I was in a large stone fortress, down in the common areas at first. Heavy stone walls, wooden furniture, people in long garb sitting around visiting, drinking, playing chess...
It was the same room as a dream I had a while back. This dream apparently started up where the last one left off. In the last one I watched a man taking his initiation tests. I wasn't supposed to be there but I had crawled into one of the circular stone ducts in the wall that brought fresh air into the lower levels. In the test room these ducts were hidden mostly by statues set back into the walls. I hid behind a metal screen to watch and could only see part of his motions because my angle of vision was restricted.
Anyway so that's where this dream started.
I had watched the high priest as he "ran the gauntlet" in this room. I knew this was a year later than that. I was 17ish in the dream, slender and just full of energy and life. I still had long red hair too. I was now friends with the King and perhaps more than a friend but if so, not for a while. I was determined to try to do the course so I could further my knowledge by being tested and annointed. To do it there were ceremonies and priests necessary though. The King wouldn't get anyone for it. He acted like I didn't need anyone else. I wasn't sure if he expected me to succeed or to die trying.
I persisted in asking and I complained until one evening he led me by the left elbow into the stone chamber and said "shall we dance with the snakes?" and then moved something so that a podium rose up and out of the wall. It was stone with a broad flat surface on a single rectangular stone support. The stone was ancient and worn smooth and bright white.
On it were two young black raptors (birds like hawks but bigger) that appeared to be dead, overlapping their outspread wings across one another but somehow they were in boxes. Like crystal boxes sort of like Snow White slept in only smaller. There was a beautiful soft white dove with her feet tucked beneath her neatly, a hawk, a large tarantula like spider that was furry and 8' inches or so across, a white female cobra with crystal blue eyes and several smaller writhing snakes near her moving about the table top.
The King left the room and I knew that the test had begun. I was being given what I asked for. I instinctively knew I had little time. I raised my right arm and held it over the cobra's hood. I moved my arm in a counter-clockwise rotation. I was afraid she would strike me but I kept making the motion I felt was needed and she subsided with something like a nod and a certain look in her eyes of knowing and admiration. I had passed this first trial.
I had a short pause before I acted again. I reached towards the birds. The dove looked at me with her gentle eyes and soft body inviting me to stroke her and the hawk looked at me as well and i sensed him calling to me with thoughts of strength and glory, war and victory. But I chose the righthand little black raptor laying fully spread in the center of the crystal box.
I gripped his body with my right hand and his "ankles" with my left. I sensed his weak state and ill health. He seemed to need healing. But I was running out of time for the test. I felt bad that he would die I thought, but I didn't hesitate. I pulled the feet towards me and up. Instead of harming him, I realized I had something else. It was about 1 foot long by six inches in diameter. A crystaline long pyramid with a hawk inside. It's dead claws were sticking out of the end of this pyramid shape and wrapped around a scroll. There was a yellow gem the size of both my thumb nails (or a small egg) too. I carried the "box" to the table on the right of the snake alter.
I called for the falconer but received only a mental image of him birthing twins for the queen. He would not be coming. I used a knife to break the pyramid crystal box in half lengthwise and quickly grabbed the paper inside. The gem glowed enticingly but I ignored it. On the paper were runic symbols of some sort. I used them to open another of the rooms secret places. (like the podium was)
By standing in the correct place another podium arose in the center of the room. It had a variety of colored and lit buttons on it. Very high tech looking. The cobra watched me knowingly and I felt her intense gaze following my every move.
I had to pass another test now. A screen appeared and on it were displayed three women. the one in the middle was the boss, I felt. She was opalescent with platinum hair and pale blue (almost white) eyes. It was "live". I knew she and the others could see me now. They had been somehow notified by my actions (or the cobra) that I would be possibly activating their part of the test and they were prepared for me.
The boss smiled at me then she asked me riddles. I don't remember the specifics of them. She spoke like mid-17th century english and asked me a riddle about the sun. When I knew what the clue was I raised my right hand and motioned clockwise over the right hand glowing red button on the podium.
It was like a mini laser light sensing me. I felt it on my hand - then she continued. Next was a riddle about the moon and I moved my hand over the bottom light button. It registered my motion again with the laser.
I listened to the next clue and I worried about this one. I knew I had to jump for it, but I wasn't sure I would reach high enough. I began to doubt. I wanted help so again I cried out psychically to someone named Michael (though I recognized the energy of him as my ex boyfriend Tony from this life). But no one was allowed to enter the room with me.
Lots of people had died in here. Many would not try this test.
I gathered myself and leaped. I found I was very light and I reached upwards in a circular, counter clockwise motion to set off the high laser. She smiled and the snake watched. Then she said something about "tis time to bow to our lady and give the queen her due." That was the 4th clue and I couldn't recall the location it meant.
I looked at the light on the left but I knew it was wrong. I started to panic. I knew I could die if I got it wrong but I couldn't remember in my fear. I tried to see what the high priest had done before when I watched but I hadn't been able to see it all from where I lay hidden. I knew that I knew the answer but I couldn't recall where the final trigger was. The poem (riddle) made no sense and I called out again for Michael (Tony) to help me remember. He was playing chess outside the room and he didn't know the answer and "showed" me that he couldn't help and wouldn't come to my aid in this. I must do it alone.
At the last second he fit the word "cromagnon" into his conversation at chess and it triggered the memory for me. But it was too late, or they knew I hadn't come up with it alone. The walls started to close in front of me. Three giant blocks of stone moving together and I knew I would be crushed.
Somehow I stopped panicking and remembered who I was. As soon as I did this, I pushed on the stone on the left hand side and stepped out thru a crack just seconds before I would have died.
I stood in the room left to me, wondering if I could try again. I remembered now that there were statuaries in the niches. I had hidden in the cromagnon one last year. During the final test of the priest, the high priest had run to where I was hidden. I had thought to die but instead he reached the neanderthal statue and pushed a "button" behind the statues left ear.
There was a tall, graceful 14th century queen represented across from the cromagnon in one of the other niches. When the button was depressed a bag full of riches was offered by the cromagnon. it was he who "bowed to the queen". I had just decided I could do it again and get it right this time, when I looked into the three women's faces. She smiled at me and the snake seemed to bow ever so slightly then I woke up.
End of dream.
I know its long but I wanted to share it because it was so intricate to me and because it felt like it represented so many things. I would love your interpretations so I might hear something I haven't thought of.
Thank you!
