a good friend of mine from work wrote this out and asked me to post it on the message boards, he does not have internet so i told him i would try and get some feedback on this:
"after hearing what you said about lucid dreaming, i realized that that was what i've been doing since i was little. once i understood that i was dreaming, i would try to fly or move things with my mind. anyway, i was trying out meditation before i went to sleep about 3 months ago. while i was laying there trying to clear my mind, i started to visualize myself rising up off my bed. once i was completely relaxed, i could feel my "insides" start to "float" out from my body. right around that same time i started to feel a soft vibration in my lower jaw and neck area and the higher i started to float, the harder the vibration got. after about a minute the vibration stopped and i felt completely removed from my body floating into a vast emptiness. then right in front of me appeared this beautiful orb of white and blue light, almost like a ball of blue flame. i don't know why, but i had the sense that this orb was me, or my higher self, or something. suddenly the orb started to move away from me. since i had flown in dreams before, i had an idea of how it worked so i started to follow it. now, as i am following the orb through this emptiness i start to see doors. and everytime the orb would go through one, i would follow. nothing really changed once i got through them all.i just thought it was worth mentioning. once the doors were gone, i heard a loud "clap" come from behind me, but inside my head. at the same time i saw this white flash and inside the light i saw what looked like a piece of paper with some kind of writing on it, but it was all in these weird symbols that i'd never seen before, and all but one symbol was blurry to for me to get a good look at it. its only the first symbol i can clearly remember. but like i said before the loud "clap" and the flash of paper with the symbols only lasted a second and then i was back following the blue orb again. after awhile it happened again, same "clap" same symbol. then after the third time it was obvious i was getting some kind of message. about a minute later i notice the blue orb was moving faster and getting farther away, then the emptiness was gone and i saw 2 giant mountain ranges on either side of a curvy river. the blue orb shot ahead of me and i was afraid i would lose it. i did'nt want that to happen so i told myself that i had to catch up to it. thats when i felt something "build up" inside and i felt and even heard this low deep "explosion" come from behind me but at the same time within me and i shot through the sky to the orb at what felt like superman speed, which was new because i had never flown that fast in any of my dreams before. anyway, i start to catch up to the orb and right when i could almost reach out and touch it, i snapped out of it. i quickly drew the symbol so i wouldnt forget it. basically what i am asking for is a little insight as to what this symbol could mean to me."
i did a little research for him myself and found out the symbol he showed me is the symbol for mercury. its on this page about halfway down [since any astrology site has the symbols, please email for this specific site if interested]. if you are unable to view it, it is a cross, with a circle on top of it, with a half circle connected to the top of that circle. thanks a bunch guys.
