Dream Journal

Falling asleep: The dark sparkle-field is really beautiful. After a while the deep purplish black waves of the satori seem white. And I saw such hot-spots! They were like glowing, pulsing neurons. What you’d imagine was based on the shapes and patterns of those pulsing colors. These colors are odd in that they can be shifted to any color scheme or depth pattern. From this a montage of dream imagery came forth. I found a direct correlation between breath and consciousness. Breathing empowers consciousness. Fear stops your breathing and freezes your consciousness on a thought, pulling you out of the flow and the now.
So I kept breathing deeply and went deeper. The initial dream images were based on the satori pattern, which took the form of a water hole with trees around it. Alice from Wonderland ran out of the water hole. I tried to interact with her but I didn’t feel like I was actually there. I could sort of warp aspects of the dream but it kept going on crazy.
There was a waterfall shaped like a fish, and more. The imagery in these was very clear and vivid. I must have lost it around here.
Satori: The satori pool, like any other stimuli, may become a part of the dream.
Dark and Light: There’s a certain quality to the satori waves that makes it possible at times for the light to seem dark and the dark to seem light. Our interpretation can shift.
