Peace

[Paul Lange]

More clearing work for me it seems. Another disturbing dream last night.

It started with pretty normal dreamtime stuff. I had moved into a new place by myself and was having to deal with the insecurity of a new place, no friends, etc. I chalk this one up to new beginnings and an open field of possibilities to work with.

The second phase was being in a theatre watching a movie and there was a single knob on the seat in front of every seat in the house. If you rotated the knob, you adjusted the picture quality (something like adjusting contrast). People were moving it and messing with the picture until it was as good as it was going to get. The person next to me was unusual in that he had bullet wounds on his head and had some difficulty in social situations. He messed with the knob the most and was upsetting other people. For whatever reason I made one final adjustment and people just freaked out with one guy in the crowd yelling about it. I just had to ignore it, but the guy next to me was having a really hard time. Maybe this was about dealing with the riffraff in life, don't know.

This then moved to an unusual 'rural' shopping area. I was in a store with many stories and at the top was a toy store. A friend was picking out a toy for his nephew. Somewhere in this store complex I was helping to build something. It was a construction project and I was explaining to the electrician how the laundry room was laid out.

I know, all of that was mundane, but it seems to be about creating and working with others.

Now to the clearing work. The people I was with in the laundry room and toy store went onto a balcony in a tropical part of the world. There were very modern-looking helicopters flying around and in the distance on a hillside (not very far away) there was a bunker and "the enemy" was in this bunker. The helicopters were on "our side" and were shooting at these modern sci-fi troop carriers enroute to this bunker. We could see them shooting at the troop carriers which appeared to be armored as the bullets just bounced off of them. When the troop carrier landed at the bunker landing area, the doors opened we could see military personnel inside, and several of them were shot and killed by the helicopters.

The view then went to close-ups of the enemy at the bunker which had open railings where the enemy would pop-up to shoot outward at the helicopters. The enemy was all white and as soon as they would pop-up, they would be hit by bullets and break apart. They didn't appear to be human or living at all. I could hear a guy I knew at Microsoft telling me very matter-of-factly that they were maggot dolls, or cadavers that were stood up to take the hits. It was all very disturbing and the visuals are still with me this morning.

I asked him why the helicopters are bothering to shoot at them when it's obvious the enemy is within the bunker, not standing on the balcony.

Then I started to wake up and regain some awareness.

I thought, this is stupid, why is this being allowed?

I invoked the Violet Flame on, and in, the bunker, and the entire bunker complex disappeared, leaving only the tropical hillside. The helicopters and troop carriers were gone. It was peaceful and war was no longer at play.

At least this time, there was no regret, no guilt, and the Violet Flame did it's thing very effectively.

It felt to me like the end of a very long conflict. A mirror of the end of conflict in our lives as well.
