Dream The Rainbow Bridge
Swimming in an ocean of possibility
Transform from old to new
In a new dream comes a rainbow
Bridge and a journey
Yet to be explored
Keep on swimming
Keep on dreaming
From the Rainbow Bridge
Keep on swimming
Keep on dreaming
From the Rainbow Bridge
That old world may have been full of darkness
A place where you couldn’t see
Your heart may have been full of pain
Where new dreams could not live
But you took a leap of faith
Into the great waters
And there you became a Dolphin.
Now you can see.
You have a new song, a new voice.
Now you can dream.
Swimming in an ocean of possibility
Transform from old to new
In a new dream comes a rainbow
A journey
Yet to be explored
Keep on swimming
Keep on dreaming
From the Rainbow Bridge
Keep on swimming
Keep on dreaming
From the Rainbow Bridge
One day you looked all around
And saw you were all alone
No one to love you
No one cared
Your heart grew hard like a fist
Your voice full of rage
You searched for the times when you were soft and gentle.
When the world was light and your smile was real
Swimming in an ocean of possibility
Transform from old to new
In a new dream comes a rainbow
A journey
Yet to be explored
Keep on swimming
Keep on dreaming
From the Rainbow Bridge
Keep on swimming
Keep on dreaming
From the Rainbow Bridge
Now you wonder if your dreams
Are those of your fathers and your mothers
Do you carry their pain?
Do you hear their voice in yours?
Your choice yours? Or their’s?
Look to the links in the chains
Whose dream now?
Your’s or their’s?
Swimming in an ocean of possibility
Transform from old to new
In a new dream comes a rainbow
A journey
Yet to be explored
Keep on swimming
Keep on dreaming
From the Rainbow Bridge
Keep on swimming
Keep on dreaming
From the Rainbow Bridge
Keep on swimming
Like a dolphin
Keep on dreaming
Like a dolphin
Keep on playing
Like a dolphin
Dream a new dream for you!
Ha everyone,
I liked the webex class a lot. Also that it was on sunday night (in my timezone). Normally on sunday night I can already feel the pressure of work starting the next morning. It is a slight turmoil, tension in my stomach and neck.
This was also the ‘conviction’ that I focused on during the class: ‘I do not trust i can do lucid dreaming if I have to work the next morning’.
After the class me and my wife remarked on how the class/the exercises had given us that ‘soft feeling’. As if not only our skin, but the whole world has that soft touch. Afterwards I did some more magical passes and went to sleep holding scene to which we gazed sitting high on a mountain on an island.
That night I had long, adventurous dreams and after what felt like days of dreaming I thought, these are just dreams so I can now look at my hands. Just looking at my hands my awareness and the surrounding so incredibly real.
Anyway my finding is that the key to doing dreaming at night is that ‘soft feeling’ before going to sleep. It is a feeling of completeness, wellbeing, quieteness. Unfortunately there is no standard recipy for getting into that mood, except for the artful maneuverings of that we learn in these classes.
Ciao, Arthur.
Hello Fellow Dolphin Dreamers!
I took the web-ex class at Cleargreen on Sunday. After doing the movements and going outside to gaze, we all sat as we shared our family dreams. That night I used the image of a white butterfly softly fluttering it’s wings as it touched upon an orange California poppy. That image had me engulfed in the butterfly’s wings as the softness slowly covered me completely as I entered the dream. I had several dreams which I woke to jot down. My last and most interesting dream was a room full of practitioners as we were gathering our stories, our mythology whatever that may be.
I heard someone say that a woman was speaking Russian and another Japanese.
I heard myself say, “I am Kicking Bird Woman in the Yellow world”. I saw a man answer a phone in some foreign language I couldn’t understand. He said it was the embassy. The phone was a phone out of the cold war era, circa 1950′s. A red light on the phone blinked on and off as I heard many voices speak in a united way. When I saw the man hang up the phone I heard a distinctive clicking sound. When I awoke I began to make the dolphin clicking sound. I made the sound throughout the day and it seemed to calm my internal dialogue, my work pack seemed to be part of the dream, I was calm and softer all day. The flutter of those wings, the clicking dolphin sound, it has been one awesome day!
Hello,
I want to share with you this: I dreamt I was in workshop when a group around me begun to practise movement kicking with feet of right leg in left area with angle of 45 degrees on the level of left knee.
Regard,
Thank-you very much Cleargeen.
Through your influence there I am sure I have had these dreams – and much more…
I had my successes with the latest Dolphin Dreaming workshop before the workshop began. It is as if the intent for the Cleargreen activities (this is not the 1st time) are broadcast to me weeks before the workshop begins. It feels strange getting such benefits before the event. It is as if my dreaming has no “time” that way. (And perhaps it has to do with my leg being recently injured which will keep me from physically attending the actual workshop.)
I had these dreams a few weeks after I got the announcement for the Dolphin Dreamer event…
A few weeks back dolphins I was swimming (in my dream) with were all very aware – as aware and intelligent as any humans I know. One explained that they create the world with their dreaming, and it is possible to change the world in my dreaming. This was a teaching experience to me – very real to me; the dream was so very vivid.
Then a week back, a female whale I was underwater in the ocean with invited me to come close to her. I knew that being in an incorporeal state (without body), in the dreaming state I could get as close as melding my essence with other beings. I did so mutually with her happy cooperation. I was exhilarated by her acceptance of me. It was as if making love, closer than I had ever been to another living being. It was deep soul touching. We were so close to together. There was not the physical euphoria of making love – but a melding. Through this for the 1st time I saw how close women (females of any species) are to the Earth. – Women are very connected to the Earth. I saw women’s true worth – for the 1st time. I as well, got a glimpse of how the Earth is of the woman spirit (or vice versa). The Earth is female, huge, incredibly immense, and quite aware. Again, this dream really impinged on my universe, it was so real; the being of the whale so powerful for me.
Both of these beings are truly dearest friends of mankind and everyone. They both left a deep impression with me. So much love was there that the time will not dissipate it the feeling we shared and their messages to me.
A few days after the Web event for the Dolphin Dreamer I am plugged into my dreaming intent. I dream better when another someone with higher energy comes to me in my dreaming. It has been hit or miss otherwise before. I am keeping my journal as Nyee, the instructor, reiterated that we do to help call and nurture the dreaming attention. Since the event I feel the horsepower to paving the road to my own successful take-offs and soft landings. I know how, and feel, the call of the dreaming attention. I am on its track in everything I do now day to day to accumulate the energy. I am also going for an individual private session later at Cleargreen in March.
Again, thank-you very much Cleargreen.
Humbly (!)
Hi bubwanna, the account of your experiences was such a delight!
Since you mentioned it, I wanted to let you know I also had my first dream with a dolphin (who said he was a guide) as soon as the Amsterdam workshop was announced. I was also taken later to the workshop. Wishful thinking?…yes, but it is going in the right direction. Lucid dreaming techniques can be taught but for dreaming together and being in real energetic worlds rather than projections, one can do with the assistance of such teachers. Dolphins are a probably a safe choice, they are social and loving, they can pick up on our intent to dream together and give us an energetic push if we trust.
The technology was great; being able to see the participants, getting feddback from instructors and other features such as the playing of a live instrument, have contributed to giving a real sense of interactivity to this event; It also makes sense in terms of time and money spent and I guess it will also prove worthwhile for the organizers. But the best aspect I had not foreseen is this:
My previous experience of coming back home after a workshop is often like living a dream to enter another one and it can be a challenge to keep the energy. On the other hand, with this new configuration, one is able to be part of a class in the here and now and also glance at scenes in their own home while still feeling the connection. During the pause, I have gazed at the night sky from my balcony, felt its silence and peace while connecting to all the participants. Now I can look at my room, my balcony and they are still imbued with this energy form the workshop!…this what we can do when dreaming together: bring a piece of ourselves to the whole while we let ourselves be transformed by the whole.
Thank you
Here are some of your comments that you sent to Cleargreen directly, that we are posting here to share with everyone, for us all to enjoy!

Thanks for another wonderful class!
What I wanted to share was, that lying down listening to the flute I felt how my nagging inner dialogue was guided by the notes to another level…deeper, broader and afterwards I felt surrounded by a tickling, dense space. A state I had been loooooooooong ago in childhood. My breathing was regular, deep and my body felt light. The areas of my spinal column at the iliosacral bone and the left shoulderblade tickled. These are exactly areas where I feel pain since two months and now I felt like an energetic current between both areas. Wonderful.
I also felt a feeling of just beeing right as I am, fitting into time and space and doing it right. Thank you

Thanks very much for yesterday´s class. It was an uplifting and beautiful experience!

Dear instructors and all participants to the Dolphin Dreamer webexclass,
Thank you so much for this class and for all the love and support I experienced in it. I now feel that I still have a long way to go before being able to love myself and therefore give love to others since I overflow with selfpity and incessantly blame others for the misery that I myself work so hard for to get into. Nevertheless I trust that the Tensegrity Practicioners all over the earth and so many other wonderfull beings on this planet, will allways be supporting me and teaching me love.
From the depth of my being: Thank you
***
It was wonderful to be connected with everyone, and hear feedback from fellow participants. Thank you for your patience & generosity, and helping us to be more present. I really appreciate these opportunity to connect via the Webex, while I continue to hope that one day I can come to one of the full-length workshops in person!
***
What a delightfull class!! I could see us comunicating with the stars far beyond. It is also a good begining for this year to work with confidence.
Today, after the class, while walking to my groceries and feeling desperetely alone I felt a wave of love, my inner seer told me it was confidence.
***
I want to take the time while it is fresh in my awareness to send you my writings during the course of the class.
First I wrote the names of the instructors, Nyei Murez and Jake Allen.
Next instruction was given to write down things that I do not trust, as many as I can think of, and add in anything about dreaming.
1. I do not trust that eating animals is ok.
2. I do not trust that all humans have positive intent.
3. I do not trust that I can eliminate fear from my dreams.
The second writing instruction was to list what happens to our bodies, or how we feel when we experience or think about the things we do not trust.
1. My insides tighten up, I feel woozy, somewhat repulsed.
2. My thought process freezes up, my thinking looses clarity, my energy level drops.
3. I want to get away or go to someplace safe and comfortable, I loose dreaming cognition.
Writing instruction was then given to list things which you do trust. Because I could not think of things immediately, I built off of my first three listings.
1. I trust I am getting closer to a diet that is optimal for me, which will help me heal and produce positive energy and intent.
2. I trust that all humans have the potential to create positive intent.
3. I trust that lucid dreaming is extremely beneficial to people in many ways and forms.
The last writing instructions were to view what we had written, and list how anything had changed throughout the course of the class.
1. When I deeply reflect on the idea of people consuming animals, I concede that, in moderation, most things that seem real bad are probably not so terrible.
2. I sincerely hope that the groundwork which has been laid out for this style of connective learning through online classes via cameras, voice, and especially text chat, will continue to be available as a means for me to further myself on my Toltec path. I stress the importance of text chat because it is so different from communication through talking, in that it gives everybody a much larger time frame to receive, review, and respond to the ideas presented.
3. My last thoughts had to do with breathing, because I know from practicing Tensegrity on my own, first from the Magical Passes book, then from the DVDs, that breathing is so essential to proper practice. Because of this, in future workshops I would love to see creative methods to really teach us when we are supposed to be inhaling, and when we are supposed to be exhaling. Building from that, another thing I have learned from this class and from watching the DVDs is that when I have a frontal view of a practitioner, along with a view from the back, the learning for me is much easier because I do not have any guesswork on which side or direction I am supposed to be moving.
It is not possible to express in words how grateful I am that something like this is finally available to me, as I have been looking for something like this since I started reading Castaneda in 2001. Feel free to post this writing. Thank you infinite times over.

Thank you so much for the class!!
Amazing mood of lightness and joy….. I felt very powerfull doing the pecking form in the Dolphin mood, beautiful!!!
Only last week I have decided to stop the job I was doing and tomorrow will find out what exactly I am going to do (I´ve been feeling a bit worried of some of my bosses reaction´s when I tell them tomorrow!). I’ve been holding so many judgements regarding trust, such a negative enrgy…. Today, after the pass I’ve felt relaxed, not angry at all, I can see the whole situation with more detachment, everybody in a rush, tense, with so much to do, there is nothing personal towards me really. I need to leave, but not need to be angry, I can be grateful to the team for giving me the oportunity to learn so much. I feel confident and I wish them the best, and of course, I will help if/when needed. And as for myself, new doors will open, I’m sure of that!

With you I’m always closer to the stars. Thank you all!
Dear dreamers who shared this class,
The connection to each other about this far distance was there and the impact of practice of the Magical Passes with all of you was and is still tangibly.
After practicing the Dolphin’s form, when we remained seated on the chair (or laying down on the mats), and went into silence together for a moment, I felt a strong flow of energy in my body. Two days before, I had an acupuncture treatment and also felt a flow of energy inside my body, but this flow was so much stronger and I was so grateful for the practice of the Magical Passes at that moment.
Then, Sunday night (just after the class which here in Europe ended at 9 p.m.), I dreamt that I met Nyei and I was telling her this observation I just described and she answered that this is a special aspect, and that I should become a doctor. “No, no” I said. “I will (train with you to) become an instructor of the Magical Passes.”
We had a parallel Skype translation while listening to the classes and although there were some technical problems and echoes, and my dialog was telling me that I don’t understand what was said, a part of me understood everything, although not with my ears. I realised that we have more possibilities than the ones I am conscious about, to “hear” or “assimilate” what is said!
And another point was that Nyei said just the words I need to hear, to calm my current inner state of being: That we dreamers need to cultivate trust, in ourselves, in others and in the spirit. These words literally soothe my heart and I am telling them to myself over and over again. And the same is valid for her advice to be kind with ourselves.
En general, through the dreaming practice, I feel my physical body becoming stronger and my view is softer now. I am marvelling at everything I see, when I step out of the door of my house in the morning… and on the other hand, I become more receptive of my own and others thoughts, react stronger towards them, and this turns out to be a real challenge in my interactions and I feel a necessity to act with more sobriety, to assume the responsibility for my answers, and not to react. It is an ongoing endeavour and practice, completely exiting!
Thank you, Cleargreen and all female and male cohorts, for being there.
Amazing mood exubearating from these dolphins!!!–always smiling, always cheerful, daring, swift, fluid, humorous and funny!! And their kindness is soo touching! Thank you amazing dolphins!
Sense of crisp clarity started from the class and on. It was also accompanied by sense of slight energetic burning translated as higher than usual reactivity/irritabillity in the daily world. Upon examining how this energy feels i felt it resembled the effect of the heat series. Then while doing the pass, i feel how the dolphin pass actually does activate the left and right bodies in an alternate way, mixing them for dreaming most probably. I couldn’t stop marveling at how unique, magical and multilayered the magical passes are! In addition, while tunning into the Dolphin constalation while touching both wrists it seems to me that i see my dolphin-tail :) Then when we swang it swiftly left and right again i felt it activating left and right body.
Dreamwise at night i still haven’t succeeded to dream by will after the class so i set this intent durring the day by acting/feeling as if i were in a dream. This consist mostly of two things for me: 1.moving the attention from item to item (moving away from an item as soon as mental chatter starts to appear), where item can be any immediate perception; 2.silently feeling the buzzing of the energy body, bringing this so typical feature of awakened dreaming into the daily world.
At night i start to place attention into what the Nagual called ‘restful vigil’ while falling asleep. I feel it helps to bring the wakeful state into the dream. It has been awhile i haven’t had an awakened-dreaming-body dream and instead i have these endless, strange “mission-dreams” that go on for hours where in situations of great danger i cross with these other people all kinds of terrain…in complete consciousness but from a ‘logic’ only proper to the dream/mission–i am amazed how in such a dream i’d virtually know the position of EVERY house in the given dream city, even helping others to get though the dangerous parts. These are very structured and organised dreams but i consider them ‘ordinary’ because they don’t have the unmistakable electric feel of the energy body and crisp, awakened state and its purpose.
It is this crisp awakened state i intend and wish to recall and explore and in this explorations the light and fluid dreaming of the other dolphins is VERY inspiring to me-thank you!!
Something magical is happening
I was apprehensive going to the Dolphin Dreaming class at the Cleargreen studio. Part of me wanted to stay at home and do the class from the safety of my apartment. But another part of me knew this was an opportunity too good to miss. And what did I have to lose?
At the class, I felt a familiar urge to feel uncomfortable and ill at ease. I have been tracking this habit and now I recognize it. I distracted myself by shifting my gaze around the room, noticing texture in the wall paint or how the floorboards joined together. I tried not to look at the other practitioners. I knew this would bring an avalanche of ‘Look at me! Look at me!’
Practicing the magical passes, a feeling of well-being grew within me and, as we lay on the mats it expanded and energized my whole being.
Outside in the sunlit area chosen for our gazing, I closed my eyes, listened to the swaying trees and touched the ground beneath me. I felt expansive, at ease, connected.
When the time came to go back inside, I noticed two men standing nearby. I felt the urge to stare at them and feel embarrassed and guilty for being there.
Instead, I gazed at the metal stairway in front of me, noticing the intricate patterns the red rust made with the white paint. I felt the cool handrail as I deliberately climbed the stairs and the touch distracted me. The urge to feel uncomfortable was forgotten.
Inside, I felt I was among beings who meant me no harm and wanted the best for me. I was sure my being at the class this day was a good thing.
After the class, I heard one of the practitioners relate a dream he had featuring the Nagual Carlos Castaneda. They were together and the Nagual was talking to him. The practitioner felt he should be somewhere else, doing something more appropriate to ‘dreaming’. The Nagual urged him to look at his surroundings, ‘Something magical is happening’. Encouraged by the Nagual’s suggestion, he studied the building in front of him. He noticed the paint and the brickwork and saw details he had missed before. “The magic is right here!” he said. I noticed how relaxed he was. His blue eyes shone and his voice conveyed a feeling of wonder and awe.
I got home feeling spacey and not quite myself. Maybe a nap would straighten me out. But first, a quick walk.
As I walked, I went over the events at the studio but was interrupted by the sight of white-pink flowers on the sidewalk. I looked up and saw a tree in full bloom, covered in small white flowers with pink centers. Four birds chattered as they hopped from branch to branch, dipping their beaks in the blossoms. ‘Something magical is happening’ popped into my head as I enjoyed the scene – the flowers made a striking contrast with the bright blue sky. I turned to continue my walk and wondered if the phrase ‘Something magical is happening’ was a message from the Nagual. Just then, a crow flew out of a tall palm tree disturbing a large frond and causing it to crash into the trees below.
I thought how it may be a good idea to think that something magical was happening. How life might be richer.
I gazed at an apartment building across the street, noticing the color of the walls, the iron staircase – details I had glossed over in previous walks. A pair of cyclists approached on the footpath. My initial urge was to stand my ground in righteous indignation – cyclists on MY footpath? How dare they!
But I stepped aside and let them pass. The second cyclist, a teenage boy, gave me a thumbs up sign as he cycled by.
Starting for home, I wondered about the name of the flowering tree. There was a young woman standing on the footpath, smoking a cigarette and looking in at a house. I followed her gaze and saw a large white rabbit nibbling grass on the front lawn. I asked if this was her rabbit? “No” she replied, “I’m just standing here looking at him for some reason”.
I saw some trees with the same flowers from earlier. They were younger trees with fewer flowers but someone had tied tags around the trunks giving their name: Flowering Plum (images: http://www.google.com/images?q=flowering+plum)
Something magical is happening.
Thank you, magical beings!
Gerard. (click, click, click!)

Gee, that’s really pleasant Gerard.
A fellow whale-wayfarer posted this on our Tensegrity forum- a well known medium who makes contact with C.G. Jung recently received this message from him:
C.G: “Dreams are like fish, they are like a whale. If you do not trust in them, they cannot lead you, because humans fear the water. They always want to come back up to the surface. To breathe.
Dreams are like dolphins, or whales.
When a person trusts in them, he learns to breathe under water. And they lead him into a new realm. A realm of a reality, known by fish, but which humans have lost, and long for.
But the Reason always says to humans: „Here is suffocation! You can’t go there! You will die!“
With dreams and the relationship to dreams, humans can find their relationship with their real love, with all that lives/ All Life.
And when they have this love for all life, THE FEAR ABOUT ONE’S OWN LIFE DISAPPEARS. And then begins the trust that Life, Aliveness, will save them – that they do not need to save themselves“.

CG: “Träume sind wie Fische, sie sind wie ein Wal. Wenn man nicht Vertrauen in sie hat, können sie einen nicht dorthin führen, weil der Mensch hat Angst vor dem Wasser.
Er will immer wieder an die Oberfläche. Atmen. Träume sind wie Delfine, oder Wale.
Wenn der Mensch Vertrauen hat in sie, dann lernt er unter Wasser zu atmen. Und sie führen ihn in ein anderes Reich. Das Reich einer Wirklichkeit,
die sie selber kennen ( eingefügt, die Fische), die der Mensch verloren hat, nach dem er sich sehnt.
Aber der Verstand, sagt dem Menschen immer: „Hier ist Erstickung! Du kannst dort nicht hin gehen! Du wirst sterben!
An den Träumen und der Beziehung zu den Träumen, kann der Mensch die Beziehung zu seiner eigentlichen Liebe, zu allem Lebendigen erkennen.
Und wenn er die Liebe zum Lebendigen hat, hört diese ANGST UM DAS EIGENE LEBEN auf. Und es beginnt das Vertrauen, dass das Lebendige ihn rettet – und nicht er sich selbst retten muss”.
Dreaming has been a journey of exploration and of consistency. The exploration continues. Some of the main points of my experiences have been making sure there is a clear transition from daily activity to getting ready to sleep. Candle gazing, stone gazing, or doing mapping and dreaming passes get the body ready for dreaming.
Am keeping a dream log and have come up with short cuts so that I am not waking myself up during the night. I haven’t made the transition to recording my dreams.
I write large so I can read it the next day. I find that the activity during the day may influence my dreams. Not eating too late at night, going out to charged night time activity, like an action movie will interfere with the dream. It has been rare but exciting dreams that have made me aware of the dream emissaries, the energy body, and of having control while in the dream state. Those worlds have made me open up to what happens in the first attention. The blending of first and second attention states has been joyous and amazing. Catching a glimpse of the third attention was brief but introducing me to what is possible. I say thank you to my dreams and treat them like my family. I love them and hold them dear to my heart. I ask them to further exploration and that I am ready. I have found my energy has risen and I am getting alot done because I am realizing that I don’t have all the time in the world. I have made space in my bedroom and have taken alot of pictures off the walls and make it a place to sleep and dream and not an entertainment center. This seems to help falling to sleep easier. I have also found that the more I recapitulate the deeper I go into dreaming and I feel there is a connection between having energy to dream and moving about in my daily life. The more fluid I am the more fluid I am in the dream state. It has been fun but I am also serious and dedicated to my new dreaming friends and allies. Love to all you dolphin dreamers! Click! Click!
Love to you Geri! Inspiring how you say thank you to your dreams and treat them like family. “Keep on Singing, Keep on Dreaming…From the Rainbow Bridge!”
Thanks for posting Dream The Rainbow Bridge!!!
