I Just Had a Serpentine Synchronicity!

Probably precipitated by one of those 2:00 AM emotional episodes that my Lady hasn't demonstrated in some years now (a need for reassurance builds to a head, fears, tears, a need to talk, sheesh. Why does it always happen at 2:00 AM?) Anyway, back to bed at 3:30 AM and it seems that until 7:30 or 8:00 AM, I had nightmares about snakes! Now, I do not have a phobia about snakes, even though rattlesnakes have been seen in my area and a neighbor was bitten on the leg in his yard. Nevertheless, in my dreams I was back in my childhood room and some variation of my current home, and long, slender, ostensibly baby rattlesnakes kept showing up in clothing drawers, closet and bedding!
The most bizarre aspect was a stage of snake development in which the serpents were transparent light blue (like those clear plastic tubes of freezable blue liquid that kids drink) and glowing like a huge glow-worm. At one point I was cursing out my Lady while she was in her car for not riding over several of these six foot monsters as they slithered down the street in front of my childhood home (I often regress to this location during stress) towards me in very threatening manner. Unlike the Tibetan symbol of a Cock (rooster) as the symbol for lust which I posted on recently, the Western serpentine symbol asserted itself, replete with the fearfulness of a deadly foe.
Because of the emotional interlude, I did not wake up at 7:30 (Tuesday I'll need to start getting up at 6:00 AM again for the following 10 months). Rose came into the bedroom before beginning work and she said: "There seems to be a little sidewinder...or a slender worm on the floor. It moves like a snake." WTF?! I jumped up (there are no sidewinder rattlesnakes in Florida) and just outside the bedroom door there WAS a tiny wriggling black snake which I've found in the house before (once, one was dried up in a circle [Ouroboros] in front of our devotional table).
Not only was this outer reality of a snake immediately recognized as being acausally connected to my inner dreams, but the tiny snake outside the bedroom door was also right in front of a piece of sculpture on the wall - two winged serpentine dragons in a circle - tail to mouth, Ouroborically - with a red and white silk rose that I affixed, in the middle of which is a printed copy of The Emerald Tablet of Hermes Trimegistus! Synchronicity! Symbols! Serpents! Sssssss! Half of last night's precipitating interlude was about Sex. The other half was about Romance. Can anyone guess to which pole of these opposite emphases each of us argued for? Well, here's a clue: I wasn't dreaming about hearts and flowers!

isnt it funny how humans come to eachother for different things, like man and woman. Why on earth do we go to other peopole to fulfill our needs, after all only we ourselves can know what we want. I think overall its a lack that has been ingrained in us by society. We are taught that we lack sex (connection) and that we lack romance (meaning). we stifile these things in ourselves, then go to other people for them. The irony is.. the people we find lack these things as well, setting up a perpetual cycle of unsatisfaction. My point is, sex and romance, in a deeper meaning are two things this society does not contain. I think markos thats why you saw this, the universe right now is trying to deal with this perpetual lack we create. i call it a microcosm effect. The same thing happened to me earlier when someone was arguining for science, but me and a friend both utterly disproved his points. The same thing is happening on a larger scale as well. More people are waking up to reality now. Anyways, just my two cents. SM

I've had dreams about black bears the same nights that they come onto my land and left prints this year Waking up, jarred from the dream, and stepping outside and seeing their tracks is weird stuff.

IMHO synchronicity is the tip of the iceberg, when it comes to understand how this universe, this reality, organizes its information. Like secretmachine said, there's a microcosm effect, where, i believe, all information and energy is stored and shared.
At the beginning, the time of unity, all energy and matter where stored in a single place. All electrons and protons where united, and even after the expansion of the universe, they continue to be connected at the most microscopic, atomic and quantum level. We reintegrate a part of Jesus, a part of Krishna, and part of Gandhi, as nothing is really created, but transformed.
I think synchronicity is a part of such sharing and such transformation. They connect us in a way we probably can't objectively understand, but we can feel it.

Many myths describe the emergence of duality from Unity, "...male and female created He them...," from the Genesis account, the original spherical human cut in half in the Platonic myth, each half seeking its other half for perfect wholeness, Shiva and Shakti as male and female aspects of God, etc. Even though the opposites are contained in each other, a certain 'enactment' needs to take place in space-time - the most obvious realm of duality.
The Sex-Romance duality is best symbolized in our relationship by the glyph of the Kabbalistic Tree of Life. We see the map, but often fail to 'connect' as you suggested was the sexual aspect. That is the predicament - I see Sex as connection and she sees Romance as connection. In our map, 'Yesod' is Sex (Sphere 9) and 'Tiphereth' is Harmony or Romance (Sphere 9). Both spheres and the Path between them constitute the 'Sacred Marriage' while too much identification with either pole prevents connection. How many couples sit in their cars, lost, with map in hand, arguing. Same principle, different level, and Knowing the map doesn't always translate into reaching one's destination without difficulties on the way. Thanks for considering the situation.

I think that St. Paul's "...in Christ [Logos] we live and move and have our being...," speaks to the living, conscious nature of Reality. Just as matter is energy existing at lesser energetic states, at cooler, slower vibratory states, it all is transformed from the Divine Source into denser, less aware aspects of the Divine Source, God, Pure Awareness). So I'd have to say that creation IS occurring constantly, novelty is occurring and there is a purpose, a teleology that we're all participating in, even if we don't know the particularities. Generally, I believe that it's all about making everything more conscious, more truthful, more honest. Without purpose, without meaning, what is the point of transformation? The question is, what is the Divine Purpose that we unwittingly participate in? Synchronicities have always given me a momentary boost out of the mundane and into the Supra-mundane world above linear time. I might not understand, but I'm usually awe-struck!

well being a loner myself i delved into both of these issues in my own mind (sex and romance) and after figuring it out i have no desire for relationships anymore.. i acknowledge the desire, and it seems satisfied at that. romance is alot more interesting, finding that part of life that is magical feeling is great when it happens. so far i only get bits and pieces of it.. but when it happens dang.. its like floating on a cloud. my own view of life is its a balance too though.. i cant have the whole pie, i have to have both sides of the coin. Connection is something ive felt on mushrooms alot though. That feeling that everything is as it should be.
