One of Chris's recent "photos from the canal" looked like Pennywise to me ( click to see her photo).





And that brought up a synchronicity for me because I had recently dreamed of this clown and OMJ had used the pic below as an avatar recently.





Which came first the chicken or the egg, I don't know for sure. But I think I saw OMJ's pic first which may have prompted my dream. But anyway, here is the dream in form of a chat with OMJ (Jim). I start by describing my first thoughts when I woke that morning:

(07:49:37 AM) Alisa: I got the name Finwe and saw the clown pic you sometimes use and at about the same time I saw a huge wolf eye.
(07:50:03 AM) Alisa: I felt this was the being communicating with me. And it wasn't until I woke up and thought about it for a minute that I realized -- Hey, that's all about Jim!
(07:50:15 AM) Jim: Wow. cool o.o
(07:51:09 AM) Alisa: In the dream, it was like a mix of some time periods. Seems some were a hundred or two years ago. It was a flowing, fast paced story line (if you can call it a story line). Maybe more like a stream of related images. Anyway,
(07:52:50 AM) Alisa: Anyway, I was viewing this man sitting in an office. It seemed set not quite in the present. Anyway, looking at this man when suddenly I see a small spray hit him like a bit of water. But it is blood.
(07:54:02 AM) Jim: Ooer. o.o
(07:54:14 AM) Alisa: As I keep looking at him, the spray gets larger/more. And his eyes widen in shock. I realize he is somehow being murdered and I turn around to see the clown. But he looks very scary (welll, he does anyway, doesn't he) and somewhat alien.
(07:54:41 AM) Jim: Lol! freaky
(07:54:45 AM) Alisa: Then I see a woman who also works in the office. She is a black woman. The clown is approaching her. (I have this strange multi-perspective, multi-character things going on).
(07:55:49 AM) Alisa: She cottons on just before the clown is about to do her in and she stabs him through the hand with a long thin skewer thing. It goes through his white gloved hand. But his hands aren't quite like human, more thick like a cartoon hand drawing (don't know what that has to do with anything... anyway...)
(07:57:08 AM) Alisa: So the clown looks only very slightly surprised at the skewer thing and yet not at all
(07:58:19 AM) Alisa: put off. He just makes quick work of twisting her head in the middle like an egg-shaped egg timer and her eyes are facing at a 45 degree angle to her jaw. If that makes sense. And then it is like he puts it on display, like a freaky science thing under glass.
(07:58:32 AM) Alisa: He fears nothing and I get the idea that nothing can stop him.
(07:58:44 AM) Jim: weird. o.o
(07:59:19 AM) Alisa: I can't remember all the rest enough to make a coherent story of it, but that was around when I woke up and saw the large wolf eye and then got the Finwe name. And I felt a powerful entity was showing me these things and that it was revealing my fear to me.
(07:59:39 AM) Jim: And what was your fear?
(08:00:20 AM) Alisa: As I got up and make coffee, etc., I noticed the song in my head "run away, run away from the pain..." by Aerosmith (Janey's got a gun song). I don't really like the song or group, but messages come to me in any form of music. Oh, and what was the fear? That is a good question. I have been asking
(08:01:25 AM) Alisa: for help lately with some of my deep-seated problems. And I believe the answer is that many of my problems are my way of running away from pain and fear of pain. The dream clown represented fear, slaughter and amusement at slaughter (no mercy). This must be my fear. I mean this generalized.
(08:01:46 AM) Jim: Aah
(08:01:53 AM) Jim: the fear of inhumanality
(08:02:11 AM) Alisa: Could be culmination of past life things, etc. And even knowing this does not solve my problems. And Yes, good point, fear of inhumanity. And you are so wise.
(08:02:40 AM) Alisa: Oh, and I think that the spirit helping me was you. Or it seems so.
(08:03:00 AM) Jim: As *spirit* is always commenting on things I read and do, that I question anyway,
(08:03:12 AM) Jim: maybe you feel your drifting away from your humanity, from your human form,
(08:03:26 AM) Jim: and subcontiously fear what may lay ahead for you, out of humanity.
(08:03:35 AM) Alisa: OMG. Wow.
(08:03:49 AM) Jim: I suppose the clown would represent inhumanity. Slaughtering, enjoyment of it ect.
(08:03:55 AM) Alisa: Yes.
(08:04:03 AM) Jim: and the office and people would represent the human enviroment you feel so enclosed by
(08:04:15 AM) Jim: or, unable to escape
(08:04:16 AM) Alisa: Are you a psychiatrist on the side or something?
(08:04:22 AM) Jim: Lol
(08:04:26 AM) Jim: maybe?
(08:04:45 AM) Alisa: Excellent ideas and interps. And I think they are accurate. And they have opened a new path for me to think about. I appreciate it very much.

As always, your dreams are highly graphic and detailed Alisa.
I only ever remember a snippet of mine.

I noticed immediately the name you were given 'Finwe', is a name given to an Elven character in the book "The Simarillion" by J.R.Tolkien (Lord of the Rings).

I am not a dream analyst, so I am not even going to try to interpret it. OMJ has done a job for you there
But it is chock full of interesting info for you.

Keep them coming.

Thanks for that, Chris! Interesting about the Finwe name. It is a name I learned from Jim, and I didn't know it was from Lord of the Rings. But that is yet synchronistic (IMO) to the topic from yesterday where we discussed the spirit writing that shows up in photos. And the Elvish language you referred to.

The threads that link everything are popping up everywhere I look it seems.

Yep, I had already thought about that one!

Fascinating, fascinating, deep thought provocation.

To be honest down to the level most lawers couldent get to, I got the name 'Finwe' off an elvish name translator. The whole name was 'Finwe Celebrindal', so yeah. Me and a group of friends call each other by our elvish names (We like the way they sound), and thats where I got the name Finwe from.

Me and Alisa where discussing a picture of me, that seemed to have brought up maybe a second form of myself, A cloaked, hooded figure. With some ajusting, we even got what looked like the muzzle of a dog or wolf, but anyway, I told her the hood and everything reminded me of the ring wraiths in 'Lord of the Rings', and the refferance to the elvish language tied it in (Lord of the Rings containing elves and all).

Spirits seem to work like nature itself, it seems. Every little detail wrapped around and coiled with another, and another ect. Like a huge net of spiritual realisation.

I can post the image at some point if you wish?

Freaky photo, Chris! Cats eyes in nostrils.

And thanks for the background on the name, OMJ. Had to bring it up because of the synchronicities you see. And I love the way you describe it:


Yes, post your filtered photo. There is definitely validity to filtering photos to bring out the subtle details. I believe that firmly and find filtering can reveal just as much as examining photos up close. And as if I need to say it, forensic science uses filter algorithms to reveal details for identification (like license plates for example) in fuzzy film and photos ( here is an example and another ).

Oh, and one more clown synchronicity...chatting with Jim today, he brought up some lyrics to a song I hadn't heard of called Mr. Writer. I looked it up. Good song... and Chockfulla clowns! Big time!

I would also like to see the image OMJ.

I have several, all of different filters, or combinations. Here is the one Alisa done for me:



Next is an edit that males the original clearer:



This one has a filter called 'Hot Wax' on.



And my favourite. I cant remember what the filter's called, but:



The thing I adore about this one, is the several eyes that are visable in the picture, and, in the window, what looks like an interdimentional door. Funnily enough, I've had some spirit expieriences by that window.

Cooool. Thanks for sharing them!

The original is of course a photograph of your face with a window behind with various filters then applied. Want to explain more of what you see or interpret? Or you can just leave it up to the viewer.

I did think the original photo was one of someone, outside a house, but now Alisa has clarified that one

It would have been interesting OMJ, to see the original before you applied the filters, but each filter process adds a different slant to the shot and I like that.

Each shot feels like looking into a different dimension.

If you are up for it, a fuller explanation of what you see and feel would benefit the photos and the viewers greatly

Thanks in anticipation.

Okay, I shall give a fuller explination, afterwhich, I may post the original!

In the first picture, I see the waves (Created my electromagnetic feilds in interdimentionality, so Alisa tells me), around the hood, which hangs down to where the collar bones would be, and then flows over the shoulders in a top-like way, probably part of a robe or somthing. Inside, I see an upside down triangle, which covers half of a dogs head. On the left top side of the hood, I see an eye, staring out. The triangle I have seen before in ghosts. I have seen ghosts coloured in, and I believe they're different to spirits. They're always coloured in electric blue and neon red. The head, and rest of the body is electric blue, accept for a part of the face which is red, with a triangle, much like the one in the first picture, infront of it, coloured electric blue. In the window, I see what looks like a doorway, of several layers behind one another.

In the second, I see what was in the first, but in more '3D' detail. The dog's head is more prominent, and the triangle peice is still there, though it camouflages in with the dogs head. The doorway in the window also looks more 3D and in line, like a tunnel.

The third, I see everything in the first and second, yet a red blobs infront of it, almost covering it. I see an eye inside of the hood, raindrop shaped, though the pupil inside is perfectly round. I believe this to be my 'minds eye', and explains why I can see many spirits with my own eyes. I also see another eye on the hood, in the same place as on the first, though it is more in view, more 3D, and is staring diagonally up into its corner. The doorway in the window I see is even MORE 3D now, almost looking like a worm hole, folding inwards.

In the fourth, I see both eye in the hood, and on the hood well, though the triangle peice is gone, leaving only black space, and hundreds of white squiggles. Though looking closely reveals the dog's head again. There is an eye I see also to rhe left on the wall, about center. The doorway in the window looks great to, with lots of lines, I believe, accenting the many layers we can see through the door, like membranes.

And now I shall post the original, before any edits have been made, by either me or third parties:



This photo was taken around afternoon with my webcam, the contrast set right down.

Thanks for the explanation, OMJ. It is so interesting and compels me to look at other photos (including of myself) this way to see if it reveals something!
