Squinting, Puffs, and Dream Breathing...

I am female. During the day, I practiced darkroom for 2.5 hours. Working on the lifesaver and lobster passes, the series for mashing intent (group 1), dreaming series, the center for decision series, being in the sky, and recapitulation. Around 1.5 to 2 hours were spent on tensegrity, and the remainder of the session on recapitulation. By the end, I was deep in the green zone.

After my session, I went to bed. Early in the morning, with my eyes open, I noticed one or two purple puffs floating just to my left in my field of vision. They were clearly defined. I watched as (in one of the puffs) someone who looked like my father drove a black car. Instinctively, I squinted my eyes and peered to the left, without moving my head… I found that I could change the dream’s vantage point, depending on the direction in which I squinted/peered. I practiced zooming in and zooming out, until I could read the car’s license plate. I concluded it was my dream and not remote viewing, since the car’s license plate number didn’t match my father’s.

Then a lightshow unfolded before me. Pink, blue, and yellow lines of light converged in a gridlocked, mosaic-like pattern. In front of this mosaic, a fuzzy ball of energy floated, drifting down and then rising back up again, as if trying to catch my attention. While I stared in silence, the mosaic and energy ball softened their saturation/hue to make themselves more pleasing to look at. During this time, my eyes were still open, although I saw my room as if it were daylight.  

Once it got my attention, my ally pulled me into a series of dreams. Each time, I saw the tendrils of energy pulling me in before I blanked out. Most of the dreams were uneventful and short, and I often lost lucidity right away. The only dream I found relevant was the last one, which lasted longer than the others. I was walking underwater with my ally, but could sense my breathing… it was shallow and measured, and I almost felt as if I were holding my breath. I understood that my ally was using the backdrop of the water to teach me how to breathe properly. The sense of being underwater prevented me from gasping, which prolonged the duration of the dream.

Note:

In the last dream, my ally appeared as a hermit crab. She was asking me questions about my life, such as where I wanted to live once I graduate college. Quite cute!

Darkroom lures the double out, and apparently in your case, it must have wanted to play more in the morning.

Of course, we wake up with our assemblage point moved from its normal position, and darkroom makes it likely you won't force it back as soon as you notice weirdness.

But as children, if we report something like waking up and seeing what you saw, our family quickly discourages us from talking like that.

Maybe I'll steal this for posting tomorrow, on other social media. If you don't object by then.

Gotta go home and see if I can get Cholita to "uncurse" me today.

She cursed me for not saying "you're welcome" loud enough after she thanked me for something.

And it literally dampened my darkroom practice that night.

How, I have no idea...

But she can just as easily boost it with her dark energy, if I please her.

It's very visible. Nothing vague about it.

Feel free to use the post…

I wonder if Cholita would respond well if you got her a gift as an apology/token of appreciation?

The last gift I got Cholita she turned into a dagger, placed it under my bed below my heart, pointing up, and then poured the contents of the drink item on my sheets, covering it over with the bedspread.

It could be that she's merely worried about her trip to Mexico the day after tomorrow.

No way to tell, she's gone back to hiding.

Last trip, she came back somewhat rational. Something moved her assemblage point closer to the middle.

You buy her a gift, she forges it into a knife and hides in your bed, then pours out voodoo on the sheets 😂😂

sorry I can’t help but crack up cause you’re just taking it in stride 😂😂

She does real magic for me!

What would you put up with, to get free demonstrations of magic no one can even believe?

She even kicks Jesus' butt.

He of course, would try to exorcise her.

It’s unlikely I’ll ever live with a real witch. I’m relegated to hearing about your adventures which are definitely a good read.

Awesome! Is this the dream you were talking about where your ally was teaching you how to breathe?

[-]
u/slav_owl 8 points 2025-08-13 02:28

Yeah. :) It could have been a coincidence. My ally isn’t very rational, and rarely explains anything. She’s more visual, so I have to connect the dots. It used to annoy me, but I’m rolling with it these days

Out of curiosity, what time were you practicing tensegrity? I get wiped out quickly when I practice at night, but if this was during the day, then maybe that is a better method for me

From around 9pm-12am. I get tired after about the first hour, and am having trouble doing full 3 hours.

Very cool!

Are you using the mask? Or do you have a enclosed box?

I use the Manta Pro mask during darkroom. It has made things more visually intense, I’ve noticed. I don’t use an enclosed box for recapitulation. I looked into it, but wasn’t sure how to build one.

I have the Justa blind sport mask. It's alright but I had to stuff some paper into the corners to get complete blackness.

I have the same mask
you don't need paper to cover the edges, you just have to fit it well to your head
the fabric band should go in
a little higher than the height of your ears

u/aum_sound 2 points 2025-08-13 17:04

That's a good tip, thanks.

You can buy some weather stripping to cover the gaps on your bathroom door and turn you bathroom into a make shift dark box. Just don't look into your mirror lol

There are plenty of YouTube videos about filling door gaps for silence and to remove incoming light. The good luck
