The Other Side?

[bryson]

I'm just going to go with the idea that where I was in my dreams last night, was "the other side," for lack of a better phrase. Every time I go somewhere that feels like the other side while I'm there, it's always very crowded. Y'all the other side is crowded as hell to me. (I don't believe in hell, but that's beside the point.) The last couple of nights in my dreams I had the feeling of being at the dream site before, maybe several times, including fragments of memories I don't actually remember experiencing. Familiarity that doesn't belong, if that makes sense.

Anywho, the dream last night was no exception. Dreams are so fragmented and monotonously detailed after awakening, so I will try my best to keep from completely rambling.

I followed this woman in what seemed like a hybrid of subway station/mass interplanetary meeting hub/parking garage with no cars. I followed her because she had a really positive vibe and I knew "from experience" that she gave really great readings. I ended up being in what became a crowd following her to her place where she did her readings. My friend Claire called my phone or something so I left abruptly, told her I'd call her back, turned my phone off, and tried to return. On my way back through I ran into some people:

This guy I knew in high school (who could very well be alive) who I knew to be dead was doing things to creep out and scare living people who could not see him. Apparently, he did this all the time, and wasn't bothered by my light scolding. Everybody seemed pretty accepting of whatever stupid/annoying/obtrusive actions that were going on around them. An old woman came up to me and said "Hello" with a smile and I exclaimed, "HI!!!" I'd known her right away and had strong feelings of love. Then, bewildered, I asked why I knew her. Kinda like "Hey, I know you! Who the hell are you?" She explained she was some kind of mother figure from a recent lifetime where I had autism. Okay, whatever. Let me leave out a bunch of other vivid rememberings so I can get to the end...


When I made my way back to the Lady of Clear Vision, I didn't end up in the same place, but rather a big underground-shaman-like room with a lot of medieval vibes to it. This place had a much stronger vibe of familiarity, like had been there once before, more recently and gotten a reading from the man at the table. This time (apparently unlike the last) a large crowd of people filed in to wait for their turn with him. I sat down as about number 3 or four, and ended up waiting through 6 or 7 long readings, trying to keep myself busy.

[Totally and completely interesting side note: this guy had little beige urns with corks, that had what I'm guessing is remains of the fellow I just described from high school, and a printed picture of his face. They were just there for anyone who needed on to have, like lighters at a gas station. WEIRD!]

Okay, so when I get my turn, my boyfriend comes in sits down next to me at the table, I guess to share my reading with me. He gave me some pink flower petal to eat. It was supposed to mess me up in a good way or something, but it just made me feel drunk. I never got any kind of reading which isn't a surprise, since I was dreaming, but after I drank that stuff, I left and came back to the station/crowded hub, only it was totally empty. I could still feel a full presence though so I turned on my video phone and played back video that was on there of that exact location before, and everything I pointed the phone to as I walked showed that it was actually very full. My vision flashed a couple of times from empty to full, and then I walked through a door to an office room full of people. I walked out the door, some lady in a yellow night club dress was having a seizure on the ground in the parking lot.

I said, "Hey, somebody call 911!" Then I realized I was carrying my phone out and around and did it myself. I went in and told the office people and they were like "yeah, so? It happens" and stuff.

Then I woke up. Sorry, I rambled and I promised not to.

Interpret away!

Wow, you had a busy night didn't you bryson.....

Have you had any experiences of hearing, sensing, seeing spirit yourself??

Ok, a lot of people do visit the "other side" for want of a better word while in dream state. Or they simply go astral traveling. I'm not sure if this is where you were, but you seem to think you were, so we'll go with that.

I remember visiting somewhere similar to this once in dream state and saw my mother who had passed away. I met her at a subway type station..where there were people arriving all the time, going up and down escalators, in waiting area's till it was time to carry on with their journey. Your dream kind of had that type of feel to it.

You followed a women who you knew gave good readings...when we see women in dreams they can sometimes represent aspects of ourselves..an older women, mother figure, can represent the wise man/women in us...this women gave readings, have you ever been drawn to working in this way. Or is it that you want a reading..there are endless options to this....but she had a positive vib...so you are sensitive to vibration...??

Do you feel energy, or are you drawn to healing. Are you intuitive, empathic, sensitive to the energies of other people??

You feel that this is a place you have been to before, familiar, maybe you have. It may be that in dream state your energies are changing, and you are becoming more and more aware of the spiritual. Maybe even meeting old friends or family members from previous lives. Again the possibilities are endless. When we dream about family members or family, it can sometimes mean the need for familial support. Re connecting with family, putting down roots to feel that security and safeness. Has life has been very Topsy turvy for you and maybe you need to feel loved ones or people u have known close to you?? Or they are coming to you in your dreams to make the strange, seem less strange...if you get what I mean.

You have a very vivid imagination, and I think you quite like surreal and abstract. Do you watch many films..about dead people..your comment about the guy who was dead messing with people who were alive and enjoying the shock factor, made me think of a scene from the film Ghost where the ghost hassled people on the train, by kicking their things over and bashing newspapers out of their hands..

What is a shaman type room..what things were in the room that made you think it was Shaman? Your dream is interesting from the point of view too that you wanted to record what was happening, so you had proof. Are you someone who in life, likes to have things proved to you before you believe?

I don't know if u can call this an interpretation, more of an impression of your dream. It was definitely busy. But with a similar vein or theme running through it. I would say that you are being drawn to medium ship. You are probably experiencing a growth spurt in terms of development. Keep a dream diary, pay attention to any strange sensations you may feel in every day life. Things are going to get pretty interesting...

This is simply my interpretation Bryson, simply take what resonates with you and disregard the rest. I hope others will come forward and have a look at your dream for you, I for one will be very interested to see what we get...

Love and light

Thank you for your response, Karen.

*This post is so lengthy because you had so many accurate impressions that I want to validate.

It's funny you mentioned escalators; I rode down something similar to that, but extraordinary in that they were stone platforms just big enough to stand and balance upon, which floated down in semi-synchronization with the many others around, to your destination point, wherever it may be.

...this women gave readings, have you ever been drawn to working in this way. Or is it that you want a reading?... you are sensitive to vibration...??

Do you feel energy, or are you drawn to healing. Are you intuitive, empathic, sensitive to the energies of other people??

*I have been very drawn to working in this way, for about 4 or 5 years. The desire to work effectively in this way has been snowballing at ever-increasing rates in the last year or two especially.
*I have been wanting a reading lately, to help suss out any energy blockages I may subconsciously fighting against, and give some insight as to what kind of detail I may expect from circumstances that I can feel about to change around me dramatically.
*I am not totally sure what you mean specifically, but I get strong impressions upon meeting and speaking with new people [so quickly that it is - or has been - easy to dismiss them altogether]. I have had to learn to keep the vast majority of these impressions to myself, to avoid being seen by the people I love as snobbish or generally unsatisfied. I've recently begun to give these impressions my trust though, since they have shown themselves to endure the test of time. In that way I am sensitive to vibrations.

Has life has been very Topsy turvy for you and maybe you need to feel loved ones or people u have known close to you?? Or they are coming to you in your dreams to make the strange, seem less strange.

The night before last, I had dreams that included my immediate family, and a situation or two that was touching and re-bonding. No one in my family lives on this side of the continent. I am in North Carolina and my sister lives in L.A., my father in San Diego. Everyone else in Kansas. I have most definitely been missing them as a solid foundation, especially recently. It's tearing since while I do not want to be away from them, to go back to where I was would feel like taking a step backward, away from my destiny. But I don't know if that's just my fear of being landlocked!

I don't watch too many films anymore, but I did see Ghost. This was more of a Beetlejuice type of aggravation, like replacing women's noses with a weirdly tiny nose, making them think they're insane for it, etc.

I opened MS Paint and concocted a somewhat half-assed rendition of what the room was like. The pink figures in the seats on the floor (and even up along the wall) represent those waiting for a reading, and the blue figure represents the man who was giving them:

you wanted to record what was happening, so you had proof. Are you someone who in life, likes to have things proved to you before you believe?

I feel like I can accept a truth mostly if it resonates with me as truth, but I am indeed very skeptically-minded. Proof of the pudding is definitely in the eating. If I can experience it, I'm a believer. Short of that, I can only be pretty sure... but then again I suppose everyone is like that to an extent.

Thank you for such great feedback Bryson...I loved your picture....

To me this picture has a kind of past life feel to it. Not sure how you feel about that, is this a time period that you have ever had an affinity with. Do you like African tribal art work?? Some tribal medicine men or shaman's like to use plants and herbs to help them in healing and to become more open to spirit. Have you ever been drawn to or interested in the use of herbs in healing? Have you looked at Chinese herbal medicine or homeopathy? Again, to me this is to do with healing and mediumship. Maybe you have an affinity in this way.

I would say to you this is a time to be open to everything...you are being given a lot of information in your dreams. Sifting through it all will come with time. The things that are really important for you to take note of will continually be repeated in one form or another.

On a personal note, maybe you need to touch base with your family for a while. You never know there more be more then one reason for visiting them. Sometimes, we take our family for granted. They are not always going to be around, so if you feel drawn to get in touch, do it...you will be glad that you did..remember, no man is an island.. .

Love and light

Hey Kaz, Bryson...

I was really intrigued with this post. I had a dream over the weekend, that made me wonder if it could have been a visit to the other side. Then I happened to stumble across this post this morning, and was really chuffed.

I will post the dream, and would love to know what you guyz think.

Love
