This thread makes me think of my 6th or so journey.
I found myself standing upright in a tight box (I was laying down on the bed) and there were 4 shadow beings licking and stroking me with their tentacles and tongues. Instantly I got a feeling they were trying to steal my energy. Or take something away from me.
I had no idea what was going to happen. But as soon as I accepted that I was locked in this box with these beings they just went -poof- into soft clouds of silent black smoke / mist, and as it cleared I could see that the door had opened itself revealing a magnificent display of vibrant colors spilling over me, very sunset / sunrise like.
It was beautiful.
So yeah, Spiral Eye, thanks for the point of view
With every great plan comes the pleasure of patience. Take a rest, and grab a suckle off the teat of life!
