I think I am gonna start writing down my dreams. Since I have been taking Melatonin to get to sleep at night, I have been dreaming every night! Before waking, I will have had these long winding dreams full of details. Had a dream the other night though which I do not recall but I must have told myself to remember one word. So I woke up repeating to myself,
"bloodstone, bloodstone, remember bloodstone."
It was very strange indeed as I had never heard of the word before. Yet somehow it was there in my unconscious mind. This is often the case for me. I will dream something and then wake up with a word that I don't have any knowledge about. I went to google this word and fully expected nothing to come up. I thought that it probably was a nonsense word my mind had created in my dream state. But no...here it is a real word and a real type of stone. And before you ask...nope...my birthday is in December and not March.
Anyways...it is very pretty stone.
Here is a site which talks about the origins and meaning behind this particular stone.
The stone is sometimes called a Martyr's stone as the red was once believed to be the blood of Christ which fell on some Jasper at the foot of the cross. Later Christians would carve scenes of the crucifixion and martyrs from this type of stone.
I had no knowledge of any of this before my dream.
I suppose I will write about my synchronicities soon. There are so many.
Who knows what anything means? Dreams, life, any of it.
More to come!

They are beautiful stones!
Dream journals are great. I need to start mine up again. It is so cool to go back and read them after some time has passed. They make more sense with the perspective of time I guess.
I have had a bloodstone signet ring for 12 years but didn't know the bit about 'Martyr's stone'
It's a really nice stone anyway. But how strange to wake up remembering it.
I read somewhere that it's useful to interpret synchronicities as if they were dreams, and try to find the meaning of the event. Often, a synchronicity will be so striking that we can't get past how cool it was, and search out how it adds meaning to our lives.
Reading this post, I began to wonder if it would be helpful to interpret dreams as if they were synchronicities. Might be fun to play with!
wow!
I too have had the strangest dream sometime ago.
N'ways..that's a pretty stone.
