Dream Experiment Key Revealed

Did  you have a dream with us? Do share it if you did. Here is the key revealed!

Hello Dream Fun Experiment 13 Participants. The Key was a pair of EYEGLASSES:

There were very special reasons I chose this item to be the key. These glasses are quite old, 22 years to be exact, and belonged to my late brother Randy. There is a bit of a story and more photos to explain my choice and also other connections that I believe were made during the experiment by several of the participants. If you are interested in reading more about the key, the fuller explanation follows!

 

Dream Fun Experiment 13 Key Reveal Details:

 The very moment I read the words in the email where Bill asked me to be keyholder, the image of these glasses flashed before my eyes. I thought they would be a good choice because they not only represent, but I believe, actually physically contain many thoughts, emotions and memories, powerful feelings that I thought would make a strong dreamtime beacon. These eyeglasses are the most personal item I have left from my brother Randy. He was killed suddenly in 1989 at the age of 26. He was basically run over by a teenager who was drag racing on a busy city street. He was NOT wearing these glasses at the time of his death. As horrifying as the death of my only sibling and my parent's only son was at the time, I do understand now it was absolutely a choice made by my brother (and in part, by his family as well). I have spoken to him in my dreams and I know our love and connection is eternal and I am at peace with his passing, but I still do miss him terribly. Here is the eyeglass case where I kept his glasses...it is filled with some crystals, 3 reiki symbol stones and tumbled colored quartz crystals, representing the chakras.

There were many mentions of colored glass and also reiki and chakras by participants, and also many of glass and windows.... The white towel was also specifically seen by participants I think! It had these words printed on it "Delta Gamma Rose Formal 1988" And Bill mentioned a fraternity specifically. It was a momento of Randy's from his fraternity days. Here is a photo of Randy at about age 13, and a bit later when he was in his 20's. My dad has taken us deep sea fishing to Port Aransas Texas every summer since 1976. We have continued the tradition even after my brother died, but we miss him especially during this summer event. Here in the first photo he is holding a sand shark, but we primarily fish for and catch Mackerel, King Mackerel and the smaller Spanish Mackerel, which I am holding in the third photo, a current photo from 2008.

When focusing on the key leading up to and for the night of the experiment, I visualized me and Randy at the beach at Port Aransas after a wonderful day of fishing for mackerel and watching the dolphins play in the ocean. I wondered if people might see the key, the eyeglasses or see THROUGH my brother's eyes...see scenes from his life or from fishing at the ocean. All of the fish and dolphin references, and starfish too, lead me to think that this did happen!! I include the photos of him to see if any of you recognize him from your dreams. I would love to hear about it if you did. Two more photos: These for Geoff especially, where in his dream he wrote. "ornate victorian pipes,valves, and machinery seem to grow from out of the walls." This really describes the outer visual workings of the oil tankers and platform barges that pass us by as we fish. The first photo is a recent one of mine from last year; a tanker heading out of the jetties to the gulf. The second is an older one, me in younger days (ha) out fishing with a tanker in the background.

Thanks all for the opportunity to play! I know I made this probably the most personal and emotional DFE so far, but in my view, emotions are pivotal in dreams and I had hoped they would make this experience powerful for us all! I enjoyed this experiment so much. I hope you enjoyed it as well. Kindest Regards, Candace

Dream Experiment Record Number 2

Here is my second dream for Dream Experiment Day!

I am standing at very tall, very wide, huge glass windows. These windows are so large you might find a similar type in the lobby of some skyscraper in a big city. I am not aware of the building I am in, if I am in one, just these windows.  It actually does not seem like there is a room that I am in, just the wall of glass windows. The windows are very near the ocean.

At first as I approach the windows I only see bright white fog.  The light is so bright it almost hurts my eyes. Then the glass becomes a “screen” of sorts and suddenly there are geometric shapes and colors projected on the glass, but in pale/pastel colors so that I can still see the ocean beyond the glass and images. I watch the shapes and colors change and move with the backdrop of the moving waves of water behind them.

There is something significant about the sequence of the images and the shapes. I understand it is the language of sacred geometry, but I acknowledge that I am only a novice in that form of communication and although I admire the colors and shapes I do not know what information they represent…YET. I know that I will soon learn this language and am unconcerned about missing the message.

The glass is very hot to the touch and I can feel the heat emanating from the window.

Now people arrive, lots and lots of people but they are all on the other side of the glass. They are gathering for a class. My daughter Lauren is there. She is very happy to be in this class. She goes inside a nearby building and sits in a large classroom. She sits in the very bottom right corner seat. This position is significant. She tells me “Eddie Hernandez” is going to be there. This fact makes her happy. Eddie is tall with curly dark hair and smiles a lot. He stands upon his seat and begins to pull down the rolling window shades on the nearby windows.

As she sits there I am suddenly in this building with her  and I notice I am being shown a “map” of the seats. I look around and the building seems to be a combination school and warehouse.  Someone is explaining to me that there are different seats available according to the needs of the student.  Each seat is created to conform to the needs of each student. Some have cushions, some do not. Some are wooden seats, there are many combinations available. The man speaking is a tall black man from the UK.  I take note of and admire his accent. He has a seashell in his pocket and shows it to me and smiles. It is his way of telling me he “made it to the beach” even though we are discussing other things.

I tell him “I like coming up with all of these business ideas, but I have absolutely no interest in running a business. “  He smiles with understanding. I continue by saying, “I want to spend my days doing exactly what I do now.”

I then look inside a box of “used” envelopes next to me and state that even these seemingly insignificant pieces of paper will be valuable someday.

The tall man who seems like an athlete then makes a “mousetrap” sort of setup with ropes, pulleys, fabric and boxes and furniture on a stage in front of the chairs of the classroom. He pulls on the rope and the parts and pieces move and fall and domino down in a funny way. I laugh. I know its an “inside” joke about the class’s  subject.

It’s time for me to go. I get in my pickup truck and try to drive away through the crowded parking lot but someone “official” gets slightly annoyed that I am leaving “the scene”. He says my tires will obscure the tracks they are studying. I tell him if he looks closely he can easily separate the tracks he is interested in from my own and I ignore his request not to drive away. I know he wants to make me feel like he has control over me but I know he does not and I peek at him in my rear view mirror as I leave the scene.

Dream Experiment Record Number 1

I thought it might be fun to post my dreams here for you all to read. The other participants are already beginning to post their impressions and dreams to the Intention Experiment.  I must say even with only a handful of reports in at this time I am impressed!

I will post one dream today and the second dream tomorrow. Remember I was the "keyholder" and held an object others were to try to discern in the dream state. Refer to my post Dream Experiment Day! for details on the instructions.

Dream Number One:

My dream began in outer space. I was being shown the two entry points that Archangel Michael and Archangel Raphael use to enter the earth’s 3 dimensional frequency. Archangel Michael’s entry point was in Northern Europe and Archangel Raphael’s entry point was in Asia.  My understanding was that these points although presented as physical places above the earth, were actually something like numeric channel entry points like a station on a radio dial and did not necessarily correspond to the countries below them, nor did that limit the Archangels in any way with connecting with souls or communication on the planet.  

It seemed like I was being shown that the earth as an energy sphere had infinite points upon or above that sphere that corresponded to frequencies to the energies below on earth.

As soon as I acknowledged receipt of that information I was free to be on my way.

I flew down to the planet and landed on a beach. I walked a narrow, perhaps 2 foot wide red wood boardwalk toward the water. This wood was identical to the little pallet I saw Katherine sitting upon in Dream Fun Experiment Number 11, but much longer.

As I got toward the water I saw people gathering and sort of lining up on the left side of the boardwalk near the water. I made my way toward them. I brought my white towel and when I got close to the water I decided the thing to do was to lay the towel across the boardwalk to make a bridge so that they could “cross over” the boardwalk from one side to the other. Nearly everyone was dressed in white or light linen colored clothing. Everyone was very quiet and waiting patiently.

I laid the towel over the boardwalk from the left towards the sand on the right side. I sat on the right hand side on the edge of the towel.

Just as I was thinking about how to place the key object upon the towel and not have it trampled upon,  I suddenly became aware of a young girl, perhaps 10 years old,  laying at the bottom of a large sand dune on my right side. She was sleeping very soundly, so soundly I worried that she might not be well. She was stretched out very straight and still. She had coffee colored skin and was wearing only white terry cloth shorts. As I considered her I saw a man slide gently down from the top of the sand dune in a sitting position. I watched him glide down as smooth as glass and looked at his face. He was turned sideways and I only saw his profile. He too was wearing clothes like the others, white cotton, cool and simple shorts and shirt. He had longish brown curly hair and a beard and had his eyes closed. I observed him closely as he drifted down closer to me and noticed that at each point of his closed eyelashes there were tiny blue crystal bindis applied to his face. I understood that this indicated he was deep in trance or meditation. He sat very near the feet of the girl at the bottom of the dune and I realized he was coming to her aid in some way.

I then noticed as I was studying these two to my right that the key object was still in my pocket and I had not yet laid it on the towel. I carefully set the key in front of me and waited.

More on Group Dreaming

Of all the aspects of dream study, mutual or shared dreaming is probably the least understood. The very fact that people can meet in the dream state and recall it upon waking challenges our ideas of time, space and the nature of dreams.

 In this stunning new book, World Dreams Peace Bridge founder, Jean Campbell, traces the history of group dreaming research beginning in the 1970s and demonstrates how this research led her to believe that dreamers, working together can change the world.

 A pioneer in Consciousness Studies, Jean Campbell is CEO of The iMAGE Project, founder of The World Dreams Peace Bridge, and 2006-2007 President of The International Association for the Study of Dreams. She lives in the Tidewater area of Virginia and is a member of the Tidewater Peace Alliance. This is her third book.

I have not yet read this book but its on my wish list.

Dream Experiment Day!

(I have been remiss in updating this blog, forgive me my loyal readers. Life has been exceptionally full and demanding lately. I have many adventures to share with you, all of them queuing up in my head waiting for time to record them properly.)

Today is the big day for the dream fun experiment group on the Intention Experiment. I know some of you are already members and already participating but for those of you who are not I thought it might be fun for you to read my instructions and invite you to our "party". Maybe you'd like to play along and see what dreams may come your way. Feel free to come back and let me know of any relevant dreams you might have. If you are really interested, you can sign up on the Intention Experiment and play along with future experiments.

Here are my instructions!

Welcome to Dream Fun Experiment Number 13.

My name is Candace Craw-Goldman and I am pleased and honored to be your Keyholder for lucky experiment number 13. Please visit my page and say hello and also take note of my appearance as it will help you to locate me and the key!

As always, record any gut feelings, intuitions or dreams leading up to and just after our experiment, and maybe even after reading these instructions. Keep pen and paper handy to record your impressions, no matter how fleeting.

As you prepare for sleep during this 24-hour experiment period, I would like you to first ready yourself by using your own personal meditation or affirmation or ritual that you use to remember your dreams. When you have finished your personal readiness, I would like for you to join with the group energetically and have each of you pour yourself a glass of clear cool water just before bedtime.

This water will help you find me and the key!

We will again gather at the beach. This beach will be our own creation in the dreamscape. I will be sitting on a white towel near the water's edge and I will have placed the key right in front of my feet on the towel.

As you pour the water into the glass I want you to imagine that the water itself contains information and directions that will easily take you to the place by the ocean where I am sitting with the key. As you drink from your glass, with each sip, you will be putting this information directly inside of you and you will know exactly where to go and how to find the beach, and you will see me and the white towel and the key.

As you drift off to sleep you know you have already received all of the information you need to know, as it was contained in the water and transferred to you as you drank from your glass.

You can leave a small amount of water in the glass by your bedside and the remaining water will also help guide you to your destination: the ocean and the beach, me and the key.

As of right now I have the object sitting on the white towel next to my bed and I will be thinking about it and our experiment and I will be intending to meet each of you at the water's edge.

Sweet ocean dreams to you all. See you at the beach!

Candace

Dream Connections

I pay attention to my dreams. When I dream of friends or people I correspond with I usually tell them about the dream.

I sent an email to my friend Lorna the other day describing a dream I had about her. An interesting detail to note is that Lorna lives in the UK and I have never met her physically.

Dear Lorna, I had a dream about you.

It was a long involved dream with cars and buildings and travel, and many obstacles and roadblocks but all were overcome. I finally FINALLY made it into a classroom that I had been trying to get to for so very long, and I was not late at all as class was just getting ready to start. The anticipation of the group and the energy in the room was so very strong and positive. People could not wait to get started.



There were people sitting in desks already and yet, some were still arriving and finding their places as I arrived as well. I saw that the old fashioned wooden chair desks had our names written on placards so I looked for my name and found my desk to sit down. I was  in the middle back of the room on the right side. Apparently our position in the classroom was critical to completion of our work, hence the assigned seats. Somehow I knew just exactly where my place was. I sat down and looked around.

The desk on my immediate left was still vacant. I looked at the name on the card and it read LORNA.

I was so thrilled to see your name and to know that you were coming and you and I were put next to each other for a very special reason, because not only was the group assembled for creation of a grand and amazing project, seeing your name next to mine meant you and I were to work very closely together, not only with the group but very closely with each other.

Interestingly enough the night I dreamed this dream was the day my friend Lorna, a Dolores Cannon Regressionist, had a regression herself. She replied to my email very excitedly to tell me that in her session she learned that she was a member of a group who were involved with a very big project...helping with the formation of the earth, and the group still works together and has a job presently and that is "to create the 'opportunities to advance life'".

Now I ask you, how cool is that?

In My Dreams

I pay close attention to my dreams and if I do not remember them, I feel very out of sorts the following day. Happily, I rarely wake up without remembering at least part, if not most of my night time experiences.

Last night I had a dream that I was walking down a dirt path toward a stone house. It looked a lot like our little stone cabin. A few feet before I got to the cabin I saw something on the path. It was a large, very ornate silver key. I picked it up and studied its metal scroll pattern and felt how heavy it was. As I held it in my hand the key slowly morphed into a beautiful silver embossed folded notecard that had the word "Invitation" in elegant cursive lettering stamped on it. I put it in my pocket, knowing that the invitation was for "later" and I could turn my attention to other matters.

The dream was very vivid and I knew it was significant, but I did not know right away what the key and invitation meant. Until this afternoon.

I got an email from my friend Bill Schuh at the Intention Experiment. He invited me to be the key holder for the next Dream Fun Experiment, to be held sometime in the future. Of course I was honored to accept!

I've had a big grin on my face all day long. Life is very interesting!

Group Dreaming

I've just last night finished my fourth experiment in group dreaming, the third with Bill Schuh's group over at Lynne McTaggart's ning site The Intention Experiment.

The experiment works like this: A group of people decide to meet in "dreamland" on a certain night. One person is designated as the "keyholder". They choose an object and describe to the others where the object can be found. Last night for example we were told to go to a certain town in Arizona, to the keyholder's home and look for the object on her dining room table.

I made it to the house and saw the keyholder and LOTS of people and spent a long time looking for that table! Success in my book.

I won't know whether or not I "keyed in" to the object for a while yet, as it takes a long while for the experiment leader to gather and compile the data, but comparing notes with one fellow participant today has already been fascinating.

In a part of my dream I was with a friend, (a black man) who was reading some numbers to me. The numbers were small amounts of numerals (two or three) each with a decimal point. This other dream experiment participant dreamed about me, who was with a black man, and in her dream we won gift certificates for small odd amounts of money like $0.69 and $0.96.I also told my friend I wanted to take a group of people in their vehicles to a large stone in a field, and my friend dreamed that we, my black friend and I were driving a truck up a steep rocky/mountain stone slope.

The intention to participate and actually interacting in the dreamtime world with others is the larger goal here, so I already feel successful, but discerning the key would definitely be a bonus. Stay tuned for the outcome!

There are lots of discussions and much other information for the metaphysically curious over at the Intention Experiment. I highly recommend a visit.

Dreaming of Death

I had the following dream last night:

I was very tired. I was fighting my body, my health, (something I do in my every day life.)

I decided enough was enough and I was going to do something radical. I felt like I was being pushed into considering desperate measures to save myself, because time was running out.  All conventional roads had been taken, explored, and were failures. There was something I could do to save myself but it was a very ugly last resort.  I knew it was despicable, but I had no choice, unless I was prepared to succumb to death and I was not ready for that at all.

I went to see my identical twin. (Now in real life I have no such thing, I don't even have a sister.) I was envious of her health and vitality. She was always strong and glowing, had never dealt with chronic pain or the myriad of other health complications that I have had to deal with for most of my 46 years. From afar I have been jealous of her almost my whole life. I felt slighted and cheated. Why did she deserve health and I did not?

I decided to trick her. To kidnap her. I was going to take from her the thing I wanted more than anything.

It was twilight and I took her to the ocean. I put her on a small boat and we sailed out until we could see no land. We spoke no words. I was in control. She was wary but unafraid. She did not know my plans. When we were all alone, and had no view of anything save ourselves and the circle of the sea that surrounded us, I made my move.

I took her body by the shoulders. I shook her, and wrestled her surprised soul from her physical self. I set it free to the dark sky above and then leaped quickly into her body while my own crumpled to the floor of the boat. My timing was perfect. I kicked the sick and worn out body that I used to occupy into the water and watched it slowly sink. I stood with the breeze of the ocean blowing through my hair, looking to the moon and clouds and thought to myself that my new life had just begun. I felt strong and healthy and full of energy in a fresh, lean, unbroken body.

Almost Immediately, my elation turned into incredible guilt, and then, paralyzing terror. In my rush to complete the act of stealing my twin's body I forgot the tide and the direction of the sea currents! My old body would surely float to shore. My secret would be discovered. I would be found out. I would be labeled a murderer and have to spend the rest of my long and healthy days in prison. Oh what have I done?

I sailed the boat back to the wooden dock with my stomach in knots, and a shaking with a cold sweat of fear covering my body. The only thing to do now was wait for the inevitable.

This dream has followed me closely today. I am trying to acknowledge the good symbolism in it, a desire to be healthy and leave some old bad habits behind and become healthy. The murdering of my non-existent identical twin is still pretty much creeping me out, though. I don't think I have killed anyone before in my dreams!

Have you?
