My night life is nearly as active as my day life, but not quite as easy to recall. Last night was all about a presence that seems to oppose freedom and enlightenment.

At one point as I drifted in an altered state, I experienced a lovely vision that I was creating or conceiving of a multi-layered cake (must have been because I watched an episode of Cake Boss yesterday). There were little figures of people being molded to put atop the cake with their arms stretched up in jubilation because they were free and enlightened. It was such a pleasant vision when suddenly the scene was replaced by an image in which the figures were instead kneeling and lying flat on their stomachs in subjugated genuflection of worship and fear. It felt like someone had intentionally written over the top of my vision with a totally opposite scene.

I felt annoyed and I began to surface closer to consciousness. As I did, I saw a figure in my mind's eye, next to my bed, that looked like a spy with fedora and trench coat. It was an inanimate, 2-dimensional figure, more like a symbol than an actual person. It looked a lot like this: I knew it was akin to the phenomenon of the Men in Black.

I didn't feel threatened though. It seemed much more like a paper tiger than anything, and I knew it couldn't hurt me.

Throughout the night I continued to experience the concept of someone or something trying to promote fear and the worship of whatever is "in control". Then as I woke, I heard (clairaudiently), You've received a message from Space Center Johnson (I assume Johnson Space Center/NASA). And with that clue I interpreted that this MIB experience was from whatever passes for the shadow government - or whatever is behind all the greed, corruption, coverups and scaremongering - the antagonist subroutine in the computer program of the game of life.
