Very disturbing dream last night.
Was in this building and was aware that a couple of men had just been taken captive by some kind of middle east armed rebel militia group...I think that's the word..there was me and a group of people i don't know and we saw these men being marched off with guns in their backs.
It was very frightening and the atmosphere was dangerious then we all thought 'don't look at the rebels taking the men off as the least we know and the least we see the better, otherwise we could get into trouble with them ourselves'.
Just as we thought this gun men burst in throught the door and we all froze to the stop as we were faced with all these guns.
The gunmen counted off five people from the left hand side of the crowd and I was one of them. The rest of the people were allowed to go.
I was truly terrified as I thought 'oh god anything could happen to me. there's no escpape. these men could rape me or kill me or hold me hostage for years and years and I have no control now as I am totally in their power'. I can't convey how totally terrifying it was.
Then one of the gunmen said to another 'set up a card table' and I can't remember more than that.
Any thoughts peeps?
RE: held at gunpoint by armed rebels!
hi queensmeadgirl
well... the day before yesterday i was feeling very exhausted in the afternoon and went to bed and dreamt:
i was in a village in a india perhaps. i walked into aside alley and there were two gaming machines. i noticed they were not locked and there was a great deal of money inside. there were also maps in these machines.i took the money and went to return it to the owners of the gaming machines.
the owners, a man and a woman were not obviously pleased at what i had done. the man made a phone call and i then hearda very sinistervoice say, clearly audible andcoming from my left side: "you are goind to die". i looked at the man and he confirmed i would have to be killed as i was a now a key witness to a serious crime racket. i woke and was actually quite amused at this sinister voice thinking: "who or what is trying to frighten me?" and "tell me something i don't know?" i also knew that i might have been a little naive in what i had done but knew that the decision to act honestly (if naively) meant that i was innocent of any crime and was therefore invulnerable.
awareness and love is all there is in the infinite void out of which darkness and light are separated and the i am speaks: everything else has no base... it appears that everthing comes out of cause and effect and randomness all mixed up together... but it is our faith, our choice, our hearts that guide us through this dream in which we live...
there is nothing...
no-thing whatsoever...
to worry about 🙂
(obviously five is a significant number too... mahakala, my avatar, has a crown of five skulls each representing perfeced wisdom energies transformed from the five afflictive emotions. he also represents the destruction of all compounded things... he is time... into this void all conditions of sufferingdisperse and only awareness ofultimatepeace remains)
RE: held at gunpoint by armed rebels!
Very interesting your dream.
In mine I felt I was being told that by turning a blind eye and not involvling myself I had STILL found myself in the very situation I have been afraid of and trying to avoid - captured by the rebels.
In your dream you did involve yourself and you did do the 'right thing' and you found yourself also being threatened with death.
And yes it was very clear to me that the number 5 was prominent in the dream....I actually think there was something else in my dream that was 5 but can't recall what.
Interesting that you have the gaming machines and I had the card tables... I remember thinking in the dream 'I'm in this terrifying situation and now they're talking about card games???l
You are very clear about the voice coming from the left side and I am very clear about the people to the left of the crowd being chosen to be held captive....and both our dreams are in foreign undeveloped countries....

hi queensmeadgirl
yes there are some striking correlations in our two dreams. they also have similar elements to this string; coincidence (or not?).

the word sinister comes from the latin for left; dexter is right. there is no intrinsically negative nature to the "left side". but it is a side where we tend to sense certain things particularly relating to fear of death i think. it is also connected to the right brain... more intuitive aspects of our nature.
this intuitive awareness doesn't cut things up rationally... it doesn't see cause and effect in the way that the rational mind comprehends causality to be linear. the intuitive sees things much more in terms of feelings and connects to deeper aspects of our natures... am i stating the obvious?
this realm is whereour patterns of habits are stored and these emotional patterns are the real force that drives the course of our lives. we normally think of things as being outside ourselves, of being subject and object; that act upon us or we act upon them. this is the rational mind talking whichis actually much less in control than the intuitive feeling mind. it is the rational mind that thinks that thinks "coincidence" or "we are subject to random events". the intuitive mind just acts with pure intention and we have to learn to be the "helmsman" of our intention to sail across the ocean to our destination.
we train this heart mind by not acting to benefit the "me" self but to benefit all in everthing we think and do. we get closer togetting to knowthis part of ourselves in meditation. and so we slowly transform afflictive emotions into wisdom energies and become masters of our destiny.
