I have been having a lot of dreams lately, but remembering hardly any of them. I do know that they are very interesting dreams, but not monumental. I try to commit them to memory upon waking, but they fade easily. This one stuck with me very clearly and I am glad to be able to write it down in this forum. (Thanks 3PoundUniverse!) I'd really like to hear if other people have had a similar experience, and did it actually become an out of body experience? If you read this, you'll know what I'm talking about. I still kick myself for not "going with it".
Anyway, here's the dream:
There is more prior to the point I remember, and begin this dream record. At that point, I am sitting across from somebody cross-legged, facing them, and holding hands. Initially I think it was a female, but later it seemed to be a male, maybe it was me. The other person didn’t strike me as anyone I knew specifically tho, and I don’t know how it came about that we were doing whatever we were doing. But we seemed to be performing some type of ritual or chant, but I don’t know the reason. In fact, as we were in the middle of it, I thought “Oh wait a minute, what am I supposed to be focusing on.” All I remember saying was, “Give me love, give me power.”
I think we only said it once, and then right off the bat I felt an obvious energy consume me. It seemed powerful…not subtle at all. I couldn’t tell what it was or where it came from, or if it was malicious, it just happened so fast and unexpectedly. It seemed to be right in the center of me, in my heart area, and it caused me arch back. I didn’t know if I was going to be able to take it, and I certainly didn’t know what to do. All I could think of was to try and stay grounded, so as not to become lost in it. I didn’t want to be grounded in the way that I would be unmovable, I just felt it was important to stay centered and aware. I thought maybe this was the beginning of another OBE attempt on the part of whom-or-whatever. I thought maybe this energy was strong in order to sweep me out of my body. And all I could think of was to ground myself but I think in doing so, I was too resistant. This all happened so fast, and so out of the blue that I didn’t have any time to assimilate anything. Or maybe that was the point. On the other hand, this “consumption” was not exactly pure love – it seemed rough and forceful. I wasn’t in pain, it was just weird that there was nothing leading up to it. I tried to focus on the color red, thinking of the base charka. And now that I write that, I sort of remember trying to extend red down to my bed and my room so maybe I was beginning to separate from my body, but it wasn’t necessarily my real bed and room. That being said, I also was trying not to “resist” too much, and go with the flow, or what there was of one. I mean, I still didn’t know what this was all about, and what we were chanting for in the first place. I thought again while I was sort of being taken away (only a few feet) that I didn’t know what I was trying to do, I was confused, and I thought if only I was able to focus on the purpose of all this, then something important – or at least very cool - could happen. The other character in the dream did not have anything happen to them, and disappeared from the dream.
So I tried to hold on to it, but just as fast as it happened, it was over and my eyes blinked open like I was released at that very second. I felt a little skewed physically. I knew were I was, and I felt mentally alert and clear, but I had this weird feeling that I was floating a few inches off the bed even though I could feel my skin in contact with it. In a few minutes that feeling dissipated but I felt like I had been meditating for a long time (relaxed, able to feel waves of subtle energy wash through me). I felt like I was shimmering with energy, and had this calmness that overpowered any anxiety. I eventually drifted back to sleep, but noticed it was about 4:30am.
