A ball of blinding light from the sky shot through the nameless dreamer’s eyes.
It shocked the girl for a moment, causing her to cover her face, but she felt no pain.
When she opened her eyes again, her vision was permanently changed.
She no longer saw things the way she saw them before.
As she opened her eyes, a new world was born.
The faces of the enlightened ones grew visible in the darkness of the midnight sky.
The faces turned into full-bodied beings made of the cosmos above.
Light Cosmic dust and geometric shapes emphasized the details within each being.
They laughed lightheartedly, smiled, and bowed to the dear girl.
They acknowledged an infinite source of power within the girl;
A power that she couldn’t see within herself.
The enlightened beings in the stars swiftly morphed into the shape of one single face;
That face belonged to the nameless dreamer.
A deep velvety voice said,”This is who you are. Some things cannot be seen with the human eye, but that doesn’t mean it’s not there.”
“I find that hard to believe. How can something exist if you can’t see it?”
“Be as skeptical as you may, but one day you will understand.”
The face in the stars disappeared along with the cosmic dust and sacred geometric shapes.
All that remained was one single star; a star that was the brightest out of all.
The star blinked for one moment, which made the girl feel puzzled, but shortly thereafter she grew determined for an answer.
The moment I closed my eyes was the same moment that my life had changed. I was underwater and was swimming downwards. The bottom of the ocean was not of this earth. It was dark, dismal, and looked like it was a gnarled underground result from some sort of nuclear disaster. Rocks and shards of brown, gray, and rusted objects surrounded me. The tension around me built and I could hear nasty grumbles and growling. I got even deeper and was able to finally see an object that I needed to get. It was a massive light orb that had some illegible writing on it. I could hear “NO! NO! NO! You will not have that! Come back here!” and saw malevolent beings made of the sludge and slime that was on the bottom of the water. I swam upwards from the water and took off. I felt a layer from my wings (I had wings in this experience) being pulled off, revealing a dark golden-silver color. As I began to fly higher and higher, weight started to fall off and I started to feel light, but strong. Almost weightless, but maintaining a form of solid light.
I opened by eyes and felt a significant change in my aura, third, and crown chakras. It was what I can only describe as growing pains. The second time I closed my eyes, I saw myself performing the same action and saw that there were several orbs on the ocean’s floor. All of them had illegible writing on them. Then I saw myself going into a different area which was a cave straight into a colossal cave with lava and moving rocks. I pulled more light orbs and flew through a narrow exit in the cave. All of my chakras lit up and more weight was pulled from my being. It was painful and intense, but after I came out of there, I felt different. Then I went into another cave that was very earthy like, went in, grabbed an orb, and flew back outwards towards the sky.
The third time I closed my eyes I could see myself and my aura in the shape of a massive bubble. The outside of the bubble was reflective with a thin layer of rainbow light and the rest of my aura was indigo. Next, I jumped through a bunch of dark clouds and stood in front of a few of my spirit guides. A massive amount of weight was taken off my whole being. My guides smiled and me and said,”Welcome back”. I smiled and inspected my whole being and felt the anger, sadness, confusion, and negativity from my body was pulled off of me like a veil of darkness was taken off of me. In the background of the clouds I was standing upon, I saw everyone in the Breathing Zone chat standing in a row. They were all beings of reflective light and they all looked like crystals. The light they were made of interlocked with one another into a sideways geometric shape. Suddenly they shot up towards the sky, blew up, and fell back into the cosmos and formed the stars.
I’m excited to see what next week is going to bring. =)
With the gentle twist of the key, the door began to slowly open towards her. She backed up a couple steps and looked through the door. The orb landed on her right shoulder and nuzzled up against the girl’s neck. Once again the sensation of warm tingles that she felt before came back. A sky of endless purple cosmos came into view. Each star was different from the other.
“Each individual star has their own story to tell” said the indigo orb. The orb had a voice unlike any other. The orb distinctly has a male’s voice, but the orb’s voice is anything but masculine. It was softer than the purest silk. “Space is timeless and the universe is infinite. You are in control of your own destiny dear girl.”
“I’m completely speechless. I don’t know what to say or do. It’s just, wow.”
“Take a leap of faith! Jump into the stars. You’ve got nothing to lose, and an endless universe to gain.”
“Are you joking??? I don’t have any wings! How am I supposed to do that???” Suddenly a small set of bird-like wings popped up from the orb. They were the same color as the orb and glowed as bright as the moon.
“You don’t need any wings this time, silly. I’ve got you covered.”
“But I-” The orb grabbed the girl by the hood of the robe and flung her through the door. The orb let loose of the girl then grabbed her by the hood of the robe again.
“What the hell was that??? You almost let me fall!”
“I would never let you fall dear girl. Not ever.”
The orb and girl glided through the endless cosmos. The duo burst straight into a cosmic cloud and came out the other side covered in sparkling water droplets and purple dust. The orb giggled as the girl sneezed from the sparkling water and dust. What in the world is this stuff??
“Hahahahahaha! It’s stardust my dear. One of the oldest substances in the universe.”
“Wait, you could hear what I was thinking?”
“Yes!”
“You can read my mind?”
“I don’t consider it to be reading your mind. I am however able to sense your thoughts, emotions, and state of being.”
“So, you can hear whatever I am thinking?”
“Yes. You can even direct a thought in a certain direction, let’s say my direction for example, I can perceive what you are thinking. Go ahead and give it a try!”
Is this whole thing real?
“Just as real as you and me.”
“I don’t quite understand.” The girl moved her long bangs from her eyes and scratched her head in confusion.
“That is okay my dear. This is only the beginning! There are a lot of things that you have yet to learn.”
“I don’t want to sound stupid or anything like that though” She sighed. “It’s like as if everything has been wiped from my mind. Its completely blank.”
“You do not sound stupid! Nor will you ever sound stupid. This is only the beginning and this is very very hard stuff to learn. You will get the hang of it, I promise.”
“Get the hang of what spirit orb???”
“You’ll see.”

As the girl ran after the indigo orb, a sharp pain jabbed her shoulders and back, causing her to fall to her knees. Ow! What the hell? She jumped back up to find that there was nothing behind her. She felt her shoulders for any kind of bleeding or open gashes. What the? I know this is a dream, but that really really hurt. Thankfully I’m not bleeding or anything like that. “Follow me dear indigo girl! There is no time to waste!” The orb yelled at her from a distance.
“What did you just call me? I’m a what?” The orb was inches away from her face once again.
“I say you are an indigo girl.” The orb gently tapped her nose and let out a soft giggle. This gave the girl a warm tingly sensation that went from her feet up through the crown of her head. She had never felt anything like this before, but she certainly wanted to feel it again.
“I still don’t know what that means spirit orb light thingy.”
“You will soon enough. Follow me!” The orb darted off once again into the distance. Suddenly a small dot appeared within the girl’s sight. The farther she ran, the bigger the dot appeared. As she got closer to the dot, the dot began to grow into the form of an old wooden door. It’s hinges, knobs, and locks were made of pure gold and the wood smelled of freshly cut oak, despite its age. The orb stopped in the girl’s tracks as soon as she was a few yards away from it. “Take this!” A large golden key came from the orb and dropped onto the ground in front of the girl’s feet. She kneeled down to grab the key, then suddenly that sharp jabbing pain came back. The pain was nearly unbearable. She couldn’t get up from the surface of the water and curled into a fetal position. The pain shot through her whole body this time. “You must get up!”
“I-I can’t! It hur-rts too much!” She began to cry as the pain permated through her body.
“Oh I almost forgot. Here, let me give you something to help you with those growing pains.” The orb tapped on the girl’s back and suddenly the pain gone. “Shhhh don’t you cry dear one. This should help.”
“Thank you. I really needed that.” The girl got up with the key and used one of her hands to feel the back of her shoulders. There were two distinct lumps stood a few inches out of her shoulders. What the hell is this???
“Those growing pains will come and go dear girl. As time goes on it will be easier to handle them. They will stop eventually. That I can assure you.”
“Why am I having these in the first place?”
“You will find out more as soon as you open this door.” The orb started to float towards the door knob. “A whole new world awaits you behind this door.”
This is one crazy dream. She thought to herself.
“Who said that this was a dream?”
The girl began to walk towards the door of gold and ancient oak. She gently put the key in the keyhole. The key began to glow as it entered the keyhole. And with that, her journey beyond the cosmos began.
Part 1 | Next Part
The moment her eyes opened the new world, she knew that nothing would ever be the same. Her icy blue eyes couldn’t absorb everything around her. A sky full of color that stretched on for what seemed forever, reflective waters as far as the eye can see, one single tree sitting behind her back sitting upon a tiny patch of grass, but what was this? A gentle breeze blew her strawberry-golden blonde hair to the side. She looked down at her dainty bare feet and wiggled her toes within the thick grass. Is this even real? The grass feels real. No way. She thought. She stood up from the chair she woke up in and gazed upon the endless cosmos. Huh? She found that she was wearing a soft white robe with a hood in the back. I know for a fact that I did not go to sleep wearing this. And yet… I don’t plan on taking this off any time soon. This is the softest thing I have ever worn in my life!
Suddenly a small orb of indigo light landed on her left shoulder, which caused her to jump. “Hi! What are you?” The orb was the size of an average human fist. It floated at her eye level, but did not say anything back. Suddenly the orb darted forward above the water. “Wait! Where are you going??? Come back!” The girl began to sprint after the orb without paying any mind to the water. She stumbled over the grass onto the surface of the water, which was as solid as ice… but it wasn’t ice. The surface of the water was very much wet with a thin layer of reflective water, but underneath it was completely solid. Wha? There’s no way that this is happening. I’m standing on water… I’m ACTUALLY standing on water. She kneeled down and ran her fingers across the surface of the water.
“Follow me!” The orb silently whispered to the girl. She stood up looked up and saw that the orb was a few inches away from her face. As soon as the orb showed up in front of the girl’s face, it swiftly took off. With that, the girl sprinted towards the orb.
Last night before bed I decided to spend some time doing some heavy meditation. I spent a little over 30 minutes meditating with binaural beats with music. When I was meditating, I saw and felt something very very magical.
At first I saw myself in the cosmos and I was gently floating into the arms of a goddess like figure, made from the stars and cosmos around us. I could feel myself falling into a deeper state of meditation.
I saw myself standing on the ground right next to a middle-sized tree. I wasn’t in a human form at all. I remember being some kind of animal, a mix between a wolf, a dragon, and something else. I was a light blue color with bright blue eyes. I could see myself running and then taking off from the ground and going up higher and higher into the summit. I could see orbs and smaller energy forms forming around my shoulders and wings as I went through several layers of clouds. They followed me as the ones who were meant to stay on the ground, stayed on the ground. I was tempted to look back, but I didn’t. I was urged to keep going higher.
At one point I heard something say, “This is what happens when you get sick and don’t take care of yourself” I saw myself falling from the sky and then falling into a body of water. I felt tired and alone. I wasn’t able to get back up into the sky. I came back out and wandered along the side of the water, through thick brush and trees, trying to find a place to recuperate. I found a place to lie down for a bit. Then I remember getting up and finding a small waterfall. There was someone there by the waterfall. I don’t quite remember who the person was, but they felt familiar. I also remember at that point being a human again. The waterfall began to glow and then light began to fill everything around us. Life began to bloom and the color was restored within everything around me. The person by me waved at me and then I took off into the skies again.
After awhile all I could see is what appeared to be a valley created by the cosmos. It was filled with dark red and purple dust. I could hear a gentle voice speaking affirmations to me which made me feel at ease. That same voice told me to ignore the ones that spoke poorly about myself, the one filled with negativity that would throw me off. That was the voice that was my ego; the ego that is influenced by anger and fear. After that I woke up feeling relaxed and ready for bed.
Title: Psycho Psychedelic Shark Searching for a ‘Light’ Snack

inspiration- randomness
Flowing and rowing through this again.
Magma flow burning my skin.
Why is this flow going through my head?
It hurts so much it makes me wish I was dead.
I wish not to die by the skin or the soul.
I wish for this flow to die by putting out the coal.
Success and love is my only goal.
And then I heard a voice say: ‘Walk slowly, speak softly, think slowly my dear.
Life within this moment and there will be nothing to fear.
Tread forward slowly like a gentle waltz in a marble ballroom.
What is going at the speed as the fastest land mammal in the world going to do?
Or even faster than the speed of light, do you really think that would leave you a clue?
I’m afraid it won’t, don’t you see?
Flying at the speed with which your mind can only allow won’t set you free.’
So this whole entire time it’s been this Cosmic Brain Fog that has been slowing me down.
All of this stress, pressure, and scalding heat throbbing through my temple, third eye, and crown.
It was caused by nothing. Really? I find that hard to believe.
This society doesn’t think so, and sometimes neither do I.
As long as the fog dissipates from my eternal flow, then I don’t give a fuck.
I’ll go with the flow.
