Also, I woke in the middle of the night, sprung up in bed, gasping for air.. I even woke my husband up with it, though I wasn't aware I had done it. He reacted , asking if everything was okay.. he said it seemed like there was an intruder, from my reaction. I don't remember everything, just what he told me.. then I vaguely had the feeling I couldn't breathe, and that's why I awoke so crazily.

Sorry I dont have a definite answer of what happened, but I have similar experiences and they are scary at times. I'll have to do some more researching on this. I'd love to know what is going on too.

When you said you saw, "A man, dangling upside down, bound, with an orange cover/gag in/over his mouth." and then you awoke gasping for air and you "vaguely had the feeling you couldn't breathe", it really made me think you could have been seeing a flash of a past life. Who knows? What do you think of this theory?

Pixie That would definately be unsettling. I would wonder the same as you ... did I pick something up from somewhere? What does it mean? (If anything?) Past life? Something about the house? The neighbor's? Some haphazard image from someone else's mind or life or past or future that I just happened to intercept at just the right time, right moment, right vibration? Who could say.

I'm no help.
The first thing that came to my mind on this one was "The Hanged Man" in tarot.

Even I thought that the hanged man appeared to you, Just as Proxoeme did.

I had previously posted a thread called 12 and this is what Meili and Fishkitten had exchanged:

quote:

---

12 - The Hanged Man - Mem - The Sea
Meili: Is this the same “sea” that mystics such as Rumi speak of?

- Yes, it is the same sea…the great ocean of all that can be…the Nexus….represented in physical manifestation as the seas of the Earth to remind us of the depths from which we originate. I like the philosophy espoused by Rumi, although I think there are more convenient ways than whirling to find what one seeks.

The only thing I heard in a dream was a chanting in some language. And I was drifting in space and objects came flying to me one by one. First was an angel like being with wings (I was afraid to take a look at its face and it passed by) and the next was a hand a 2 foot hand(starting from wrist and 4 fingers) all white. I enjoyed it and same time scared. A voice was telling me don't worry? I didn't know where the voice came from? I said oh God let me go back. And next thing I woke up. And cursing myself, why was I scared of such a beautiful vision and chanting.

The way the dream started was I saw a blue light near the forehead center. Then I zoomed to a particular tile of a floor and going past, I observed those flying objects.
All the time a voice from nowhere was guiding me.

I would love to bring closure and say.. oh yes,it made sense.. but nope.. not the hanged man. Doesn't seem right.
I guess it is just one of those wonky things.... but rest assured, I am not fogetting to surround myself and loved ones with white light. Truly... even if it simply calms me and is part of the wind-down routine and has no merit aside from that ( it does) it works. Centres me and leaves me in calm peace. *most of the time*
