MyBleam.com Dream Blog

I think this site has come along way in only a week… I’ve been spending quite a bit of time on it, so it makes sense that it would appear in dream material, especially because I worked on it late last night. ….but not *that* late. I got more sleep than the previous night, so I’m not surprised I have more dream material documented.

In the first dream, my blog was downloaded (or uploaded?) directly into my brain. I believe I *felt* the sensation! I had been working on SEO optimization issues, with disappointing results. Perhaps this is related to the fact that I try to make MyBleam.com an accurate and interesting reflection of some of my mental processes, but so many other sites out there in cyberspace seem less than savory to me.

…that could also relate to the content of the second dream. Another blogger with an excrement-throwing hamster as a pet posted to my site. I’m sure that part of the symbology here relates to spam and flaming. The blogger proposed replacing a ‘forum’ with something else. Currently, there’s no forum here, but I do post on some others (some are listed on the links page, here). Most seem quite good, but others are so filled with obscene spam as to be unusable.

Also: Sometimes I awake with music in my head as if I were listening to the radio. That happened this morning, and it was “I’ve seen all good people”, from the 70’s progressive rock band, Yes (The Yes Album). I always find it strange with that happens; K told me that it happens to her all the time.  I may add a music page to this site later on…

I was able to document two dreams last night in detail…

Telepathy

In the first dream, I seemed have telepathic abilities. I could read minds by observing patterns in others’ aura. But only if they would let me, so there seemed to be moral (karmic?) implications of looking into the patterns of another’s life. This is actually an ability that I’m just starting to develop (slowly). In the electronic resources page, I’ve posted a link to one meditation exercise that I’m using. For those that may be interested, you can also get to it by clicking here.

I especially noticed if a person’s crown chakra was not functioning; they seemed to be incomplete. Not everyone in the dream had this ability; it seemed that one of my functions was to aid in others’ development, if they were willing. At one point, I was in a room with my family (watching TV, how stimulating!), and I remember talking to my Uncle about energy balances, but he was uncomfortable whenever I brought it up. Obviously, these issues individuals must come to understand for themselves within the context of their own way of thinking, feeling and being…

Natural Disaster!

In the second dream, the time period seems to be several years ago; I was eating out with my parents and sister in California. They were fighting about the fact that she will have to start high school soon (J has now graduated college), and we drove off. I mentioned that I-5 (the main North-South corridor between Los Angeles and San Francisco) was closed to all but military traffic. We also saw a lot of military vehicles on the roads we were on (which were quite strange and unfamiliar). As we drove, we also passed these huge transport trucks carrying live pigs and cows in great mounds. I pointed out that that’s going to be a lot of hamburger for someone! I seemed to have the impression that we were observing some sort of humanitarian mission by the government to aid a large population that had been displaced. …also that this strategy was clearly another example of the folly of governmental bureaucracy. Possibly this was due to a disaster like a major S. California earthquake? That specific event I didn’t dream of; only the aftermath. I may have just been observing the effects of overpopulation, but I have a feeling that something major had occurred in the days previous to the dream time-frame. Also, along the road there were vendors of all kinds trying to sell random gadgets and trinkets to us, and anyone else who came along.

I should note that this may be relevant to the fact that both K and I are vegetarian. For those interested in a clarification of the meaning of the term, this is a decent site to visit for fast answers. …but not fast food; I should remark that I believe the fast food industry to be deplorable, both in terms of health and morality. It is a virus in our society, and a cancer of our planet. McDonald’s is frequently the focus of controversy (e.g., the movie, “Super Size Me”, and also especially the “McLibel Trial”, and surrounding events), but this is really a societal problem, and we are all to blame in one way or another. I shall post on this issue in greater detail elsewhere…

This is the historic first entry of my blog. Since the main content will focus on my dreams, hypnogogic visions, and other interesting psychic states I come across, this blog will be a rather unique animal. No pointless, meandering drivel about the minutiae of everyday life here! At least I hope not…

In any case, I succumbed to my neologistic tendencies and named this creature a BLEAM (etymology: blog + dream). Hence, MyBleam. Interestingly, it seems that “bleam” is also an obscure technical (perhaps archaic) word meaning, “To transmit or send data”, which is rather fitting, since data from my subconscious is being transmitted to any in cyberspace who care to take notice…

I will also post my various thoughts on my meditation exercises, various yoga work, philosophy and other enlightenment-related reading and writing projects.

Excitement!
