dream log and sync log

My dream notes in a tiny sketchbook. Double click for a HI-rez image.

At the beginning of the New Year, Christopher Knowles (of the Secret Sun) wrote this in his blog:

"Here's my suggestion... keep a dream log and sync log, starting today. Keep track of your dreams and the synchronicities you observe or experience. And then see if by the end of the year the two logs haven't become one."

I thought to myself, I've already done that - It's my blog!

So here's a recent dream. I was at a high school reunion type event, it was in a bar and it seemed to be somewhere in New York City. I was in a sort of back room with some friends at a table. I see Mike Lewis walk down a hall and enter the room, and he walks right up to me.

Now, if you haven't read thru this blog, you won't know the significance of Mike Lewis (a pseudonym), read up on it HERE.

I try to start some small talk, but all I can do is blurt out: "Do you remember that night in 1974?"

Right then, he interrupts me, and talks over my words saying only: "November forth."

I try to ask him what he means, but he simply repeats himself over and over, "November forth, November forth."

I wake up.

I recognize how strange that dream is and I grab a small sketchbook near my bed and write down Nov. 4th and some notes (image above), and go back to sleep. In the morning, I try to figure out the potential significance. Was the Friday night of the Orange Flash and Missing Time November 4th 1974? It was obviously football season, and that makes sense. This was easy to check on-line, and no, that day was a Monday. Was this the Monday where Mike Lewis told me he saw, "a UFO with lights and everything?"

Maybe I'm making something out of nothing, but the least I can do is pay attention.

Will this dream merge into a synchronicity on November 4th 2010?

FOURTH vs FORTH

Ooooops, I messed up. I made a spelling error and spell-check thought it was a different word. Do I keep the mis-spelled word in the post? Do I correct it to FOURTH?

I looked up the dictionary definition of the word FORTH. And, it reads as curiously meaningful given the context of the posting.

forth / adverb

1. out from a starting point and forward or into view : the plants will bush out, putting forth fresh shoots.

2. onward in time : from that day forth he gave me endless friendship.

Lovely idea about keeping a journal like this, I've done the same for years, off and on. And, like you Mike, my blogs, particularly Saucer Sightings and Orange Orb, are journals of travels in this esoteric realm...

Just kind of going with your flow here; just submitted a piece to UFO Magazine about one of my dreams involving a UFO, my blog is the Orange orb,named after an intense UFO sighting of an orange orb that included missing time and my husband's birthday is Nov. 4th.

Pay attention to what Regan has to say, Mike.

PS: I also find interesting that you wrote November forth, instead of November fourth. Maybe someone is advising you to move forward in November?

FOURTH vs FORTH

Ooooops, I messed up. I made a spelling error and spell-check thought it was a different word. Do I keep the mis-spelled word in the post? Do I correct it to FOURTH? Hmmm, I might need to consult an ethicist (*).

Also - more definitions and spell check stuff. ethicist is defined (thru Wikipedia) thusly: "An ethicist is one whose judgment on ethics and ethical codes has come to be trusted by a specific community"

But spell check turned it into: atheists (Hmmmm?)

A note from my pal Natascha (from Germany) came in on email this morning:

"I read your blog post today.....and recognized something on the pen on the picture you took of your note book ... there are some words in German (Micro Pigment für wasserfestes und lichtechtes Zeichnen)."

I don't know what it means, but I think it's funny.

Mike such a great idea! I keep my own sketch diary (though I can't draw right now) and also record my dreams such as the recent one about the sleeping buddha and bone tablets. I will try to get that on my blog soon.

I REALLY like how you are tracking synchronicities. I will add this idea to my own journaling.

Speaking of synchronicities, interesting that this story involves the year 1974. As you know this is the same year that my cigarette lady story took place, which you and I have discussed via email over the past week. Weird.

I'm DYING to get back to drawing again. My hand is healing, though a bit more slowly than I would wish.

Kartott - Yes - I was very aware of the 1974 thing. This comes up over and over and over. That must have been a "HOT" year, and I still feel the echos.

1973 & 74 were pretty hot years in UFO sightings. You can watch this lecture by the late John Keel in which he discusses just that:

And here's another example I just recently found:

http://www.project1947.com/kbcat/kbent0505.htm


"3 Oct 1973 North Melbourne Vic Early morn Shaw

Waking up, with his brother still asleep in the same room, a man saw two figures in the room with him. The two "men" suspended off the floor were swaying from side to side. They had large, bald heads, slit-like eyes, lipless mouths and small flat noses. Finally, one let out a high pitched whine and both faded to nothingness.
(FSR 1979. 25(1):4-5.)"


This particular case was very intriguing to me. First, because I found about it when browsing a book I bought last year about the Fatima Virgin encounters (a case that fascinates me).

And secondly, because Oct. 3rd 1973 happens to be the day I was born ;)

I could spend too much time on your blog!

Like you I keep a dream and coincidence/synchronicity journal and it's good to look back on some of the listings. Gradually things fall into place.

Mike.
