Perhaps the dot is you? A manifestation of your ego and fears.
It reminds me of a waking dream/vision I've had since early childhood, a void of sandy white with a tiny black dot at the point of my focus, this would be accompanied by a low distant hum, peaceful at first, at some point more dots would begin to materialise and the hum intensify and vibrate within me, fear for MY dot would arrive as the peaceful scene became overwhelmed by a flood of encroaching black and the hum became like all the sounds in the universe threatening to turn me to dust. Most often, I would snap myself out, back into the room heart racing eyes wide, but one day, not so long back, it happened again for the first time in nearly a year, this time I decided I'd see it through and allow the experience to play out, I figured, it was time to face it, so I clenched my fists and actually said out loud, "Come on then! What IS it you want?" Instantly, the humming shrank like an echo in a large building, and I was now a sandy white dot in a black embracing void. Peace again.
I got from this that I'd clung to what I'd always been led to feel comfortable with, but that it was just one side of the coin, that fear had hidden truth and that something seemingly terrifying was as comfortable as what I'd been clinging to all those years. It was the best Yin and Yang lesson I have ever had! Not all is what it may first seem I suppose.
Ive since talked with demons, carnivorous goats, giant hellish boars and all manner of nightmarish beings.
What follows is pretty grim, so if you get suggested imagery easily, I just thought I'd better add this!
One of the most terrifying and stomach churning was a creature akin to the one in the movie "The Thing", in my trip, I found myself in a city, but could find no people, only blood and torn clothing, everywhere! As I wandered the slippery streets I eventually realised I'd been hearing a strange moaning in the distance and was now getting closer to its source. It was coming from the entrance to a subway station, which I entered and decended to the platforms. Couldn't stop myself, I felt overwhelmingly alone and had to know what it was. I picked my way to the bottom of the 'jam' covered escalators and looked up.
IT was there! Wrapped in and around a train, down through the tunnels, across the walls and ceiling.
A writhing mass of flesh and bits of shredded people, crying! You can imagine my terror and the uncontrollable wretching , and the smell!, but I was fixed to the spot, here was every person in the city and the thing which had killed them, and the crying had stopped. Thousands of eyes slid through the mass towards me and pieces of mouths came together on the wall beside me. And it spoke, with what seemed like the voices of all of its victims, "Don't touch me! Don't come any closer! I did not mean for this, please be very still, I need to explain." So I stood there and listened. It turned out the being was something akin to an intelligent virus, an explorer from another reality which had been drawn to the spiritual energies of the beings in the city, and had tried to make contact. But as soon as it had made physical contact with the first person it had encountered, a reaction had occurred, whereby every artery, vein, muscle and fibre had instantly become fully stretched out, ripping the being apart and then every being touched by a piece of the first did the same, so that within a matter of moments, every living thing in the city had been shredded and was now fused to the entity, still alive and aware!!! So the creature had dragged its new self down into the ground to avoid any more encounters and had been wailing away with its new found voice in the hours since the incident. We talked of its options and eventually I found myself in a different place talking to an old man about what it would be like be a bird for a while. So we flew off to try it. ....such is the way of it sometimes!
I don't mean to suggest that all entities are just misunderstood, there are many which have a very different perception than ours like a predator to its prey, or perhaps like a tree has to a bird, there are defiantly creatures which actually feed on fear from corporeal beings and are parasitic in nature. I have been shown these in a witch mirror ritual and told how they exist as a shadow in the perifery of the vision, they have no real power, just the suggestion that something is lurking or following, and that is how they feed, that shiver up the spine is enough, but a scream and terrific flight lets them gorge on the release of energy. Easy to defeat, and I was tempted to try to talk with one once, but there was no point all it got was my lack of fear, and so disappeared off in the form of an owl then a fox then just part of the shadows.
My experiences have been either with LSD, Psyilocibin, and lucid dreaming and sometimes just through forcing my perception out of the norm, something a Shamen taught me to do years ago, just meditate for a time then try to see the world a bit like one of those magic eye pictures, works quite well with things like woodland or grasses, you just focus on the darkest point you can see and try to allow the patterns become fluid, like staring, but your very intently focused on that dark point, eventually you try to see what the patterns are hinting at and bring your focus out to this new view! Takes a bit of practice and its very hard to keep the vision as your mind is constantly trying to put you back where you 'know' your really sat, but Ive actually scared the crap out of myself at how effective it can be, but hell, its free and most controllable!
Ive not taken the plunge with spice yet! But Im just considering preparing some shrooms that presented themselves earlier on a walk!
OK, I really do babble on sometimes. Sorry!
