The Galactic Perspective (from Nick Cumbo) Solar Moon Day 5 - Yellow Cosmic Seed Year - 11 March, 2006

Intention: Following on from my previous dreams during this 2012 project, I set the intention to visit the "Solar Dreaming Age" of 2012 and beyond. I focused my intention with a very simple visualisation, holding an image of the Sun divided into four quadrants (like a target or focus beam) - wishing that it would call me on through.

I'm at my family home. I think I'm "awake", and am trying to set myself in a mindstate that's ripe for a lucid dream. Rather than wrapping a pillowcase around my eyes (to block out extra light), I am looking up at the night sky. It's actually a dawn sky. Quite surreal - the beginnings of a pink/orange colour are forming, twirled in amongst a blue / black night sky.

As I lie there, I realise that herein lies a key to lucid dreaming - one must really feel/zone into the unique sensation of the "night" - that surreal twilight space. As I become more conscious in expanding this awareness, I begin to verge into awakening within the dream. I hear the voice of my dad calling out from the house, and then all of a sudden the wind begins to blow again. I feel it's force from afar.

For a moment, I am still aware of my dad yelling out from the kitchen - yet I push on - allowing the expansive Space beyond, to lift me upwards. I am twirled up in a galactic animation, one that draws me into the sensation and presence of each of the interplanetary bodies which permeate the scene. I watch, as Mercury, Venus, Earth, the planets all spiral into formation, moving into orbit about the Sun. Now I see the solar system.

And then a flicker, the scene Zooms-Out. Now follows the Galactic view, our solar system as part of the larger galaxy. I hear Valum Votan speaking in the background, quoting from the Quran, about the majestic expanse of allah's creation. These words, are moving - adding power and a sense of revelation to the experience. The zooming continues. Each time, I seem to step back into another deeper layer of the galactic lens. Finally, I am observing the movement of whole galactic world systems. I watch them spin about on long spiral orbits, which take the form of coloured strands of energy and light, interweaving amongst one another. Strand amongst strand amongst strand. I am at once a part of this grand galactic scheme.

By this stage, the scene begins to experience transition. I can feel the presence of a guide here with me - who I know I can ask questions, and so the scene makes the space to accomodate our mental mode of conversation. At first I see images/diagrams, relating to the earlier scenes. I see "vector-diagrams" showing the movement of cosmic forces, and other unusual material. Yet this is all quite difficult to recall.

I talk for a moment with my guide, who gradually takes on the appearance of human form. After some time, it appears I've got to go. Apparently, me and a friend have some kind of meeting with "Julie" that we need to attend to. I let him know that I've gotta return so I can hold this experience in my memory to share when I return to the world, giving him a friendly punch on the back. "Seeya mister!" I say - as though it were one of my own personal idioms.

I ask him if there's anything he thinks we should see on the return voyage "home". He seems to think that's up to me, kindly showing me a door on the left, which leads into a little elevator. As I enter the elevator, I realise the bizarreness of this whole experience - of being able to suddenly return from such a place, by means of an elevator. It seems my house is on the floor below. I wake soon after.

Comments: Quite incredible the way this dream all came together. I wasn't able to retain as much of the experience in a level of energetic/bodily remembering as I sometimes do, but it was really cool to be whisked away like that, caught up in the galactic animation.

I'm excited now - at the thought of continued visits to this "Solar Dreaming Age"
