The Living Force
Hey All:
Last night I had a very vivid dream about our post apocalyptic world that I’d like to share. I sometimes have dreams like this, but this one was a bit different and here is how:
During the past 2 weeks I’ve been listening to the Prayer of the Soul (PotS) portion with the music every night before bed, after doing one or two sets of pipe-breathing. (I’ll be doing the full meditation today, being Monday) So last night, during the meditation, while listening to the PotS I had a little vision of the Earth in Space and I saw this big rock moving towards it from a group of a whole bunch of other rocks. Which I believe to be the asteroid belt. Anyway, I recall seeing this big rock in a circular motion coming towards the Earth, and then I don’t remember what happened but my thought went on something else, and soon I fell asleep and dreamt…
-DREAM-
I was in a big house, it wasn’t my current house but it resembled it. It was a 2 story house and the top floor was like 180 degrees of windows/doors and it seemed as if Nima and I were running a restaurant.
There were just a few people there and it was pretty late so I decided to go out for a smoke or something, but I went outside on the roof. I was lying down and looking at the sky and thinking about what it would be like when the asteroids hit, when all of a sudden I saw this HUGE black rock circulating (the same rock as the one I saw during meditation) coming towards me… there were other rocks with it that were going past the house and towards the city but this one was heading right for the house. Anyway it crashed into the house and pretty much demolished it. I came to, in a pile of rubble and Nima was there with me asking if I was ok. I said yes and was like, “It’s finally happened”, and he was like “I know.” I said we need to get some supplies and get out of here and head for high ground and he agreed. I found a big jacket and wore it, and went to a still standing cabinet that was once a booze cabinet and started to fill my pocket with alcohol thinking these would come in handy. The house was not stable and we needed to leave immediately. So we headed out but I was in bare foot and had stepped in glass, and was bleeding.
Nima said we need to stop to take a look at the wound but I said I don’t want to look at it just yet, since we need to keep moving and I don’t want to be distracted by the pain since it was numb. He agreed and we kept moving. Suddenly a cat ran towards us and I thought it was my kitty Luna but it was some other cat.. my eyes filled with tears for a very brief moment and I said to Nima, “I thought it was Luna… but she’s probably gone.” He said, “You don’t know that.. we could go and look for her.” I said it’s very improbable that she was still alive and even if she was, it would be very hard to look for her in all the rubble. I said there was no point in going back and that she was on her own now. So we kept moving.
We got to an apartment building that was half in ruins. We decided to go in and see if there was anyone alive in there or any equipment we could use. As we were climbing the stairs I saw a chair that had a battery operated radio on a table next to it that was running static. I picked it up and began to tune it… I got a staticy voice saying,
“I repeat: North America has been hit by a planetary body, most likely an asteroid. No news on anything hitting the East side of the Earth but as it stands the West has been bombarded by asteroids.”
There was something else on the table it was some cookies or something and I took it and stuck it in my pocket and we were walking away towards the steps when we saw 3 people coming down the stairs talking. They saw us as we were coming up the stairs, there was an old lady a man that resembled the actor Jon Lovitz, and another lady. The man was carrying a large booze bottle and appeared to be drunk. The lady said to the old woman, “I think they took your cookies.” I turned back and said, “yes I took them, I’m sorry I didn’t think they belonged to anyone.” I gave the cookies back and they gazed at me with very angry eyes and the lady took the cookies back angrily. As I gave the cookies back I said, “You know I was nice enough to give those back, there will be a lot of hungry people soon and they may not be as nice. Don’t leave your valuables lying around if you don’t want them taken.” The lady’s anger faded and she seemed more embarrassed now. We began to walk away when the man said, “wait.. you’re bleeding.” Pointing to my foot that was covered in blood due to the glass wound. I said yeah, “I stepped in some glass.” He said, “well I may not be good for much, but I’m still a doctor.. let me have a look at it.” I let him examine my foot, he said he needed a disinfectant so I gave him a mini booze bottle from my pocket and he poured it all over my foot which hurt a LOT in the dream and began removing the glass, while Nima helped him. The Man tied my wounds tightly with a cloth he ripped from his shirt and stated, “ok this will do, but you’re gonna need some shoes if you’re leaving.” One of the ladies stated that the floor below there was a house with a lot of kids and they may have shoes in there.. Nima went and looked for some shoes and he found some.. he ripped 2 apart and made sort of a cast with them and we were off.
We kept walking and we got to a place that had one running lap-top that was connected to satellite internet and a very long line up of people wanting to use it. We stood in line and when our turn came, I wrote a quick e-mail to my family in Iran telling them I was ok, and that they should prepare because what happened here may happen there. Nima asked if we should check the forum but by the time I finished my e-mail there were a lot of impacient/angry people waiting to use the computer next so I said, “no. it’s too late for that now. We’re on our own.” We left and the next scene we were resting on a hill keeping each other warm and gazing at the sky, trying to rest. I said, “I can’t belive it’s finally happening.” Nima said, “I can..” I said, “You know at least there is one thing I’m glad about…”
“what?” he asked
“That we’re together and I’m not alone.” My eyes filled with tears then and we embraced each other tightly.
That’s when I woke up~
The big impressions I got from this dream was how relevantly calm I was throughout the ordeal. Usually, when I have these dreams I’m crying a lot and pretty hysterical. But this time I was pretty calm and I have a feeling it’s due to all the meditation. The other is the fact of walking on glasses… I’ve had a lot of dreams where I’ve walked on broken glass and had to keep moving even though my foot was injured with glass in it and I was bleeding.

That’s interesting that if you see broken glass you are going through a change in your life. It’s kind of weird because it’s not so much that I SAW broken glass as more like walked in it, and was injured by it… but I couldn’t find anything specifically about that online. Other than that,I have been doing a lot of thinking in regards to my career which I wrote about in this thread… so maybe that’s the change its signifying? But I’m not sure… just thinking out loud. What do you guys think?

Glass
to see glass in your dream, symbolizes passivity. to dream that you are drinking from a glass, is an omen of good luck. to dream that you are looking through glass, represents your openness and non-defensiveness. alternatively, you may be putting up an invisible emotional barrier around yourself. to see broken glass in your dream, signifies a change in your life. you will find that a situation will come to an abrupt and untimely end. to dream that you are eating glass, highlights your vulnerability, confusion and frailty. you may have difficulties in communicating your thoughts across and getting the right words out. alternatively, it may symbolize your hurtful and cutting comments. perhaps you have been hurt or disappointed by something that someone had said. or you need to be careful in how you phrase and word things or run the risk of offending others.
That’s interesting that if you see broken glass you are going through a change in your life. It’s kind of weird because it’s not so much that I SAW broken glass as more like walked in it, and was injured by it… but I couldn’t find anything specifically about that online.
