in this apartment parking lot. it seemed it was in south florida, the buildings were three stories high and off white. I'm standing in the parking lot with another person, I believe it is my boyfriend but I never look directly at him in the dream.

A black lady in a cop uniform holding a bag of groceries comes up to us we start having a conversation with her.
Suddenly we hear someone screaming and theres a guy on the top story dragging this woman out of a room by her hair, he's holding a gun.
He now is holding her by the hair over the railing of the balcony, then he drops her and shes dead.
Then he is downstairs suddenly in the parking lot with us and pointing the gun at us. the cop is doing the same at him, then he starts shooting he shoots the cop first then she shoots him as he shoots me.

I'm unsure if my boyfriend was shot in the dream. I fade out, then I'm looking in a mirror at the holes in my belly there are 9 shots exactly. Then I wake up and I have this pain in my stomach.
This was about 3 months ago. I told my boyfriend about this and he said He had the same dream ( at this time we were separated by about 4 hours) but the cop was male, the person with the gun was female and had thrown a baby over the railing instead.

Still unsure of what this meant.. I'm currently living with the person I shared this dream with all has been well in our relationship.

Once I had this experience, I had already woken up then went back to sleep with some music playing.

Suddenly I was in my living room, but the atmosphere was slightly darker. I am underneath a blanket of sorts. its giving me security. I don't see her but I know my mother is in her room.

I start having a floating sensation and I realize that I've left my body, I encourage this and start to float even higher it feels a tad wobbly though.
Then I reach my ceiling, im unsure of what to do for a moment and just feel the ceiling with my hands.

then It clicks I can go through the ceiling, so I start to push through it feels like some sort of matter, pretty dense it makes my hands feels uncomfortable.
Now im in this black space continuously pushing through, its a pretty slow movement.

I start to hear the music that I had left playing, I feel an opening at the top of the black space. I break through then I'm grabbing my sheets and pulling them down.
I'm awake again.

I don't really get why I woke up from that almost breakthrough, I;m sorta unsure what to call this, it felt like a dream where I thought I was having an out of body experience. But it was very vivid more so most of my dreams.

So its been years sense I've had this happen to me, I had been wanting it to happen again, ever sense I found it it can be used as a catalyst to have a Out of body experience.

Then it happened to me this morning! but the experience was a bit scary, I went to bed around 2 Am, then woke up around 9 for about 15 minutes then went back to sleep. Then awoke in sleep paralysis.
I could see my body and knew I was in sleep paralysis, the room I was in looked different than my room, reminded me of a hotel room. I couldn't move of course and I heard this raspy dark voice speaking from behind me and(this thing was saying something over and over but I can't remember what it was.) I could slightly see a dark... creature, could feel it behind me. I sent a large wave of telepathic energy at it to make it go away.

I could also see my boyfriend next to me but his body was black.
then he said something to me, which brought me back a little bit more than I woke myself up completely out of fear of the thing behind me.

After I woke up I realized I was just in between the physical and astral plane and that was a shadow creature that feeds off fear.
I really hope I can experience this again soon but not freak out and overcome the fear so I don't force myself into complete awareness.

Does anyone have any tips for inducing sleep paralysis or experiences with the shadow people? opinions on what they are?
