Alien Dreams

I was going to start a new discussion about my recent recurring dreams about flooding. I wanted to see if others were dreaming about rising water as well and then I read Cait's post. In the dreams I am usually near where I grew up, about three miles East of the Hudson River about 2 1/2 hours (by car) North of NYC. Its as if the river suddenly gets a whole lot wider. In the last episode a huge rapid rush of water comes out of the South following the path of the estuary only much much bigger than what seems possible.

I have also had my own extraterrestrial experiences; dreams, trance experiences, and interactions with small luminous flying spheres. I totally believe in "their" existence but think to define them is extremely complex. For myself and, from what I have gathered, for many others they intercede as teachers nudging us along toward personal and planetary "shamanic initiation" or heightened eco-consciousness and galactic consciousness. Like the shaman's in "sky world" being torn apart and remade by beings on spirit shields, their presence in dream experiences of catastrophe and Earth changes seem to tear at our identities and shift our consciousness.

The imagery of the cave-pool also really resonated with me as it is a traditional and ancient place of sanctuary and sacred ceremony, the womb space were we can go to access the energy of the sacred feminine.

I was wondering if other like-minded individuals were having dreams like this! Most of mine center around some sort of mass destruction. They're all different: in one, all civilians had been shepherded into underground prison facilities where we never got to see the light of day. An alien tried to kidnap me in a particularly unsettling dream. Others have included fires, mushroom clouds, even bees swarming the city- though not, oddly enough, flooding. Perhaps because I grew up in a landlocked state.
I think that we're all ready for something big to happen. When I dream of the apocalypse, it's never sad or terrifying- I get so motivated to do something, so excited that the change is happening and the prophecies are coming true, that I'm almost disappointed when I wake up. Does anyone else feel this way? Sometimes, the surface-level stagnancy of our world is nearly intolerable. Dreams are a wonderful reprieve, and perhaps they fill another role as well: preparation. After experiencing natural disasters or nuclear wars or widespread panic in dreams, perhaps, when they happen in "reality," we'll realize that all we have to do is... wake up! (and if not that, at least we'll sort of know what's going on.)
Of course, this ties in with my theory that this isn't reality... couldn't we just be dreaming a dream right now? Aren't we? I just want to wake up...

Amanda,
That is a deep one. A dream within the dream. This seems important: "I had to let myself see what really exists rather than the disguises my dreams provide". This seems to be saying how dreams are truly symbolic and not literal. The being says the world is ending, but everything will be fine. So, of course, it's not really the end of the world in the literal sense.

In the 2012 dream I posted in the other discussion, the sun/planet collision sends fragments towards the earth, but no destruction happens, it's more about transformation.

Thanks for sharing.

I just recently saw the movie "knowing" with nicholas cage. After seeing the movie i felt dizzy as it was as if a message was being relayed to me through this movie. It is much like the dreams you are describing here. In the movie there is an imminent catastrophe that will eliminate mankind and there are aliens working to send messages to the ones who can recieve them.

Both myself and several of my friends in the Pacific NW have had apocalyptic themed dreams. In many of these dreams, we have been scouts. Not boy/girlscouts, but literal scouts. People leading groups of other people into deep wilderness to escape some sort of apocalyptic scenario.

The frequency and intensity of these dreams have diminished for all of us since Barack Obama has become president. However, they still happen some times. My hummingbirds/clouds of light dream also posted in this discussion group is one of the most recent and happened just before the solstice.

We have struggled with how literal to take the dreams. Are we actually preparing people to survive a literal physical apocalypse? Or are we helping other spiritually to be ready for a change of consciousness?

Both, maybe....

David Downey Jr.! I would love to hear a few of your songs. And how do you email them?, because I have a lot of music I've recorded over the past several months, but I am too broke to mail CDs to friends around the country! Look forward to hearing (from) you.

For quite some time I have practiced and explored the world of lucid dreams. This is technique where you become conscious of the fact that you are experiencing a dream state of awareness. It has been used throughout civilizations history to have visions and commune with spirits. And is a common technique in shamanic cultures. Currently because of the widespread popularity of shamanism it has seen an upsurge in popularity in certain circles. When one is lucid dreaming you are able to control your actions in the dream state and explore the realm of the dream. Much like exploring our waking world. Of course the laws of the dream world are quite different than our ordinary state. You can fly and the scenery changes quite frequently and dramatically, there is a lot of symbolism and others whether they are spirits or people can join your dream.

From the beginning of my lucid dream explorations I have been contacted by what I call ghosts. The experience begins as a object or figure which doesn't quite fit in to the dream-scape. Often it happens around the image of a door or passageway. A rift begins in the dream, as if the scenery is rippling or tearing, I feel a pull kind of like a magnet or a sound like a sonic boom. Often it is accompanied by these beings that appear and communicate with me. They are often people who claim to be deceased or half human half animal beings. Occasionally they appear as aliens. Little brown ones with the classic big oval eyes.

I will quickly describe a recent encounter with these beings:
I dreamed I was standing on a vast desert plain with tan dust swirling around me in the wind. I heard a noise that sounded like a jet planes sonic boom, and turned to see a stone arch way in the middle of the desert. As I watched the archway a giant snake or dragon the size of a freight train came through the archway. I ran to get out of the way and as I turned back I could see its massive eye staring at me as it passed. Its skin looked fluffy or downy and was sand colored I could see that it was made of the same dust that was swirling around me

I began to run away terrified of being run over by this huge beast. As I ran I came to a large sand dune and began to run up it. My legs felt like they where full of lead and I had a hard time lifting them. At this point I realized that I was in a dream and became lucid and began to run up the dune with ever increasing strides until I was bounding like a dear. I had that exhilarating feeling that is accompanied with lucid dreams and began to explore my dream. I found a path down the other side of the dune which lead to a small river shallow enough to wade in. I could see the stony bottom of the stream and fearless splashed into the current. I could see lots of little fish swimming around my feet and they moved as if they were one. As I waded along I cam to a blockage in the stream. It looked like a beaver dam. I decided to dive under the water and see what was there. As I tried to surface on the other side I came up against a hairy mass that wouldn't let me through. It was like a layer of dirty ice on the surface of the water. I turned around and resurfaced back where I started and continued to explore the dream. This went on for some time until I slipped back into a regular dream in wich I was in a school then riding on a bus that I forgot something on. I went back to the bus to find what I had forgotten, but their was so much other peoples clutter that I couldn't find it. I left the bus and got in my car with my wife and drove away. Here is where we get to the alien part...

As I drove away I saw a flat rectangular ship hovering just over my car and following me. It was A luminescent white color with red lights on its surface. I felt the familiar magnetic like pull that usually accompanies the other beings when they manifest in my dreams. I asked my wife who was riding with me if she could see them and if she believes me now? She couldn't. I sped away to try to lose it but it chased me. Suddenly up in front of me there was a figure pushing a bus across the road in front of me to block the way. I drove around it and continued to drive across a field through ruts of mud which made it increasingly harder to get away. I came to the edge of a forest where the way abruptly ended at a cliff with a train track at the bottom. My wife fled away down the tracks but I stopped and decided to face my pursuers. I was no longer in my car and I turned and looked behind me and saw three little brown aliens looking at me. They where dressed in what looked like raggy workman's clothes. At this point I realized again that I was dreaming and became lucid. The aliens seemed very benign and peaceful and had the same quality as little children. As I looked into their eyes, which looked just like the eye of the dragon from earlier that night, they asked why I was running? Their mouth didn't move but I could hear their voice in my mind. In reply, I asked why they were chasing me. They answered in a matter of fact way that it was because I asked them to be here. At this point I was very relieved and felt very comfortable with my new friends. There was a forth alien with them who looked human. He was a tall white guy with blond short hair and a beard and strange tattoo's on his shoulders. He said that he was from a distant star system. I asked if humans could mate with beings from his world. He laughed and said that the parts don't fit...Its kind of ironic that this is the first thing that me as a human would think to ask and not something deeper. He then said that our future was in the stars and not to worry about the coming changes. "look at them as growing pains." was his exact words. The dream ended at this point and I woke up.

I know this was long winded but I felt it was relevant to what you are asking about. I don't know if this is prophetic in some way but if it was a real contact it left me feeling good about aliens, these ones anyway. And made me more hopeful of our future.

I have had some contact with unfriendly beings but they are usually monstrous in some way. And I have had end times dreams too. I feel that much of this feeling of anxiety that manifests in our dreams about a destructive end comes from our collective mind which we all can tap into when dreaming. We can all feel it, this sense of unknown about the future. So fear manifest its self in our collective unconscious. try to look at this as a wake up call. Dreams have a lot of power in our lives. If we can think positive thoughts about our future together here on Earth and not give into fear driven media, crazed with mass destruction and chaos conspiracy's about 2012 we may have a chance. If these are the end times let it be the end of a way of being that is out of harmony with the Earth and each other. Try to look at our times as a time of great and positive change for humanity. The more we do it the more it will manifest through our dreams and into our reality.

Peace,
Jeremy
