I just wrote to a friend, recapping some of my past year’s amazing experiences:

I also undertook a huge project with five apprentices who all lived in various places in the states. We meditated together every day, did healings, and recorded our dreams on a blog site I’d created for us called “The Dream of the Dolphin” — and we were the pod. Some of us made dream collages, and all did shamanic poetry. The experiences were extraordinary–especially around the premonitions of the Japanese tsunami. I am writing a book about that now.

Writing that got me recalling the many truly amazing experiences I had during that very intense time. One was a dream I described into my my digital recorder and posted on “Pod Blog” that morning:

05-18-11 Dream 6.04 am

I had fallen back to sleep and . . . . I just had this shower-burst of light bursting through my head. The most radiant light. It was part of the dream and I experienced it in my physical body [in actuality] and it was incredible. . . . it was just this beautiful bursting of light. My head [as I talked on the recorder] feels full of it. The afterglow of it.

Trying to capture the feeling of the dream, I quickly made this collage:

Later I re-immersed in that my dream and spent many glorious hours making the “Bliss” collage above.

Just looking at them brings that powerful burst of light back to me. It was a truly awesome experience.
