1177.0. "Gate to ??????/" by STNING::DSM_SEC () Tue Dec 05 1989 14:14

    
    I had a rather strange thing happen to me a little while back and
    was wondering if anyone can offer me some insight into what its
    meaning is, or if something similar has happened to anyone out
    there.
    
    After an all-night type of party, I went to sleep, or passed out,
    and when I was waking up in the morning I saw many colors ( this
    was with my eyes still closed ) but they were blocked by something
    cloudy, something fuzzy, almost like fog. I wanted to see what 
    was behind the fog, and soon it began to clear, revealing a gate,
    but not any sort of normal gate, it was intricately detailed, and
    it was closed, behind it were the brightest most vivid colors I 
    have ever seen, just bursting everywhere, but contained behind the
    gate. I was still enveloped in this fog, and could not see the 
    ground or the bottom of the gate. 
    
    The entire rest of that day, whenever I would close my eyes I
    would see this same exact scene, and for a week later, the 
    scene was still strong in my mind, but changed as the days went
    on. The second day there was fog, but not nearly so thick, 
    and the colors weren't so bright behind the gate. It almost 
    seemed like the openings in the gates pattern had closed up 
    more tightly. 
    
    Towards the end of the week, the colors had all but disappeared,
    and the gate appeared more menacing, but the fog grew less and
    less, but never quite uncovered the ground beneath me or the
    bottom of the gate.
    
    The last thing I remember, about a week after I had originally
    seen the gate, I was walking through the fog (this was just 
    before waking up) and could see the colors bursting up ahead,
    and when I came closer, i'd say it looked about 20 feet from
    the gate, i noticed that it was partially open, and it was
    glistening golden through the fog, and as i approached the 
    colors kept moving further and further away, and just as i 
    was about to walk through the gate i jumped up, in a cold
    sweat, and never saw the gate again.
    
    I wonder what the gate led to, what it could have signified.
    I had the feeling that it was something strong, something
    overpowering and almost frightening.
    
    Any help and insight would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    Re .0 (Angela):
    
    From your description, the "gate" looked very enticing, and as time
    went on, apparently changed aspect (up to being tantalizingly "partly
    open") in a way that might have motivated you to open it, so to
    speak, and enter.

    Suppose you were, say, a chicken, and a farmer was calling you ro
    enter a pen.  He might try to entice you to enter, then slam the
    pen-gate behind you.  The colors "kept moving further and further 
    away," eh?
    
    Glad you awakened in a cold sweat.

    ...on the other hand it could be something good.  Often times it
    seems as we struggle toward something it gets further away.  Try
    standing still or walking away.  Personally, I'd want to see what
    was on the other side.  Sometimes finding the truth can be scary.
    
    Of course, I would say that the answer to whether this is good or
    bad would depend on your present life situation, about which we
    know nothing....

    With due respect, I'd forget the gate and ask why I poisoned myself.
                                                            

    Or maybe you partied just a little too hard and the gate was a warning
    of sort.....Ye who pass through these gates shall never return...
    Is that what is meant by "Party till youy drop".... ; )
