International Oneironaut Shared Dreaming Journal

So I decided to try and practice to get to Chichen Itza before our next shared dream attempt - so that I was a little more prepared, and because I was (I think) successful - I wanted to post it up here.

I get up in the middle of the night after having some weird dream about a theme park and find I can't sleep, so I go down stairs and switch on my computer - just as an after thought I do an RC and read a bit of writing, I then look away and read again - and it reads something completely different! Damn it feels so real but I'm dreaming! So I go out of the house and decide I would try to fly to Chichen Itza (as making a portal last time failed) So I chant 'Chichen Itza' repeatedly, everything goes black, I can not even see my hands and I'm scared I'm gonna wake, so I decide I've flown enough and land .

I find myself in the middle of some ruins, some metal dividers (like you get in theme parks) divide some areas off. I look around me, it is dark, and there are ruin but none look big enough to be the Chichen Itza temple, it does kinda feel like a theme park - like it is some ancient ruins but it has been re-designed on top for tourists (after I woke I found this to be partly true)

Kinda like this:





The funny thing is, up until now I thought Chichen Itza was just one pyramid structure - and after I had this dream I realized it was a much bigger area.

So I'm walking around some grounds of Chichen Itza and all of a sudden somekind of masked man pops up from nowhere, he is wearing a mask and looks very tribal, possibly Myan (this pic reminds me of him, also found at Chichen Itza)



He chases after me, I try to be relaxed and tell him I come in piece, that I'm just looking around, but I notice I also have a mask on of some sort - he cannot see my true face so he is scared. And another starts to chase after me and then the dream ends.
