LUCID DREAM

Much of Book 2 Going Forth by Day is the result of one or more of the characters dreaming a "controlled" or LUCID dream. My definition of this is a catchall for experiences which presented themselves as past lives, astral projection, time manipulation and travel, channeling, remote viewing and generic trances. The Children of Stone Series was born out of notes and pictures created from scenes and images of a group of godlike people in the ancient world. Were they past lives? I'll never know for sure...but they were SOMETHING.

So one of the major gifts the Children of Stone give is the ability to LITERALLY walk into another person's life as a silent witness...able to see, but not allowed to cause influence. This happened in the mid 1990's

I'm in a quiet place, resting. Something wakes me. I get up and realize the bed I left is not my warm waterbed, but a lashed cane bed with a pale coverlet and a padded thing at the head. I'm female and I have curly shoulder length hair. My skin is a darker olive color. I'm naked, but I quickly grab a patterned shawl and wrap it around my hips. A full moon creates light in a room. Other people are sleeping there. I can hear them breathing. Someone wakes...another woman. She whispers a name but it's not "Mary". It sounds more like "Eyarri"
I turn, hoping the person will speak again. I'm waking up. Now I see my self walking on a wall. The sky and earth are red. A crowd is cheering and screaming "Marai, Marai!" I'm walking behind a big man wearing what looks like chrome or silver armor that matches his hair. I hear the name the woman spoke fade into Yarthinnu, or Eyarianu. I blink. I'm in my own bedroom.
I know the name now. My SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism) name was Yaraddin or YAR...
FUNNY HOW THESE THINGS HAPPEN
