I'm usually very good at interpreting my own dreams. I can ascertain their meaning while I'm dreaming. It's quite fascinating. I'm not sure if I can call, what I'm about to describe, as dreams, though. I don't know what they are, to be honest.
I had the headphones on listening to music. And I guess I was dozing off. It started with me thinking of something and then the thought branches out and a new picture or image starts to form...a landscape...
I was caught off guard by a man. He reminded me of the King of Wands. He had blonde, golden hair sitting in a chair, like a throne and he was so laid back, very relaxed. And he was reading the paper. Behind him, I could sense, was a gathering or some kind of celebration. The image felt bright and full of life and light. I know that it was evening, that it was warm out. He looked right at me and winked, as if to show that he knew I was just passing through. There was an understanding between us. I wasn't "in" the dream. I was observing "outside" of the dream looking in. Well, as soon as I became "aware" of the image, my eyes opened and my immediate thought was, "Wow, what was THAT?"
I closed my eyes again...and I remember suddenly being confronted by a black and white photo of a man. The image moved, slightly. He smiled like he knew me. He felt familiar. I knew that I knew him. It was of a different time...and yet, kind of modern looking, too. I smiled back. Again, as soon as I became aware of myself experiencing this "encounter", I opened my eyes. I told myself, "Okay...that's interesting, too. Maybe I'm just going in and out of consciousness very easily..."
I shut my eyes again. And after a few seconds (I'm assuming was only a few seconds), I saw an image of a woman...maybe a Goddess. She had six arms and was wearing a beautiful golden crown. Her colours were so rich...I mean, she was so striking. She was also smiling and appeared to be moving and dancing. The sight of her woke me up!
*******************************
These three images reminded me of what happens when I'm reading "sacred" text in a dream, or when I wake up saying certain words and statements that I know can't be coming from "me." As soon as I become aware of myself, I lose the connection, as though I'm getting in the way. I don't want to lose the connection. I would have loved to stay with them but there's an excitement and a slight fear once I become "aware." I'm easily pulled back into the waking-world and out of that state.
Can anyone tell me about the woman? I did some research and my understanding is that she represents Vasudhara, a buddhist deity. I don't know my goddesses very well. Any input about her or the other images would be very much appreciated. I know they have meaning for me at this time.
Thank you very much.
