i awoke in a lucid dream state after feeling the intensity of this event in my dream, early this morning. the whole dream was involved and complex and somewhat disturbing, but it's this one segment that looms so large...i was wandering the landscape of an unfamiliar private residence. i came upon an enormous indoor waterfall, very deep, wide and powerful. as i made my way across the rushing water, which was warm and flowing with great strength, i discovered a bracelet which consisted of a large chunk of smoky quartz crystal...the crystal was very big, it covered a good portion of my forearm when i slipped it on my wrist. i was very taken with this bracelet, it was quite beautiful with an unusual depth and brilliance. i thought it unusual that i was finding such strange but delightful things in this landscape.
i knew the bracelet was not mine to keep, but as i had found it in the rush of the waterfall, i felt it was ok to put it on and enjoy wearing it, if just for a little while. i was also wearing my own jewelry, a ring on my left hand that is a snake that runs the length of my lower finger, the tail at the joint of my finger, twisting down to the top of my knuckle, the snake's face with garnet eyes -- a pentacle rests within the curves of the snake. on my left hand i wear a ring that is an ankh, the band consists of 4 snakes entwining my finger.
so it was with this jewelry adorning my hands and wrist, the smokey quartz bracelet, the garnet eyed snake ring and the ankh ring, that i fell asleep in the middle of the waterfall. the waterfall was not a vertical drop, but at a slant rather, and for some reason this was both a comfortable position and place to sleep...
i was facing head up, with the warm water rushing from the top of my head and down around me, and i went into a deep sleep, in a very relaxed state. the feeling of the water rushing all around and beside me was tangible, i can still feel the sensation from the dream...and hear the roar of the waterfall....but i slept soundly...
it was from this sleep that i awoke in a lucid way in the dream. when i awoke, i was aware that i was dreaming, and waking up in my dream...and the first thing i became aware of was that both my snake ring with the garnet eyes on my left hand, and the smoky quartz bracelet on my right wrist, had washed off in the rush of the water while i slept....and i was frantic! i was in such a panic after discovering these were gone....swimming down the waterfall in search of them, but knowing that finding them in such a large expanse of rushing water would be almost impossible....
and i was so very distressed....esp at the loss of my snake ring, i'm very attached to it and it holds a lot of significance. i was feeling very sad, and distressed also at the loss of the beautiful and substantial smoky quartz bracelet.
in my lucid state i was trying to understand the significance of such things happening....why the snake ring would wash away from my hand, but not the ankh...
these thoughts seemed so very important in my waking dream, with the rush of water all around me...i could see myself asleep, with the water rushing down my floating arms, and washing away the ring and bracelet....
then i awoke for real and these questions still seemed so burning....i still tried to understand in the most intense way what this meant...then i drifted back into the dream and back to sleep....
and waking later most of the dream remains hazy, except for this waterfall sleep moment with the jewelry, and it still seems like an important thing i'm supposed to understand...
but it's still eluding me, even as i feel the whole incident in as much, or more, a real way as anything that has happened in my real life. trying to find insight with this.
thanks for listening.
