Dream healing is a form of energy healing. It works, and it's real. Raven also helped me with my neck when I got whiplash.

THANK YOU, RAVEN!



I remember the shaman dream as a different dream from the one with Loaf and the agents. I think I woke up, then went back to sleep.

We need to put this in the shared dreams thread.

As I fell back asleep my primary goal was to go to and heal MoSh's friend. I focused on maintaining my lucidity as I fell back asleep… and somehow I managed to do it. I found myself in another lucid dream…

I was in the biodome. I remembered what my goal was. I wondered where Nomad was. I remembered I had intended to take him with me. Maybe I would meet him at MoSh's inner world. After all, when I had left Nomad he had been with MoSh's mother. I opened a portal to MoSh's inner world and went through it…

On the other side I was in MoSh's inner world, outside his house. I looked around to see if I could find MoSh. I knew he didn't want to be bothered for this week, but he had said it was ok to come and get help finding his friend… as long as he was lucid enough to remember that. I went towards the house. The door opened and MoSh came out. He came over to see me. He seemed anxious to get rid of me. He said his friend was in Japan. I said I knew that. But I would need MoSh's help to open the portal. I told MoSh to just focus on his friend for a bit. I focused on opening a portal, but letting MoSh guide the destination. The portal opened. I told MoSh that was all I needed and I went through the portal. I didn't think to stop there and wait for Nomad…

On the other side of the portal I was in a strange place. It didn't really look that strange, it was more of a strange feeling. It felt cold. But not physically cold, it made me feel cold inside. I walked around a bit. There was a house there. The front door was open. It was a Japanese style house. I went inside the house, thinking being inside would help it feel warmer… but it didn't. If anything, the temperature inside the house was even colder than it was outside. I began looking through the house. My mind was getting lost in thoughts of the Japanese horror film, the Grudge… where it is a Japanese house that is haunted by a vengeful spirit. I was practically expecting the creepy woman or the kid to come out at any minute. I shook my head to clear those thoughts. I certainly didn't want to summon such things in here…

I ended up in a bedroom. On the bed there was a Japanese man. I remembered MoSh's description of finding his friend huddled, shivering, and having a blue tint to his skin. This man looked much better than that. He was huddled in bed, and his sleep was uneasy, but he wasn't shivering and his skin wasn't blue. As I was watching he was talking in his sleep. He was telling someone not to leave him, don't leave him there. I went over and quietly said I wasn't going anywhere. He must have heard my voice in his sleep, because he calmed down. I wondered who it was that had been about to leave him… I would do a healing spell.

The first healing spell that seemed appropriate was "Don't Give Up" by Josh Groban. The song played through, and golden energy wrapped itself around MoSh's friend like a soft blanket to keep him warm. After the song was done he seemed more relaxed than he had when I had entered. Less disturbed in his sleep. I was hoping he would be feeling better. Everything faded and I woke.

Hey, do you think you could find me in a dream and make me lucid?

I have tried this repeatedly in the past, but I've never been able to make it work. I wouldn't mind trying, maybe we could both focus on going the same place such as the biodome by the koi pond or somewhere else. I can stop by there before leaving for my nightly WILD and if anyone is there I will try to get you to do a reality check.

Haha. Awesome. Freddy's a recurring character in my dreams. I loved how badass and stylish he was in your dream. The whole worms-eating-the-woman bit was great.

I'll have to check this journal out, a bit more often.

Okay! How about...a parking lot?

Lol @ avatar Lucid_Guy.
Heres a tip. Just try and find Raven every chance you get, and try to make her appear in your dreams regularly. Even if its a DC, being regularly involved with her in the dream world could boost your chances. Seems to have for me.

I was standing outside of a large sports stadium. I looked up at it. I could hear a lot of people inside cheering. I knew there was a game going on inside. I went inside. My mother was with me. We were late for the game. It wouldn't be easy to find our seats. We found the entrance and went inside. The passages inside were actually rather confusing. We went up a couple of levels and found we were in a wide circular passage which I figured went all of the way around the stadium. From there we could find our section. We were beside section A right now. I looked at the ticket. It was for section 5. Now where is that from section A? I headed to the right. My mother followed me.

We kept going until we ran into someone who was searching the underside of the bleachers. I was surprised to see it was Batman. What was Batman doing in Tucson? I didn't know why he was here. I asked what was going on. He said the Joker had hidden five canisters of toxin under the stadium. He said they would detonate in half an hour, and then the toxic gasses would kill everyone in the stadium. He said he'd never find them in time. I said I would help. My mother didn't seem pleased with that. Batman did, however, seem very pleased. He said he had a special pair of goggles that would make the toxin seem to glow. That would make the canisters easier to spot. He said the toxin is very stable unless it is burned, so I had nothing to fear from it… but please hurry.

Batman left to the right and I left to the left. I put on the goggles. Nothing looked any difference. I left them on and headed on. I passed by section A again. I looked up into the bottom of the bleachers. I looked everywhere. I wasn't seeing anything. I continued, looking as carefully as I could but still moving as quickly as I could. I finally spotted a green glow. It was behind some boxes on the side of the passage. I picked up the canister and continued on my way. It wasn't very heavy. The glowing green liquid sloshed around in the canister. I wondered how much time had passed. I hurried. I had gone quite a way farther before I spotted a second canister. I retrieved that one, too and continued. Before long I ran into Batman. He also had two canisters. There was one missing! Where was it? I wondered if I might have missed one… maybe there was one I didn't see. Batman said there was one place left to look.

Batman headed down the hall and then into a door on the side. We got to an elevator. We got in and the elevator went down. When the door opened we were in the parking garage. Batman said it didn't go low enough. We got out and Batman pried open the elevator doors next to the one we had gotten out of. There was an empty shaft that went down several more levels. Batman slid down the cables hanging there. I tried to do the same, but I slipped and landed on my ass. I had expected that to hurt, but it didn't. I got up and was relieved I hadn't hurt myself.

Batman said he was checking a room to the right, I should take the left. I went into a room to the left. There were two boxes in the room and nothing else. The room was dark. I could barely see, but I knew I would see the glow of the toxin. I looked in the first box. My eyes were adjusting to the dark. I could see it was a box of toys. They were all toys I have had during my childhood. I looked at a couple of the, thinking back to when I'd had them IWL. I realized I was taking too long. I dug through them faster. I could come back for them later. I finally found the canister at the bottom of the box of toys. I grabbed it.

I ran back to the elevator and called to Batman that I had the canister. He came back and said we had to get back to the others. He climbed quickly up the elevator cables. I knew I couldn't do that. I jumped into the air and flew back up. I landed on the proper floor and followed Batman back to the other canisters. My mother was there, too. Batman put the fifth canister with the others. He opened them and started pouring a powder into them. He said it would neutralize the toxin. All that would happen is the stadium would smell like a mixture of raw sewage and chocolate cookies. That sounded gross to me. Everything faded and I woke.

I was in the living room with my mother. She was sitting in her chair watching television. I looked at the TV and saw it was an episode of CSI: Miami. Horatio Cain was on the screen now, talking to a suspect. He was telling the suspect that if the law couldn't get him, Horatio still would. The suspect said Horatio couldn't threaten him like that. Horatio said he just had. I didn't recognize the show so I decided to sit down and watch.

I went over to the couch and was about to sit when I spotted a scorpion in my seat. A big ugly one. I did a double take. I jumped about three feet, startled by the bug. I smashed it with a book. I didn't want to get close enough to capture it, and I couldn't leave it in the house. It might sting one of our dogs or cats. The bug made a strange squealing noise as it died. That seemed strange. I disposed of the dead scorpion and then returned to the living room.

My mom was now watching a different show. Now it was Ghost Whisperer. I definitely wanted to see that one. I looked in my seat carefully to make sure there weren't any bugs there. My seat was clear. A giant scorpion was on my foot. I didn't have any shoes on! I freaked and shook my foot hard to shake the bug off. It fell to the ground right next to a second scorpion. There was another one! I got a fly swatter. I tried hitting one of the bugs. It squealed, but that didn't seem to hurt them. My mom wasn't even seeming to notice my situation. I smacked one of the scorpions a few more times. Then it grabbed hold of the fly swatter. It quickly crawled along the handle of the fly swatter and onto my arm. I shook my arm in almost a panic… I had to get it off.

I was heading over to the sink. Maybe I could wash it off… drown it… when the bug fell off. It was near the door. There was a crack under the door. This was probably how the scorpions had gotten in. I would shove it out. I pushed it to the crack with the fly swatter. I pushed at it to get it under the door. It didn't want to fit. I shoved at it, and it squealed loudly. I kept shoving it. It seemed it should either go under or be squished… neither was happening. I finally stopped and the scorpion came out and came right at me. I scrambled out of the way and fell over on my back. I could feel a scorpion crawling on my head! I had to get it off! Having that thing on me was really freaking me out! I pulled it from my hair and threw it on the ground. I stepped on it. It squished with a loud squeal.

My mother was watching me now. She asked me what my problem was. I asked if she was blind. The room was filled with scorpions! Fucking SCORPIONS! I could feel them on me. On my back. I could feel it crawling. On my arms. Under my shirt somehow. I was expecting a sting at any moment. Many stings. I pulled my shirt off and told my mom to get them OFF of me! They were still on me, I could feel them. But I couldn't reach the ones on my back. My mom said I was overreacting. I was trying to reach the ones on my back when I woke. Even after I woke up in my own bed I could still feel scorpions crawling around on me as if they were in my bed now. The feeling didn't fade until my kitty came up, curled up beside me, and started purring. I had been seriously freaked out by those scorpions!

Note: My plans for tonight involved using dream healing on my mother for her sore right hip and on my friend WarriorTiger (DV) for a cold she has had. With these goals in mind, I used my light / sound machine for meditation and slipped into a WILD…

I was in my mother's room. She was lying on her left side in bed, revealing her right hip. Our rottweiler, Thor, was lying at the foot of the bed while our border collie, Shyanne, was lying near the head of the bed beside my mom. I focused on the song Voices from the Macross Plus soundtrack. The song began playing from no particular source, just from all around me. Golden energy formed in the air around me. I directed the golden healing energy through my mother's right thigh. I also gently massaged the area, focusing on making the healing energy penetrate all the way through to the sore places.

After I was finished there I immediately focused on going to find WarriorTiger. I opened a portal and stepped through it into WarriorTiger's bedroom. I am familiar with the room, so my mind was able to give me a clear vision of it… and of WarriorTiger lying in her bed sleeping. I focused again on the song Voices from the Macross Plus soundtrack. Golden energy again formed, and I directed it through WarriorTiger this time. The golden energy flowed through WarriorTiger. I directed it to carry the sickness out and replace it with the pure healing energy. The song played through and soon came to an end. I looked at WarriorTiger, still sleeping. I was hoping the healing had done what it was meant to do. Since I had completed both my goals, I allowed myself to wake up now.

Note: This non-lucid was very unusual in that I don't think I've ever killed someone for absolutely no reason in a dream. It took me a while to post this because I found it quite disturbing, but it was most likely a venting of negative energy… and it was just a DC that I killed, so no one really got hurt.

I was in a mansion. It was a very fancy and elaborate mansion. I was there with another woman. I felt I knew her, but I don't remember who she was. We were exploring the mansion. There were quite a few other people. I'm not sure what they were doing. I was in the living room with her. The room was extremely luxurious. A lot of deep reds and burgundies. And a lot of dark woods. It was quite beautiful. There was an ornate stairway leading up to an upper level. I climbed the stairs. The woman I was with was coming with me. I saw an elaborate chandelier that seemed to be hanging in mid air. Somehow that didn't trigger me to do a reality check…

The woman and I went up a long winding stairway, going up several levels before we got off. We started looking around. There were a few fancy bedrooms, and a bathroom that must have been as big as my whole house… It's while we were in that bathroom that I started behaving weirdly. Someone had left a large knife lying on the counter of the bathroom. Without any thought or feeling about what I was doing, I picked up the knife and stabbed the other woman as she was looking at one of the decorative faucets. Buried the knife up to the hilt in her back. There was blood. And the woman had a shocked look on her face. Apparently she wasn't ready to die yet, as she hurried out the bathroom door and down the hall in an attempt to escape.

I followed the woman as she was stumbling down the hall, still having absolutely no emotional reaction to the situation. The woman made it to the stairs we had come up. She paused to rest, supporting herself on the railing, breathing hard. It was then that I quickly lifted her up and pushed her over the railing. She fell down several stories and landed on the bottom floor in an awkward position with a sickening thud. I, still completely without any emotional reaction, looked down the stairwell at the body for a few minutes. The body didn't move. The fall must have finished the job.

I was thinking I had better move the body before it was discovered. Too late. A man came into view down below. He looked at the body and then looked up. I ducked out of sight just before he would have seen me. I set to cleaning up the trail of blood the woman had left from the bathroom to the stairs. The floor was tile, so the cleaning was easy. As long as no one sprayed with luminal, it would be impossible to detect. Now perhaps to lead the detectives to a false crime scene. I kept going up the stairs a couple more floors and found the top of the stairwell. There was a hologram projector there, and that was projecting a different elaborate chandelier to each level of the house somehow. I had a bit of the woman's shirt that had come off on my knife. I hooked that on a loose nail to make it look like she had fallen from up there. I figured it was a weak attempt, but it might stall for a bit. And my feelings about getting caught were about the same as my feelings about the murder… no feelings at all. I was just covering my tracks because it seemed like the thing to do.

I went back downstairs. I was standing at the top of the stairs on the second floor, looking down. People were going through down there. I waited. For a bit no one looked up. I wondered if they ever would. It seemed odd that I was standing in plain sight and yet no one saw me. Finally a man looked up and saw me. I asked him if he had seen the woman I had been with. He looked at me strangely. He said he was afraid he had some bad news about her… but maybe I should come downstairs to hear it. I was walking down the stairs when I woke.

wow that's Freaky!

I was in a car, a passenger driving down the street. It was the neighborhood of a house where I used to live. There were two other people in the car with me. My mother and MoSh. We pulled up the driveway and then into the carport of the house where I used to live. We all got out of the car. I looked around. My mom seemed to know exactly where she was going. She left immediately. MoSh gave me a strange look. I didn't know what was going on, either, so I shrugged and followed my mom.

My mom was in the driveway talking to several Japanese men. They were all speaking very quickly. They also seemed to be in an intense debate. After a bit of that they seemed to come to an agreement. MoSh and I went over to them. They had a strange setup. There was a box sitting on the ground, and then a pyramid shaped object on top of the box. One of the Japanese men was carefully balancing a small cube on top of the pyramid. With some effort he got it to sit there briefly before it toppled. There was someone there with a stopwatch. Apparently he had timed how long the cube had stayed balanced on the pyramid. Seemed weird to me… A hamster picked the cube off of the ground and carried it back to the top of the box.

My mom did the balancing thing next. She was very careful about positioning the small cube on top of the pyramid. She didn't take as long as the men, however. She got the cube to balance, and it stayed there… and stayed there… and stayed there… until it finally fell to the ground. There was no doubt that my mother had balanced it longer, no need for the timing. The Japanese men were annoyed. They dropped a few curse words before piling into a car like clowns and then driving down the driveway, then they were gone.

My mom said everything in the house was ours. She said the main thing was the cash, though. We need to collect the cash. We all went into the house through the carport door. We were now in the area where my grandmother had spent much of her time. The large family room. Now there was very little furniture. An old couch was all there was. There was a stack of cash on the couch. My mom grabbed the money and then asked MoSh and me what we were waiting for. She said those assholes would be back, they wouldn't take losing lightly.

MoSh and I headed through the kitchen and into the other side of the house. In my room there was a stack of cash on my bed. I picked it up and flipped through it. MoSh found some money in the closet. He asked what my mom was going to do with all the money. I said I had no idea. He asked if she knew how much there was. I said I didn't know. He said maybe we could take a bit for ourselves. I said maybe, but I couldn't be sure. We picked up several more stacks of cash and then went into my mom's old room, the old office / spare room, and then into the living room. We had found quite a few stacks of cash. Surely a lot of money. My mom was there with a plastic bag. She said to hurry and put the money in it and we would get out of here. Worry about being paid later. MoSh and I put our money in the bag and then we all headed outside.

Outside, we were no longer alone. There were several black cars, limos, blocking the driveway. My mom cursed to herself. A man stepped out of one of the cars. A Japanese man. He had a gun aimed at us. He said we should hand over the money. My mom muttered that they were going to kill us anyway. MoSh changed into a huge snake… a cobra.

The Japanese man was clearly shocked. The huge cobra slithered down the driveway, picked up the limos in its huge mouth, and tossed them aside as if they were mere toys. The man who had been standing outside with the gun was slack jawed. The gun dropped from his hands. MoSh turned around and hissed loudly in his face. That seemed to break his paralysis and he ran directly towards my mother and me. I could clearly see a dark wet spot spreading between his legs. He had pissed his pants! I couldn't help but laugh at that. He looked at my mom, then at me, and then ran off into the desert in a seemingly random direction. MoSh turned back to a human.

"Why don't you ever do something like that?" my mom asked me, indicating MoSh, "It would do you well to turn into a snake now and then."

I rolled my eyes and headed down the driveway. Everything faded to black and I woke.

@ the ending line from you mom!

EPIC LULZ.

Weird synchro: I watched American Psycho with Angel on Sunday (or Saturday) in which the killer chases a woman down a square-spiral staircase, and drops a chainsaw on her, killing her.

So, do you think that was your mom or a DC?

I don't think I have ever shared a dream with my mom, so I am thinking she was most likely a DC.

Note: My plans this night were to go meet up with MoSh and then go share a dream with a dreamer from another forum, Lonewolf. I am just getting over the last of my cold, still have some congestion, but I decided I'd try for my WILD anyhow and make it last as long as I could. I used my light / sound machine and slipped into a WILD…

I was in the biodome on the moon. I looked around. My first stop would be to go see MoSh. He has a better connection with Lonewolf, so maybe it would work better if he opens the portal. Nomad was there with me. He said he wanted to go with me on my shared dream with Lonewolf. I didn't see a problem there, so I said I was going to see MoSh first, and then we were going to go find Lonewolf. I opened a portal to MoSh's inner world and we both went through it…

On the other side I was in MoSh's inner world. Nomad and I went over to see MoSh. MoSh asked why Nomad had come. I said he wanted to share a dream with Lonewolf, too. MoSh seemed hesitant about something. I was having trouble breathing. MoSh said something, but I was now focused on trying to breathe. Damn it! Was my body getting stuffed up already? Was this going to wake me up so soon? I made a point to breathe through my mouth. Even if my physical body was congested I should still be able to breathe through my mouth… instead of extending the dream, however, I only succeeded in making myself cough… which woke me up.

Lonewolf dreams with mainly the people in the Raven circle at his forum.

oh yeah... That's when nomad wanted to get dream drunk with me.

I was driving in my car at night. I knew where I was and where I was going. I was driving through the northern part of my home state, Arizona. I was heading home to Tucson. I kept going, not seeing any reason to do a reality check. I was getting tired. Maybe I should stop for the night… My mom would be expecting me home… but it would be better to just call her from a hotel and tell her I was too tired to go on rather than get in a massive wreck on the way home. I watched the side of the road for a while until I spotted a nice little motel on the side of the road. I pulled off of the main road and up to the motel.

The motel was very nice. Each room was its own little cottage. I went to the office and paid, the price was very reasonable. I then followed the man to my cottage. It didn't seem odd that he was taking me to the cottage rather than just giving me a key and a room number. We arrived at the cottage fairly quickly. He unlocked the door and handed me the keys as we went inside.

The inside of the cottage was amazing. It looked like something I might see in a five star resort! A huge, luxurious bed, beautiful furniture, there was a computer hooked up on a desk with a sign that said internet access was high speed and free, a small refrigerator with a sign that said the drinks inside were free… wow… even most expensive hotels usually charge for the drinks from the mini-fridge! I also noticed that the inside of the room was much larger than it had appeared from the outside.

Looking at all of this I thought maybe this was all a sign… Maybe I was dreaming… I pinched my nose and tried to breathe. I couldn't breathe with my nose pinched. Damn. I must be awake. Oh, well. I would just enjoy the room for the night. I let go of my nose. I still couldn't breathe. But why? I should be able to breathe fine now… It felt like my sinuses were really congested. I looked around the room for some tissues. I didn't see any. A luxury room with free internet and drinks but no tissues? I asked the man where the tissues were. He said those cost extra. That seemed odd. I was going to go ahead and pay for tissues when my congestion woke me up.
