well if ToS - or any other forum with Dream threads - existed in 2006 when I had that particular dream I would have posted it there & I am sure I would have hardly changed a single word - apart from "Imagine my feelings when I saw a similar jungle in Avatar???" It was a very impressive dream, very vivid, including sensations of moisture, temperature, balance, smell... not something that happens every day so it was easy to remember it. I guess we can't remember - or recall - every single dream... Poor head, what will happen to it!

Moco Loco is probably right about the brain rationalizing things; it would be difficult for it to cope otherwise.

Aurora, that was an amazing "waking dream"! Pandora or not... maybe a similar world. Who knows? But it was beautiful. I am sure there are lots of mangrove forests on Pandora, & the tides will be huge, too - you would know, Dr. Grace

Here goes The Canoe Dream (actually it was a meditation, or "waking dream"

I arrive to a coast in a canoe - my race lives on some islands, & I am curious to meet "the land Na'vi" that some of my clan had seen. We are purple & we keep the tsaheylu fibres in two braids; i guess it's a fashion. The canoe hits the sand, I pull it out & step on the beach. There is a jungle very similar to this picture on Keeping the feeling alive thread, only the rocks to the right of the pic aren't there, & the colours are so much brighter; everything is "alive", one can feel it.



It's almost twilight & some bioluminiscence is already seen. There is an incredibly beautiful tree , it looks a bit like Tree of Souls with long willowy branches but it also has big pink flowers like those of a magnolia with tsaheyly fibers in them. I make the bond with the tree & perceive the jungle life; I can also feel that there are some Na'vi in the forest watching me. I unbond & step back; I dont want to barge in "like a stupid ignorant baby making noise". Instead, I keep my spear in hand & stand straight, it's neither a threatening nor a submissive gesture but a simple "I am here; I am waiting for you". They come out; they are blue! Fascinating. We "scan" each other with eyes; they perceive I am no danger. The leader makes the I See You gesture. Curiously, my clan has the same greeting gesture, so I reply gladly. We do See each other altho I am sure our language is different. They motion "Follow"; I do. We walk a short way into the forest to a clearing. There is a rock in the middle & people sitting in semicircle around it. It seems a meeting place. The elder, i think their Man of Knowledge smiles, & the others move & make room for me. I sit down. Everybody joins hands, & it's a "mind melding": our queues are on the grass, we are connected thru the roots, the land & our hands so we know what we feel or think - altho we can choose what thoughts we want to share; it's not such a complete & direct bond as lovers make with queues. The elder speaks in my mind; I understand him cos it's a thought, not words really: "We welcome you altho you're different and because you're different; you might have the knowledge that could be interesting for us. From our side we're ready to share ours". I reply in thought: "I am honoured".. They can feel thru the connection that I am sincere. The chant starts, it seems everything is brighter, brighter, brigher, the rock in the middle is almost incadescent; the earth around it in the centre of our semicircle becomes transparent & we can see stars thru it... and then it's a wormhole tunnel & I shall say no more at the moment. Too intense.
