Dreams for April 2005
Dreams from the 15th night of each month

The Red Stone
Olivia Strand

I had this dream on the night between the 15th and the 16th:

"I find myself in something like a museum, or art gallery, but a modern, concrete, steel and glass one. Overall it looks a bit gloomy, not very well lit up. One section in particular seems to draw a lot of attention, because it seems sealed off and visitors cannot enter. They do anyway, though, wanting a part of whatever seems so special about it - some kind of exhibition, I guess. And at the same time I get a sense of sacred space.

"Later the museum authorities have lifted the restrictions, and I enter with a friend, 'Eva'. It looks like a very bare cafeteria, but with nothing much in the way of objects or art on display. We sit at a round table, large enough to seat five or six people, on chairs with wooden seats (some kind of form pressed plywood) and spidery metal legs. More of these tables stand spread out in the area, but with only very few people sitting there, and hardly anyone looking at the temporary walls which ought to hold objects of interest, but seem not to.

"The whole area seems divided, in a well lit up area next to the wall, and the display panels in semi gloom, standing nearer to the aisle or corridor leading from glass doors (opening on to a street) and into the museum itself. The glass doors seem 'in the North', with the cafeteria area to the West of the corridor leading straight Southwards - and the lit up half, with tables and chairs, in the Western part, with the Eastern half, with display panels, in semi darkness. The table where we sit stands in the Southwest, and I sit looking towards the southern point, where a light shines through a red stone, held in some silvery looking metal. I sit there, almost basking in the light, and this seems important. And at the same time I don't think this red stone had much to do with why the museum authorities had closed off the area previously, or why the people insisted on going in there anyway."


The dream didn't quite end there, but what followed (and I think I woke up in between) seemed more personal and related to another person (the real life Eva), so I won't include that here.

As I woke I associated the red stone with a silver pendant I have, in a very simple 'goddess shape' and holding a large red granite between her up-stretched arms. When I wear it the granite sits more or less over my heart chakra.

Lunar Eclipse Gateway

I dreamt last Sunday evening, as I drifted into the dream not yet asleep I see images of dreams whirling past me in fast motion almost like a wheel spinning. I stop on frame of a dream image. It is the moon that draws my attention. I see the full moon in 3/4 position and I am looking at it from the vantage point of an arched gateway. I hear a woman singing beautifully in the dream in Arabic. It is very familiar but I do not recognize the song or the words. I am in what appears to be a dream temple, that is open to the sky, and there are arched doorways all the way around. All the other doorways are dark only the doorway with the moon featured is open and active. There is an old man and an old woman sitting on either side of the doorway, they are the gate keepers. They both look very dignified. I know I am supposed to ask them something but I feel confused as to why I am there. I don't quite understand what is going on. I know I am supposed to go through the gateway, I make that determination internally and the gateway approaches me and I pass through it. When I pass through the gateway I again see the dream images fast forward until they stop suddenly on another dream frame. I pass through many different dream frames see things about myself and my life, my family and my relationships.

I discovered the next day that my dream was showing me the lunar eclipse which I had no prior knowledge about, only when I saw the picture Kotaro sent of the lunar eclipse did I recognize the image in my dream was the eclipse in exactly that position. Thank you Kotaro.

I then found that a dear friend was planning a ceremony for the summer solstice about drawing down the moon and she has asked me to be in the ceremony and also my daughter, (who was also in my dream picking out a shiny sparkly white skirt to dance in, perfect for a moon dance!)

I have talked to a videographer about making a video about our DAFUMU Mandalla dreaming. We could put some of Kotaro's pictures in it if it is ok with you Kotaro, and have some fast forward kind of images and maybe some freeze frame images from dreams that others have shared.

Any way I thought it would be an interesting project to do to perhaps demonstrate how the DAFUMU dreaming works.

The Dream

I am riding a bicycle along the shore. I don’t afraid from the traffic at all and ride between the big buses and trucks dangerously with a very high speed. After a time, I am taking a bus (or a train). There is a little girl at the front who is my daughter. She seems alone and silent. I am hugging her. There is another woman with another little girl. I am jumping down and buying five blue dresses at a stop. These children are special kids and their specialties are written at the skirts of dresses. I am giving one to the woman but the words on it gets invisible when she try to put it on the little girl. We are approaching somewhere. There are no vehicles any more. The people beside me are my family but they seem as Tibetan, Chinese or Nepalis. We are entering to a house a few steps down the ground which looks like a shop. There is a very low wooden thing like a table in the middle. People are sitting on the ground covered with carpets around it. There are dozens of traditional neck ledges made of many lines of tiny rubies and emeralds on the low wooden table. Some of them have little silver, gold and bone (elephant tooth) shapes between them. I don’t like the bones at all and begin to tell about their meanings. The oldest man tells that he will bring one to me at his next visit. When I get out I see all the roads covered with a clear blue water. A young man is pulling a tiny wooden boat to the shore which my son is standing on. My son is falling in the water and hitting the iron bars between the street and us. I want to run his help thinking he get  wounded but a voice in my mind stops me saying he get stronger. I am beginning to realize I am dreaming and question what is going on. I am watching around and people as we enter an one store building between many luxury buildings. The are many switches which show there must be many lights but  we are opening only one very white one.  I am beginning to wash dishes as I try to see the neighborhood in my mind flying. I am lining the different shaped, colored and sized cups in the shape of solar system on a white porcelain plate. The people who happened to be my family but Asian are speaking at the other side. I hear one of them saying; ‘If we bring him, many of them will feel his presence immediately’. I still can’t be sure who they are and who are they talking about. As I tell myself to search about it, the building begin to change. It have high triangle curved ceiling and only one very large hall. There is a strange yellowish green energy flow all around. I get surprised and take a few steps. I see a big sculpture in front of tree high, white marble columns. I see people are in a kind of vibration. The voice answers me in my mind that these people are everywhere to help the change and they send masters to every part of the world where they are. But people are very conscious, gifted where we are and they wonder if they can sense the presence of the master as soon as he come. That is what they were talking about. I am thinking I can try to understand what all these mean deeply when I wake up but I couldn't make any connection with DaFuMu at the surface. I  am deciding and asking loudly as; ‘And what about DaFuMu? What?’. The scene in front of my eyes is changing. I am on a huge, large and long road now. Suddenly huge flames begin to burn at both sides of the road. The dimensions begin to change and the road between the flames begin to lower on water. Far away in front of me it is passing under an old white rock bridge and reach, disappear in the blood red sun in the sky.
