May as well journal my dream from the night before last, it was a DOOZIE!
Full of suspense, drama, lighting, special effects and characters. What did I have just before falling asleep?.....Oh yeah, Baileys Irish Cream for the festive holiday spirit! tee hee For several years, I have had recurring dreams about a variety of different scenarios, none of which seem to have anything to do with eachother, but recurring in different dreams throughout many years of my life. A few of the recurring dreams have faded and some new recurring dreams have taken over.
One of the strongest recurring scenarios always has to do with elevators. I haven't figured out why yet. The surrounding scene set up is always the same, some very large, darkly decorated, dark carpet, dark textured wall paper, dark wood furniture and darkly lit Hotel or Casino.....though my mind thinks it may be a casino, I have not ever seen a game area yet.
Everytime I am in this recurring dream, I am making my way to another set of elevators on different floor levels. This time, I was accompanied by a lady friend. She was shorter than me, in fact, very short. She had a short, cute, spunky hair cut. She was wearing a black, very stylish, modern expensive trench coat that covered her outfit and went down to mid-calf. She was wearing blunt stumpy black expensive closed toe pumps. Her make up was very classic and clean. At one point, she turned to me to discuss something and I noticed one of her false eyelashes was peeling off, so I reached out and grabbed it and she stood there while I put it back in place on her eye.....weird..... She smiled at me and somehow I got the impression that she looks up to me in my make up abilities....like she has followed my style for years and no matter how cute and classy she is, she let me know that she learns a lot from me....again, weird.
But we both also knew that I was there to learn from her. This is the first time over all these years that I have been accompanied in this Hotel/elevator recurring dream with a friend on a "purpose." She is one of my 'guides' and she had a lesson for me and we had to accomplish something in this 'Hotel.'
We turned and entered a dark hall, very dark. At the end of the dark hall were a set of double elevators side by side. As we walked deeper into the dark hall, I felt an energy source entering my core. Just as I was about to speak up and let her know that I could feel something, it very quickly got stronger, so strong in fact it felt as if it were trying to possess me. I started to accidentally let a fear sensation take hold of me, but quickly realizing my fear, I dismissed it and let the energy know that I am afraid of nothing. I just went with it and let it reside in my core.
She was just a step or two ahead of me, and I then spoke up to let her know what I was feeling, "There is an energy here. It is not good. There is a bad entity trying to take over." She reminded me to not be afraid and for no instance ever let this thing take over. She had more to show me. Her lips never moved, but she communicated to me that we were going to get in an elevator and encounter more energy that I need to see.
As we got to the end of that dark hall and were about to get on an elevator, long wood planks from the ceiling broke off and were hurled at my head with great force. I put up my left arm and blocked on, then another came. Something was trying to kill be and prevent me from entering the elevator. I blocked everything that was hurled at me, some coming right straight for my face. In my mind, I just kept telling whatever it was that I am afraid of nothing and it can never hurt me...I am here to do a job/accomplish something and it's not going to stop me.
We got in the elevator and she was so happy, so excited to share with me the good news that I passed the first test! She said she knew I would sense the fear but I would not let it take over and she knew I could fight off the evil energy that was there...she let me know that she led me right to the bad entity on purpose. In that elevator, she let me know there was more to show me, more to come, but not just yet.
Next scene, we were on a higher level of the Hotel and it was a huge cathedral scene of a nearly empty 'church' and a gathering of folks and band members were down front and center on a raised stage, practicing for the evening's event.
As she and I entered the grand open cathedral, most of them all looked up at me and the lady by my side was grinning from ear to ear as if she led me there on purpose and they were expecting me. She wandered off to the side, while I made my way straight down to the front and center to join the group rehearsing.
I began singing so loudly, Amazing Grace, and I sang it so beautifully and powerfully and they others were joining me in harmony and it grew more intense and loud and I was singing so loud and others were shouting and jumping up and down. Most of the people there were African American and the young boy immediately to my left was the lead singer of that group (until I showed up and he let me be louder!) and the boy and I were singing together.....the song came to an end and there was an uproar of applause and praise that I had arrived.......I looked to the side of the stage and my cute little blond guide was clapping so much and grinning for me and almost in tears. I think that was the point I woke up,....I don't recall anything else.
I started journaling my dreams, again, a couple days ago and as I was sitting here with my morning coffee thinking about when I'm going log last night's dreams and how long it was going to take and how tired my hand would be from all that writing, it dawned on me, "OH! Journal my dreams everyday in my blog!"
Duh . . . . . :-) The images were very vivid so I thought it would be a great idea to sketch out what I saw....but I am a terrible artist, maybe just impatient, but this morning's dream log will not contain any images.
The Yacht club and the dead Boy's Parents: There were 3 short stories that I can recall. The first was of me working at a Yacht club, doing exactly what, I am not sure. I was sitting at a booth across from a gentleman whom also works there. I believe this guy just happened to pop into my dream because I ran into him at the store before and he is an acquaintance of a few years, not any particular symbolic meaning. We were on a break from work I guess and just yucking it up at the booth, enjoying the day. We were sarcastically joking and laughing and he said, "You better be careful or I won't take you sailing on my yacht and give you your xmas present." In my mind, I could see that he got me a nice simple pair of pearl earrings. I replied sassy, "I have my own money."
Next scene, this very tall, dark haired lady that I have never seen before approaches us at the booth with a very somber looking couple, husband and wife, also that I have never seen before. The husband and wife were so very clear, every detail, every stitch of clothing, her eyes, her haircut, even their shoes....it is etched in my brain.
As soon as the tall lady approached me, with a clipboard in hand, as if she were a cruise director at the yacht club, the tall lady looked at me and I interjected before she spoke, "Oh yeah, the parents of the boy, I know.." I already knew it was about some little boy that had died and the parents were coming to see me about contacting him on the other side.
The tall lady was not at all put off by the fact that I just jumped in talking and she looked at me, then asked, very matter of fact, "Are you still working with people?" Even though it was a very general question to say out loud, I knew exactly what she meant. She wanted to know if I am still doing readings for people and contacting their loved ones on the other side. I didn't even answer her, and from there I don't recall anymore. My mind went on to the next dream (I guess). If that tall lady was an employee of the yacht club, I wish she were wearing a name tag!
Basketball: This one was not so much a story, but a quick snipet. I was in a gym all dressed out in basketball gear. This was not for school, not looking back on my youth and not for a local community center. This was as if I were a professional basketball player. A few of us were waiting to get called into the game. It was co-ed for some reason. There was a significant male player that I was visiting with, kina razzing him like, "I could take you. I could beat your game." That kind of stuff. He was smiling and laughing. His face was very clear. I knew he was someone's brother, but I don't know who. He popped up later in another dream after I had woke up and fallen back asleep, and in that later dream, I remember seeing him and saying, "Oh, you're the brother." But I don't recall any more of that guy.
Hon Wui: In this last dream before the morning alarm went off, I was in a restaurant scene. I was supposedly taking 'Hon Wui's' place in some school Prom, as she had other responsibilities she had to take care of that came up last minute before the Prom. I went to the restaurant with another female friend that I have no idea who she was. I didn't even get a look at her face nor interact with her much.
When we got to the restaurant, there was no Maitre D' standing there, he was off to the side, seating an elderly couple for dinner. I grabbed the reservation book myself and began looking for Hon Wui's reservation. I was surprised to see 3 Hon Wui names on three different lines! Each line that had a reservation for Hon Wui, the name was scribbled over and over, very bold with ball point pen, so that the names were the only ones jumping off the page of the reservation book. I knew immediately that something about the name Hon Wui must be very important and I had better remember this name....something will reveal itself later. I don't know how I knew this, I just did. Also, one of the 3 Hon Wui names was spelled different, it was Hon Tsui. To me this meant that no matter how I spell or misspell the name, I know what it is and I better remember it somehow.
Finally the Maitre D', an average height, slender Asian man came to seat us with the rest of our 'Prom party' waiting at a table...we couldn't see them yet. As we were making our way through the restaurant, I noticed how dark and narrow and windy pathways it was. Not depressing, just everything was dark colors and dark lighting, as if on purpose. Each turn and pathway was narrow and we were passing lines and lines of people either lined up along walls for whatever reason, I don't know and there were rows of elderly people sitting in chairs along another wall. One lady looked up and smiled at me.
As we turned the last corner there was a private dining room off in the far right corner at the farthest point across the room. At that point everything continued in slow motion. The 3 of us walked toward that room in slow motion. I could see our arms swinging back and forth in slow motion, the restaurant music coming from speakers above us was playing in slow motion. I could see no one in that room as we approached, just wide open double doors with brilliant blinding white light streaming out as if the sun itself were in that room shining. As were drew closer and closer, I began to feel anxious in anticipation of what I would possibly encounter in that bright light......just before I reached a point where my next step would put me in a spot to be able to peer into the room, I was jolted awake by the morning alarm!
Instantly I heard very clearly and very loud in my head, "Hold on tight to your dream." I didn't go to bed hearing this song, I don't recall even hearing that song recently, but it was just put in my head when I awoke to my alarm. I quickly jotted down the 3 titles of my 3 little dream stories and knew I would recall detail later, maybe not all the detail, but enough to journal them today.
And that's it for this morning's recall of last night's dreams. Stay tuned for tomorrow morning's dream log. (image: goog'd 'dark restaurant')
Stocking stuffers are so fun to give and to shop for because you can find so many interesting gadgets in the smaller, handy size.
A perfect handy gadget that is a great gift for everyone in your family and friends is a new knife. Everyone loves and appreciates a fine knife, 5.11 Tactical Knives, and they come in handy more often than we realize, until we are without that handy dandy knife!
I could have used a new knife this afternoon when we were setting up our Christmas tree.
A great website to stock up on all your knife gifts is LA Police Gear, 5.11 Tactical Knives. Right now, they are offering free shipping with the purchase of any 5.11 knife. That is an exceptional deal.
You can order on-line, by phone or fax, check an estimated shipment date of arrival and even check the status of your order directly on their website. When you choose your item and start shopping, the website offers below your selected item, related merchandise to offer with your order that you may not have realized you need until you see their wide variety of great offers to choose from! I am having fun creating my own wish list. I think I better get myself a little something while I'm here!
I mentioned in my last post that I let the neighbors' cat in today. We are in the middle of a storm, it is supposed to snow this weekend, the cat was skin and bones and starving and this is not the first time I have found it like this. (update: dropped off the cat at the pound Sat. morning:-)
The dog that the cops finally took away earlier this week was back this morning. How did they let them get that dog back? Me and another neighbor helped catch the dog, she would only come to me because she is scared of men.
I told the cop that many of us neighbors believe she is scared of men and acts the way she does because the guy that lives here beats on her.....I haven't seen it, but she obviously displays signs of abuse. We told the cop that this dog has been running around loose for months, and many times hungry. I told the cop that if she gets this dog back, it will end up running around again, and sure enough, there she was in my driveway this morning, probably hoping I would take her in.
This is the second time this cat has come to my house, so hungry. This time it is worse than before. When I opened the door, the cat came right to me and I scooped it up and was shocked at how light and boney this big cat is. It's a very nice, sweet, large cat, so it is difficult to tell from a distance how starved it was, but as soon as I picked it up, I set it right at the bowl of catfood and kept my cats away. My cats were very nice to respect the distance. Funny how animals just seem to sense when another is in need and let it eat and not pick on it.
This cat WOLFED down so much food, that when you feel it's belly, you can literally feel the SHAPE of the catfood bits through the skin and it's belly is like a distended baseball now, even bigger, it is so sad.
THEY ARE DEFINITELY NOT GETTING THIS CAT BACK FROM ME!!!
Time for a new post. The weather is horrible today. It is very cold, the wind is blowing and we are supposed to get our first snow of the season this weekend.
I am stuck inside all day, well, not really, but it gives me a good reason to either be really lazy couch potato, or surf the internet all day, or both and share my day with new friends on a brand new social networking site! The first page I checked out on this site, acobay, was the FAQ, as I always do on new sites. That gives me a pretty good idea of what questions they have accumulated from various people over time before venturing to launch their site more world-wide.
I found an interesting question and answer about twins that discovered eachother through the site. Maybe that can happen again, or a long lost friend.
I made a quickie account and I think my first search of commonalities to search for networking will be stray cats. I kid you not, I just had to interrupt my blog because my parrot alerted me to a cat approaching the door. It is my downstairs neighbors' cat, so, not exactly stray. But I let it in because this is the second time I have found it so hungry, skin and bones and guess what - this time they're not getting it back! The cops were just out here earlier this week because they let their dog run all around the neighborhood. With the storm and snow on the way, there is now way I will turn this cat back out.
Maybe I can connect with others that have had to deal with a neighbor neglecting to take care of their pets. Or, maybe on this gloomy day, I had better use the site to connect on a more positive note, like music and dancing!
My guy is a big burly manly man! But if he were an itty bitty little cutie, I would put him in a festive stocking because he is the sweetest lil' xmas gift!
He's scoring points big-time, and I don't think it's just because he's bucking for a great gift. But, shoot, that gets me thinking.......what the heck am I going to get him that will be soooooo great??? ME! ha ha (funny video inside) Since we have made the big move-in together, there have been the predictable bumps in the road to resolve. We're navigating life's challenges pretty well, I think. There has been one big fat elephant in the room that we sometimes do address and sometimes let the sleeping dog lie. But the issue was an issue again last night. I made no big deal, I said nothing.
This morning I found the sweetest hand-written note he left for me before he headed out to work and earlier I got 2 great messages from him on my cell, one nice voice mail message and one great text follow-up message.
WOW - for a guy to take initiative and jump into action to resolve something without poking, prodding, nagging or even getting a clue from the woman - for the guy to do this on his own....that's pretty damn cool and I'm a very lucky girl. Yep, I've got a good one! :-) (no, i'm not going to type what the big phat elephant is)
Here's something you don't see everyday. A website that offers access to federal inmate documents.
I don't know any inmates that I would want or need to lookup documents about, but I plugged in a couple different fictitious names just to see how it works and what might possibly come up, if someone with that generic name happened to be a federal inmate.
I was bumped to a different website, but maybe it will work for you, or maybe it just does that when it doesn't find a good name match. Why would anyone need to look up federal inmate records anyway? I guess if you are following a case, rather someone's record, and perhaps need to know how their sentencing is going and when or if they are about to be released and what type of documents are being prepared in the meantime.
Do mirrors exist anymore? When is an orange not an orange? When it's splattered all around bleach blonde lockes. Awww, but look how cute, her white apple matches her purity dress. I wonder if her chastity belt is a rainbow studded surprise! Oh, and this image has nothing to do with this random post, and that's not dear lil BbbBrit. Pic just erked me and I want to slap her with a big old fashioned heavy metal mirror :-) sweet
After running a few errands in town, I am home, done for the day (outside the house anyway) and it's 12:02pm. Know what that means? A certain tall drink-0-not-water is going to assist me with the rest of my errands today, 'absolute'ly. I have to move some furniture to make room for Mel's one last piece of piece-0 that's we're going to squeeze into this love-shack.
It's 12-2'o8 and I'm going to start celebrating the holiday season. Afterall, xmas day starts with a '2' and it's never 2 early 2 have fun. I'll tippy sippy, dance around 2 Britney's new music as it's her birthday 2day & hay, it's exercise! I declare 12-2 a national holiday: National Britney Dance Party Day! Yay! (no, I haven't had a drink yet:-)
"Our margin of safety is shrinking, not growing", is a statement taken from a report from a bipartisan commission in a study being briefed Tuesday to Vice President-elect Joe Biden.
The report scheduled to be publicly released Wednesday, suggests the Obama administration bolster efforts to counter and prepare for germ warfare by terrorists. "The United States should be less concerned that terrorists will become biologists and far more concerned that biologists will become terrorists," the report states. From Foxnews.com, read the report here Sad video inside..
Here's some exciting new fun for the avid reader, anime/manga! Read MangaFutariEcchi for Ladies. This is so cute. I have heard of Japanese Anime, but haven't taken the time to really get into it and read any. Now I'm hooked. I can't wait to share this with my guy when he gets home tonight! This will be fun.
My daughter used to watch Japanese Anime cartoons when she was little, and I enjoyed watching them with her. THESE are NOT for the children! But these are very fun and entertaining to share with your 'husband'. Click the link to the Manga website to find out just how naughty and nice 'Mrs.' has been while her husband is away at work! There are brilliantly sketched characters posing for innocent sexual advertisements, charts and graphs on sexual statistics, tutorial discussions amonganime friends on just 'how' to have sex and eachothers' techniques.
The comic strips walk you through a visual experience of an average fictitious day in the life of anime young married couple and their trials and tribulations as they learn sexual techniques and positions from eachother.
The world is still revolving, life goes on and it doesn't really effect my little piece of the world, or does it?
The most liberal White House in history is about to come to power, but if I dwell on the 'what ifs', that is what would effect my little family. Instead, as a registered Republican, I choose to look forward to the change, the humanitarian good, the bipartisan cooperative efforts and international progress for the good of all Americans and communities world-wide.
History is in the making, but I am on edge as the future unfolds. I no longer wish to be registered Republican, but I can't quite go Democrat. I think I'll change my party to Independent. That gives me an excuse to go both ways! Silly videos inside
