In order to assure random selection, Bob Van de Castle gathered sixteen pictures for the target pool, four different pictures in each of four different categories, A,B,C,D and placed them in sealed envelopes. On Sunday evening all interested contestants met in the Commons at Sonoma State University and met the sender, Jodine (Jody) Grundy. Each of the four groups of pictures was shuffled by the sender with one envelope selected from each group (A,B,C,D). From this final pool of four envelopes, Jody selected one as her target for the evening and morning and telepathically sent that image in various sensory modes touching as many aspects of the target as possible to send to dreamers, onsite and online.
Yesterday we posted the onsite winners and here are the online results:
First place: Sao, the only dreamer who selected #4 correctly within the deadline, detailing in his dream, most underlining ours:
... I saw four objects hovering around a central sphere, the sphere was bright, dark blue and was like a bubble of some kind of irregular resinous material, a heavier 'wad' of it at the bottom, semi-translucent, (everything in the dream seemed to be semi-translucent, including the swamp itself which seemed to be lit from below). The sphere reminded me of the old 'toy' which I used to get sometimes as a kid which was basically a big straw with some plasticy goo that you would stick on the end and blow up into big swirly-colored bubbles. These four objects kept floating down (?) into the plane of the sphere and 'dancing' around it. They appeared to be a cross between an onion and a goldfish--their tops were organic, bulbous shapes, looking more than anything like the bulbs of green onions, and at their bases were almost transparent, iridescent 'fins,' the 'ribs' of which changed colors, pulsing through the colors of the rainbow. Each had four of these fins and they were arranged like 'organic propellors,' (but they didn't spin independently of the little entities). The entities, which I somehow knew were called "sandovers" ((?) pronounced like a combination of the words 'sand' and 'over') and kept thinking of as 'fairies,' all moved in unison, rotating on their vertical axis back and forth in irregular patterns and also moving up and down vertically. They would disappear upward and then come back down, dancing around the sphere over and over. Something was going on here that is difficult to describe: something or someone was initiating or initializing these little constellations of objects over and over, trying to 'get it right,' and it was clear they 'represented' something ...conceptual... but I couldn't grasp exactly what."
"What" was balloons, and while his main sphere was blue, later he mentions the colors of the rainbow. The image he sent is very "balloon-like", and he chose the right picture.
Second place: Ilkin also correctly guessed #4, "No dream image, feeling, flying, floating, colors, etc." (She was afraid she was late in submitting which she did at 6:15 am on 7/3/07, but as Richard said, this is not a scientific study and we were pleased that she was able to join in the contest.)
Consolation prize: Second-guessing Caroldedreamer eventually saw the match with her dream and #4, but she had selected #2 because of the "cat in the moon."
'ps...at 1:30am EDT I looked out my window to see the moon with 3 long strips of light coming from either side...there was something very symbolic to this and I just remembered to put it in in a ps...so look was round ball of moon and then to best explain looked like cat whiskers on a face 3 on each side...to make a total of 6...have never seen this formation of light from the moon...moved to see if it was a reflection in the window but it wasn't it was the light from the moon...'
In general, there were many of you who dreamt of yellow or yellowish colors which are indeed present in all of the pictures by the luck of the draw from the pool of 16:Al, Juhani, Laura, tinebluebird, for instance.
And this was a real reflection on how this new system of trying to provide lots of pictures can get stuck if there is a larger field that is not controlled. Almost like the telepathy forces saying, Ha ha!" while the sender chooses only pictures that are as intended meant to be different in several ways, showing up with like colors, structures, etc. Almost this time as if "Let's do yellow!" was a message from those dream guides and guardians, beyond the thoughts of anyone, for yellow is what showed up in many dreams.
Janet C dreamt of L or V shapes which clearly can be seen in the most completely visible balloon, as well as of big arms that are hairy, and a raccoon's "hands" (paws) with fingers downward, (the jungle cat?)which others tuned into, Goshengolly with "the largest hands of any man I'd met, and a light tan leather coat".
Other commonalities which you are doing a fine job of listing, struck me as more than average in normal dreams: Olivia dreamt of orange and an office, Al also dreamt of an office,as did tinebluebird.
There were also a number of transportation vehicles--trains/trams/taxis/trucks and cars. Not everyone floated in the area, but you did a lot of traveling, and seemed to have tuned into each other in the night.
Thank you so much for participating, but keep looking for connections. I will try to post some of the dreams of the onsite winners, though that takes a lot of typing, since they were all handwritten when submitted on site, but they will appear in part, anyway.
One last sweet note of a precog hit: tinebluebird dreamt of a woman holding "an open, big round box of chocolates. ..I take a 'swiss one' one." A man, not a woman, Art Funkhouser brought from Switzerland an assortment of fine chocolates which were shared with others one evening in a chocolate-tasting gathering.
Sweet dreams to all , and look for more details of the onsite winners to appear HERE on the IASD Bulletin Board....Rita and Bob
