Aside from several incidents and sightings whilst awake, I have had many enlightening experiences whilst asleep. Sleep is an essential function for both physical and mental health and yet we understand little about its actual functions. Dreams have the ability to give us access to a wealth of knowledge about our true selves. I spent many years afraid of my dreams, wishing that they would go away. I had a dream that my headmaster died when I was 13 and 3 days later he died of a heart attack. I thought that I had killed him! I also dreamt of IRA bombings and I had a recurring nightmare in which I was sucked into quicksand which was accompanied by an awful ‘static’ electricity feeling all over my body. I now believe that this could have been a pre-astral state.
I tried to forget these dreams for many years, however now I realise that these insights are a gift I have started to explore and learn from them. For example, before I was due to visit crop circles I had a dream in which a female asked me what I thought of the silicon in the crop circles. I was embarrassed in the dream because I had not heard about this and I don’t like appearing stupid. Later when I researched on the internet I found that silicon crystals have been found in crop circles and also at abduction sites. An esoteric dream that always sticks in my mind is one in which I was at a wedding in a Catholic church. I am sitting in an aisle when I look up to see the image of Jesus on the Cross. I rise up from my seat and move towards the priest, I begin shouting – “Jesus didn’t die on a cross – he died on a Tau”.
"The Taut or Tau symbolizes the creating four elements of the universe. It is the centre of all this creation, it is the spark in the cycle, the very centre of all. Next the symbol of the solar-serpent was added, a simple circle or the oval Ru. This loop above the T cross-created the Ankh, the symbol of eternity. The snake in a circle eating its own tale is symbolic of the sun and immortality. "(www.gardinerosborn.com) One of the most interesting dreams I had involved hearing loud beeping noises in my right ear before dozing off. I was startled by this at first and afraid about where it was coming from. I do sometimes get a ringing in my ear when I talk about spiritual and ET matters but this was a loud insistent beep.
In my dream I was standing on top of a skyscraper waiting to meet the late John Mack. In my dream I asked a female present if I was still going to meet John as I had thought that he was dead. She looked at her clipboard and told me that it was fine. John appeared and we chatted and walked for a while, I don't remember all of what we talked about but I remember him saying that I had come a long way in a short time. As we walked I became aware of a female dressed in red, carrying roses, who was walking towards us. I was struck by fear and told John that she was a 'reptilian’. I don't know what made me think this; she looked like a normal person and was pretty and not at all reptilian looking. I said to John, "Send her love," and I could feel my heart chakra almost bursting as I sent as much light energy her way so that we wouldn't be hurt. She went past us, and as she did she said, "It's alright I wouldn't want anything from an angel anyway."
I kept walking along much happier that she was gone until we came upon a shop, I went in and John joined the queue. I was drawn to look at a man sat in a chair at the end of an aisle. He was middle aged and had an old fashioned brown jumper on, somehow in my mind I knew this figure to be God. I looked at him and he smiled at me, I only remember a few words that he said, "It's all in code, it’s an illusion...UFOs, ETs – keep studying" Then I went outside with John, wished him goodbye and looked up at the night sky.
I looked up and saw lots of twinkling stars, some of which floated down towards me. I then woke up in bed with the memory of this dream prominent in my mind, knowing that there was some deep meaning for me.
At the time I was thinking that it was odd that I should dream of meeting John Mack, was that symbolic or is John still working with experiencers on the other side. Possibly my subconscious was trying to give me information to make me feel more comfortable with the idea of multi-dimensional contact with extra-terrestrial beings? I felt that the 'evil' presence of the female dressed in red and carrying roses was a 'reptilian' despite not looking like one. I used to tell my mum stories about the monsters in my wardrobe when I was young so maybe what I saw was a 'screen memory' for something else. It seemed odd that she said she didn't want anything from an angel?
Lately I have been thinking that perhaps this was some kind of soul retrieval and that the female in red with roses was some aspect of me that I had been hiding and was afraid of? Perhaps I was part of a reptilian race in a past life?
I looked at the spiritual and symbolic meaning of what I saw as well; I found that the ' red rose' connects with the rose of consciousness and the Qabalah. It is a mystic symbol of the heart and is associated with perfection as well as a symbol of the suffering of Christ; it links also to Mars and his consort Venus in mythology. Most obviously the rose is central to the Rosicrucian cabalistic society and the unfolding of hidden secrets as well as being a symbol of the Goddess (Tresidder, 2000). It is interesting that recently I have had dreams in which I am studying the Qabalah and writing essays in French on the subject. Even though at the time I didn't know the sephiroh names in English and the last time I had written anything in French was an A Level essay on La Rochelle!
The Red Cross (rose cross) on a white background is linked to the Knights Templar but also dates back to Egyptian and Phoenician records; this symbol is actually the symbol of the snake or serpent which is often seen in alchemical literature and symbolism as well as in the Garden of Eden. It is also the cross of St George which is depicted on the English flag; St George is a mythical dragon (or serpent) slayer (Gardiner, Osborn, 2005.) It may be that ingestion of certain types of snake venom induce shamanic trance; a state which has been likened to the abduction state in some literature.
Drawing further on from this connection with roses and serpents; there is the Kundalini from the chakras; the psychic /spiritual centres through which we can merge with the collective unconscious and access higher wisdom - universal oneness. In this sense the unleashing of the coiled snake at the base of the spine results in the same experience as ingesting the snake venom; a trance state in which one is neither dead nor alive but in that in between state - The Void.
Through exploring my dreams I have learned a wealth of knowledge that I would otherwise have had no idea where to find. I feel I am provided with clues for both my physical and spiritual progress whilst in my dream state. Dreaming is something that we all do everyday – we all have access to the part of ourselves which still resides in heaven.
