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.

Hello salome

Thank you for sharing your dream. It is a very interesting one.

Something precious to you, lost. I'll give this dream more attention as soon as I can ... is there something represented by the ring (whatever the significance is to you) which seems to be slipping away from you?

And this water experience may represent some sort of cleansing/revitalizing on some level ... not sure yet.

Be back soon.

thanks for answering Ra

i always appreciate your insight.

my focus seemed to be more on why the snake ring washed away, and at the same time, why the ankh ring did not. and the meaning of the smoky quartz crystal bracelet as well...perhaps what the items of jewelry signify to me.

perhaps i'll look up some of the correspondences for smoky quartz...

and of course, sleeping in the flow of the rushing water has me baffled as well.

as for the snake theme, i have a very positive view of their regenerative association...snake came to me as a totem guide around this time last year, and a new totem has made its presence known as of late....it could signify a changing type of energy in my surroundings....

i love positive infusions of thought!

thanks for giving my dream your attention.

The sky was filled with a thousand stars
While the sun kissed the mountains blue
And eleven moons played across rainbows

I'm having difficulty putting this one together so far. Can't quite seem to wrap my mind around the specifics. Give me another day ...

Hello salome

Thank you for your patience. I'm not sure how much I can help, though. I can't seem to quite "get it", but I do have some thoughts that could apply in a general sense. Maybe you can see something in them.

The crystals, snake ring, and sleeping in the flowing water all can symbolize transformative, even magical, energies, and this indeed is the feeling one gets from the dream as a whole. It could be suggested that this change/transformation is beginning in the realm of the unconscious (sleeping), therefore not yet manifest in your waking life. The feeling of the waterfall is certainly one of cleansing/purification, perhaps a precursor to the change to come, since it is the water wich removes the jewelry.

So, what are you being cleansed of?

In a general sense, I would say that perhaps you have outgrown some 'energy' that you are attached to (snake ring). This could be associated with your beliefs, ideals, or your mental or spiritual nature. This 'energy' being removed is precious and beautiful, yet not-quite-clear in some way (smoky quartz) ... perhaps an energy which you "boorrowed" from elsewhere - attractive, yet not "crystal clear". It could be that this energy is/was keeping you from taking some necessary action (bracelets can symbolically cut off energy to hands), or from embracing something you need.

What is the ankh? Life? What does this symbolize to you, and why do you think it would survive the transition?

You may also want to consider the similarities between the ankh and the serpent/snake, as well as the differences. Why wouldn't 'snake' energy make it through the change?

What do you think?

dear delightful Ra ~

you are very spot on with your explanations here.....about the transformative energies....

the ankh symbolizes immortality for me....and i believe the dream has something to do with heightening frequencies....something very tied in with crystal energy.....

i can feel the energy of the smoky quartz....as though it appeared to bestow some energy and effect of which i was in need...then washed away....not just in a disappearing sense....but in a 'messenger' sense....as though it were taking a resonance of me with it......into some universal kind of energy, thus freeing up some essential energy of mine, as you stated with your interpretation of the restricting nature of the bracelet.

Ra ~ your thoughts here provided an essential key of understanding for me. i even had contact with one whose higher frequency vibration i felt, recently, who also commented on both my bracelet and ring.

love you Ra ~ your generosity of spirit is profound.
