Giant Teddie Bear

Dreaming gives us many experiences and feelings, as well as the odd few lessons. Many dreams have a certain depth of quality about them, as though they are messages from somewhere; maybe from our sub-conscious, or perhaps from somewhere higher.

Other dreams seem to be external to us – as though they have somehow been placed in our mind as we slept. And there are many other types of dreams besides. One certain thing though, is that our dreams are always worth paying attention to.

I believe there is a direct correlation between how much we remember of our dreams, and how aware we are of our waking environment.

Here follows a dream of mine from sometime last year…

*The After Life on a Conveyer Belt and a Giant Teddie Bear*

Sat in a chair I was trundling along peacefully upon a conveyer belt, in my lap was a polystyrene container – the type in which fast-food places sell burgers – in this was a salad comprised mainly of lettuce. Well strangely enough I felt myself to be in the afterlife, and the salad was all the goodness that had been in my life, my loved ones. I projected love upon the salad and sent some tears to fall upon it. But I knew the conveyer belt was carrying me and everyone else along to somewhere new.

Things jumped backwards a bit then, I was standing in my parent’s garden, staring up at the night sky. It was very clear – like you see when it is a cloudless frosty winter’s night. The stars had a clarity I hadn’t really noticed before, and then movement in the sky caught my eye. It was a parachute, red in colour the kind sky-divers use. I watched this descend for a while; it was up very high and falling very very slowly. Then more of these parachutes came into view, I looked closer at them and saw they carried a metal object. Somehow I knew it to be a nuclear device and that when they hit the ground they would detonate. There were many of these devices indeed. But it wasn’t all bad; they were falling slowly so I had some time to spare before the big bang.

My brother was standing next to me then – he’s been great, I told him that, and then went into the house. My dad was there, and I said a few words to him, before finding myself in the high street of our local town. I was near my mother-in-laws house, so decided to go there. When I arrived my parent’s were there looking into the sky – I told them what was happening and then went to find my wife. She was sitting on the stairs. We talked for a moment, and I reassured her and everyone that things weren’t all bad and that we would go on to a new life. They asked me if I was sure – and I told them simply “Yes”.

Then I was in the after life again. The conveyer belt ran on in front of me, attached to it were great shiny steel chairs. I sat in one of these, and some devices were attached into my nose kinda like the handles to a dinner knife. They weren’t too good, but I assumed it was all a part of the “processing” – for it seemed the conveyer belt was there to process people. There were beings to the right side of the conveyer (and some to the left, but those ones weren’t doing anything) I didn’t look at any of these beings. But I reckoned were operating the whole process.

I came back to sitting on the stairs for a moment then – I sat with my family for a few seconds. The nuclear devices were close then I believe, because I woke up.

My eyes jumped open; my heart was pounding mildly…and before my eyes stood a giant big eyed teddie bear. We watched each other for a while, and then slowly it faded away. This giant teddie hand’t been in my dream, so it was odd to wake up facing it. After it faded I wondered if it was still there and it was just that I could no longer see it. I laid there thinking about the dream then. The whole processing on the conveyer and the big eye teddie seemed related somehow – but I didn’t like to think about that too much. So went into a half sleep instead…
