Matt,

Meditative visions are pretty common, especially in the zone between awake and asleep. Much like we don’t need to chase down thoughts, we don’t need to figure out what visions mean. Energetically, consider them more like breathing. As energy pours through the third eye, many things come in. The goal though isn’t to “see the future” or “see the hidden symbology”, rather, it’s to see.

From a different angle, imagine the breath. When we breathe in, we don’t hold the breath and try to get all of the oxygen, we just pull it in and cycle it out. The transfer happens automatically, we don’t have to grasp or cling. The same is with visions. As they arrive, greet them with a smile, and as they leave, greet them with a smile. Grabbing at them, trying to find meaning in them, validating our spiritual development from them (or other moments of synchronization, such as the elevator and such), then we actually create that seran wrap across our view. We try to look for the meaning, prove our meaning, and in other ways get so busy thinking about where to look that we ignore where we are.

Consider perhaps trying some metta meditation. When we do metta, the mind clears and becomes smooth. Then we can aim our vision at a worthy goal, so instead of waiting for some hope or a symbol to guide us, our vision becomes the light of the hope and guidance we seek. Said differently, perhaps as you learn to nourish your third eye a little more tenderly, the seran wrap will melt and your creativity will be more “in the moment” instead of “late to the party”. Consider “Sharon Salzburg guided metta meditation” on YouTube if interested.

I don’t mean to denounce the meaning behind the visions, there is sometimes something there worth seeing, some tie into something. I don’t see that, though. As my teacher told me, “the important meaning is that you’re open, not the actual visions. Keep practicing. ” 🙂

With warmth,
Matt

Hey there, well this is my understanding of what you wrote.

i guess your images could mean that a person/situation (probably about to happen), seemingly gentle now, will nonetheless bring you a great deal of inner turmoil and force you to look outside, everywhere for some answers. However, you are going to experience being overwhelmed and washed away by it while doing your best to maintain yourself, keep a protected circle of answers. It is a time of resistance to change.

However, this is just my limited understanding of a much bigger, intricate process. Nonetheless, good luck!
