Astral Projection

 I find it disdainful to read the garbage of pretend to know it all authors regarding the subject of astral projection. 

Just today I found this article on Oprah Daily.

Mismatched Shoes

 Last night was a long night for me. I stayed up quite late listening to music and having beer. Why not? After all, music sounds better with beer. So that's what I did.

At some point I went to bed to lay down and I fell asleep. I don't remember much other than I woke up around four-thirty in the afternoon. I got up and went out for some food. For a while I couldn't decide what to go for. I thought about fish and chips. There's a place out in east Oakland where I can get that. I thought about it but decided that it was too far. I also thought about a Reuben sandwich with fries but decided against it because the place where I can get the sandwich is also too far. In fact, it's at the same location as the fish and chips location.

 

So after pondering it for a while I decided to go to a local establishment that specializes in sausages. It's a place with its roots in Berkeley, CA, USA. Its original spot is still there. Just a block down Telegraph Ave from UC Berkeley. It now has a spot on Lakeshore Ave in Oakland, CA, USA. I went there and ordered a top dog and a bockwurst.

I just knew that the two sausages weren't going to be enough so I immediately set plans for pizza. I decided to take a long drive to Berkeley. There's a pizzeria that has been there for many decades. It used to have a competitor down the street, Fat Slice. But Fat Slice closed a couple of years ago. So now it's just Blondie's. I got there and ordered a pepperoni.

As I sat there and ate my pizza slice I was still feeling a slight hang-over from the night before, so I decided to walk down the street to another long time establishment. It's a local pub with a good beer list.

I arrived and took a seat at the bar. I ordered a beer and enjoyed the ambiance. I ordered a second one and then a third. Half way through my third one I looked down and saw my shoes. I realized I had put on mismatched shoes. WTF!? It must've been a long night, huh?

For a moment I felt stupid. Then I saw the silliness in it. Hey, shit happens. I just sat there in complete amusement. Wow! I've never did that before. Sure I have mismatched my socks a couple of times before. But the shoes? 

I'm still laughing.

I had to tell the bartender. At one moment when she came to me I said "I'm gonna have to go home. Do you know what I did?" 

"What did you do," she asked.

I showed her. "I have two different shoes on."

We both got a laugh out of it.

After finishing my beer I got up and left the place. I'm just glad that it was night time, rainy, and not many people were out. As far as I was concerned, as long as I got home soon no one would ever know. Except the bartender and you reading this post.

As I sat there, this beautiful piece was being played. Enjoy it. It's so soothing and relaxing. So dreamy.

And if you have been reading my posts you'll know that I'm very much into the dream world. The dream world is not just a dream. It's another reality. I played this masterpiece over and over as I typed this post. Listen to it as you read my posts. Specially my posts about my astral travels and my dreams.

Meeting People (In Dreams)

 I have had many normal dreams. Including normal nightmares. They date back to my childhood, as far back as I can remember. These dreams are, well, quite normal. I dream about daily activities, I dream about people I know, I dream about places I've been to. Sometimes I dream about events or places that are frightening, we call these nightmares. But at the end of the night they are just dreams, be they good or bad.

But sometimes I have unique dreams. I call them unique because when I return to the vigil state I'm not certain if I simply dreamed an event or was actually there. I posted about one such event on August 19, 2022 (I Want to be Latino Again). On that event I can firmly remember waking up from my sleep and can recall having that conversation.

A few weeks ago I had another dream.

I was out and about. Meaning I was just out for a night in the town. Meaning, I was just out having a good time. I entered some restaurants. I don't recall actually sitting down and dining. But do remember visiting some restaurants. At least two.

It was night time. I was looking for my way back home. I wasn't driving. I had to take the bus back home. I found myself at a bus stop. I was waiting for the bus. There I met three people. They were, tall, white, blond, Nordic looking people. Two men and a woman. We engaged in a short impromptu conversation. I don't remember which came first, either they asked me, or I asked them. But the questions asked were:

 First question:

Them: Is there anything you have against the Catholic institution?

Me: Yes, it bothers me that the Catholic institution wouldn't allow the public to believe whatever they wanted to believe. If someone doesn't believe Catholicism, they shouldn't be forced to believe Catholicism.

This was in reference to the Spanish Inquisition.

Second question:

Me: Where are you from?

Them: We're from the monastery ______ . 

I left the monastery's name blank because I really don't remember the name. What I do remember is that it had a German, or northern European name. But it was not English. I know English quite well, I would have remembered it. It was a northern European language.

When I woke up, the conversation with those three people really stood out. It really did seem as if I really had that short conversation with those three Nordic looking people.
