#mysticalexperiences

when i was a kid, a purple snake-like dragony thing appeared to me in a dream a few different times. it had iridescent purple scales and wings that shimmered, never quite the same twice. it moved like it was swimming, not flying, the way sea creatures do.

i called her undine. i’d found the name in a mythology book and learned it belonged to some kind of water spirit, which felt right. the dragon swam through space the way a sea monster swims through water. i was about twelve and extremely confident about this logic.

undine told me my aura was a deep, velvety dark purple. 💜

sometimes i think about her now when i write aura analyses for clients. mostly these days i work alongside other spirit practitioners, but undine still feels like the first time something metaphysical spoke directly to me, in my own language, before i knew how to name any of it.

I had at least two dreams last night. In the first dream, which was a bit vague, I was standing somewhere, and abundance was falling, flowing down on top of me. I don’t know for sure if it was in the form of money or other things, but I felt joyful, with a deep sense of gratitude and love. Then, in another dream, I was in a house, and the first thing I remember seeing was the tail of a very long rattlesnake underneath a door. The tail looked like a string of beads with a strand of tied twine at the end. My instinct was to figure out how to capture it before it escaped. At one point, I saw the snake as being very large. I left the first room when its tail disappeared under the door.

I have been recording dreams for about a year and a half now. I have often talked about hearing bells and being woken up by the sound of bells quite often. As I was transcribing my dreams into word documents for my blog, I decided to look up “bells” in the bible. This particular scripture stood out to me:

Aaron must wear it when he ministers. The sound of the bells will be heard when he enters the Holy Place before the LORD and when he comes out so that he will not die. Exodus 28:35 NIV

Because I often awake around 3 am I decided to look up the number three in Hebrew. The number three biblically represents divine wholeness, completeness, and perfection. If there ever was a desire to highlight an idea, thought, event, or noteworthy figure in the Bible for their prominence, the number three was used to put a divine stamp of completion or fulfillment on the subject.
