MUTUAL DREAMING
How we came about working with the Dream Alliance, on the Mt. Shasta project, was a miracle all on it’s own. Yet, the mutual dreaming didn’t end there. First there was this message to me, from John:
“Had a short dream last nite, I wasn't lucid but it may be of interest. Dreamed I was camping on a mountainside with others. Saw a large log suspended horizontally in the air. A young man, 20 yrs. old, was standing on the log, spinning it with his feet the way lumberjacks do. On his shoulders stood another young man who was lifting a heavy object over his head. It was amazing. Two young magician/daredevils on the mountain. I thought one of them may have been you.”
Eagerly, I sent off a picture of myself to John. To which he replied, “You were the guy standing on the other guy’s shoulders”. As if to confirm the truth of the message, I instantly received a shiver of light through my body. However, at this point, we’re still waiting on the identity of the other magician J
John’s next dream was a great example of mutual dreaming, and was certainly an inspiration to my own interest in the area:
“I awakened and called for my dream team members. Two of them showed up and I asked them to look at their hands to make them lucid, like I was. They did and we then walked outside joined hands and began flying to Mt. Shasta. I felt we were flying too low at first and we started to fly higher when we flew into the window of a 2 story building. We walked through the room and jumped out the window on the other side of the room only to find that we were thousands of feet in the air.
I was halfway out the window when Kate and I looked down and found we were thousands of feet in the air. I felt her shock run thru me and said "Just......Breathe". At this point my waking life cat knocked over something in the kitchen and woke me up. I knew immediately that the building that we has passed thru was the inner plane of Mt. Shasta. One of the dreamers I was with (in the dream) had a dream of jumping off of a high rock ledge that same night.”
In another of my own dreams, I asked ‘The Waves’, to guide me to Mt. Shasta. Awaking, I began to read something that looked like a post to Sea Life. The only difference, being that the interface came through in black and white outline format. It was by a woman, and read, “To ask questions of your own, let me suggest a form I use personally”. Apparently, a brown crystal.
I got the feeling from this dream that the brown crystal was a form that could be used to enter into communication with Mt. Shasta. What made this whole concept really interesting, was that soon after I received a post from John (who hadn’t yet read my dream).
“A friend of our dream group is now traveling in California and we gave her a piece from a quartz crystal cluster to place on Mt. Shasta. We have the rest of the cluster on the altar where we have our dream meetings here in Arizona. She arrives in Mt. Shasta tomorrow June 24, so we can all follow the crystal energy path to find our way to the mountain.”
And guess what type of crystal it was?, “a brown/gray smokey quartz crystal”. Amazing. Considering John’s friend Jean, hadn’t actually checked the forum, it seems quite possible that my dream picked up on the knowledge through psychic phenomena. Perhaps the simple black and white post, was a symbol to help demonstrate this. The crystal trail to Mt. Shasta, is certainly a wonderful idea!
In one of my final few journeys to Mt Shasta, I become conscious that I was dreaming.
“I lean back and begin singing. "I wanna travel to Mt Shasta”, I repeat it quite a number of times, finally calling on my higher self to guide me there. It works! I'm away. Floating through the astral. I finally emerge, and I find myself on a mountain face. Yet my attention isn't drawn to the mountain itself.
There's a circular graveyard type place - a memorial. I get the feeling it's for the beings who live under the ground, in Mt Shasta. There's a really vibrant energy surrounding me. I feel like I've been drawn here for some special purpose. There are perhaps 8-10 tombstones placed around the circle. My attention is drawn to the first; my mind kind of zooms in.
I instantly have this strange impression that I actually saw an image of this circle tombstone area on the internet, in waking life. It's a feeling that I had in fact been warned about what was to happen. The grave has a special message on it: "ID=125". This seems to have some real importance. It almost feels as though the ground is going to open up for me. The tombstone radiates light in all directions, it's energy touching me. It’s beautiful!”
Initially, I’d actually wondered if perhaps this was like some graveyard for the beings who lived inside the mountain. I sure wasn’t expecting John’s reply. Apparently, his street address was Tombstone Canyon. Amazing! That made even more sense. His dream group has 9 people in it – what if they were the beings living (at least in their dreams) under the mountain.
The actual street number was also extremely similar, but for some reason I wasn’t entirely sure about a link there. Strawin filled me in with the necessary details, though it was only when writing this article up that the realisation actually came through.
As it turns out a recent project, completed by one of the dream teams was on dream-based discover of one’s ‘Animal Totems’. And it’s ID, was 125. Seems awfully fitting then to include this final message from John, which seems to highlight the healing power and wisdom of Mt. Shasta:
“One of our dreamers, Jane, dreamed that she entered a cave at Mt. Shasta with a group of people. It was kind of like a class inside, with a female teacher. She gave everyone in the class a
card of their own. Jane's card had lions on it. She's had lion dreams lately and is looking for the courage to make a big change in her life. Mt. Shasta has helped her find that courage.”
This project turned out to be quite a fascinating adventure, and a great demonstration of the benefits of collaboration between dream groups. What a magical journey!

Stay tuned next moon for the results of our research into ‘Children’s Dreams’. In the meantime dreamers are invited to contact Nick (Explora), with their dream experiences of Mt Shasta. We’re always looking for new people to join us in our adventures, so if it sounds like fun, please consider the offer.
