Cross Overs

Dream

I am sleeping in a room and the door opens and I see a female vampire standing at the door. This vampire became a vampire as a result of emotional pains. She wants everyone to be like her so she would no longer be an outcast. If everyone becomes an outcast then that would be the norm and she would be normal. I quickly stood up and the light was behind her and she casted a shadow. I put my palms together and recited Shakyamuni Buddha's name and this created a shield that blocked her blast. Then I did something else and I blasted her to buy me some time to escape.

I run to another room and everyone there was asleep. I hid in the closet and a scream from another room woke everyone up and they all jumped out of bed to attend to it. I jump out of the window and ran.

I ran through an outdoor restaurant and I saw a girl shifting shape into a dog and then a girl, back and forth. People were all laughing at her not knowing what to do or what was going on. She was traumatized. I picked her up and carried her into the kitchen and placed her into a sink and ran the warm water to sooth and calm her. The physical experience of the state she was in was painful like an episode of seizure.

I then jumped onto a bus full of people and I spotted someone across from me whom I assumed had Native American spiritual background and decided to ask him,"have you seen vampires?" He leans back at me and tells me,"get off here. " I got off and I followed him into a Taoist temple where he lined up to light an incense and pay homage to an earth god. It occurred to me that the two have cross overs and may be the same with cultural differences and icons. He holds up an incense and tells me the ingredients for a healing patch from a vampire bite, a bite of emotional injury that destroys the mind, and tells me what to recite as I make it. I thought in my mind this is too much detail and I need to write it down, all of it. Then he turns to me and leans forward and whispers into my ears and say, "You know, Earth Store Bodhisattva Sutra does pretty well too!"

California is Beautiful

Day 8
Road trip down south was great. Made many scenic stops along the way. This was a pee stop al'natural, what a view to go in.

Pulled over to check out the Elks at the Meadow in Prairie Creek State Park.

Pulled over on exit #768 on Klamath Breach Road to go to high bluff for a picnic ocean view.

Then exit #765 Newton B Scenic Parkway to get out through the north.

Then we took Ferndale and went through the historical downtown and saw some nice architecture, it was a drive by to check out old Colorful well maintained Victorian Houses. We made it onto the Lost Coast road to check out what that was about. We weren't impressed or maybe we are just spoiled with natural beauty. All that work of driving in windy road to get on Ferndale Petrolia Road passing lots of barns and hills. It really felt like a different state through there.

Then we pulled out onto Mattol Road into Humboldt Redwood State Park through to Rockefeller Forest. By the time we got there it was too dark. The very tall trees were intimidating. It was too much for all of us girls and we got out of there as soon as we could. Didn't get off the road to our destination till 11:30pm. Much later than we would of liked but all the stops we made were worth it and fun.
