| From Within the Womb of a Dream by Robert JudeAce Dreams liberate our evolving psyches from the demons imprisoning our inner souls … haunted emotions emanating from deep within the core of our beings, are awarded the opportunity to become unrestrained … scents of negative thought dissolve from the patterns of past lifetimes and transform into familiar fragrances of future conquests … as I'm in the dreamscape, when the Now is manifest, all elements of my psychological nature are presented and viewed with lucid candor … the beasts residing in the synapses of my "unconscious" thought, transmute into saviors of introspection … molecules of motion shift the blueprint skin surrounding my mind, as to shed the remnants of past lifetimes and flow into the movement of the present dream cycle. Well the other night, I had dream both revelatory as well as cryptic. It was truly enticing, in the sense that I was able to consciously "bend" or "alter" the environment and objects within the dream. The experience was a purging of my individual psyche and an internal hunger to evolve the world I'm presently residing in … I'm focusing my psychic energy into the core of my dreams by redirecting the road I'm traveling on at that moment … good and evil, black and white, angelic and demonic forms, are the quintessential archetypes hidden within our collective thought … the blending or altering of the polar realities, or balancing the forces of creation, comprise the realm of Abraxas … the world of shadows become illuminating. Andre Breton surmised, "In the depths of our minds are concealed strange forces capable of augmenting or conquering those on the surface. It is our greatest interest to capture them." To paraphrase Eckhart, all the devils are really angels just waiting to set you free. I'm outside a mansion seemingly under reconstruction under renovation … it's bedside a dirt road obscured by overgrown shrubs and the corners of the roof are dripping with blood … there's surreal blue hues pulsating from within the windows accompanied by thunderous taunts of invitation … something is luring me to enter … the "front door is locked but open," says a sign on the door breathing in and out like rubber … I decide to pass through the door by osmosis, becoming transparent … rays of sunlight are smashing against the glass roof above me and the light is broken down into a spectrum … as I stare into the colors, there are loud voices coming from another room, actually sounds like singing, reminding me of the mythological Sirens … I'm standing on a floor of earth, where I notice, next to a fireplace are these small Gothic creatures dancing close to the flames; chanting songs to a "magic-sun animal" … their voices are incredibly human. I begin to realize, I'm in my mind's mansion where all the elements of my being are housed … I sense something is about to unravel … I enter another room where I notice a middle-aged woman sitting in a large wooden chair, on a neon-green seat … I'm reminded of the Museum of Natural History, for there's knight's armor scattered all about and the chair reminds me of Louis the 15th … the woman is dressed in neo-modern clothing … she's sitting at the head of a long table mixing potions and reading labels … there's old books, glass flasks, lit candles and bottles of day-glo powders and solutions strewn about the table … as I approach her, I notice the table has an inscription in the center, shaped like a triangle, endowed with what appears to be extraterrestrial hieroglyphics … she peers over to me with a soothing smile and winks as if she's trying to hint at something … suddenly, there's loud thumping on the walls as though someone or something wants to enter but there's no doors … everything is now in slow-motion, even the sun's rays piercing through the spotted ceiling … I begin to become a bit overwhelmed by the dense mist of apprehensive emotion reverberating about this room as an abrupt gust of wind pins me to the floor and as I look upon the smile of the woman, I laugh and exclaim "what a wild dream!" While on the floor, I notice a vanity mirror across from me … I'm sideways on the floor and as I look into the mirror, I see my reflection shift into a myriad of faces … I am now in the skeleton of my psyche, in the membrane of my collective memory … facets of my selves are free-flowing and I know I'm dreaming and so attempt to rearrange the situation as I lay down on my back … I want to be cooled off for I'm sweating (sweating a trial of power…) I'm successful, for I now find myself in a large pool, floating on a cushion of electrical wire … I see the woman again, now sitting in a lounge chair by the side of the pool, knitting a very large sweater with hypodermic needles … she looks at me and mentions "I can still feel you inside my womb." Suddenly, I'm transported next to a waterfall inside the middle of the NY Botanical Gardens … I can hear opera, sounds like Maria Calles, echoing from the spacious Orchard Garden â €¦ I lie down on the grass and whip out my cell phone and begin speaking to a female voice who begins to give me instructions on how to download the "spiritual software" needed to make my "dream connections clear and free of distortion …" I begin to explain that this may be difficult because I'm going to Manhattan to get to the Holland Tunnel and there may be dead zones in the tunnel … she laughs and says, "On my phone there is no dead time," she then adds, "a dream is what you allow it to be … " I'm back at the pool … I see the woman standing beside a computer where she suggests "to look into the programming and when you access a disk-like object, switch to the topic you find most attractive … the code to the infinite structure of form … the formula waiting to be encoded." She points to the computer under a sun- umbrella by the side of the pool … as I look into the monitor, I notice a gray circle with bold black words stating to "click here for lucid dreaming and here for prophecy …" As I look back to her, she's gone … there's a virtual hand in the air with long rainbow-painted nails pointing at the screen where it now prompts to "download dreams." At this point, I'm a bit overwhelmed by the clarity and vivid impressions unfolding … I type into the computer {c:setup/deadzone} to see if I get a response from my mother who died at childbirth … (maybe this is the woman I'm seeing in my dream?) On the monitor I see "download failure, try again." This time I type in {c: setup/oversoul} … the response is affirmative …" ENTER" … enter where, I ask myself? "enter everywhere" it responds, without my typing anything into it, sort of like mental telepathy with a computer … I look at the computer and command it to transform into a brain and it does so! Pulsating with an orange glow … the brain commands me to look to the sky … a female voice then asks me to enter and I begin to realize I'm being reborn from the womb of this dream … © Robert JudeAce Used with permission. |
