Examples on how I use dreams

Yesterday, and in other posts, I've discussed a bit about how I use dreams in my waking life as tools to further understand the Narrative. Today I thought I'd give you an example of what I meant. When I was a kid, perhaps 13-15 years old, I dreamt that I was part of a special force roaming through a deserted, war-torn city. There was a fog in the air and it was ablaze with the rays of sunset. We had to get to a particular building that would give us a vantage point from which to survey the landscape to find the thing that we were actually looking for. We reached the building and started climbing to the roof through derelict stairs. The broken walls and windows gave us a vision of the outside and we could sense more than see a colossal structure behind a singularly massive cloud. When we got to the roof, this cloud parted in some places, unveiling a cathedral so big that its pinnacles vanished into the heights, its pitch-black windows concealing monstrous pale hands and flesh that sometimes gets pressed against the crystals.

In 2019, I came back to this dream but during a meditation instead of sleep. I continued the dream and realized that in it I was a woman, and that the team and I had to enter that cathedral, but as we approached, the enormity of it made it clear that we'd be unable to enter. However, during this visualization, I noticed that the cathedral looked that way because we were approaching it from the perspective of children. As soon as I modified that, its size dropped considerably and we managed to enter, but I couldn't see what was inside at the moment. However, within a few weeks I had another dream in which I was in the cathedral, right in front of the main Altar. Everything was old, broken and overtaken by vegetation, but there were three marble sculptures that almost shone with their own light: each of them was a rectangular box carved in such a way that I could see that each contained a child. Both dreams and the vision acquired a lot more sense this year during an important ritual that I did back in July, which I used to set those children free.

Another example: when I was about 19 years old, I dreamt that I was with a group of friends driving through a highway. On one side we had a field full of electrical towers whose wires crossed over the highway into the other side, which was concealed by a wall. The road was circular and we knew we had to enter that place behind the wall. When dusk turned to night, we reached the entrance of a huge necropolis steeped in darkness. Our only defense were flashlights that chased away the shadows and our destination was a house at the very center of the necropolis, where all electrical wires converged and a single light shone. As we made our way through the tombs, we could see nocturnal entities move at the edges of our flashlights. Many years later, I entered this place again during a ceremony, but instead of a graveyard in darkness, it was a mist-bound jungle full of threatening entities that somehow couldn't touch me, and then more recently in another ceremony, I crossed the jungle again and realized the mist was covering the ruins of an ancient city. All of these images describe the same place at different stages of revelation, and they're all related to Venezuela and Humanity, a pretty long and expansive process as you can see.

This is how I use dreams and visions to navigate and build my reality. I look for signs, landmarks, concepts, words and cyphers that repeat. I don't even have to make an effort to see them now, but it took some training. You can do the exact same thing on your own, as long as you can keep records and fresh memories of what you've dreamt and then connect them with your waking experiences. It may take some time for you to see the coherences but they're there even now. If you're willing to work on this, I bless you and wish you great success!

Many people expect from me a compromise that I do not feel. I am invited to take medicine but choose not to.
