Buddhist Monastery – Dual Airport – Flight Lieutenant – Dream 27-01-2025

~ quantumdreamer ~ 1 Comment

This dream from between 2 and 4 AM.

The dream starts in the refectory area of a Buddhist monastery. I am wearing one of my white collarless shirts which is slightly open in the front. My hair is fresh from a recent buzz cut and I am clean shaven. Everyone is sat on the floor on a cushion with a Tali style platter of Indian food in front of them. We all have roti and a small bowl of rice.

The land around the monastery is very mountainous. There is little vegetation and a glacial melt stream / river. There are rocks strewn widely. It is dry.

The monks are wearing largely maroon colour robes and I know them to be of a Tibetan inspired Vajrayana lineage. I am sat in front of the room facing in. The monks are all asking me questions. The atmosphere is cheerful and light.

Sat next to me is a young woman dressed in a lay robe. She has very short black hair and is of an Indian colouring. Her English is impeccable and I know that she is also a Flight Lieutenant in the Indian Air Force. There is a sense of latent royalty or nobility to her. She is very respectful.

The monks keep asking me questions, they do not want me to go.

Eventually I plead my goodbyes and together with the officer head off in an open top jeep to the airport. The airport has a civilian and a military entrance. We go in via the military one, she gets a salute. The airport has a dual purpose.

We pull up next to a Cessna two seater propeller driven plane. I am to fly us out with her as a co-pilot. The night has started to fall and there is an incoming mist. I say to the woman that I am not confident that I could fly out of there. She agrees that I do not have the experience and that it would be dangerous.

She offers to drive me back to the monastery and I accept. I am welcomed and know that because the weather is closing in, I might be here for a few more days. The monks are happy with this.

The dream ends.

As I come to, I am reminded of Leh airport in Ladakh which on a quick Google search is due a second runway to enhance its military capabilities. The civilian airport is called Leh Kushok Bakula Rinpoche Airport. The online images of which are mostly consistent with the dream

Boscombe Down – Rocks – Café -Airport Dream 08-01-2024

This dream was between 2 and 4 AM.

I am with my wife we are walking up a grassy ridge overlooking a wooded slope on one side and a grassy slope the other. We are at/on explicitly Boscombe Down. The weather is warm and sunny. She is behind me and she has her right hand holding the belt of my trousers in the middle of my back. I am helping her with the incline. There is a sense of slight danger on the ridge which she feels more than me. We summit and then descend a path to a visitor centre. As we pass through the courtyard a man who works for the National Trust asks us where we are from.

I say that we are currently from France but in reality, I am from all sorts of different places starting with, in this lifetime, Cardiff. I then reel off the list of places I have lived including Bristle {with west country accent}, The Isa, Kabwe and Gravesend. He thanks us and we pass through heading to a village.

As we walk down hill we pass a wooded cliff face. From this rocks start to fall onto the bitumen road. They fall all around us but none of them hit us. We are unafraid.

We then get into town / village and there is a large café / coffee shop. We take a seat and the server comes over. We order half a large Americano each. She brings them to us and we drink them.

We notice that the café is actually a part of an airport.  We hear an announcement that our flight is boarding through gate D. We know that this is a small airport with only four gates. We head towards an up escalator and get on it.

Dream ends
