Overrunning
11.03.2011, 0430

I'm sitting in my car, on a parking lot. The motor is running and it is touring higher and higher, I fear it may explode. I raise my arms to protect my face, and an explosion happens, but I'm not hurt. I jump out of the car and see the motor is burning. I reach in, because it is still running, turn the key, but the motor doesn't stop. I look under the car, there is an extinguisher. I spray the white foam on the motor block, the fire already reached the cockpit. I'm successfully extinguishing the fire, but I think the car is done now. Wanted to purchase a new one, anyway.
---
I'm in a larger house, and also renters living there. I try to recall the name of one of the renters, but don't succeed. Blame it on my forgetfulness.
--
I'm in the forest with my spouse. There is something going on with trains running a track leading through the forest. I don't find anything and go. Return and see the trains collided. Two reddish wagons fell on the side of the track. I know one of the trains has been from Switzerland.
---
Again with my spouse. we are on a broad way, like a pedestrian zone. There is green and some platforms. I perform high jumps, and my darling is laughing about my childish behavior. I think I'm doing well with my jumps and enjoy feeling my body.


General impressions

Its 11 pm. Completing the notes I scribbled this morning 5 am.
The part about the car seemed to be very serious, and I wondered what it means. At work I found I shivered and my nose was running. So I interpreted this as a prodromal dream. Had no fever, though. Took a homeopathic medicine back home and a nap, feeling better now.
I thought this is about my life, I toured high, working much for J's mutual dreaming study. Although I knew I had to cool down, it was no use. No effect in turning the key, the motor is running Feeling better now, think I'll finish the questionnaire tomorrow.
Hearing the news about the heated reactor in Japan, I also saw parallels. We need to extinguish this fire, like M I think we need to pray and dream the reactor cool.
The part about my forgetfulness: I think the awareness behind my dream tries to get me lucid. I'm working with reality checks, so this is a nice occasion. The renter may have looked like A from J's dreamgroup.
The trains: Not sure. An accident, again. Nothing comes to mind. Strange relation to Switzerland.
The jumps: Seemingly part of the lucidity program And just fun. Before sleep though of Linda L Magallon writing flying lucid dreamers do best with mutual dreams. It is much about the inner child coming out to play and party!
They joy of dreaming!!!


Conclusion

In spite of of the serious situations we face and witness in the world,
remember the joy of dreaming. We all are children (inside).
I guess that is also in line with J's message.
Dream and pray cool that nuclear plant!

Oblivion Conspiracy
12.03.2011, 0900

I have been to different places, returned and find myself sitting at a table in small room now. Someone is with me, standing in my back, I guess my brother B. Maybe also my darling.
I'm involuntarily (?) deleting files on a pc/ notebook. They include games, and afterwards there are MS DOS Icons replacing the prior. Try to get back into the games, thinking how silly I erased them. Something happens, but I can only recall confusing scenes overlaying.
---
I'm in a large building and there is an iron door before me, half open. The room behind has been the place of a criminal scene. A woman has been murdered and pulled across the floor. I think the traces must be still visible to the crime scene investigators. It feels like an x-file case.


General impressions

I have been tired going to bed, watched two x-file features, watched the news about Japan, my eyes falling shut in between. Went to bed and remember doing a part of my usual meditation. Woke up still tired, as if I worked a lot this night
the first part of dream: I feel the pc is a kind of nexus or portal to the different scenes (realities) I visited, and also keeping the memory. I somehow, not really unconsciously, erase this memory after returning. I guess it has to do with returning to my "normal" life, returning to my family and my beloved one. I suspect knowing what I did and experienced in dreams could be incompatible with this part of my life. I know I'm often dreaming the extraordinary, and even those close to me don't understand it. Forgetting my dreams, especially if they relate to dreaming cool the atomic power plant(s) in Japan, could be a way of evading conflicts in my life. Consensus trance (in the sense of Charles Tart) "automatically" sets in, I decide to erase my memory, so I can more easily keep in line in my social life.
Deleting the files in dream means to go back to a simpler, less complex, and less powerful operating system. Who would change Windows with MS-Dos today?
So it appears the "conspiracy" of oblivion has the effect to limit my power, staying powerless. I am part of this conspiracy, I can change!
I recall T had a dream about forgetting lately, and about what we may be allowed to know.
The dream part with the supposedly murdered lady now appears clearer to me, as by forgetting I don't let my intuitive side be part of my life. I seem to be sure in the end its traces will be detected, and everything will come to light. There are forces in myself longing to know the truth (out there...) and they are ready to pay the price, they are AKA as Moulder and Scully

Current concerns

The night before this dream (still March. 11th) I watched a news channel on the situation in Japan. A representative of "Greenpeace" talked on the power plants, comparing them with the motor of a car, overheating. Of course the relation to my car dream of last night came to mind, and how it fits with situation of the reactor(s) and the possible developments.
I also thought how drastic this car dream, and that it fit with my health situation, but kind of overdid it. Did I really dream with the reactor? My intuitive mind shivered, knowing it is so, but my everyday mind feared the mind- or life-blowing consequences of an extraordinary dreaming like this.


Exercise

Dreaming cool the atomic power plants in Japan

Conclusion

They think I'm crazy, anyway
Go, dreamer(s), go!

[ralucid]

Please help dreamers finding their way here. Share a link to this place on facebook or in other social networks, so we can join forces.

I heard there are dreams about the earthquake appearing all over www. I heard Ryan Hurd is involved with the Japan topic in dreams.

[caroldedreamer]

March 9 2011

For some reason wrote some dreams just below the memory plate.

I make a note that is PSI lab we picked a dream from July 23 to look at and how a years ago entry for that date I wrote on that page earthquake so noted it here in journal to see if connected to now happening coming up.

This is part of the dream I remember... I was in some outside area with a group. I had to show proof of something/evidence of theory. I was told or found out that there was a connection with earthquakes and the fish in the news which when I heard the story I thought of electric shock wave but in dream there was also water maybe tsunami like happening. I was thinking there was a way to use this info for corrections on a earthquake test and to double check when I woke up.

I woke up at 3am. 3 things need help with. Waking thought Jesus was a fisherman tweet.

Someone said don't worry you are safe with me.

I then remember a piece from a dream where I go to the bathroom and feel something different enlarged move through. Then MM looks and sees very large not sure how it fit big rock meteor? light colored piece like fossil might look inside a rock. It is like a softball with flatter sides.

Another dream someone is showing me a map maybe arctic area and I see that the parts of one continent fit into other body masses and I am surprised but then put pieces together to show others long coastlines. I feel like south or south pole area but not that far down. At one point in the dream I am being shown earth and bodies of land and I say to someone show me the north pole as I look at a snow covered area then they say no actual pole area and I say yeah I know what you mean (like the north pole is moving 40 miles a year towards Russia and How Admiral Byrd http://www.deepinfo.com/Byrd.htm ) as they continue to talk about bodies of land and maybe north pole entry point to center of the earth. This reminds me of a red and gold bowl under African violet plant with a lime green ribbon where the water under got wet and chipped and I had to put the pieces back together like a puzzle just like the bodies of land in my dream. Jagged edges from dream where one body of land broke away from another. Antarctica long coast lines this I guess was connected to my dream leads about ICE and earthquakes shortly there after.

Something with 19 in a box like important(now makes me think of full moon on March 19th. And ribbon lime green connected to another dream of March 17th St. Patrick's Day.)

Got to sleep and dream now

Looking forward to healing dreams for Japan.
Focussing on joining forces with dreamers around the world.
Curious for everybody's dreams and comments.

Ralf

[pepicek]

Very well done, Ralph!
Up to now I have no dreams on the subject. I can just report that my father-in-law here in Italy, who suffers from a very heavy senile dementia, in the hours immediately preeceding and during the earthquake was in a state of nearly unmanageable upheaval, that ceased just afterwards.
For a number of reasons I do not have a facebook account, but I'd like to join my prayers. Would you kindly "carry" my prayers there for me? I'd be thankful.

Forgetful Birdman
13.03.2011, 0300

In a larger square room, the edges maybe 20 m long, a pillar with a square diameter in the center. maybe 2 m thick. The walls are brown, it is dim. I'm a bird with long white feathers. I'm very long and seemingly I do have only rudimentary wings. I'm doing long jumps in the company of other birds looking like me. In our jumps and turns we are moving counter clockwise around the central pillar. My jumps are so wide that I realize I'm dreaming after some time.

I'm very happy and keep on jumping, turning dancing. I feel my thin legs and the claws scratching ground. I start to sing, at first only something like "lalala", later on adding "I'm dreaming". I do all this to stay in contact with the dream, knowing I have set my mind to a task. I do have childish fun, overflowing with joy.

After feeling quite stable in the dream I remember my task to connect with other dreamers and heal this country. I feel a surge of energy flowing through my body, which now feels of humanoid shape. I intend a spinning movement, and it also happens counter clockwise, while focusing on the task and visualizing the Asian west coast.

I say: "I now connect with ..." and can't recall the nation of people I planned focusing on. I think hard and China comes to mind, Korea, and I feel waking up physically but don't move, try to get back into the dream holding on to the pictures, to the feeling of dreambody, but it is too late.

General impressions

I'm writing my dreams and comments before watching the news and reading groups and threads, don't want my reporting be influenced.
Has been some time since I last dreamed lucid.

The setting reminds me of Shamanic dancing, as well as of Muslims circling the Kaaba.
Being a bird - man seems to relate more to the Shamanic side. The pillar maybe relates to the axis mundi, the central axis of the world, the world-tree.
There is something special to being a bird, I rarely remember shape shifting dreams.

My forgetfulness has been part of dream yesterday "Oblivion conspiracy", I wanted to post it, anyway. There is a reason I forgot, I suppose I unconsciously resist to getting in contact. This is worth some dreamwork, as forgetfulness appeared in yesterday dreams and for me is a general obstacle in any dreamwork. And I also feel its a message I need to understand.


Current concerns

This I dreamed on March, 11th:
"I perform high jumps, and my darling is laughing about my childish behavior. I think I'm doing well with my jumps and enjoy feeling my body."
And this was my comment:
"The jumps: Seemingly part of the lucidity program And just fun. Before sleep though of Linda L Magallon writing flying lucid dreamers do best with mutual dreams. It is much about the inner child coming out to play and party!"

I was right in my intuition, and got lucid two days later. A plan of the awareness behind my dreams, intending to get me lucid? Self-fulfilling prophecy? Both, or something completely different

Doing my usual meditation/ relaxation/ incubation exercise before sleep, I felt a stronger flow of energy than usual but also a higher tension, maybe I focused too hard on the Japan situation all day.

Exercise

Incubating healing dreams for Japan.

Conclusion

The beginning of the dream appears to me like a Shamanic ceremony. So it may be I already (more or less unconsciously) joined forces with other dreamers. The central pillar I feel may be the focus of the dancing birds, supposedly the bodies of dreamers on Shamanic journeys?

Getting lucid I feel I reached a higher level of energy, but I'm not sure if I managed to focus it on Japan.

[ralucid]

Hi, Massimo!

Very glad to see you, has been quite a time ever since last PDC.
Interesting synchronicity about your father-in-law. I hope he has coped with it now.

I'll carry your prayers there.

Ralf

[jayvinton]

Great dreaming Ralf.

The only thing that I remember from last night is an image of a non-descript snake. I felt friendly toward it, rather than frightened or threatened. It's tail was looped back in the air over it's head, so that it's body was shaped like a U on it's side. In fact I only remember seeing it's tail, but not it's head.

For what it's worth.

And greetings to Massimo.

[timeisnotlinear]

Hi pepicek and jayvinton, welcome to the IASD Discussion Boards.

Ralucid, thanks for getting this thread started. I know I have had tsunami dreams in the past and wonder if they have any relation to this event, but now I can't remember where I posted them on the board.

[droomcoach]

Dear dreamers,

I usually am a very happy sleeper (I love to sleep!) and I dream positive or neutral dreams most of the time.

Before I knew of the earthquake, I could not sleep and was deeply unhappy. For no apparent reason. That night I had confused and troubled dreams, and I have had them ever since. The confused dreams I mean. I try to solve every problem I encounter.

None of them are earthquake-related, but they do not have to be. The themes, even though I use my own images, are universal: having to move home, having to live in chaos, etc.

I am sharing this because I would like to point out that we may dream of the world a lot more than we know. The feeling translates into images that are familiar in my own life, but that is for me a means of transporting information. In my dreams I try to help where I can.

How is that with you guys? Any changes in dream life the past week?

Jean had an idea "that we visualize a sealed dome over any of the nuclear reactors in Japan having problems, in order to keep the radiation contained."

I'll join visualizing and thought to share it as a suggestion.

Hello all,

had this dream a while ago (actually this one made me join the Bridge ) ... feel a connection and wanted to share it here, thank you Ralf !

'We stand on top of a hill in a rural landscape. On the side of another hill, in a distance, there's a large, round public swimming pool. I can't see it, but I hear the voices of children laughing and the splashing of water. Then I see a mighty fountain water rising high up to the sky. I think all the water of the swimming pool must be thrown out. There's another wave more powerful, and still another, and each gets bigger ... the last one looks like a huge vulcanic eruption of water. Through the swimming pool - which is a magnifying glass now - I see mighty ocean waves in motion heavily rolling from ground shaking underwater explosions. All the children, all the people are dead. A dreadful silence falls onto the hills. I tell the others: 'This is the forming of a mini black hole.'
We go to a nearby stream. Standing on the small wooden bridge we watch the mini black hole as it approaches, moving fast in the water of the stream. 'Come and look!', I say, 'it's not dangerous'. The mini black hole is a long spiral of mysterious black material. It looks like a curled serpent, or a string of DNA. I'm told that five days ago on a thursday there has been a real bad thunderstorm. A man carrying two long tubes on his shoulders seems involved in the accident. I read 'K & K'.' (12-11-2009)

The dream is toned by a sense of doom, of motion, and of deep mystery. Yet tere is no fear or panic specially when observing the black hole, just a feeling of changes ahead that are not revealed yet.

Prayers are sent out
Tine

[timeisnotlinear]

Tine, thanks for the dream account, inspiring and scary at the same time.

Elew, I hope that's what they do and I hope they do it soon.

Hi, all

Now one thing gives me hope the reactors will cool down soon:
If my "overrunning dream I shared at the top of this thread is kind of prophetic - and I think it is,
until now everything has happened according to the script:

1. The reactors were overrunning - like my car
2. There was no way to shut them down immediately - like my car
3. They exploded - like the engine of my car
4. The cores of nuke plants caught fire - like my engine
5. Japan tries to extinguish fire with water - like me in dream (but with foam)

so only step 6. remains:

The fire is extinguished.

Da-Fu Mu!
Keep on dreaming the reactors cool!

(had only five hours of sleep - can't recall any dreams this morning)

They joy of dreaming!!!


Conclusion

In spite of the serious situations we face and witness in the world,
remember the joy of dreaming. We all are children (inside).
I guess that is also in line with Jean's dream/ message from self.

Dream and pray cool that nuclear plant!

[xaa]

That above described dream about nuclear jello also reminded me that they are also considering sealing the reactors with concrete as in Thsernobyl.

[ralucid]

Great dreaming, Elew!

Like droomcoach wrote, some of us seem to be working on solutions in dreams. And I believe you doing so can help resolving the situation in Japan.

You holding the cup feels like you take it really personal, and then you also cooperate with a professor (representing higher knowledge?)

Thanks for sharing

Ralf

[ralucid]

Hey, Tine!

Nice to see you sharing your dream here. I recall it. Wasn't it in the days when CERN did try to run the new collider?

Your dream matches the current situation, insofar the start has been an underwater earthquake.

Been some time ago, nonetheless may have been precognitive.

Thanks for sharing and "hearing" you.

Large Hadron Collider is Underground facility in Switzerland

Large Hadron Collider "Actually Worked"Mason Inman
for National Geographic News

September 10, 2008
The world's largest atom smasher's first experiment went off today without a hitch, paving the way toward the recreation of post-big bang conditions.

The Large Hadron Collider fired a beam of protons inside a circular, 17-mile (27-kilometer) long tunnel underneath villages and cow pastures at the French-Swiss border.

Inside the control room, physicists and engineers cautiously shot the beam down part of the tunnel, stopping it before it went all the way around.

"Oh, we made it through!" one person cried as the beam made it through a further section of the tunnel.

One hour after starting up, on the first attempt to send the beam circling all the way around the tunnel, it completed the trip successfully—bringing raucous applause.

"First of all, I didn't believe it," said Verena Kain, a European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) engineer.

"I had to see it a second time, and I thought, Oh, wow, it actually worked!"

"Things can go wrong at any time, but luckily this morning everything went smoothly," said Lyn Evans of CERN, who oversaw the building of the accelerator.

(Also see "Large Hadron Collider Rap Video Is a Hit" [September 10, 2008].

Birth of the Universe

The collider "was first proposed more than 20 years ago," said Django Manglunki, an accelerator physicist at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), on Tuesday. "We've been preparing that beam for more than ten years."

[Spiral Jetty]

below are two recent dreams I would consider precognitive of the earthquake in Japan.

The night of the earthquake I woke up at 3 AM after having a long dream about being in Japan. Below is the small bit I recall of this dream.

I am standing around in a large room with several other people. I am aware that we are in Japan. We are working on some kind of project with a large, oval shaped object about the size of a car. The object sits at the lowest level of this multi-leveled room. There is one man who seems like an expert of some kind poking at the oval shape with a rod (nuclear fuel rod?) and trying to affect it somehow. The shape seems to be partially solid and partially made of energy (radioactive element?). The color of the oval shape is a dull yellow. This feels like an important task and we were all focused on it and it feels very serious, but calm.

I awoke from this dream at about 3 AM and I wondered to myself "Why am I dreaming about Japan?".

The next morning I awoke to the news of the quake. When I looked back at the time I was dreaming and when the quake hit, they were very close, within an hour or two. I do recognize that It may well have been coincidence that I was dreaming about Japan. The dream did not scream out “Earthquake!” and there was no sense of panic. However, because I woke from this dream in the middle of the night and because I had this wondering feeling about “why Japan?” I think it is a fair to say that my dreaming self was telling me “pay attention to Japan.”

I was curious to see if I had any other recent dreams the could be have been predictive of this event. Going through my dream journal, I discovered a dream I had on February 3rd, 2011.

I am in the Pacific Ocean on a strip of land between two large bodies of water (Japan?) and there is a big tsunami headed in to shore. I experience the enormous intensity of the waves rushing in and flooding the land. The village I am in is covered in water. This is a lucid dream. In fact, at one point in the dream, I am not certain if I am dead or dreaming. I feel this incredible lightness of being because I am free of my body. I know in the dream that, even though I am in the midst of a huge tsunami and being washed out to sea, that I really have nothing to be afraid of. “This is a dream!” I keep thinking. I can just go along for the ride. I actually feel really happy and free.

I ride the wave and it goes through a building that has no roof. I feel like I am inside and outside at the same time. This last part reminded me, in retrospect, of all the people who are without shelter now in Japan and seeing their homes destroyed or partially destroyed.

[ralucid]

Elew, I quoted your whole dream in an earlier message and deleted this quote now. I'm very sorry about you feeling unsafe sharing dreams here.

I used your jelly substance in a visualization for cooling down the Japan reactor, and my feeling was it is capable of absorbing radiation. I gave it a light blue color.

Elev and A MM, I'm open to many levels or dimensions of meaning to dreams. And if Elew feels she walked into an actual lab and met an actual professor, it is inside the range of what I hold possible in dreams. My hope is Elew's idea may lead to helpful inventions.

Keep on dreaming the healing and cooling!

[ralucid]

Hi, Carol!

Before the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland was put to work, a lot of concerns were raised, including it may produce black holes eating the earth and cause earthquakes.
From my understanding of physics I didn't share these concerns, I still do not.

Though it is interesting I dream of "collision" and "Switzerland" and then mention it in relation to Tine's dreams.

After my dream, which happened in the night of earthquake, only later in the day I heard the terrible news about Japan, a day later I saw pictures of derailed trains in Japan, the tsunami caused it. But there was no red train, like in my dream. A match, but I can't tell its significance.

I'm not sure what to make of this part dream and the different matches with physical waking reality.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, anyway.

Ralf

[ralucid]

Wow, Spiral Jetty!

In my eyes your first dream has been precognitive (or clairvoyant, or wahtsoever) Many details - and I understand you added the comments in brackets later - point to the nuclear plant there and problems involved.

Your earlier dream sounds also convincing, and even more "realistic" to me. I also dream lucid sometimes, and I admire your ability to go with the flow in a dangerous situation like this.

I feel you may have been witnessing, and your experience of dying, the light feeling, sounds consoling to me. I feel you have dreamed "in the shoes" of the victims of tsunami. What do you feel or think?

Thanks for sharing dreams and thoughts

Ralf

[Spiral Jetty]

ralucid,

Thanks for your comments. Yes, the thought has crossed my mind about "walking in the shoes" as you put it. I think they are looking a death toll in Japan of over 20,000 now. That is a lot souls leaving the planet all at once! Perhaps I was picking up on this. I have had many dreams over the years where people who have just died are telling me about their experiences, so this would not be out of character in that respect.

I am glad to hear that you have lucid dreams too. Have you noticed any increase in these types of dreams over the last year or two? I have seen a big increase for myself just in the last few months. Interesting times we are living in!

[ralucid]

Hi, Spiral Jetty!

I'm a nurse, so illness and death are close to me. Sometimes I'm with the dying. In my dreamgroup, the world dreams peace bridge, we lost a dear member last year, no hints of any illness or same such before his passage.

It seems I had a precognitive dream about it, at least dreamed my own death (and that is quite unusual for me) some days before we learned the shocking news. Wasn't a lucid, though. I survived as a spirit and left my physical body behind.

This comes to my mind, but I can't say if I dream about topics relating to afterlife more often in the last two years.

It may be conscious dreamers attract the souls of deceased, maybe they need guidance. Just a gut feeling, though. Can't say much about it from my experience of lucid dreaming. At the time I'm lucid maybe once a month.

I suppose many, even people not recalling their dreams, are sometimes connected to disembodied minds. There must be a lot going on not coming to our physical waking consciousness.

Some may see this as rambling, and I would understand. Before I didn't have experience of afterlife, and of the multi dimensions of dreaming, these thoughts were mere hypotheses, or ideas with a low probability to me. Far out...

Fine to know you think your way, Spiral Jetty

Hi, all!

Elew and Debra,I'm sorry about the difficult communication, and hope you will find ways to resolve your issues. Don't know much about the background. Didn't want to leave this without comment, though.


I'd like to give you a follow - up on the dreamwork on "Forgetful Birdman" I shared earlier in this thread. On the world dream peace bridge Joy found these surprising connections of my "birdman dance" with Japanese cranes. It seems I unknowingly connected to an aspect of Japanese culture:

But Ralf, this is remarkable! I would suggest you were one of the
dancing cranes that are so special to Japan, and China: Red-Crowned
Crane, also called Japanese Crane. They are tall with long thin legs,
with long white feathers, and they do a mating dance of jumps and
turns in the company of other birds. They are a symbol of good
fortune, longevity, wishes granted. I think you did connect with
Japan, beautifully.

"The most spectacular aspect of crane courtship is the dancing
ceremony. They prance stiff-legged around each other, alternately
bowing and stretching, with their wings half extended. They punctuate
the dance by leaping high into the air with their legs dangling
loosely beneath them.... They perform a duet of their ringing unison
calls to further strengthen the pairing. " http://nationalzoo.si.edu/Animals/Birds/Facts/FactSheets/fact-redcrowncrane.cfm

I heard the news about powerlines now being connected to the faulty reactors. And also the cooling with water appears to at least stabilize the level of radiation. And of course it may be the dreaming, praying and visualizing from people around the world has some effect.

Keep on dreaming healing and cooling!

Another dream I feel relating to Japan:


Rats, Fish and Wolves
18.03.2011

The mouth of a river. A large group of rats on a sand bank, left side. The seem to hold a meeting. Now part of sand bank rips of and floats out to the sea, with most of the rats on it. I feel they planned it. Part of them remains on land. The plague spreads, that is what I feel.
Now I'm with a group of large fish under water. I have a swimming suit. I'm kind of studying them, and this is now in the frame of a documentary. A commenting voice says this is a unique occasion for studying the life of sweet water fish. As I'm swimming with them, they turn to wolves, and I wonder why they are not running on land for their seasonal wandering. Seems to be easier for them swimming the river. I feel part of the their gang.

General impressions

I think at least the part with the rats relates to Japan. Like they are symbolizing the radiation leaking to the oceans, as well as the threat of contagious diseases emerging from the catastrophic conditions after earthquake and tsunami.

There is also an element of intelligence in nature, as if all the animals mentioned have a much keener mind as I supposed. I not only study them, I am part of the gang (of fish and wolves to say the least). It also feels kind of threatening, as if nature strikes back now. The wolves I feel may be helpful in keeping the rats under control.

The wolf is part of my name: Ralf is a shot form of Randolf, meaning advising wolf.



Conclusion

Maybe we should join forces with nature, also, in these times of crises.
And not just humans suffer from the catastrophe!

@ timeisnotlinear: Thanks for your clear moderating words. I'm glad we can keep sharing dreams and thoughts here and research the reality of dreaming. Also thanks for your comment on limitless power of mind

@ Elev: Glad to see your lines again, and yes, maybe its the nature of our topic, it includes opening up. know this is not a save place like a restricted group with few members, but I meant to create this place for dreams about and for Japan in the public.

I followed your red forest link, and it is interesting my dream train rode through a pine forest. so a possible connection CERN (colliding)- Switzerland - Chernobyl - Fukushima - tsunami?

Still don't know what role CERN may play in all this.

In the links you mention I also see connections: Thriving wildlife around Chernobyl - my dream "Rats, Fish and Woolves" I feel relating to nuclear disaster in Japan.

@ tsunaH : It is great we are growing the dream together! Did another visualization. Interesting find about the sol/gel thing. Though it is used for the production of nuclear fuel, it may a well be helpful in containing the radiation!

I also heard that all the cooling with water sprayed on the reactor's core from outside wasn't expected to have any effect, so it was a surprise for me it did. And my heart felt: Maybe the dreaming, praying, visualizing efforts around the world DID have an effect in cooling. Only wasn't brave enough to share my feelings about it ...

Thanks for sharing tsunaH, it also helps me keeping up heling and cooling intentions for Japan

A woman I know gave me the permission to report here a dream she had a pair of nights before the earthquake in Japan. This woman is very spiritual. She has lost her young daughter from a bad cancer about 12 years ago. This is dream:

My daughter appears on the stairs leading to the flat where I leave. She holds in her hands boxes and test tubes for blood tests and other clinical analysis. In the meantime she also has the sheets with the results: they are bad and inauspicious. She is very sad and cries

This dream was in a strong contrast with other recent dreams the woman had, where the girl appeared very colourful, happy and bright for the life she leads where she is now. In one of these dreams she wanted her mother to promise that she would tell me (Massimo) that that is a place where life is much more real than here, although we are not completely separated.

When in our conversation we considered that possibly the dream could be connected to the coming earthquake on many levels, the woman said that this was the only way in which the dream would make sense to her. She also reported that the on the earthquake's night she slept very bad and restless, with frequent awakenings in which she felt she should pray for suffering people, although she didn't know the reason, that she learned only later in the morning.

Thanks Massimo for transmitting the woman's dream and thoughts, and for honoring the dreaming. Please send her my warm regards.

Dream makes me wonder what is the role of the souls of deceased in this. Often they are said to not being interested in earthly affairs. And especially after "time" has passed - whatever "time" means to them, but it seems to have an effect - I recall a presentation in PDC of Ed Kellogg about dreaming with or dreaming of the deceased.

Now I speculate through the cancer disease the woman as well as her deceased daughter may have a relation to the situation in Japan, where the high radiation levels may cause cancer.

I can't tell the difference now, if the woman you know dreamed of or with her daughter, I'm open to both possibilities.

Whatsoever, this dream feels to me like a precognition of the possible consequences of the earthquake and faulty reactors there. And it may well be the dream prepared the dreamer to open up for praying the night of catastrophe, so at last it may have been a call to action.

The other, bright dreams this woman told you, and the message they have especially for you warm my heart, Massimo! I also believe the saying "real" life begins after physical death. And my experience as well as knowing the experiences of many lead me to trust there is no entire separation between the physically living, and the souls living on. I believe the deceased connect to us in dreams and visions.

Thanks again for sharing!

Hi, Elew!

The wiki article you link to says it "all":

"It [the LHC] is expected to address some of the most fundamental questions of physics, advancing the understanding of the deepest laws of nature ...
The Large Hadron Collider was built by the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN)"

The red colour: Whatever works for you.
Iodine is taken to prevent radioactive Iodine (like emitted from faulty power plant) from entering thyroid gland and metabolism.

I choose light blue color because it relates to the healing system I once learned ("pranic healing" according to Choa Kok Sui). Also it is the color of skies, and worked well for me in my visualization. So, whatever works

Reactor 1 still needs cooling, radiation levels are rising again. Also it is said there may be a leak to a chamber under the core. Though the heroic workers in Japan installed the power lines! They are heroes to me, even though some doubt is cast if some were not forced to go there.

So let's keep up the healing and cooling intention!

Ralf
