Earthquake Dream: Symbolic or Pre-Cognition?

Last night, I had a strange earthquake dream. I was dreaming that I was on one of the highest floors of a high rise building (about the 40th floor thereabouts). I was working out, but standing still for the moment with one leg up on a step and the other leg down on an elliptical trainer. I looked out the large plate glass window at the city below me when suddenly I felt the building begin to sway. Over the next 30 seconds, I felt the building swaying more and more to the point where I had to hold on to the trainer to keep from falling off. It was like I was holding onto a car or a gondola on an amusement park ride to keep from falling off. I felt the oscillating mass and weight shift, back and forth. If this was a quake, I thought, then it is a large one. In the next few seconds, it woke me up. I actually thought that we were having a real earthquake in Los Angeles. I looked at the clock, 4:13 a.m. When I awoke, everything was instantly still and quiet as I lay in bed, but I became keenly aware that my dream had affected my balance and sense of equilibrium. I felt it in my dream state. Never had that happened to me before.

Preakness 2009 Dreams?

On my May 10 post, I saw a "black beetle"-like dome, pressing down to the earth. The shell was covered with black chitin, pressing down and pushing out the dirt. The photo of "Tone It Down" is deep dirt brown with a very black tail and mane. The pedigree of "Tone It Down" is Chattin, like "chitin."

On my May 12 post, I saw a very small almost HDTV screen, almost like a movie, but had the aspect ratio of a television screen, in my head surrounded by blackness. There was a "tabletop" and on it were black, looked like puppies crawling on the table, one in particular. The screen (drama), table and the blackness were the central forces of the dream. "General Quarters" is black, but he does have a white diamond pattern, a star, on his forehead. His pedigree is "Sky Mesa" (which is a tabletop) and "Pulpit Caress" (which is like caressing puppies). And elevated.

So my Preakness 2009 picks are: #1 General Quarters; #2 Tone It Down; #3 Rachel Alexandra; #4 Papa Clem. Not a clue, if this works, but it is fun.

This morning when I awoke, after going back to bed from only having two hours sleep the night before, I closed my eyes and had a vision. My mind was filled with blackness, except for a most defined screen in the center, it was like a small movie screen with high definition. I was watching a movie. It was a long table with black puppies, or animals like small, three-day old to one week old puppies crawling across the tabletop. Don't have a clue what it means, except something like this has never happened to me before. It follows in the wake of other visual events over the last month.

Tonight, after a stressful conversation with a friend, Judy worked at the computer for about 15 minutes, and I sat on the couch, eyes closed, trying to get into a relaxed state after my phone call. While there, I felt a hand or the soft pads of someone's closed fingers pressing gently, but firmly against my forehead. At first, I thought that it was the nerves or a neurological region of my body reacting to something, but then it felt more like a pressure of comfort, the presence of someone. I remained calm, eyes closed, and let the feeling and pressing presence continue for about two to three minutes. It was a spirit presence, my guardian angel, a guide; I felt compassion. It felt like I was touched, exactly like the skin-to-skin feeling that I had on my r. achilles heal two nights before, only this was a claming touch on my third eye.

Tonight I was working on the computer, I leaned over and felt something touch the back of right achilles tendon and ankle. As if someone was pressing their hand upon it for about five seconds, or something had fallen on it and was lying against it. I looked down expecting to see some object on the floor or lying across the chair leg, but there was nothing.

 Judy and I went to see Jose Arguelles speak and sign books at The Bodhi Tree in West Los Angeles.  At one point, when he spoke, he teared up as he prayed. He scanned the crowd looking at each person’s energy. During that two minutes, there was a sacred "comfortable" silence in the air of the small, intimate room, like a group of cloistered friends who shared an event as it unfolded by the second. I saw Jose Arguelles' aura. It was a Christ-like aura that extended out non-uniformly  nearly two feet from his head. almost identical to the sun's corona during a solar eclipse. It was profound. I saw his aura radiating three times for about 15- 30 seconds each time during his talk. Over the last two years, if the conditions are right, the background, atmosphere, etc. I have learned to see people's auras. If I let go and surrender.

At 5:45 am, I had a dream. I was in that in-between Twilight Zone. The dream was a flash. I saw, no felt, my being changed. I was still  who I am, but with an additional being merging into  and with me. I was and felt bird, a charred or dark bird. It was fleeting, dark, and strangely possessive. Then, the Kentucky Derby popped into my head. That was seven and a half hours before the Kentucky Derby.  At 7:43 a.m. ( 2 hours after my dream) I went to the computer and changed my picks: #1 Mine That Bird, #2 Papa Clem. #3 Friesan Fire. #4 Dunkirk. 

By 3:30 p.m. later that same day (7 hours after my dream) Mine That Bird won and Papa Clem placed 4th in the 2009 Kentucky Derby.

The night before, Friday May 1, my best friend Michael Lydon posted this on Facebook: “The Kentucky Derby is only a few hours away. I was lucky enough to pick the winner on Friday of the Kentucky Oaks; however, the Derby has 20 horses and there are no clear favorite’s. I think I will pick : Friesan Fire; Dunkirk; General Quarters; and Pioneer of the Niles !!” (Michael Lydon, 8:49 pm May 1st).

At 9:09 pm on May 1st, I commented: #1 Papa Clem, #2 Friesan Fire, #3 I Want Revenge, #4 Dunkirk (John M. Weiskopf, 9:09 pm May 1)

The next morning May 2 (Kentucky Derby Day) at 6:49 am, Michael Lydon said this: “I want Revenge was the favorite, but it was just scratched from the ran this morning due to an injury. It should be raining part of the day and Friesan Fire is a good mudder, so you might want to go with my first choice. Your buddy Mike” (Michael Lydon 6:49 am May 2)

At 7:43 am on May 2 (Kentucky Derby Day), on Facebook I commented in response: “Mike, I saw something Shamanic this morning… tell you later) Revised: #1 Mine That Bird, #2 Papa Clem. #3 Friesan Fire. #4 Dunkirk… we’ll see. Your Buddy.” (John M. Weiskopf, 7:43 am May 2)

May 10, 2009: 

This morning while I lay in bed, in that in-between Twilight Zone, I had a dream. It was more of a feeling, a sense not in my being as an extraneous additive to it, but that it had altered my being and consciousness, changed who I was temporarily for only a few seconds, like the one that I had the morning of the Kentucky Derby, May 2, 2009. 

I felt a very dark, almost black dome-shaped form, made of chitin or the covering of a black beetle. It was definitely the feel of an insect. I felt it at eye level, and it was slowing pressing down upon the ground. There was dirt being squeezed out from the bottom of dome that was slowly lowering to the ground. I felt insect, dirt, dome, curvature.
