Lucid Dream?: Alien Advice on Iraq
Well, I’ve been experimenting with the Mirror in the Cave technique over the last few nights with mixed success. Many times I would fall asleep about the time I would start descending the stairs or even earlier, as my mind would wander while in the woods. The best way I’ve found to combat this is to think of the dreamscape as reality, and distracting thoughts as impending sleep. So, I can then tell myself to *wake-up*, as this now implies an increased focus on the dream I intend…
Last night I had one of the more interesting experiences. I made it to the mirror, and soon after this, I seemed to be confronted with some sort of alien presence in the form of a bright white light. It(?) seemed to communicate to me that President Bush needs to focus on increasing family values in Iraq (thereby decreasing the emphasis on religiousity), perhaps be distributing “comfort kits”, that would contain books, clothes, and other such amenities of living. In this way, Iraqi family units would pull together and insurgent groups would have less influence in recruiting “martyrs”.

This was a strange experience, and I think it needs to be classified as a dream, and perhaps a lucid because this particular idea regarding the situation in Iraq had never occurred to me before, and I was *aware* of that fact while I was thinking (receiving?) it. Whether or not the ‘alien’ was a personification of my subconscious, or something else, I’ll probably never know…

Sure Nick, and thank you for the kind words. You have a great site–I’ll have to delve in more–so, I’d also like to reciprocate with a link on my blogroll, if that’s ok.
Namaste’…

Wow, interesting dream. I havnt had any alien being dreams yet, but I bet it would be pretty interesting!
I was in Iraq for two years. We gave out “comfort packs” a lot (especially the second time around). It wasnt ordered by our unit or anything like that though. It was just something the soldiers would put together for certain neighborhoods.
This is my first time at your blog, and plan to come back! Thanks for this great post!
