I had a fruitful LD summer. During this period, there were two goals I wanted to work towards whenever I became lucid. One was improving my flying, the other was more serious: when lucid, I wanted to be able to talk to my Dad who died of cancer a few years back. We had always had a very difficult relationship, and for many years I had been carrying around a lot of anger direct towards him, as my parents went through a very painful divorce when I was a child. For the record: I was aiming at accessing and interacting with my own memory of my Dad – not at contacting the spirit world! |

Try and take the shape off
Turn into the whole wide world I made up"
Wow – planecrash – I think I saw a pic of you playing the beer trumpet somewhere. I’m sure it sounds great. Must try sometime. |

I used to have a fear of snakes. I was so fearful of them. Anyways, snakes used to be my dream sign because all my dreams had them in it. Shorty after I found dream Views, i had a lucid dream where a big orange and white snake was on my bed. I decided i was going to defeat it. I picked the snake up ( it was sooo heavy and it struggled) and threw it right out of the window. I woke up and was feeling very good. Ever since then I have not been afraid of snakes. I can hold them now and even think the baby ones can be kinda cute |

"There are two types of people in this world, people who think there are two types of people, and people who don't."
Awesome! However, this idea has been around for a while. I recommend "Book of Dreams" by Sylvia Browne. She goes into further detail about this. Good read. |

I'm glad you were able to reconcile old hurts. Carrying around scars and resentment is a great burden that I wouldn't wish on anyone. The fact that you had the courage and determination to find a way to overcome it, and that you were able to go through with your idea is really great. Congratulations on your success! You've really got the idea. Confronting your fears (like Barbizzle's snakes ), and more importantly, talking things out when we have issues with the people that are important to us is a big part of, and a good way to move towards, living a healthier life. |

Yeah.
So it also works with snakes! I guess it just confirms how much can be done along these lines. Basically, I was trying to follow chapter 11 of EWLD. There is a passage there where SLB describes how he reacts when grabbed by “a huge, repulsive barbarian with a pockmarked face”. Suffice to say that he doesn’t whip out a lightsaber. |
