So what I am wondering, as I mentioned in a general site comment that your resources have been profoundly helpful to me. I had a recent dream, as in I just woke up from it actually, which was extraordinarily powerful and stayed with me. In it there was some external entity, it might have been my subconscious speaking directly to me as I have often felt in my dreams a peculiar sameness between “actual” interactions with other people and my own subconscious, if that makes sense, where in I know I am talking to another voice which mirrors myself but in the same essence it feels like I am listening to someone talk to me. Though I usually don’t need to respond verbally to interact with this voice, I am often able to hear the words spoken to me aloud.
Anyway, this voice was beckoning me to peer into a hole, or void, which at first I began picturing as simply a hole on a wall but then I found myself in my room. Strangely not my apartment but rather my childhood bedroom, though with a massive glass window that I definitely know wasn’t there before. Outside of the window was top to bottom, in all directions a wide expanse of stars. Such that even when pressing my face to the glass and looking straight down I could only see stars, as though my room was floating in space. Then the “hole” I was being told to look through began to materialize much like a Black Hole at the center of a galaxy. I have personally been very fond of astronomy, so I was actually very intrigued and excited by what could potentially be a rather frightening symbol.
Soon I phased through the glass window as though it was never there, and found myself floating toward the epicenter of the spiraling stars. Not straight on like a dart approaching a dart-board, but more like an Airplane coming towards a runway, before I started to grow close enough that I was nearly able to put my eye up to the looking glass if-you-will, and see what I am being told to see. Than, if you could believe the timing, my alarm went off waking me up! Before I could see it! I am wondering if this particular scenario provides you with any contextual feelings or knowledge, particularly a few elements about it.
1. The fact that I was being beckoning, and told, not necessarily FORCED but more like, comfortingly almost as though my father was telling me,
“Hey Pete! Come take a look at this”
2. The fact that it was a hole that I was NOT necessarily inclined to, being told to, or seemingly in any way “supposed to” fall into, as with many descriptions of a hole in dreams. That is what seems to different from many situations described around what I’ve read. I was being instructed to look through this hole. I guess perhaps this could’ve been more a chance for reflection and observation than say, physical shifting or leaning towards physically doing something. Such that I could take that knowledge with me when I awake, atleast that is how I interpreted it.
So if anyone could share their thoughts I would really appreciate any and all input. This dream left me with goosebumps waking up, again not from fear or some sort of nightmare, but rather like the feeling you get leaving an amazing movie or live concert. It just hit me very powerfully and I am wondering if there are things in my life that I should look more closely into as it seemed I was being motioned towards some sort of self-reflection.
I have also looked into topics around Astral Projection with the hopes of finding more information related to the meaning and benefits culturally seen for these practices and forms of meditation, though as you can imagine the internet can be toxic and its hard to get genuine information on esotericism online.
