Greetings to all.

I am not going to fully explain what I mean by the term "Wanderer". It will resonate if it applies to you.

Here's my story -

Until recently, I have been sleeping the sound, restful sleep of the ignorant.

Sure, as a child there was some strange stuff like -

Feeling disconnected from the world and even at times from my own life, as if I was reading a comic book about a character that just happened to be me

Words in common usage like "the" sounding foreign and weird.

Feeling that I must have been adopted

Looking at printed words on the page and, although able to read far better than my peers at a young age, thinking that the strange markings on the paper were somehow alien, like a fake, made up language

Lucid dreams of flying

As an adult, I have felt a distinct lack of compassion for humanity as a whole. I have seen the injustices, the wars, the greed and the vandalism of the biosphere and found it hard to empathise with a race who's sole purpose (when not forced to concentrate on simply surviving) is to gather and hoard power, resources and wealth.

Although I have no use for the "systems" and "processes" through which you allow yourselves to be controlled and ruled, I have compassion for individuals and a strong sense of justice and civic duty to help those who need it.

I have had powerful, haunting and lucid dreams which foreshadowed the September 11 attacks and wars past and future.

I have had "UFO" sightings of orange and blue orbs in the night sky.

I am consciously anti-social 80% of the time, not wanting to contaminate my psyche with the negativity of the world. Apart from my wife and family, I find normal social and work interactions and the blatant mind games and vying for position that they entail to be draining and below me. In one of those divine dichotomies that we sometimes read about, I tend to take on board the suffering and pain of others as well as other "heavy" emotion. I feel the pain of those that I despise and avoid. Now that ain't fair.

I am not a kook or a conspiracy theorist, so as you can imagine, these contradictions, dreams and strange aerial displays I have witnessed have had me questioning my sanity.

I have recently (last two weeks) started to awaken to my nature and purpose and have determined to my own surprise that I am here to help those that I go out of my way to avoid most of the time. Exactly how I am to help, I do not know, but I trust that the path will be become clearer as I awaken.

I'm sure there are many others like me. It appears that our time is now, so sound off (anonymously if necessary) - if you are just awakening like me, it may make things easier for you if you know you are not alone.

Peace Out.

Ditto to what you say, i have been this way for many many years i thought i was the only one ,i too have these lucid dream but not of flying but of running through darkened cities but not on the ground but on the faces of buildings like spider man would and its such a buzz when this happens i just go faster and faster and faster sometimes on all fours but i am still in human form even the smell lingers at times the dank the death and the darkness .the strange feelings i have dont stop there i concur that all that you have said i to feel so i wont go into that but may seem silly i was in bed stareing at my digital clock and the numbers sort of changed wobbled it made me turn the clock over the numbers looked like alien writing to me and i smiled to myself felt content before i new it it was morning often too i in the front of my mind i see myself on a diistant star/ planet no colour all mono chrome peeking out from behind a square type building but i cannot see what i am looking at we have that lost feeling sensation, that we are waiting for something to transpire, i often think i was born with a twin ,a feeling of detachment follows / the 11:11 time symbal is with us constant maybe we are all just halfwayers waiting to be woken and called upon it is something we cannot and should take lightly you post has opened my mind wider to see other and to remind us people like you and me that this could all be just a dream a matrix we are neither here nor there just maybe at this very moment we are in the eye of the storm where it is quiet peaceful a sense of contentment without regard of the NWO at this time of thought and the rest of the upheavals of our society but eventually we have to come out of this eye of this vicious storm, and head towards the very unknown the world is heading to ,so be aware of your surroudings and assist who you can ,


its just a strange feeling hey

Thank you My Friend. I composed a reply to your message in the U2U system, but I am unable to send it.

Here it is:

Hi MyrTheSeeker,

Thank you for your words. It sounds like mine resonated with you. I am glad. It looks like our time is now and we have awakened for a specific purpose.

Empathy. Yes, that is probably a more accurate term to describe my taking on board of other's emotions. I have not experienced predicting the actions of others, but I often accurately predict world events. I wouldn't call it anything like psychic phenomena though, I always thought it was just good analysis.

It is only in my dreams that I "see" and "experience" things which later come to pass. I mentioned September 11 in my original post.

I'd be very interested in reading your blog. Thanks for the offer.

I am a former soldier and law enforcement intelligence specialist. I was also a practicing survivalist for the last decade.

The years 2005 - 2008 saw me getting more and more disillusioned with the exploitative and confining societal systems we are forced to exist within, to the point that I abandoned my career and armed revolution was an attractive option and one that I planned for along with non-violent "orange" revolution.

I am the last person I would expect to be waking up to a previously unknown existence as a "Warrior of the Light". The Universe has a great sense of humour!

Part of my Awakening has been the realisation that We Are One. That changes things - big time. It hit me like a ton of bricks. I still don't particularly like people, but I cannot ignore part of myself, especially when I feel that part's pain and suffering so acutely. To condemn or judge "others" would be to condemn myself.

The hardest thing to come to terms with I guess is when people do "evil" things. The way I rationalise it is - "no-one ever does anything which is wrong in their model of the Universe". I find this awareness of other's lack of awareness helps when I am dealing with injustice.

My awakening has led to a conscious choice to be a positive influence on the "world". That is why I am here.

It's been great communicating with you MyrTheSeeker, feel free to U2U me any time.

Peace and Light to you my Brother (or Sister) in these strange and exciting times.

Traveller

Well I suppose as you were forced to answer me via this thread, I should at least re-post the U2U that you are rsponding to here, eh?

Here goes:

"Stop describing me so accurately!

I think the word you were looking for when describing the way you experience other's emotions is "empathy", and yes, some of us have it to a degree that we can veritably "predict" what people will do next, or how they will react to any situation. It is a blessing and a burden. I prefer to look at it as the former. I think it is necessary in order to help people -- or to consciously steer them down a better path... Of course there are some to which there is no action that will produce the desired outcome. Simply show compassion for them.

I am an artist. About a week prior to the attacks of 911 I painted (digitally) an image of a city on fire and a tall building toppling over. I chock this one up to coincidence, as the picture was not precise, but it is always on my mind... I don't watch Nascar, but the day before the event, I was discussing an upcoming race and the fact that the crashes are the only interesting part. I don't remember what prompted me to say so, but I jokingly remarked that Dale Earnhardt would die. Take a guess what happened next... I have more recently had an extremely accurate prophetic dream, of an extremely mundane occurance. If you are interested, I will give you a link to my blog entry about it (among other dream related material). The dream and the prophecy are absolutely uninteresting, but the accuracy of the dream was absolute -- like deja vu, but in the wrong order.

Anyhow, I'm sure there are infinite similarities between us, but I will wrap it up for now.

I think I know what you mean by the term "wanderer". I have heard it used to describe beings that are incarnate here, not because they are advancing through the earthly realm, but because they have decided to return to this realm in order to lend a hand in these trying times. While I have no knowledge of my past at this point, I at least know where you are coming from, and each day I awaken a little bit more, and resolve a little more strongly to be kind to those around me, to cease being judgemental, and to be the catalyst for the change that I would like to see.

I look forward to future conversations"

Oh, and here is a link to my blog regarding Lucid Dreaming, if anyone is interested:

I too can relate to this as well. Everything you listed; I must be a traveler as well. Onto the subjects of dreams though; Ive been having really distressing dreams lately; has anyone else? In my dreams not only is everything vivid; but the emotions feel even more real if that makes sense.

For the last say 6 months I have been having many dreams of the same event but from the perspective of many different people. I still haven't figured out what the event completely is but I can tell by what I see that it is devastating to society; people are dying or running/fleeing from the cities for safety in the woods/mountains.

When I'm having these dreams there is a sense of duality as well, like I am the normal me of my dreams as well as the body I am inhabiting except that I also don't realize that I am the real me in the body I inhabit (Kind of Difficult to explain). But I can feel and sense the real fear and agony of all these people running from whatever is happening. The dreams are so powerful that it actually leaves me in a state of depression for the first hour or two of the morning.

I get a real feeling that we are approaching something that will be such a huge change that it would be like our existence phasing into the next existence in line. (Like a new day/understanding) And I fear that whether this change is ultimately good or bad depends on us; the ones who are waking up. Evil has had centuries to prepare but I have a feeling that Earth/Galaxy has a few more tricks up her sleeves; Part of which clearly involves the fact that so many of us are waking up/becoming enlightened etc. Perhaps we are the Saviors we are waiting for?

I too like most of you have a strong connection to the galaxy and a strong sense of justice. What I have come to believe is that everything in the universe is one creature or entity. And that "God" is the connection between us.

Glad to know I am not the only Wanderer.
