Blue Bear by Heather Ifversen

Last night I had fantastic full color dreams that I want to share. I am certain I traveled to Colorado, where I met some interesting women and men who showed me around. One woman in particular, the first I met, was a stranger to me. She entertained me in her home and when we were through, we took a walk with her dog. There were several dogs in the area, but I noticed a large black animal was there, too. It was a huge black bear! It stood out from the dogs as being a wild animal.

I was not afraid of the bear. This fear would be the usual approach for me spotting a bear in the woods. Instead, I took notice it had a distinctly blue glow surrounding it, as if it were marked as special.

Next the lucid dream took me to the studio of two men, who were obviously musicians. They were working on a project and I was watching their progress. I went looking for a drink in their refrigerators and found one. As I drank the beer it tasted awful, so I put it down and got another one. The second beer I put down again and lost it. This signifies I did not want beer as a drink. Since I am do not drink alcohol, I put it down and never tasted it again.

The two men showed me a large console that was rectangular and had a huge video and audio screen. It could be manipulated to produce video. I was fascinated with this device and as I played with it to figure out the function, the men just seemed to disappear. I was left alone with the device to use it myself.

Next I appeared on the doorstep of two women who were obviously a couple. They were happy to receive me into their home. I believe I traveled from New Jersey, where I live, to their home in Colorado. I was a guest and they were prepared to receive me. I saw their names on the mailbox but cannot recall them now.   Often text is introduced to me in dreams but it is hard to remember unless I write it down upon waking.

The home I was visiting was immaculate and well cared for, compared to the studio I just visited, which was a small mess. This was a study in contrast between how men live together and how women live in a much more orderly space (this is not always the case, but mostly plays out as such). The women had thoughts on Colorado to share with me, and I listened. They told me that the wilderness areas were full of wild animals and lots of surprise beasts, too. The women said I had come for a very special purpose of seeing the animals, and them, too. I found them both interesting.

When I left their home I took note of the names on the mailboxes and I vowed to return there.

The dreams concluded with me waking up.

I felt a strong pull towards Colorado upon waking and knew with absolute certainty that’s where I visited in my astral projection. During my life in reality, I spent 2017-2019 in Colorado and was able to travel widely in the state. I saw many things, including lots of wild animals while living in the Black Hawk and Nederland area. Yet I never once saw a bear! I saw two bobcats on the property where I lived. I saw a large brown moose run down a side street in Nederland. I also saw a lovely red fox on my way down the road from Nederland to Black Hawk. The fox revealed itself to me at sunset. I also saw a black moose running around the neighborhood at a friend’s house in Black Hawk.   In each instance I was enchanted by the animal sighting and loved watching them. Moose are considered dangerous in Colorado, because they charge human beings with all of their weight.   I am thankful I was in the car for the large brown moose sighting. For the black moose sighting I quickly went inside the house.

Large mountain lions also populate the Nederland area, making it unsafe for the locals to go out and walk their dogs on some evenings. The mountain lions show during nocturnal hours and are quite large. I heard stories about mountain lions coming into a trailer park and jumping from rooftop to rooftop. This was quite scary for the residents of the trailer park, as one can imagine.

In my astral projection/lucid dreaming about Colorado, the people were so hospitable and I was unafraid of the wild animals. I felt immune to any harm the animals might bring me, which is unusual. When lucid dreaming and waking in between, I always stayed in the same general area of Colorado and experienced more people. This amazes me, but I have developed a way of stationing myself in lucid dreams. I don’t move around on the bed but stay in the exact position on the bed when I briefly wake and recover the lucid dream. Then I deliberately set my intention to stay in the lucid dream and explore further. This seems to work for me as I continue in the dream narrative. Sometimes I switch locations in a minor way, but the thread of the dream remains the same. I am able to capture a moment in dreaming and direct the rest of my dream narrative towards that moment.

We Are by Heather Ifversen

Quite a lot has been written about synchronicity. But do we really know the deep meaning of the term, and how it affects our lives? Synchronicity is the simultaneous occurrence of two events that seem unrelated but are related. Synchronicity has deep meaning to the magical consciousness. It’s like an OK from the universe to move the energy forward in any situation that arises. Synchronicities are part of the mysteries and are a significant sign one is on the right path.

If synchronicity occurs as a result of a magical spell, it’s a clear message from the universe to go forward with the spell. I do not do spell work. But others do, so it matters. In divine feminine consciousness, to observe a synchronicity means the universe is communicating with you, and it’s time to move energy in a positive way and a forward direction.

Let me give an example. When I first started communicating with Heather Ifversen, the visual artist who illustrates this writing – a major synchronicity occurred. Often, the divine will communicate in numbers. I passed a manuscript on to Heather to read, and it had my home address on the cover. She looked at it and much to her surprise – living in a faraway state of South Carolina – she had the exact same street number as her address as mine – 307. Not only was the street number the same, the street name was an exact match – 307 Walnut. This was no coincidence. It was a synchronicity that was undeniable. It was quite a shock to both of us! To know we were living in two separate residences in two different states and sharing the same street address was a clear sign we needed to move forward with this collaboration.

Synchronicity has an energy all its own. It’s magical energy stirred up by the universe to let us know we are on the right path. Sometimes you doubt or question being on the right path. But when the same street addresses appeared to me as a reality, I knew I was on the right path. Heather knew this and acknowledged it as well, setting up a circle of energy that was connected by this auspicious similarity,

Both Heather and myself spend a lot of time at home. She paints. I write. The universe acknowledged a strong work ethic as part of the connection. Our addresses are important to us if we spend almost all of our time at home working. We now do video chat and communicate across a great distance to further the collaboration. This matters to the outcome of the work and our lives.

307 by Heather Ifversen

Synchronicity as a result of spell work is also significant. For those who do spell work and expect an outcome, synchronicities noted as a result can have deep meaning. Heather posted a lighthouse on Facebook just before I contacted her through Messenger. It had been 11 years since we were in contact. I wanted to use one or two of her paintings I already had on file to illustrate this blog on the Divine Feminine. I contacted her to make sure she knew I was using the work in my blog and that it was all right with her that I reproduced it.

Prior to putting the lighthouse up, Heather was doing manifestation work for a Divine Feminine spirit to work with her through a difficult period in her life. She actually considered stopping painting. This would have been a terrible waste. Her paintings offer a deeper look into the divine feminine and are valuable for this blog.

Because I made contact, and requested use of her work for this blog, ceasing her work did not happen. Instead, she moved forward with new work that makes a statement about the merging of souls and the energy it produces.

A painting of a lighthouse emerged to commemorate this meeting up of souls. We are doing deep work on ourselves (and others) by this collaboration. It is blessed by the spirit world because our numbers are the same: 307. Other synchronicities have occurred. She has a child named Finn (a girl) that’s about 18 years old and I have a female cat named Finn that’s the same age. Heather is almost exactly 10 years apart from me in age, reiterating the number 10 in 307. These synchronicities are all significant to both of us. It’s like the universe is having a grand parade of synchronicities all at once.   This collaboration is meant to be and in divine order.   We are in sync.

If you believe in fated occurrences then this collaboration was fated to be. These new paintings by Heather Ifversen are in existence because of this meeting. The activities of painting and writing are important and they occur together, across space and time to meet up on this digital page, creating an imprint of the activities of the mind. I thank Heather for her attention towards me and this endeavor. It’s meant to be.

I Can See in the Dark by Heather Ifversen.

Right now I am exploring the idea of the rise of the divine feminine.   This is an ancient pagan dictum, to embrace the goddess all around you and within self. Certainly, the goddess rises in a number of ways. The most profound way is in a shift in consciousness. This is what the mind knows to be true. It is not always a truth reflected in 3D reality but rather what the mind and heart know to be truths about self in all dimensional realities.

I have been in direct contact with a friend from South Carolina. I reached out to her first but now we are on the same tangential plane. Her name is Heather Ifversen and she is a visual artist who submits her work for inclusion on the FairiesInAmerica blog. She feels the magical shift, too. It’s coming around through lots of women I know. The rise of the divine feminine is a shift in consciousness that reveals the inner truths about our own divine power. Many pagans believe in these magical shifts. They come about organically and can be seen by the dreaming mind.

In this blog post, she has painted a self-portrait. I love when women artists paint themselves because it always reveals their true inner and outer nature. In this piece she is set squarely by the river where she spends her time fishing and camping.   These favorite activities bring her closer to herself and the natural world. Lately, she has had car problems so visiting her spot is not practical. So she goes there in her mind and with her art instead. The divine feminine is a spirit that’s a driving force in her life.

Switchback Trail by Heather Ifversen

I have been dreaming about old friends and old friends are dreaming about me. Having deep knowledge about another when you haven’t seen them in ages is a magical shift. Dreams, though less concrete than waking life, are no less important. Dreams point to patterns of behavior and help us analyze the self. I have been a student of my own dreams for well over 30 years. I started with a deep study of Jungian analysis of dreams in my 20s. This provided a good foundation for the work I do now. In an effort to understand my dreams I am sharing them with Heather Ifversen. Then she sends me work that helps explain the dream. The work is already painted in many cases and comes from her vast archive of visual art. Sometimes she will paint for the writing, too. It just depends on the mood and subject matter of the piece.

I am drawn the Heather’s work because it details a very busy unconscious mind. My dream life is quite busy, too. Heather once suffered a fall and a brain injury that opened up a huge creative reservoir of work for her. It essentially let loose a most powerful energy in her mind that in turn inspired so many strange paintings. I love her bold use of color and the mind mapping that goes on in her work. Her mind is surreal, and she is constantly grasping for – and achieving – more of other dimensional realities. My work is so similar that we decided to collaborate to invoke the spirit of the work together. The dream work is deep and exhilarating. It has an energy all its own. Heather is a part of my phantastical world and dream life realities. It’s an honor to work with an artist who is so accomplished and committed to her own work everyday.

Learning about another’s struggles is also a form of listening. This helps us to understand our own struggles. Self-help can come from another’s struggles. We identify and have empathy. Heather struggles with her old car, the death of a beloved dog, and the ending of a partnership of almost four years. I struggle with caring for my father and feeling a bit isolated from other artists. I also fight with addiction issues that have been with me throughout life until recently. I suffer from anxiety and panic disorders which are present in my life. By reaching out to each other we help one another heal.

Night Traveler by Heather Ifversen

The divine feminine is a merging of souls, coming together for the greater good. It’s like a gathering on the 5D plane of existence, which is why dreams and daytime intuitions are so important. This gathering of souls drawing together is a strengthening of the bond we have for one another.   Whether someone is going through illness or financial hardship, artistic struggle or damage to one’s property, we can reach out and connect in the 5D. Sharing art makes things better, not worse.

Healing can occur through togetherness.   The healing begins when one is alone but is transformed through togetherness. Collective healing is a sign that the divine feminine is at work. Learn to pay attention to the needs of others and you can heal yourself.

Collective sensations are felt in groups. If one person is ecstatically happy this mood can spread to others. If one person is depressed in a group this too can spread. But there is always a chance to change the mood and help the person depressed – collectively. This is what I hope to achieve through this collaboration. Through space and time, this collaboration will help each one of us who participates or reads these messages. It is my hope that by communicating we will help one another on the healing journey.

Underneath by Heather Ifversen

I had an interesting dream early this morning, where I knew I was out-of-body.  In the dream, I was carrying a woman while she performed a wild dance in front of a large crowd.  The crowd was dancing ecstatically with her.  I was dancing too, but mostly trying to keep up with her movements while I threw her in the air.

The movements where quite challenging for me and very physical. As she descended from throwing her up in the air, her head would wobble off.  The woman would gently rearrange her head on the top of her spine and we’d begin the dance all over again. The crowd went wild. She seemed undeterred by her head wobbling off.

As the dance began to wind down, the crowd slowly dispersed.  I began to relax as my role as dancer was winding down too. I saw the crowd leave and I decided to go too.

I found a small ravine that led to a stream that was quite wide. I took my shoes off to cross the stream. When I did this I saw a turtle and I asked it if this was the best way to cross the stream. The turtle spoke out loud.   It asked me, “Would you like me to give you a ride?” I felt the turtle speaking was so natural. I replied, “Yes, turtle, I would love a ride.”

At that precise moment I woke up. I knew I was headed for turtle island, a place I said I wanted to visit through astral travel with a dear friend in Florida. For us, turtle island is a real island in Fort Meyers, Florida. It’s a place on the Gulf of Mexico where turtles birth their eggs each season. Sea turtles come up from the Gulf and dig large holes where they will bury their eggs. It’s a sacred place to me and Linda, and we have done magic there. I only go there in the morning, because it’s cool then. The turtles go there at night and secretly dig their holes for their young must be born away from the ocean in order to survive.

Once, while walking in my favorite park in New Jersey, I saw a box turtle had come up from the crick. It was inland just a bit and busily digging a hole with it’s back legs. I knew immediately what it was doing. The turtle was going to give birth to its young and was digging a hole for the eggs. I saw this as magical communication that I would reach turtle island in my astral travels.

I see my dream as confirmation that I will reach turtle island in my astral travels. I plan to meet Linda there and do magic with her in my dream. She is a quite accomplished magician and I have faith now this trip will transpire. Or, maybe the dream was signaling me that I already arrived on Turtle Island and was just about to be transported to my friend. As out of body dreams go, it’s hard to ascertain what is really going on until you arrive at your planned destination.

Learning by doing is my main objective with out of body experiences. When I wake up in the middle of an intense and colorful dream, I immediately try to sleep again and place myself in the same exact setting. The talking turtle was still with me.

Animals speak to us all the time, albeit in their own language. It’s up to us to interpret them. This is why I call it the Rise of the Divine Feminine. These talents are present in all of us and need only be developed and practiced. Each night, I practice lucid dreaming in order to get better at it.
