Hello:
The dream was real because it was real. Your shadow side making itself
known, as Archetype. The Archetype of the shadow is very very powerful. It
is potential within all, but tends to take the sharpest form in those like
you who have had the harshest journey. Your experience makes you ask hard
questions that the shadow is best equipped to explain. Why bad things
happen to good people, why the road to hell is paved with good intentions..
stuff like that.
If you can learn to love him unconditionally, you will ascend. If you
like, you can think of him as a person in your head, and chat with him. He
is often shocking, he will push all of your karmic buttons till they are
gone.
Usually the person who had the dream is the best to interpret it, but
it resonates a bit for me.. especially since the shadow side of my persona
I call "Armand", but he looks very much like Vlad the Impaler crossed with
Captain Morgan from the spiced rum bottle. Vlad the Impaler looks like a
cartoon of Satan, and he was believed to be Lucifer incarnate, by his
terrified subjects. Classic bad-guy look. I first read of Vlad in a book on
the legends of vampires as a teenager. That's probably why Armand looks
like that.. playing his role.
Archetypes have all of the collective consciousness of human history
to draw on, they can show up as anything but they tend to choose a form
that carries a resonant lesson. He chose a form out of history for it's
resonance, and so you would know he is real.
What I'm saying, is that the shadow side of your own psyche drew on your
connection to the collective, and from that sea of history chose a face and
form that best represented the issue at hand: Vlad Dracul the Impaler.
Shadow is shadow but it *can* wear any face. The face it chose, is a
reflection of you.
You are getting in touch with your shadow side, and that is wonderful!
The shadow side has the wisdom of the "ugly mirror". What the polarities
look like. Loving him is part of becoming the Tao, integrating your dark
and light sides.
My initiation as a Shaman woke him, and he taught me to be a Dom in
service to the Light. He is a servant of Kundalini in it's aspect of Sophia
Goddess of Wisdom.
He will teach you to see in the dark.. to understand why "bad things
happen to good people" and how mosquitoes and tornados are also forms of
unconditional love and part of Dvine Will.
So, looking at him as part of you, a reflection in a dark mirror of
who you are, and looking at the "spikes" as metaphors for Kundalini
awakening.. the dream takes on a whole different picture. You are oft known
for saying "why cannot we all be nice to each other".. a good intention,
for sure but the ugly mirror view of wanting everyone to be on the same
*level* of enlightenment is wanting them all to be impaled on the spikes of
Shiva with this energy poking up thier spine. Not everyone finds that to be
a pleasant experience.
Blessings..
