2010.04.30 19:00 - Alive in Steve's Imaginarium

The Guardian for this meeting was Eliza Madrigal. The comments are by Eliza, joined by Sharon, Lucinda, Eos, Steve, and Wol!

:) This morning's session topic spilled a little into this one, yet it was very much a space of its own.

Eliza Madrigal waves to Sharon :)
Eliza Madrigal yells :::Ahoy there:::::

Eliza Madrigal: Thank you, yes... much stronger today!
Eliza Madrigal: just a little bit of sludge left ;-D
Eliza Madrigal: And you Eos, are you caught up with things at home?
Eliza Madrigal: (OH, wow... dress is really pretty when you stand Sharon :)
Eos Amaterasu: Yes, the 10,000 things
Eliza Madrigal: hehehe
Eos Amaterasu: but they all happen within Being, don't they
SophiaSharon Larnia: thanks have to relog brb
Eliza Madrigal smiles
Eliza Madrigal considers all the happenings
Eos Amaterasu: wb, SS
Eliza Madrigal: WB Sharon, still the same issues from this morning?
SophiaSharon Larnia: im not sure, it looks better, lots of lag from where i was before i came here, i guess
Eliza Madrigal: Ah

--BELL--

Eos Amaterasu hasn't been the same since he started upgrading viewers
Lucinda Lavender: same for me..
Eliza Madrigal: Your av is aging backwards, Eos
SophiaSharon Larnia: :)
Eos Amaterasu: ahem.... need to pay some attention to that
Eos Amaterasu: I'm trying to find myself :-)
Eliza Madrigal: :)
SophiaSharon Larnia: doesnt think the appearance of an avi here means anything, really
Eliza Madrigal: :) yes, just some fun
Eos Amaterasu: "the country music station plays soft but there's nothing really nothing to turn off"
Eliza Madrigal: I think for some it can... can be a way of displaying an inner quality, etc
SophiaSharon Larnia: yes, the interests of the typist
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Lucinda Lavender: I am curious ...do you hear music?
Eos Amaterasu: yes.... people can grow from their inside out
Eliza Madrigal: I don't think we have streaming here... perhaps at some of the village spots
Eos Amaterasu: I hear birds

Sharon brings up the morning's session, in which we talked about dreams and patterns and reflections ...

SophiaSharon Larnia: what we talked about this morning really stayed with me today
Eos Amaterasu: maybe crickets
Lucinda Lavender: yes!
Eliza Madrigal: Oh, Sharon? the shared dreaming, or?
Eliza Madrigal: It was indeed an inspiring session
SophiaSharon Larnia: well, your comment about Narcissus in the log :)
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Lucinda Lavender: Yes so fitting
SophiaSharon Larnia: of course I knew the story but for some reason, re-hearing something can inspire you in different ways

Eliza Madrigal: Hey, Steve :)
stevenaia Michinaga: hello
SophiaSharon Larnia: hi Steve

Eos Amaterasu: http://playasbeing.wik.is/Chat_Logs/2010/04/2010.04.30_07%3a00_-_Sky_Diamonds

Eliza Madrigal grins @ Eos
Eos Amaterasu: Eliza in the Sky with Diamonds?
SophiaSharon Larnia: smiles
Eliza Madrigal: Sometimes its just timely.... speaks to something you're in right then...

Eos Amaterasu: I like the idea of sharing dreaming which loosens the finding of I everywhere

Eliza Madrigal: or right on the edge of?
Eliza Madrigal: Ah, nice phrasing Eos, yes... loosening the I
Eliza Madrigal thinks of 'hot potato' for some reason
SophiaSharon Larnia: my life is very loose right now, I find myself looking for something to hold on to
SophiaSharon Larnia: and it came into my awareness from the realization
Eos Amaterasu: a hot potato?
Eliza Madrigal: :) yes, its a game Eos
Eos Amaterasu: (whups, sorry, go on SophiaSharon...)
Eliza Madrigal: (am listening Sharon)
SophiaSharon Larnia: no no was picturing a hot potato lol
Eliza Madrigal: haha, sorry
SophiaSharon Larnia: laughs
Eos Amaterasu: was picturing SS looking for hot potato to hold on to :-)
Eliza Madrigal: its a game where everyone tries not to be the one left holding the potato
SophiaSharon Larnia: yes
Eliza Madrigal: hahaha
SophiaSharon Larnia: but thats trying :)

Eliza Madrigal: I'm sure it will take a while to find your footing Sharon, having cleared out space in your life?
SophiaSharon Larnia: too much :)
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Lucinda Lavender: I find it harder to collect my thoughts tonight but I am aware that when things are loose there are many possibilities and I thing of a loosely woven fabric.

SophiaSharon Larnia: yes!
Lucinda Lavender: think...
Eliza Madrigal: hm, yes
Eliza Madrigal: its tempting to fill in all the space right away... to go back to what might seem familiar perhaps
Lucinda Lavender: If one were climbing through that fabric as a tiny thing...there might be many places to visit...direction to go
SophiaSharon Larnia: i dont feel real, Ive ID myself with my situation, obviously
Eos Amaterasu: "without you I am nothing"
Lucinda Lavender: sounds so familiar to me...
Eliza Madrigal shrinks down to walk through the strings
Eos Amaterasu crawls the strands of the net
Lucinda Lavender: from a time long ago before husband and children
SophiaSharon Larnia wonders what the string is
Lucinda Lavender: what some call the dream weave

--BELL--

Lucinda Lavender: just possibilty,
Eos Amaterasu: weave of appearance
Eliza Madrigal: Aaahhh
Lucinda Lavender: hints of "reality"

Eos Amaterasu: no need to force the weaving
Eos Amaterasu: or pull the strings of coincidence

Wol?! At a 7M session? Nice surprise...

Eliza Madrigal: Hi Wol!
Wol Euler: hello everyone, sorry I'm late
SophiaSharon Larnia: hi Wol
stevenaia Michinaga: hello Wol
stevenaia Michinaga: up late?
Eliza Madrigal: Amazing to see you at a night session :)
Eos Amaterasu: really late for you!
Eos Amaterasu: or early!
SophiaSharon Larnia: :)
stevenaia Michinaga: like tomarrow?
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Wol Euler: yeah, it is. I don't really know why I am still up
Wol Euler: 4:34 am right now

Lucinda Lavender: and rather than memorizing the things that unfold perhaps we are resonating with and giving what ever gifts we have there.

Eliza Madrigal: Goodness
stevenaia Michinaga: aww, almost tomorrow
Eos Amaterasu: we have woven you into here....
SophiaSharon Larnia: you're as bad as me Wol :)
Wol Euler: :)
Eos Amaterasu: did you feel a strange attraction, Wol?
Lucinda Lavender: hi Wol!
Eliza Madrigal: We were talking about dream fabrics... seems hah, yes that we pulled you
Wol Euler: I must have heard the call
SophiaSharon Larnia: must've
Eliza Madrigal: does this look like something you could have dreamt up?
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Wol Euler: heheheh
Wol Euler: I have dreamed about PaB actually
Eos Amaterasu: our consensual dream
stevenaia Michinaga: what great gloves!
Wol Euler: and I often dream of/in SL
Eos Amaterasu: Wol was the first SL person I dreamt
Eliza Madrigal: Well then it fits, me too.... must be overlapping
Wol Euler: O.O
Eliza Madrigal: Really Eos?
Wol Euler: wow :)
Eos Amaterasu: :-)
SophiaSharon Larnia: listens :)
Lucinda Lavender: do you remember it?
Wol Euler: may I enquire ... ?
Eliza Madrigal: (not that I dreamt Wol first but that I dream SL a lot)
Eliza Madrigal listens
Eos Amaterasu: hmm....
Eos Amaterasu: it was my first mixed SL/RL dream
Lucinda Lavender: :)
Eos Amaterasu: just remember noticing that
Eliza Madrigal: Neat
Eos Amaterasu: not sure if I noticed in the dream or out - seemed pretty normal at the time

Wol Euler: dream logic is warped but very logical in its own time and space

Wol Euler: I dreamed once that my sister's dog was simultaneously a black lab, and a red-haired green-eyed girl
Lucinda Lavender: a shapeshifter...
Eliza Madrigal: such detail
Eliza Madrigal: almost like there were two dreamers
Eos Amaterasu: look into her eyes, and you see all that
Eliza Madrigal: I bet Eos dreams about almonds
Eliza Madrigal: hehehe
Eos Amaterasu: heh heh
Lucinda Lavender: perhaps gifts of that person
Eos Amaterasu: I did once after the Malta retreat
Eliza Madrigal: Ah, yes true!

Eliza Madrigal: Wol, did you dream as vividly before SL?
Wol Euler: oh yes
Wol Euler: I've alwys had very intricate dreams
Wol Euler: what was new after SL is that I started dreaming in different bodies
Wol Euler: differently gendered bodies:)
Eliza Madrigal: how wonderful
Lucinda Lavender: understandable
Wol Euler: that was a pleasant surprise ;)
Eliza Madrigal: yes, hm, guess that was a shift for me too... but diff species...
Lucinda Lavender: the possibilities for imagining
Eliza Madrigal: virtual weaving
SophiaSharon Larnia: :)

Eos Amaterasu: Wol also weaves the weaver

Lucinda Lavender: do you write yours down?
Wol Euler: very seldom, mostly I trust to my extraordinarily good memory :)
Eliza Madrigal: oooo, weaving the weaver..... gosh what fun to choose a title tonight :)

Lucinda Lavender: then you can go back and look for the themes that may develop as it may still be on the loom

SophiaSharon Larnia: wow yes Lucinda
Eos Amaterasu: I get the impression that we're pretty constantly dreaming
Eliza Madrigal: so its funny to choose what to write

--BELL--

Steve slumps over...

Eliza Madrigal: we lulled Steve :)
stevenaia Michinaga: grins
Eos Amaterasu: (dreaming)
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Eliza Madrigal: it was his turn to dream this

And the title goes to :::drum role::::

Eos Amaterasu: thank you steve for keeping us alive in your imaginarium

Eliza Madrigal: hehehe
stevenaia Michinaga: enhancing my mentoring page, but you can't edit in a dream
Wol Euler: :)
Eliza Madrigal has heard this, but has indeed seemed to read things
Lucinda Lavender: you just think you have woken up?
SophiaSharon Larnia: I wonder how much of that is real, Eos
Eos Amaterasu: we do kind of weave the story and being of ourselves....
Eos Amaterasu: collaboratively
Eos Amaterasu: with listeners, other weavers
Eos Amaterasu: here it's like a spontaneously co-created play
SophiaSharon Larnia: :)
Lucinda Lavender: yes:)

SophiaSharon Larnia: night all, falling asleep at the keyboard ^^
Wol Euler: ((I'm finally feeling tired enough to sleep. Thank you, my dears, goodnight and gods bless))
SophiaSharon Larnia: smiles
Eliza Madrigal: Night Sharon and Wol :) Sweet dreams both
Eos Amaterasu: 'night Wol, SophiaSharon
Wol Euler: enjoy your weekends
Lucinda Lavender: sweet dream to you both
Eliza Madrigal: You too Wol :)
stevenaia Michinaga: night, enjoy your dreams
Eos Amaterasu: Will also leave after the ding (which follows the deeper dong)
Eliza Madrigal: so its like we have keys to the doors of others' imaginariums... heh
stevenaia Michinaga: how does one leave with a dong?
Eos Amaterasu: the dong starts things (like the 90 secs).....
Eliza Madrigal smiles at Eos, knowing that it must be difficult not to be the dinger
Eos Amaterasu: :-)
Eliza Madrigal: (people often depend on Eos's phone for meditations)
Eos Amaterasu: ("sonar" sound on the iPhone)
Lucinda Lavender: does it ring and wake them?
stevenaia Michinaga: every 15 minutes?
Eos Amaterasu: who knows?
Eos Amaterasu: in San Francisco we ended up doing 15 minute sessions
Eliza Madrigal: yes, liked that
Lucinda Lavender: using the phone as a bell?
Eliza Madrigal nods
Lucinda Lavender: ah
Eos Amaterasu: set a timer on the iPhone
Lucinda Lavender: nice
Eos Amaterasu is hoping for more PaBeing furniture, accoutrements, jewellery....
Eos Amaterasu: earings that dong and ding
Eliza Madrigal laughs

Lucinda Lavender: what special ear rings...
stevenaia Michinaga: time for Wol to write a PaB app
Eos Amaterasu: Eliza's bells on her shoes

Wheels turning...

Eliza Madrigal: Lucinda, have you and your group ever done a kind of dream-themed retreat? I think that might be interesting
Lucinda Lavender: yes quite a few
Eliza Madrigal jingles and jangles
Eliza Madrigal: Oh!
Eliza Madrigal: I know its getting late, but I'd love to hear more about that some time too
Lucinda Lavender: and once was in the back woods or Arkansas on top of a swath of crystal
Eliza Madrigal: oh my
Eos Amaterasu: ?
Lucinda Lavender: I drove through a rainstorm where frogs jumped on to the road and off it! in the dark
Eos Amaterasu: (urk)
Lucinda Lavender: A sort of meeting of the dreamers...
Lucinda Lavender: laughed hysterically as it seemed like out of a myth
Eliza Madrigal: seems a bit of wildness :))
Eliza Madrigal: letting the dreamers run free...
--BELL--
Lucinda Lavender: the frogs I mean...two night , several dream circles andess
Lucinda Lavender: sorry, we spent quiet time listening
Eliza Madrigal: Sounds wonderful Lucinda
Lucinda Lavender: I had never been there before. quite a different world.
stevenaia Michinaga: I must be off
stevenaia Michinaga: see you soon

Eliza Madrigal: do you feel you take on a bit of the surroundings ? dream into the place?
Eliza Madrigal: Night Steve and Eos :)
Lucinda Lavender: yes sometimes
Lucinda Lavender: bye Steve and eos
Eos Amaterasu: good night Steve, Eliza,Lucinda
Eliza Madrigal: :) Sweet dreams
Eos Amaterasu: thanx for sharing this dream :-)
Lucinda Lavender: I had been in an online class for some time with the other dreamers
Eliza Madrigal: Its been an oddly paced session.... but interesting in its way... its own context
Eliza Madrigal: Oh, a class?
Lucinda Lavender: meeting was wonderful
Eliza Madrigal: wow you've really focused ...
Lucinda Lavender: tell me.. about the pacing
Lucinda Lavender: yes
Eliza Madrigal: just something I felt I guess... like the kind of music playing...
Lucinda Lavender: yes
Eliza Madrigal: this morning we kind of crackled
Eliza Madrigal: and tonight we swayed a bit
Lucinda Lavender: ah
Eliza Madrigal: same topic, in a way, but very different too
Eliza Madrigal: different tune
Lucinda Lavender: yes
Eliza Madrigal: :)

Eliza Madrigal: how does an online dreaming class work?
Eliza Madrigal hopes you don't mind all her questions :)
Lucinda Lavender: It was offered by the teacher and one would have an email a week, and a thread to post on.
Eliza Madrigal: Ah, so parameters
Eliza Madrigal: then writing and sharing
Lucinda Lavender: at the end we each took a kind of dreaming and wrote about it.
Eliza Madrigal: hm, 'kind' of dreaming?
Lucinda Lavender: That class was called dreams are letters from the soul.
Lucinda Lavender: I wrote about telepathic dreaming
Eliza Madrigal: oh, lovely
Lucinda Lavender: it was a kind that I had been curious about
Eliza Madrigal: indeed, a fascinating topic

Lucinda Lavender: The big answer I got was that because of love the doors open

Eliza Madrigal: MMMMM
Eliza Madrigal: That resonates for me too
Lucinda Lavender: that is why I needed that class.
Eliza Madrigal: many doors open and wondered what to do?
Lucinda Lavender: to help me accept some gifts in that department.
Lucinda Lavender: children, animals, stories of falling buildings etc.
Eliza Madrigal: Ah, yes I see
Lucinda Lavender: trauma as a child can open the doors too.
Lucinda Lavender: like having a little light inside for information
Eliza Madrigal: maybe because it can be potential for empathy
Lucinda Lavender: yes!!!!
Eliza Madrigal: :)

Lucinda Lavender: so then rather than being afraid one can move with it...surf it so to speak
Lucinda Lavender: allow transformation as it unfolds
Eliza Madrigal smiles
Eliza Madrigal: healing dreams
--BELL--
Lucinda Lavender: yes, personal, collective, transformational, philanthropic.
Lucinda Lavender: healing falls in the transformational
Eliza Madrigal: Wonderful scope... including others
Eliza Madrigal: 'my gain is the gain of everyong endlessly' is one of my favorite lines from a buddhist song...

Lucinda Lavender: yes that is where the universe is being created I suppose
Eliza Madrigal: /smiles
Lucinda Lavender: where we are feeding and regenerating others
Eliza Madrigal: so inspiring Lucinda! Its hard to sign off, but I'd better...
Eliza Madrigal: early day tomorrow :)
Eliza Madrigal: Nice to see you again :)
Lucinda Lavender: me too! thanks I look forward io it...
Eliza Madrigal: Bye for now :) Sweet dreams to you
Lucinda Lavender: bye for now
Lucinda Lavender: same for you
Eliza Madrigal: :)
