I have been waiting all week for this episode, ever since “Owl Man looked across the room and saw that Heron Man was typing away. Important that we get this right and he could tell by Heron Man’s nod, that he felt it too.” (Ep 17-18)
Important that we get this right—a potent enigmatic assertion to be sure! Get “what” right for “what’s" sake? And so I waited and today I found a shout of joy arise as I came to the end of this latest Episode 19-20—you know, the joy of discovering other souls on a resonant path who are speaking it: “we must be prepared for the dreams to become real in ways neither of us have yet imagined.” (99) Yes! How often do you hear of such a claim? Yet it is so! In the spirit of Owl Man’s final statement, “I would be most interested in hearing more dreams and see if this visitor has been at work in the dreams of others…” (98) I offer this "awake dream" (language is difficult here) in the spirit of “something has gained entry into the narrative cloud as well as the psyche of our characters.” (97):
I am in bed aware that I am sleeping, yet awake. I feel something entering that feels dangerous. I feel the presence of an animal merging with me, co-extensive with my human form. I move into a crouch position on the bed. I feel rippling power arcing through my chest and my mouth elongates and my teeth are sharp and bared. A growl utters easily from my chest. Power and grace in the animal body yet I am still human, too. I am conscious of my human experience while at the same time I have entered an animal consciousness as he entered mine. The power I feel is exhilarating. I have never felt such freedom. He takes over my speech centres. He/I growls a long basso note with consummate ease. In fact he enters my entire body. All my senses are now available to him. (From my Autobiography The Imperative , p38)
I have waited a long time to get confirmation of the objectivity of such experiences from others who have “been there.”
