Hello, I recently starting keeping a journal beside my bed at night to write down ideas (I'm an aspiring fiction writer), because I find the best Ideas come to me in the middle of the night when my son wakes up, or in the morning... anyway, the first night I started keeping a journal beside my bed, I had the clearest, most memorable dream I've had in a VERY long time.

I was with my wife, and several other people, but I can't picture or remember who they were, in the dream they were friends, but I never got a direct look at them.. they were just sort of peripherals in our "group".. anyway. We were at the beach, the weather was clear, but it was getting kind of cold because it was dusk. The sky was still blue, but the sun was setting. There was a shack on the beach with 2 lines of people, probably 30-40 people deep in each line. We waited in line and discovered that the wait was to have your aura read and interpreted. Fast forward to me at the front of the line, in front of this girl, probably somewhere around 13, 14, 15. She was dressed in white and purple dress that you might find on a young girl in the 60's or something. She had a bow in her hair (She was dressed kind of like those twin girls from "The Shining", but it was purple, not blue.). Her sister was dressed the same way. These were sisters. They looked very similar, they might have been twins. Anyway, they had long, dark hair, and their eyes were completely black except for a very technological element inside them that is quite hard to describe... the black eyes had 2 concentric rings in them that ran around the outer rim of the eyeball... not full rings, like 3/4 rings. The outer ring was green, the inner ring was like a red/orange... and from what I remember, the rings were moving in opposite directions at random times... like the girl was processing information or processing input much like a machine would, or when your computer shows the icon to let you know it's busy processing information. It led me to believe these were either eye implants, or these girls are machines, demons, aliens, or something... It was ambiguous. They had pale skin... It SHOULD have been quite frightening, but it wasn't at all. The overtone was not frightening, demonic, or negative at all. Anyway, the next thing I remember, the sister I was in front of told me my aura was - verbatim - "Violet. Violet. TOO Violet." and she had said something else afterward about fixing my aura that I can't remember verbatim, but it was about getting a book, and something about Australia. This remark about the book and Australia was the only point in the dream I could actually HEAR what the girl's voice sounded like. She had an accent that I think was Australian. The next thing I remember, my wife had either told me, or I overheard her being told by the other sister that her aura was "Cerulean Blue, with 2 spots in it." She had indicated that having 1 spot in it is good, but having 2 spots is bad, and it indicates something called " Bulk Sorrow". So the next thing I remember, I was feeling skeptical that this whole thing was a scam, so I go back and get in the OTHER line to have my aura read by the other sister. I get to the front of the line, and she seemed very lazy and uninterested in reading me, almost like she knew I had been there before or something. Casually, she said my aura was "Dark, dark blue, almost black."

I don't remember much after that, but when I woke up, I wrote it all down and then I started reading up on auras, as I knew NOTHING about them at ALL. To be candid, I've never been a strong believer in auras or metaphysical things like that, although I TRY to keep an open mind about that stuff and entertain the idea they might exist, that sort of thing. Violet is the wisest and most sensitive of all the auras, and those who possess a violet aura have a strong ability to translate thoughts into reality, and it mentioned something about some type of clairvoyance. The governing chakra of violet auras is the 3rd eye, which I've always been very interested in. The strangest part came when my wife woke up and said her throat hurt. She had clearly swollen glands in her throat. Her throat NEVER hurts. I looked up her aura from the dream (Blue) and it said the governing chakra was the one in the throat.

Now, I've been to Australia several times, LOVED it, used to live in California, so the beach is a pretty predictable setting. The girls I remember from a trailer for Paranormal Activity 5 that's out right now... but the mechanical eyes and the aura stuff are really freaking me out. I also Any thoughts?

Darryn,
My sense the dream is focused on creative aspects. Are you having or do you spells where being creative is difficult? You may be trying too hard. The dream does point to deep intuitive aspects which may indicate you are capable of accessing these important qualities. Your journeling may be a part of this creative aspect. There does seem to be a reluctance or an inability to completely access these qualities and that may be due o the fact you have yet to accept the metaphysical possibilities {the power of the feminine psyche}. It may be you have the right ideas in your mind but have yet to be able to express them {swollen glands in wife's throat}.

As for some of the symbols and their applications. The auras would be the chakra energies that you are accessing when you attempt to broaden your metaphysical self {metaphysical being the natural aspects beyond the norm, aspects we all possess but seldom use because they are no longer needed for survival}. The purple chakra is the higher self, creative/spiritual. The blue chakra is at the throat, vocalization/expression. There is not a black but in dreams it is the deep unconscious. The twin sisters would be the harmonizing of but also conflicting feminine aspects {which are creativity and spirituality evolve from}. The Australian accent probably is due to personal experiences and used because you identify with some aspect of the country, language or culture.

About the twins and two readings. One is the inner self, the violet/purple chakra of the higher self. Creative expression {one spot in the blue chakra} is desirable but if there is an inability to express yourself {two spots} then there are reasons for it that need to be understood. The second twin would the conflict because of your skepticism, not of the metaphysical properties themselves but of yourself {the ability or inability to properly express your creative self}. The lazy twin is the conscious self, possibly not given your all to your creative desires and instead letting society have too much control in your life. In Buddhism, the spiritual psychology that best explains these things, the things that hold us back from wholeness and achieving our creative goals is fear desire and social duty. In mythology it is social duty, giving to the 'machine', that prevents wholeness {wholeness by realizing and utilizing the creative aspects}. The second twin is pointing to a 'deep' desire to be able to express yourself {blue} but that aspect has yet to be achieved {an inability to access the deep unconscious mind/black}. It may be you are trying too hard or expecting too much too soon.

The third eye is seeing beyond the norm and accessing the deeper aspects of the psyche {creative/spiritual}. As for your wife's throat being swollen. Your energies may have cast itself off onto her. Not a common thing but not so uncommon either.

I wasn't expecting something that concise, but it is very very helpful. Thank you. To be further candid, I got this journal and started keeping it beside my bed bed partially because I HAVE been struggling with.. not necessarily creativity DIRECTLY, but procrastination, finishing what I start, following things though... and because of those things, the creativity doesn't flow like I KNOW it can. It feels stifled or... You know what it feels like, it feels like I can grab onto a healthy, rich piece of it and work with it for a short time, then it just disappears like a firecracker before I'm ready to be finished with it for the day or when I know I can do a lot more. So I have all these half-written stories and story outlines that just end up sitting there... I'm always buzzing and bursting with ideas all the time, REALLY REALLY good ones, but I feel very inhibited because I don't know what to do with them or maybe... after this, after what you said and what other people have said... maybe I AM, for some reason, actually fighting against it, not tapping into it the right way, for some hidden reason. Sometimes I DO think I try too hard and try to force things to come about inorganically, and it just doesn't work, which gets me frustrated, which leads me to believe people won't like it... I do take criticism and rejection kind of personally because I feel like such a perfectionist. To be rejected and be passed by when you tried so hard and put so much into something has always been a big downer for me.
So there are a lot of factors at work, I suppose. I always ask my friends and other people what they think and how I should proceed when I have an idea, because, (this is me bearing my heart), it's really a thinly veiled attempt at asking for help, or asking for a "blessing" to proceed, or asking for acceptance, to boost my confidence. I think I lack the confidence to do it on my own, by me and for me, even though I know deep in my mind and in my heart I can do it, I just don't know how yet.

So I absolutely knew, when it happened, that this dream meant something profound, and from this, and from what other people have said... that's definitely the case. You and these other people don't know me, and yet you could extrapolate what was going on in my head. I was, without a doubt, getting a message.

Darryn,
You may want to examine the need for at asking for help, or asking for a "blessing" to proceed, or asking for acceptance, to boost my confidence. There are likely unconscious forces that began in early life that have caused you to be this type personality. If you learn to better understand those influences/experiences it may help resolve the lack of confidence.
