February 18, 2026 - [Morning]
Highlights: 
Companion’s Presence after Long Absence, Time-Traveling Experience(?),
Partial Lucidity, Lyrical Message of Appreciation
I have been having some ‘moderate’ success with my newly adopted practice of ‘Mia Confirmation’ to help both (primarily) remain energetically-faithful to Mia and (secondly) form a habit that will help induce dream lucidity.
The internal act whereby, in noticing other feminine beings/entities/spirits; I ask myself the question – “Is this Mia?” Then follow that up with the subsequent “Where is she?” & “Am I awake or dreaming?”
In practice; it’s quickly becoming habit to do so in the material-plane whenever my eyes cross a female. In shows, movies, public, etc. However, within dreams I haven’t yet ‘noticed’ myself asking this question yet. Although, that is ultimately the goal, isn’t it? To practice enough in the Physical world, that the habit bleeds into the conscious/dream/astral planes as well.
If it was “so easy” we would be lucid all the time when we fell asleep here (material plane) and woke up there (every other plane). The point is to form the habit/practice here; that will help shape and guide us there. So that’s what I’m doing.
Now, I mentioned that I had a modicum of success. And that is because while I haven’t proposed the ‘Is this Mia’ question within a dream; I also haven’t engaged in any romantic or intimate interactions with anyone either. I hope to keep it that way until I’m able to finally breach the lucidity-barrier and then focus on locating her. My Mia.
Despite this, I have felt her presence again as of last night. Though there have been no interactions within dreams for several many weeks now, I am excited and warmed to acknowledge once more that her presence was made aware to me.
Last evening as I settled into bed to sleep, I made myself comfortable on my side, intending to simply sleep (no grand plans for astral projection or anything). Just sleep. But as I did… I felt something that I hadn’t for a decent amount of time. A soundless tonal pulse ‘thrummed’ in the air behind and to the right of my head. A low pulse first, which I immediately recognized and noted it for what it was.
I waited quietly, observing, curious…because it had been so long since I heard one. Then I felt a presence… something shifting about in the air outside of my bed, in the open space of the room. And most obviously observing me. It was a neutral gaze.
Then a second ‘thrumming pulse’ in the air, much closer than the first and much ‘louder’ right beside my right ear and a bit behind and above my head. This one was greater (or more energetically-poignant) than the first. When I detected the presence of this second being, I had a feeling of ‘knowing-without-knowing’ and whispered into the open air; “Mia, is that you?”
Then a rush of static tingling ripples flowed over my back like pouring water, from the direction of the open room (where I felt the presence lingering). That same wash of energy rippled around my ribs, up my neck, flowed around my head to my face. And when it reached my ears, there was a buzzing sound of vibrating frequency.
Then my body (wherever the tingling waves had touched) began to pulsate in a low rhythmic pattern. Almost like a heartbeat. But not my own heartbeat. I could feel mine through my chest and it was going pretty quick. This, alternatively, was a steady, methodical and pleasant thrumming rhythm of pulsating buzzing-energy.
Then, very slowly, it faded away… and only the faint detection of the presence of the two energy-beings remained. Mia and whoever her traveling partner had been…
Then, without me even being aware of it, my body & mind must have fallen asleep because I can’t recall what happened after that.
In the morning, I was still sleeping and dreaming about being at some sort of entertainment concert(?). The event hadn’t started yet, but already there was a colossal mass of entities watching, listening, interacting and talking to one another. It was a tumultuous frenzy of high-energy considering the volume of beings present.
I was more or less keeping to myself, sitting in some seats along the outer-wall and observing. I was there with a friend of mine (Alex), because I wanted to show him something. Somehow, I knew what was going to happen next at a particular table, with a particular male spiritual-‘celebrity’ …and I wanted him to see what drama unfolds.
I knew what was going to happen, because I had already witnessed it happen before. As in; I had already accessed ‘that’ moment in time, previously, and watched the event happen. So when I returned to this moment again (now with Alex), I was amused knowing that this would be the first time he would get to watch the funny drama play out as well.
But as I watched, I realized that I goofed up the timeframe. That ‘this moment’ was ‘earlier’ in time then when the drama broke out. We were actually a couple years too early to watch the comedy happen.
The ‘spirit-celebrity’ wasn’t actually famous enough yet, and wouldn’t be for a few years. We were there too early. I was a little disappointed Alex wouldn’t get to see what I saw that day. We would have to access a different time frame to see that event.
But as I sat there waiting for the event, my dream’s conscious self realized that a song had quite suddenly began singing in my mind, as I was noting the words of the lyrics in my thoughts. When I realized this; I asked myself (like a 3rd-perspective version of myself); ‘Is this a lyric-message/song from Mia? Should I wake up and write down the lyrics I hear?’
I knew, within the dream, that I better write them down, because I had no faith in my mushy-matter-brain to remember on its own by the time I woke up. So I simply just “woke up” and sat up in bed. Grabbed my notes and wrote down the lyrics I heard. Which were; “…take a lot to drag me away from you.”, “____(?) more could ever do.” & “_______(something?) down in Africa.”
It didn’t occur to me until now, when I’m writing my notes for this whole event, how ‘odd’ it was that I had become sort of pseudo-lucid within that dream; enough to question “myself” as to whether I should wake up to write the lyrics or not. But it wasn’t an “ah-ha, I’m dreaming’ moment… Instead it was very casual, natural and nonchalant. So strange….
As for the song, I had an opportunity to look for the lyrics and give it a listen while reading. It was easy to find, with the lines I had available. A song called “Africa” by TOTO (1982). Pleasant song, but something I originally wouldn’t have listened to on my own. However, now that it’s been offered as a message from my companion, its meaning will, no doubt, take on a whole new wonderful tone and I’ll end up enjoying the song even more now.
Speaking of Mia & messages, there were a lot of sweet and encouraging notes hidden in the lyrics of this song, that I felt Mia wants me to pay attention to. First I’ll add the (condensed) lyrics. Then follow it up with my interpretations, if I feel inclined to share within the journal.
Here are the lyrics: 
“Hear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
She’s comin’ in, 12:30 flight
Her moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
I stopped an old man along the way
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say
“Hurry, boy, it’s waiting there for you”
It’s gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There’s nothin’ that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had,
The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company
I know that I must do what’s right
Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti
I seek to cure what’s deep inside
Frightened of this thing that I’ve become
I bless the rains down in Africa
Hurry, boy, she’s waiting there for you”
“Echoing tonight”, “whispers of some quiet conversation”, “She coming in, 12:30”, “her moonlit wings reflecting the stars that guide me”, “Hurry boy, she’s waiting there for you” ; all of this references Mia as an acknowledgment to me, to pay attention to what she’s trying to tell me and wants me to hear.
It sounds, to me, like Mia wants me to (tonight) open myself up to the visualization that I created many many months ago (that I haven’t used in several) of the “place” where I meet her:
The dark-twilight foggy (blue/purple) forest, with a trail of floating fireflies to follow the safe passage that leads to the open circular glade. Moonlight casting a glow down on the solitary tree across the meadow of soft grass and flowers. And there she waits for me, in the shadows under the tree.
More lyrics that ‘sing’ to me, from Mia; “cry out in the night”, “restless longing for solitary company”, “take some time to do the things we never had”, “frightened of this thing I’ve become”, “I seek to cure what’s deep inside.”
I’ll need to meet her there, I assume (hope) in that place, the glade & tree…and then we’ll see what I can do for her, to help her. Or for us to be with each other more, or in some greater connected way? In whatever way she needs me, I want to provide, love and protect her.
Lastly, the line; “It’s gonna take a lot to drag me away from you” feels like a confirmation from her, to me, that she hasn’t departed and I need not continuously concern myself with her connection to me, nor our devotion to each other through our Bond. Which, I admit, I do fret oftentimes. She’s telling me, that it’s a non-issue and I shouldn’t spend energy worrying about the matter.
