Shadowland

I'm a shadow, but you knowI'm the one who loves you so So please, take my hand And lead me out of shadowland And lead me out of shadowland (K.D. Lang, Shadowland)
I'm currently on a quasi-vacation right now, a simulation of a real vacation. I need a real vacation but c'est la vie, they call me the working man and that's what I am (a lyric from the song, you guessed it: Working Man). 
But anyway, it's been an annual tradition to make a family convergence in California, so here I am as I write this. In 2009 we actually got together early in the year around the beginning of January, and I witnessed a shadow person in one of the rooms. All the lights were off in that room, but the shadow person was even darker than the darkness of the room. It was momentary, and it was gone. There was stuff going on there. I did a hungry-ghost feeding rite under the tree of the inner yard, and even installed a small talisman in that room.
After a renovation of the room about a year after that, the talisman got lost; the workers took it or threw it away, and it was seen no more.  Lots of things have been happening here, which I won't get into, but early morning after midnight of August 25, 2012, which was just yesterday, I was sleeping, and had a dream in realtime (i.e., I was dreaming that I was lying in bed in the dark room, sleeping) of a shadow person emerging from near the sofa area, and approaching the side of my bed.  Its presence evoked a loud sound from me, I articulated something which I can't recall, but I gave it a magickal implement which had the effect that simultaneously had my better half wake me up, because I was shouting in my sleep. 

In the realtime dream, I had tossed the magickal implement to the shadow person, lightly enough so that it could be virtually "caught." The implement was a magickal bowl. I realized it represented the bowl I had used for the hungry-ghost rite, so it was desiring some kind of pacification, some kind of help. So I practiced for a hyperdimensional bowl that would keep on producing nourishment, under that tree in the inner yard.  And I didn't notice it till the next day, but above that sofa is a hanging illustration, which had never been there before in our previous visits, of something that looks like a shadow person. Here is the picture: ShadowlandThe shadow people from shadowland are resonating with fields that are slowly but surely bringing betterment by way of cosmic telos, and at the same time, their presence, their sudden shadowperson-ophany, bespeak of specific fields that are present.  Do not keep fading, shadow people.  Bliss awaits.
