More Lucid Dreams
« on: January 20, 2010, 10:08:30 PM »
   This goes back to the night of the New Moon, on the 15th. It's been gnawing at me ever since. So here goes. I started having those lucid dreams again, that I posted about once before. The ones where they just come at me in stacatto fashion. It was even more intense this time. When I woke up the next morning, the dreams seemed like they were still running through my mind. I had a very difficult time, and struggling, trying to distinguish between my dreams and reality. I really couldn't tell if some of these things actually happened to me, or were just dreams. It was a very disconcerting morning for me. I had my morning coffee and still, these feelings just wouldn't go away. And there was only one dream that night, that wasn't just a flash through my mind. The one that stood out, and seemed to last more than a second or two, was a dream about a cat, that my son had. (And my son doesn't even own a cat). Anyway, I had been around this cat for awhile, and one evening, this cat came up to me and seemed like it just wanted to play. And after a few minutes, it started speaking to me. And it was telepathically. But the voice was as clear in my head as if we were carrying on a conversation.
  OK. Now here's the weird part. As I said, all these dreams were still replaying through my head the next morning, and even after my coffee, I still felt like I was in the twilight zone. Now, I live on a boat, and there are some people who live on a boat a few slips down from me that have a cat. There's an older gent, who is very reclusive, and I seldom see. He has a satallite TV dish hooked up to his boat and he stays cooped up in there, it seems like all the time. He has a son, maybe in his late 20's or early 30's, who stays there part time. I think he is a web site designer or something like that. He will be there for a couple of weeks at a time, and then be gone for several weeks. It seems like I only see that cat around when the son is there. So maybe he takes the cat with him when he travels, I don't really know.
   But anyway, on the morning I was speaking of, after my coffee, I came up out of the cabin and lo and behold, what do I see, there's that cat, laying on top of my boat. Right after I had the dream of a cat talking to me. I don't mind telling you, it weirded me out somewhat.
  Now this is especially directed toward Angelite, as I highly respect her experience and wisdom in such matters. I have nothing against the cat itself. But I am familiar, with familiars, so to speak. If this cat is being used as a familiar, I'm not sure how to respond to this. Like I say, I have no animosity toward the cat itself, but I don't particuraly like the idea of having it used in such a way, if that is the case.
  There is a very tiny parking area for the marina here, and during the summer, it gets very crowded. This past summer, it got a little viscious. This reclusive gent I spoke of, would try to hem people in if he couldn't get his usual parking spot. (And it's first come, first serve, kind of deal).
  anyway, not sure how to handle all this. I truly don't want to harm the cat, but I really don't want him around, either.

Hi Aldeberan, I am curious also, in regards to what the cat had to say.  Was the conversation a mutual, comfortable exchange or where you left feeling uncomfortable, at the time?

Interesting that you used the term familiar.  I am not sure how much you know about what exactly a familiar is but much of the information about familiars is not really correct.  Most info comes from the days of the witch trials and persecutions and as such is false information.  You seem uncomfortable with the fact that this is what the cat may represent.  Is this because you believe that the cat is a familiar of the man and may be being used for his less than positive motives?  Sorry for so many questions but the feeling I am getting is that the cat may be choosing you, because you are the only person that can communicate with it and there is a much deeper, spiritual link that you may not be aware of.  I am not feeling that it has anything at all to do with the man.  I also do not believe in coincidence, I believe in Co-Incidents and it is certainly a very interesting Co-Incident to have the cat appear to you in the physical, the very morning that you have these dreams that you are communicating with it.  To me, it is a confirmation that there is much more to this and that it is more than a simple dream.  We are usually given very strong confirmation when it is something important.  It seems to me that you have been given this as a way of making you aware that this is not just a dream.

A little information on familiars for you.

During the witch trials, a familiar was thought to be a supernatural being that often manifested in the form of a cat or some other animal,  They were basically thought to be a demon or evil entity that assisted witches and magicians in their work.  Witches would supposedly send their familiars to help them with their magic, when they wanted to use it against others.  This is totally false and as we all know, those that were accused of being  witches were persecuted and murdered.  The familiar was one way of proving that someone was a witch when often it was nothing more than a companion.

In reality, pagans and witches had a familiar, that was often more of a protector or guardian.  The telepathic exchange between person and familiar was due to the familiar choosing the person that they would love, protect and work with.  Nothing evil and nothing forced on the animal but rather a relationship of love and commitment.  Familiars are much more than the animal they appear to be.  They are there for the person to help and guide them, provide healing and companionship and it is a totally mutual relationship. 

Blessings

It will be a GOOD DAY when all stand in a circle as one, with no judgment, no one language, no one right way, no one sexual rite, and no one colour - all COLOURS!.......Aho

Thanks.

  The cat is just a common, gray colored tabby. And I don't remember the exact converstion with the cat. When I woke up the next morning, I had a lot of stuff running through my head. Felt very disoriented, trying to sort everything out. It was just a shock, to me, to see that cat on my boat after dreaming about him that night. The conversation with the cat didn't feel threatning at all, it was a comfortable exchange. In fact, I felt that the cat had a lot of wisdom.

  And thanks about the familiars, too. I didn't know that the familiars chose the person. That is interesting. I seen the cat again last night, after I posted this thread. I stepped out to take a look at the night sky, and as soon as I went out, the cat hopped off my boat and trotted away. I wouldn't mind getting to know the cat a little better, but I don't want conflict with anybody. They may think I'm trying to steal their pet or something.

 I lean toward angelite's perception here and wonder why your thoughts revolved around the idea of a familiar before it could be perceived that it could have been a higher sign to you in your waking reality.

 As far as making waves (pun intended) with the neighbors about the idea of theft of a pet, love or fear is at the apex of any decision.

Get to know the cat or
Fear how the neighbors may interpret the interaction.

I suppose, because of some hard feelings generated during the parking lot wars last summer, and I know who the cat belongs to.
Guess I can just leave it up to the cat. If he comes around again, I'll make friends with him.

Cats are very independent. The neighbors have to know that by now.

I don't see it as a must to "make friends" with the cat more than just allowing what already IS

  Had some more dreams last night. One of them real crazy. Seems like most of my dreams that I can remember are fairly realistic. But this one, not so much. One element of the dream, I think I got from my recent vist to Portland over Christmas, to visit my son and granddaughters. Played a lot of games with them while I was there, kids toys and stuff. My youngest granddaughter has an 'Etch-a-sketch', and we played with that several times. So guess what was in this dream. An Etch-a-sketch'. The granddaughter wasn't in the dream, just the etch-a-sketch, and there was a cat inside of it. LOL! But it was like an animated cat, or cartoon cat, and it was wearing glasses. And the cat was doing all of the drawing on the etch-a-sketch, from inside of it, I was merely an observer. It was drawing complex geometrical figures, a lot of sacred geometry in it. And it was drawing them in blazing speed, I could hardly keep up with it. I don't seem to have a lot of dreams like that, LOL, but it was very interesting.
  I had a bunch more of the stacatto type dreams, too. And I'm still feeling disoriented the next morning, from those. These dreams are like de javu type dreams, I guess I could say. There are people, places and things in these dreams that seem so familiar, like I know them, or have been to some of these places before. And I rack my brain trying to remember if I've actuallly been there, or know some of these people or not. Or could they be flashes from past lives? And another thing that occured to me, could they be dreams of the future? I'm still convinced that in higher dimensions, time may not even exist, or will be so different from what we know now.

LOL  :D

It sounds like your waking consciousness and subconscious are playing a game of tag Ald.

PS. Cats are great with sacred geometry.  :wink2:

Love it!  Past lives and precognition my dear!  I believe you are right with regard to time, time is an earthly construct. My thoughts too.

I also believe that de ja vu is us remembering the snipets of the life we are leading now as seen before we took the challenge of that incarnation.

The cat is right where it needs to be.  It's telling you to look inside yourself!

Something else to ponder  ;D.

Sorry, I had to come back in here and write a couple of things not sure if they are useful to you but there was more than the "look within" but at the time I couldn't quite grasp it. 

You say you have fun playing with your Granddaughters and yes you probably, secretly, enjoy playing with the toys also? Treat the cat like you would your Granddaughters. This also means the same in regard to the people and the "parking wars".  I'm not sure what this means but "Remember your childhood"?

I feel like there's a deflection of negativity via the use of humour.  Getting back to that inner child, that is the secret to deflecting any uncomfortable situation. The onus is on you should the situation arise. Humour is the key here.

By far the most usual way of handling phenomena so novel that they would make for a serious rearrangement of our preconceptions is to ignore them altogether, or to abuse those who bear witness to them.

Thanks Talasmasca. I appreciate the input. And that goes for all of you, I appreciate the different perspectives from everybody. And yes, I do enjoy playing with my grandaughters. I guess I could say, I enjoyed my childhood, and never grew up. I have an inner child that is alive and well in me. And anybody that doesn't, maybe should explore it a little more. I remember my childhood well. I can remember aunts and uncles, and a grandpa and grandma who would spend time with me, where most of them would have excuses that they didn't have time, were too busy. The ones who made time for you, it seemed like became your favorite aunts and uncles and grandparents. So as old as I am, I don't think I'm going into my second childhood, I just haven't finished my first one yet.
