The insanity creature

OH MY GOD!

The hill with the Tower is actually a pretty place, and ancient.

There was this horrible thing, like pink flesh filling a cup. It had one eye and one mouth. Its eye was wrinkled and unfocused, or focused elsewhere. This was the insanity creature, which we thought we had contained. I was so curious, and asked to take it somewhere.

There was a familiar girl with me, a friend. We were dressed in white clothing. We escorted the thing together, but I couldn’t close the cup. Once inside the Tower, the test began.

Inside, the light was dim. In the middle there was a big, black orrery (a mechanical solar system model) on a big raised dais — like Augra’s from The Dark Crystal. Everything was in a black obsidian style, reminding me of a business office in the 90’s. It was mostly empty.

The orrery
A new herb: Bolero

The teacher had found a new herb, it was the opposite effect of marijuana, reversed it, he said, produced a purplish hazy effect. It was called . . . bolero? The leaves were thin with little symmetrical holes in them. The teacher was prepping me.

We walked up a set of wide steps. There was some horrible equipment belonging to the girl: a head clamp, a draining device, mirrors, and various horrible things. The insanity creature in the cup had given me two arm-length, erect penises, and put me on display, for all to see. I tried to hide them, but they were so nice, one had to be proud. It may have been done through the mirrors — I saw myself with them in the reflection. The mirrors lie — it isn’t your reflection.

She removed my glasses and I could still see fine, which proved to me that it was the spirit world. I calculated the picture instead of seeing it, seeing clear lines with light haze around them.

She lured me to her. I was so horny, I almost. . . . I wouldn’t let her go. I needed to be inside her, with both raging hard penises that the thing had given to me. I needed it so badly. That’s all I could think about. She changed and grew and shrunk, and I was forcing myself closer to her. I needed her, and she said yes but only if she could do it her way. I finally gave in and said yes. The moment I agreed, it was already over.

She had given me some intense drug, and used the draining equipment. The light was strobing. She was teasing me — she wasn’t going to let me have any; she never was.

Then Josh R and someone else came down. I pulled out of the drug madness and looked around. I recognized a sign and said it was Banana House. They smugly said “yes it is.” But it wasn’t — it was the Tower. I could control the drug-induced madness at times, but it snuck in everywhere, through those little mirrors that reflected out lies.

The strobing light and drug weirdness were to confuse me, but I stood up, walked around, and cleared my head. I turned off the strobe, almost became lucid, then woke up. That was my success. I got my dream!

I’m fighting this madness every night! See “Thought Form Games at Arcology Hill Stadium”. The games weren’t against Drax, they were against the insanity creature! It recreates reality. One must be stronger than it. It is all selfish desires, weakness, and needs.

That place was as solid and real as anything. This awareness isn’t the full story by far. Life is a dream, but that was fucking scary. Somehow, I know more of who I am, what I am doing now. I feel more complete.

I guess I’ll go back to sleep and see what happens. It’s 3:15 AM now. I’m uncertain what time I first went to sleep.

Later: In front of Blaine House, there are lots of big clear tornadoes coming from the west. I was outside, holding onto trees, but even they were being pulled up. So I went to the basement and it was small, weird, and empty of furniture. There were some other people there, too.

References: Banana House was the house I lived in at Oberlin. Josh R lived there too.

Incredible: This was one of the most incredible dream recalls I’ve ever had. So many details were there, even during the weirdest happenings and alterations of consciousness. The pure evil of the pink eye thing, the mirrors, the battle for what is real, and the challenge with the girl where I had to remain in control during the test. . . . It’s awe-inspiring.

To think, this was all a test by a teacher. The influence of the fleshy pink insanity creature, driving me towards sex. The insanity creature was a metaphor for the physical body, the source of all selfish desires. The strobe light was the distracting flash of the brighter but slower rate of physical consciousness. All of this represents the soul’s encounter with the physical creature it joins with in each incarnation. The soul’s goal being not to give in to the confusion and influence of the physical body’s selfish desires.

I was thrilled with the fact that I remembered this dream, which touches upon a deeper level of myself, the nightly work of my dream self.

The Mirrors Lie: The mirrors were a particularly insidious trick. They’d reflect lies. It would be you in almost every respect, but with lies built in — one or two changes, and it would be hard not to believe that what you saw was real. A powerful tool to use on nonlucid dreamers.

Tornadoes: These appear from time to time, usually more than one, sweeping the landscape.

The Madness Drug: In my experience, astral drugs have immediate effects, as they don’t need to be metabolized. It’s likely then that once I had given in to her, the girl had given me the bolero, causing the madness and strobing light, and then drained me.

Vision by Calculation: How interesting. At times I’ve seen all of reality as being derived from a simple mathematical formula with infinite answers, as the Source spirals out into all shapes and forms, all possibility.
