Disclaimer: This dream was a weird one. I don't expect to be able to explain any part of it nor do I understand the partial conclusion I have found at this time.
It was toward the end of a dream actually, in most of the dream I had this uncomfortable feeling of being watched. This manifest itself by rooms not fully lit. As I was walking in a hallway toward a room I was intending to go it, what I thought was my brother behind me made a move.
I know it wasn't my brother at that point, which I can explain. However, the move made was to come around me quickly from behind and kiss me. It was almost as if someone came up from behind you and gave you a really hard passionate kiss and then to their surprise they jump back and say "you're not my spouse!"
Anyway...
When that happened, a flurry of images flew into my head. So quickly and so numerously that I couldn't be able to account for a single one. It only took a second, but after that I was shown a rather peculiar image.
This image is best described as an animal's body with a human head on it. Behind the head is what could be described as one of the representations of a lotus flower. However it was one that was more square in appearance and design.
The word that entered my mind to describe the image was "Dragon". This is of course probably not what it actually was, but it gave me a clue to what it could be when I finally got on the computer this morning.
If you do an image search in google on "dragon" and "rerajahan", you will probably see the closest thing to what I saw. What you find looks more like a tiger with a human head, but again, it's the closest...
Closely tied to that is the concept of rerajahan. I didn't even know what that meant until I looked it up less than an hour ago, and in some ways I am still not totally convinced.
Regardless, rerajahan is some kind of balinese magic drawing. The purpose of such a drawing is to:
1. to get protection and magical power from the god that is drawn in the rerajahan for example the power to prevent rain
2. to purify the body and soul
3. to enhance the spiritual power of someone or something
4. to get a unique talent or power, for example ability to run fast or can not be seen
5. to get sympathy or admiration from other
6. to drive away pestilence, or bad luck
7. to protect the house compound, rice field, village or children
8. to prevent or negate physical or magical attack from the enemy
9. to harm or kill the enemy
Mind you some of those may not apply in this situation.
Anyway, the dream shocked me awake as in the upper right corner of my vision I see someone watching me. I have determined that when a person shows up in my vision like that, that they are 1) a spirit or non physical entity of some sort and 2) not really in my dreams, but choosing to show themselves there I've seen several instance of people looking at me in my dream state, so it's something that I have been analyzing. There has been an instance or two in coming out of a dream where I see a person that I think I see the person standing in the room. Albeit briefly.
So as I am coming out of the dream, I see sparkles, not a lot just a couple of sparkly lights right above me and the bed. They disappear quickly. I will state for the record, that I do not usually see sparkles in my vision.
Now, I don't subscribe to pretty much anything indian/hindu in nature. I personally don't have a great interest in it. As to why the imagery was the way it appeared, I really can't tell you. The only reason I think it's a rerajahan, is because of the brief internet search I did.
It's not perfect. It's a really sloppy research job, but it gives me a reference point from which I can compare against if I need it in the future. I don't expect to give this much more thought anytime soon.
The only questions that remain about the dream are:
1) who is the guy that gave me that image? I don't know him.
2) what was the point of the flurry of images?
3) why that image?
Any other question I can answer, I just can't explain it. Maybe that's the point? No, there's no lesson to be learned here. If anything it's a sign. But it's not a sign of warning. It's a sign to remind me of something. I have a fairly good memory, so if it's something I've forgot, I find it very unlikely. However, if it's something I will need at a later date, then I guess I get to carry it with me.
Until such time as its needed.
