Three Visions

In the first dream, I am deprived of all senses. Everything is taken away, except for an image, an image of square shapes which purports to be reality itself, the depth of these offerings is hard to convey in words which make sense. In my state, I realised that the life in which I now type the words, is only the real dream, and that in a slumberous state I simply drift through the realities.

The second vision took me to a beach far away. The sky was a crystalline green but the water a sexy warm blue. Creatures roam around, oblivious to me, humanoid beings whose power transcends that which I know. Then people came, human people. They tried to tame the creatures and make them slaves, but one night, the entire race of beings not human, packed up and left into darkness, with the grace and speed found in a cloud of birds in the sky, who collectively turn and dance as one.

They left, on the beach, several items, which burrowed their way into the sand overnight. In the morning, there was plant life on the beach. Huge flowers with long, living, stinging tentacles who would whip, choke or drown any that came to the beach.

The third dream took me into a strange mystic land of magicians and creatures. My friends, magicians and witches. The land is dark and seems lifeless. However there’s a huge castle built into the landscape. I explore the castle, and meet more people, preparing for a celebration. I reach the top of the tower and look down on the vast plain. The people no more than dots below, dots arranged into a circle, holding hands. I have missed the ceremony. But then something goes wrong, and suddenly the people below are running in all different directions. Running away from things I can’t see. Things that move in the blackness of a reality which isn’t, but which sometimes seems to be everything.

That’s one pretty crazy night of adventure. Though I’ve set these up as stories, I was shown images and feelings, I relay these through my interpretation as best I can. Dreams don’t make sense, but we make sense of dreams through our desire to understand. A desire that has evolved us from ape to man. Perhaps the next stage of evolution is to come to understand dreams then? Maybe so!
