Last night I had some really great dreams that were very powerful which I wanted to share.

It went something like this: I was with a woman and she was lying down in a room with a medicine woman giving her a sort of ritual like massage. She told me that she could feel her (apparently deceased) Grandmother while she was holding this grey wool wrapped object against her face. Suddenly I traded her places and I was receiving this ritual massage.

I found myself holding this wool object against my face, and then I realized I could sense MY deceased Grandmothers presence and I was hugging her again for the first time in years. Almost as soon as I had this realization I felt a strong shock and I partially woke up and noticed that my arm was in an awkward position and had fallen asleep; I adjusted my arm and was simultaneously awake and aware of my body while still maintaining the dream.

Seconds later I was fully into the dream again but this time the medicine woman was setting up a new place for me to lie. She held up two sets of leaves one Yerba Santa and the other white Sage, she placed the leaves on the ground so that they would outline my body as I lay in the center. Along with the leaves she placed feathers. I lay face down in the middle of this ceremonial set up and she begins stroking my back with feathers and perhaps smoke. She is saying something and soon she pulls my arms back and places a cacti in each of my hands, I know what to do, I grab on to them tightly and she pulls hard so that the spines dig into my hands, the pain is real. She is very pleased that I have committed to this and declares me a healer.

Next thing I know I am in a stone pool and she is pouring very cold water in, I dive into the water and it feels so clean and so refreshing; something about the ice cold water is very very special, it gives me power. I then dive straight down deep into the crystal clear water and do half of an underwater backflip, I am underwater on my back looking to the sky and I feel the greatest sensation, very much like losing yourself into the void, the same feeling of forever, completeness, and unity.

I felt very empowered by this dream and it was a great gift during a rough week. There was one other dream that followed right after that for some reason I feel sort of tied into the first.

It starts out I am in a bedroom with my wife and we turn on the light and hundreds of thousands of spiders break from a formation and scatter into dark corners. We are freaked out, I turn off the light again and the spiders return to a tight knit rectangular formation, there are a LOT of spiders. I pull out a flashlight and a few break away but I manage to work up the courage to examine them and they start to speak to me.

The spiders tell me that they come out at night and they tell people secrets. I tell them I hope they aren't crawling on us or on our bed and they sort of laugh at me. We begin to tell them secrets so that they may pass on the message to others, I can't remember what the secrets were but as soon as we relay the message they climb up the wall and instantly melt straight into it, leaving only a blackish goo.

I am pretty freaked out by spiders in reality, so this was an odd dream in that there was basically a sea of them in my room and I wasn't all that scared by them. Also, it's a bit weird that my signature is an excerpt from a song that is basically exactly what went on here. I haven't heard the song or even glanced at my signature in a long time either.

thanks for reading, hope you enjoyed as much as I did!
