The people I become in this sleepwake state may indeed be "incantations" but it's too rapid and confining s thought for me to tag them as "incarnations" of my present self. There's a lot more out there in the multiverse than we can possibly explain in linear terms. Anyway, the joy of this experience lies not in how we may interpret it but in the fact that it can be read and savored, quite simply, as a story.Robert Mosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09231870716685877709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-925549664214256461.post-49117984666916800002010-01-17T15:24:48.963-05:002010-01-17T15:24:48.963-05:00I had the strongest feeling that both the characte...I had the strongest feeling that both the characters in your dream were previous incantation of the you today as they even verged on merging at one point and I think you were about to realise you lived somewhere you had lived in a previous life when you awoke, such a wonderful insight intouch experience.cobwebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04701847617673790053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-925549664214256461.post-10407723935841436272010-01-17T14:52:10.164-05:002010-01-17T14:52:10.164-05:00She reminds me of a lady in blue I met once before...She reminds me of a lady in blue I met once before, when I traveled to a spiral galaxy on the other side of the obvious. <br /><br />How intriquing!!

If I were you, I'd be open to delightful adventures in dorveille now you are primed for them. <br /><br />Wanda, as you write of a ladies' pocket watch you remind me of an earlier cycle of wakedream adventures that I have yet to post or publish. Your encounters with a past owner of your house are a fascinating chronicle of the benign activity of a certain kind of house spirit, and you generously allowed me to write a little about them in my "Dreamer's Book of the World".<br /><br />Barbara, your-well chosen Hamlet quote puts in a nutshell something central to my personal experience of inner and other worlds, over all of this lifetime: the easiest way to travel to another universe is to become vanoishingly small.Robert Mosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09231870716685877709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-925549664214256461.post-46487656781012127822010-01-16T01:03:41.471-05:002010-01-16T01:03:41.471-05:00Savannah, I love that rhyme of dorveille and merve...Savannah, I love that rhyme of dorveille and merveille, thank you.

Every night, ending with a cliff-hanger saved her neck.<br /><br />I didn't need much storyteller's art to end this tale from dorveille where I did; the noise of my family entering the working day accomplished that. You never know. The report is exactly as I wrote it down when I got to my desk, innocent of edits and revisions.

My dreams invited me into the landscape of the original owner - Mary Vandeveer Edwards. The dreams moved effortlessly into waking reality where letters written in her hand found their way to me, where I awoke still hearing the discordant chords of her anger as she pounded on the piano in the parlor a floor below, where people found their way to my door offering a Chinese vase, a small Victorian pincushion, other trinkets and even larger pieces of furniture once owned by her that they felt needed to be in her house again; and, the most beautiful moment where I found a Victorian clear glass necklace while I was digging a garden at the back door. I knew it was hers and the light sparkled through it when I cleaned the dirt away. I bought it a black silk cord and wear it occasionally when I wish to feel just a moment of crossing time. I could travel in that glass jewel - and might. I wonder where it will take me.Wanda Burchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15451187361106279187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-925549664214256461.post-1650684460926683152010-01-15T09:33:10.740-05:002010-01-15T09:33:10.740-05:00Fascinating and instructive on how you go into dor...Fascinating and instructive on how you go into dorveille. It's lovely to read, but I think I appreciate even more the way this account opens my eyes (pun...pun? definitely intended...) to possibilities. I asked myself immediately why I don't get such delicious travels in the same wakesleep state...maybe because I just didn't realize that it's possible.<br /><br />I woke from a dream of singing. I was performing in what was probably a church worship service, singing with a mike (I usually don't sing "plugged in"), and with two hispanic women singing the same song, echoing me, but translating the song into spanish. And they sang in harmony - in thirds.<br /><br />They were singing translators.<br /><br />Fascinating.<br /><br />Happy Friday- GintaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
