First, let me mention the events of a week or so ago.
1. My brother and I were discussing what big cats could represent in a dream. The cat in question was a panther.
2. I discovered a new song called "Synthesizers" by a band called, Butch Walker and the Black Widows.
Ever since hearing it for the first time, I've been eye to eye with black widows pretty regularly. One next to the door bell, another in a place to be mentioned in 5 seconds.
On Saturday night, I stayed the night at my cousin's place in Ceres. When we went to the liquor store, I opened my car door to see a black widow. In the morning, he, his roommate and I were all lounging, watching Sunday morning television. We end up watching 'The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' movie from 1990. A discussion starts about Master Splinter and how a "splinter" isn't necessarily a good thing.
In fact, they can be quite painful and annoying. The movie that comes on after TMNT is 'Scooby Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed'. I should note, these are not usually the kinds of movies I watch. But hey, it is what it is. The first monster to "unleash" itself in Scooby Doo 2 was this green pterodactyl.
Now let's fast forward a few hours. I'm hanging out with a friend in Modesto. When I pick him up, I make note of a bear blanket in his house. He says he likes it, but much preferred his old panther blanket. Later, we're talking about Easter and white rabbits and their appearances in films like "Harvey", "The Matrix", "Alice in Wonderland" and so on.
Later, I notice my friend's new wallet. One I'm very envious of. It has anchors on the outside and scorpions in the inside.
Now, the time is 8pm, back at my house in Tracy.
The next few hours is riddled with manifestations of things I was literally just thinking about. A Family Guy episode is played that involves the stair case having to be replaced because Stewie gets a
splinter.
In the next episode of Family Guy, Peter rides a green pterodactyl.
After Family Guy, we start watching South Park. The Easter spectacular episode, featuring this rabbit.
After that, we put on Ralph Bakshi's 'Fire and Ice'. One of the first scenes involves this panther.
About 20 minutes later, a character shouts, "Release the dragon hawks!" Which if you ask me, closely resemble green pterodactyls.
Toward the middle of the film, the bad guys embark on their boat of evil. Which looks like this.
Notice the black widow. Also, take note of the skull with bat wings on the top. I'll get back to that.
Now, it's around 1 or 2 in the morning, and I'm getting ready for bed. While laying down, I decide to read the new comic book I got in the mail, Green Lantern no 9. I bought it on a whim because it features Batman turning in to a lantern, for a brief moment. Here's one of the pages from the book:
This is the Tattooed Man unleashing his monsters (tattoos) upon Hal Jordan. Note the scorpion. and in the bottom right corner, even though it's a little cut off, is a skull with bat wings.
Now, here's my theory on why this all might be happening. It's already been talked about within circles of people, that we create our own reality with our thoughts. I think that's exactly what's happening here. My thoughts are manifesting themselves in to this physical reality that we all live in. In this scenario, I believe it was mostly unintentional. BUT. I also think that it is a skill that has the potential to be controlled and exercised. In fact, I believe this is magic. I think wizards, magicians, shamans, sages, enlightened individuals (Jesus, Buddha) had knowledge of this ability and used it either for good or for bad. White magic and black magic if you will. But like anything else, it's just a theory.
