Owl Dream

For awhile now I've had pain behind my right eye.  Lately it's gone to the side of my face also. I couldn't sleep.   Pain indicates resistance.  What was I resisting?  I spent a couple of hours figuring that out and it was almost 2am.  Then a "suggestion" popped in to my mind to align my eye with the eye of the owl that was in my dream a few days ago.  I "wore" the white owl wing like a mask over the pain of my face.  Within minutes the pain was gone.
The Owl Dream from March 14
Then the Guardians put in front of me a wing of a White Owl with an Owl Eye at it's shoulder.  The Eye is like a jewel and hypnotic.  They tell me to feed the group with the meat of this owl wing.  I really don't want to.  It's beautiful and feels sacred.  They insist gently that I must and I start to pluck the feathers and cry.  I want to be able to save the Eye.  And I cry at having to deconstruct this beautiful thing....I wake up as I get a call from work to come in early.

Tattoo Dream

Some one was putting a tattoo of a sigil on my left shoulder.  I was shown that it was the 13th and last in a series.  They called it "Danville".  Then below it they tattooed a symbol for "Tiferet".  I had no idea what either of these meant and have spent a lot of time today doing some research.  I believe Danville meant Place of Dan.

Raising Your Vibration With Beethoven

This is a channeled message from Bashar/Anka on using the purity of this Beethoven piece to release negativity and then raise your vibration.  I've been listening to it before sleeping and it's given me interesting dreams of new layers of reality.  I wake up with more clarity.

Pope Dream

The Pope was standing to the left of a young woman with blond hair.  They were about 12 feet apart.
Suddenly his Vital Energy swooshed to the woman and into her...  She now had his Power.

The next morning in Real Time the Pope announced he was stepping down.

This is a good reminder to let be more joyful which is more productive in "saving the world" than by focusing what is wrong.

Dreams

I am in Los Angeles and it is hit by a Tsunami.  While dreaming this I thought I was actually watching an action movie then slowly realized it was a dream I was in.

The Waves keep coming.  I'm in an upscale restaurant on the ocean with large windows in all directions.  I see the Wave about to hit again going TO the ocean.  No one seems to pay attention that this Wave is about to hit and go on eating.  The Wave shatters the glass and still people continue with their meal.
On the opposite side of the restaurant I see large rocks along the beach with young people (in their 20's) coming out of the water fixing their clothes, zipping pants and belting belts.  There is a sexual element but not with each other but with the Wave.
Two days later I have another dream and a few of the young people are now gathering in New Mexico along with a couple here.  Mostly men and a couple of young women.  They have come to work on a project and I'm the project manager.  I find them places to stay and we will meet again for a meal after they are settled down.
Then the Guardians put in front of me a wing of a White Owl with an Owl Eye at it's shoulder.  The Eye is like a jewel and hypnotic.  They tell me to feed the group with the meat of this owl wing.  I really don't want to.  It's beautiful and feels sacred.  They insist gently that I must and I start to pluck the feathers and cry.  I want to be able to save the Eye.  And I cry at having to deconstruct this beautiful thing....I wake up as I get a call from work to come in early.

In real life my computer and wifi both went dead right after I last posted...along with several lamps and outlets.  Relationships flipped.  What was is no longer.  Others got stronger.  I can't say I'm the same person I was a month ago.  Mr. "PC" is almost always in my dreams now just around the corner.
