International Oneironaut Shared Dreaming Journal

I am at Kulkulkan, weeping, sitting at the top of the pyramid.

Raven flies down and asks me what's wrong.

FUCK 2012. Everything's falling apart. I hate my waking life. I just want to live here forever.

Raven says nothing, but sends healing energy to me. I stop crying, and stand up and give her a hug.

I miss you, I miss MoSh... I am so frustrated with my broken body in Wakeworld.

But, we're here now, Nomad. Come.

Raven opens a portal to the Healing Glen, and we step through. We are in a lovely glen in a deciduous/pine forest in late winter. The Frost Giant steps through, parting trees like cane stalks.

"The winter is almost past, brother. Spring is coming soon."

I collapse on the grass in exhaustion. MoSh, Tigress, and Pablo appear, and I feel them healing me as tears silently pour out of my closed eyes. I hear music... Bakara... everyone is playing music. I get up, and we take turns healing each other.

We walk back to the Frost Giant's Cave. Joseph is there. He is now a young teenage boy, about 15. He smiles at me, and turns into a giant eagle. I applaud and laugh. He turns back into a boy, and suddenly bursts into tears. "Thank you for rescuing me from the nightstalker demon." He grabs Raven and I and hugs us tightly.

"Everyone, come by the fire, I made some stew," says the Frost Giant. "We will reforge ancient bonds as we share food, drink, and stories."
