Dreams: The invisible stairs

It has been a lazy week for me. I have been sleeping so much. Of course I have had a cold and stuff like that. A few weeks ago I had such a burst of energy and really explored and discovered a lot. Now I am having some down time. That is the flow of life, sometimes fast - sometimes slow. During this time I have had a lot of vivid dreams.

My most recent dream: "The invisible stairs"
Some tall escorts or guides appeared and took me to a white staircase. I climbed up that staircase that I could easily see. Then the guides revealed to me a secret and invisible staircase on the right. I didn't even know it was there! My eyes couldn't even see it or comprehend it but it was there. A huge cliff and a deep dark pit were waiting below. The invisible stairs went up over the pit and to a new level in the sky. I was escorted by the guides who took me peacefully up the invisible stairs. It was not scary even though we seemed to be walking in mid air over that dark pit. Then we suddenly emerged through a field of stars like walking into another world. In that world were many rooms, classes, dorms, other students and a bakery with delicious bread and pastries everywhere. I woke up thinking about that bread and the invisible stairs.

My dreams have always been vivid, colorful and sometimes prophetic of future experiences. They reveal a lot if I just pay attention. Sometimes in the moment the dream seems to be irrelevant so I dismiss it. Then days or years later I have the experience that was foreseen in the dream. It is bizarre sometimes. If I don't write down a dream I usually forget the details by the time the real future experience comes. Now I keep a small dream journal by my futon when I sleep. Any thing I remember I write down because I never know what meaning it may have for present or future times.

I believe dreams are a way to process life, communicate with higher guides and angels, bridge the gap between the conscious/subconscious mind, and help prepare for the future. For me, it also seems that there is learning that takes place during dream time. Perhaps the soul can fly at night and experience many things. My dreams are often about some higher education or learning experience. Alot of the times I feel like I don't have a clue. I assume that some part of me is able to assimilate this dream/soul knowledge into my waking life.

I am sure there will be more dreams to come.

Ideas

This has been a productive week for me!
I felt inspired and found a lot of ways to share and promote my artwork online. My membership for the Society for art of imagination was finally mailed out. I will be an official member soon with a listing on their website which includes artists like Alex Grey and other visionaries. Now my first blog has been started. I plan to sell my visionary art products (T-shirts, posters, mugs...) online through Cafe Press.

Art Books: For years now my intuition/angels has been urging me to create a series of books. It feels like an important soul destiny thing that I can't ignore or forget. So I will be creating the books as an inspiration to many souls around the world. I have ideas for children's books, artist instruction books, sacred art meditation books with music CD. I am concidering publishing through Lulu and other publishing companies.

Google Alerts: I signed up for a service that notifies me whenever topics about visionary spiritual art are listed on the web. That way I am up to date and informed on this topic. * You can sign up through Google and choose your own key topics. Then Google will send you an email when new info is posted anywhere on the web.

I forgot how to play.

After working in the graphic design field, I found that I had become very serious about my art and had forgotten how to play. My designs were regulated to creating animal exhibit signs for the City of Dallas Zoo. While I enjoyed it, I knew that it was not my life purpose and I felt a calling to help people in a more positive and creative way. Then in 1998, I began having mystical experiences that I could not explain or understand. An angelic presence appeared several times to deliver a message to me. At first I dismissed the visions but eventually realized there validity.

The angel messenger guided me to create art that would remind people of their own inner greatness and angelic guidance. At the time, I had no idea what this meant. But I began to practice by creating art for my friends. At first I felt very stiff and wanted to recapture the freedom of expression that I knew as a child. I even blew bubbles, played jax, practiced meditation and other activities to reawaken my ability to imagine and play. To my surprise my senses and intuition also expanded and assisted me with my artwork. After several months I began to draw Soul Portraits, visionary art and commissions. My work continues to expand and change as I grow internally. It is fabulous to see many people connecting with the art and being inspired in their own lives.
