MischiefManaged Dream

I took a nap in the evening and as I was falling asleep I started to feel WILD sensations and see images floating around. I remembered that I had to go to Chichen Itza, so I tried to visualize the scene I wanted to enter. It took me quite some time to try to get it right, but eventually I found myself standing on the top of the train moving towards a big castle on a high speed.

The train stopped near the castle (blue brick walls, red roof), I jump on the ground and run to the woods nearby, visualizing the pyramid and expecting it to be behind the trees. I get out of the forest on the other side and see a small village. It’s a bright sunny day, a lot of people out, some street musicians are playing – quite a lively place.

Not so far away from the village I see the pyramid now (there is no beacon above it, but I didn’t set it, completely forgot about it). I come closer, observing it attentively, there are some people around it, then suddenly someone grabs my hand and the next second we’re both inside the pyramid. It looks like some sort of a labyrinth; walls are made of yellow stone and there is a lot of light, although I don’t see any lamps or candles.

I turn around to see the person who brought me in – it’s a young man, bold, he’s wearing a deep blue suit, the color similar to that of the castle walls. He has a very friendly appearance and it seems like he knows me. I tell him something, that I don’t remember now, and then ask “Did you see the others?”. “Who?”. “Dreamers” – I say. “I don’t know, I think there may be someone”. “We need to find them” – I say.

We start to run through the corridors and at this point my lucidity gets worse. Then he suddenly stops and says that I shouldn’t be here. I want to ask him why, but he’s already gone. Then I don’t remember good part of the dream – I only know that there was a crazy woman who tried to cut my hair off, remember getting rid of her.

Then I’m back in the corridor and I see 4 or 5 people – they look extremely familiar, but I can’t understand who they are. All of them instantly inform me that we should get out of the pyramid as soon as possible, because this dream is about to end.

We run away back through the woods to the castle, I’m trying to keep up with the crowd (idk why), but at the same time I want to leave a message to other people who may come here later. I take my wand and draw a big colorful face on one of the walls (in the dream that face meant something to me, don’t remember what) and also write something on the same wall (can’t recall). One of the girls tells me to hurry up, because I’m losing my braids. “Losing what?” I ask her and at this point I notice that I no longer look like myself, but like a man with a beard full of braids…And then I wake up.
