How it began: Entry Three
(June, 2024 : First Week)
For weeks, I had been trying to lucid dream without success. It was a bit (if I’m honest) rather frustrating. Leading up to a very new and extraordinary moment one night as I got into bed. I had lain down on my back, started getting myself situated and comfortable and had barely even closed my eyes… when I heard a whisper.
A silky smooth feminine voice, about six inches from my left ear (towards the closet-side of my room). The whisper had a distinctly odd vibrating not-quite-echo tone. It was breathy and right beside my ear, but also somehow…double or triple vibratory (almost as an echo would be) sounding ‘away.’
It feels dumb to try and explain. It was somehow right beside me, but as if echoed from far away; TO me. But the presence of the one who whispered it, didn’t feel far away. She felt RIGHT there beside me, like quietly blowing the whisper right near my face. Her words were perfectly clear and easy to understand:
”𝐼 𝑑𝑎𝑟𝑒 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑡𝑜 𝑚𝑒𝑒𝑡 𝑚𝑒 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑒.”
It didn’t sound like a command and the timbre wasn’t hostile …it’s hard to describe, but it felt more like a tease and a challenge intermixed. The voice had a sultry air of self-confidence to it. As if its owner was both: hopeful that I would take her up on the offer, but also unsure if I would pursue the call. So the perceived ‘haughty’ hint in her voice was as much a nudge towards me to ‘rise to the challenge’, as it was to protect herself from disappointment, in case I failed to even acknowledge her words.
There was quite a lot of depth in those seven simple words!
I stared into the dark corner of the closet-side of the room for several minutes. There wasn’t anything to see, of course, just the blackness of the wall and door. But my goodness! The honey in that voice! The inflections and the cadence… I can STILL hear it in my mind’s-ear today when I recall the memory, so long since that time I first heard it.
It still tickles my ear and makes the insides feel fuzzy, like cotton.
