Dream: Martial Arts Expo

I dreamt I was in a long, dimly lit, yellow hallway. I think there was some kind of martial artists’ exposition going on. Every fighting expert had his own space. There were no many visitors; perhaps I was the only one interested.

I came closer to one of the ninjas (A feudal Japanese group of spies and assassins). He was in black, with his full armament, face covered. His body was suspended in the air, head down and there were no strings attached – he was levitating for real. There were two another people fighting with swords. They were moving extremely fast. I could also see two Greco-Roman wrestlers throwing each other alternately in the ring. I had that feeling I was in a 3D computer game. Colors, sounds, speed were very similar.

Experiment: Locked Up

I encountered this kind of experiment in one Chinese movie. Perhaps, it was called "Fist Of The Red Dragon". In that movie father locked his son in a blind room so he can overcome his addiction to the cocaine. The son spent a week seeing no light no food, just living on water, I guess.

I asked my friend to do the same experiment with me. I had no addictions to overcome, but I just wanted to get that feeling of being locked up. I felt that would help me to eliminate any distractions that I would encounter during the day so I could concentrate solely on my self-development. I took some water for drinking and a bowel for urine. I asked my friend to lock me up for 36 hours and do not let me out even if I asked. I knew nothing serious could happen during this period to me. In case of the emergency, I could use my window.

I spent about my first 5 hours in my room meditating, reading Yoga philosophy and thinking. Of course, hunger would kick in, but it would disappear after an hour or so. I kept on observing my mind how jumpy it was. I would think do that and that, but after a few moments I would realize that I am locked up and cannot do much about it. After approximately two hours, my mind would settle down, I would experience moments of bliss and peace taking me over. My mind had lost its inert qualities and impulsiveness. I felt I was more centered, calm and happy.

When 36 hours had expired and my friend came to unlock me, I remember I did not want to leave my room and involve myself into the worldly activities again. I repeated this experiment the next weekend and probably five more times.

Vision: Known and yet Unknown Faces

I was in my room. There was a multiple mirror in front of me. I could see my face in it. It was changed. I could hardly recognize myself. Long hair, mean look, maybe it was a face form one of my previous lives.

After a moment, I could see another faces looking at me in that mirror. They were mostly of the Japanese or Chinese origin. The mirror had three sections, so I could see three different faces looking at me at the same time. After a few seconds, yet another group of faces would appear to me. They all looked to me as modern warriors; they all had that courageous look on their faces. I felt they were friends to me once, maybe in my previous life.
