Interpretation of dreams from the Family Dream Book

Dream Interpretation - Ball

Dreams about the ball Nostradamus interpreted as follows.

We saw in a dream a fireball flying towards the Earth - such a dream predicts trouble for you.

If in a dream you saw a luminous ball on the surface of the earth, then such a dream warns that in the future you will encounter something hitherto unknown to you, which will cause you great fear.

The dream in which you ran away from a fireball in a dream portends a major scandal.

Interpretation of dreams from

Flying fireballs are similar to fireballs, but unlike them, they can travel through the air for very long distances and manifest themselves as sentient beings.

THE WONDERS OF TEXAS

The most curious incidents are connected with the ghostly lights of Martha(they are Marfa lights) - so they are named after the town of Marfa on the Mitchell Flat plain in western Texas.

Marfa Lights in Texas

One night, someone Jeff Brady came here to see the wonders of Mitchell Flate with his own eyes. As soon as Jeff was in the dark, a shining ball flew up to him and hovered twenty meters at head level. The brave explorer stepped forward. One more step, one more...

The ball blushed and split in two, as if showing its displeasure. Brady took another step forward and suddenly flew into the air! “It was as if some kind of energy threw me up a meter and a half and threw me back,” he later said, glad that he got off lightly.

Elton Miles, in his book Stories of the Great River, cites cases where meetings with the fires of Martha ended much more deplorably. The cars that had just cut through the desert turned into a pile of burnt iron, and their passengers disappeared without a trace in the infernal furnace or went crazy.

Most often they are seen from a distance: the lights fly away or disappear as soon as someone tries to get close to them.

People tried to overtake them on foot, on horseback, in jeeps and even on planes. Some chased them for more than forty kilometers, but at the most decisive moment the lights disappeared.

As soon as the frustrated explorers turned back, the balls ignited again behind them. Fritz Kael, a resident of Martha, said that catching them is like trying to grab a rainbow or chase a fleeing horizon.

“I saw colorful fireballs in the distance that took off into the sky, merged, separated again and rushed down,” said Alan Nichols. “They changed colors, became green, yellow, blue, sometimes orange. The balls shone brightly, dimmed, dissolved in the darkness and lit up again. They were the size of a volleyball. I spent many nights on Mitchell Flat watching the lights. Sometimes they were very active (especially when I did not have a camera), and sometimes they did not appear at all - when the camera was ready.

These balls also appear over Redford, a 50-mile stretch along the Prestidio-Laitas Highway. Locals say that the lights of Martha look very impressive after the rain, when their dance is accompanied by sheaves of blue and orange sparks. The balls confused even experienced border guards, who thought they were flashlights in the hands of smugglers or the lights of their cars.

It is very easy to make a mistake here, the balls have learned to imitate the headlights, keeping two by two not high above the ground. Only when the "headlights" flew in different directions, the border guards realized their mistake. Where the fires flew, never found tire tracks.

Fire knows no boundaries. Manuela Jimenez once saw two fires merge over the Rio Grande, one from the US and the other from Mexico. On the other side of the river, where the Rio Conjos flows into it, they are also often seen.

The reasonableness of the behavior of the lights is no longer questioned by anyone.

Elvira Peña of Redford told scientists that the lights twice followed her car, simulating headlights, that is, flying in pairs low above the ground. Luckily, they didn't do her any harm.

Illiterate Mexicans believe that at night the witches turn into the fires of Marfa and look out for someone's soul to steal. They say that in the Lomas de Arena area there is a place where young witches learn to fly. If a fireball crashed into a rock, the next day you need to carefully peer at all the girls, the one that comes with bruises or scratches, and there is a witch. It also happened that superstitious peasants set fire to the house of such a girl: as soon as she ran out, they shot at her with silver bullets ...

Many of them believe that witches turn not only into lights, but also into owls, so as not to impersonate the light. Francisco Quiroz admitted that one night he noticed a bright yellowish ball over a nearby mountain. He flew illuminating the ground, touched a tree, then flew to the second, third.

When the sun rose, Francisco saw among the branches the most common owl. “I knew that under this mask a witch was hiding,” he said, “so I took a slingshot and killed her.” Skeptics suggested that the owl just fell out in luminous rot

Of course, scientists do not believe local stories. But even they cannot explain what flies over Texas.

“At first I thought that these lights were just the headlights of distant cars,” said physicist Edson Hendricks. “In August 1993, I had to change my mind. I saw two white fireballs. They changed colors from red to yellow. Around one of them was a halo of bright red sparks. Then the balls changed places. In two or three minutes, that ball. that was a hundred meters from me, flew up. It shone like a lump of burning magnesium, but did not leave behind a smoke plume. I was blinded by his light. It was simply impossible to confuse this contraption with any man-made fire."

Exactly the same lights fly near Rtani - a hill in the west of Serbia. Dozens of local residents talked about fireballs flying over the fields.

The fires of Rtani are no less ferocious than their overseas relatives. Twenty-eight years ago, Novica Milosevic, a lawyer from the town of Soko Banya, was walking in those places with his relatives. At this time, they were overtaken by a fireball. Novica's brother and uncle were burned alive in hellfire, and he himself was forever blind. His fate still remains a formidable warning to people trying to penetrate the secret of deadly fires.

THE PHENOMENON OF CARNIENTO

It turns out that this was encountered more than once at the end of the last and the beginning of our century. Some have even hypothesized regular visits from spirits and ghosts!

“The phenomenon has been observed for a long time almost every evening,” testified Captain Strombo from the local garrison, who tried to solve the mystery, “It is almost the size of a large lamp, but if you look at it closely, it increases so that it sometimes reaches 60-70 centimeters in diameter.

Moving it from the small village church of St. Bernard in the direction of the cemetery takes place in successive leaps, as it were. Around midnight, the flame returns from the cemetery to the church. It is impossible to explain how the flame leaves the church. Apparently, no one has ever approached the luminous ball to examine it closely ... They say that this flame burned some objects ”

Strombo noticed that some people can see the ball and others can't. By the way, sometimes this is exactly what happens during UFO sightings!

“This phenomenon, in my opinion, deserves attention,” said Lombroso. “It needs to be investigated, and if it can be explained to some extent in the summer, then, in any case, I don’t see how it will be possible to find an explanation for it in the winter and in a relaxed atmosphere"

Dr. Guirzino from the University of Turin also noted that not everyone can see the Carniento phenomenon.

Nearby, in the province of Padua, a mysterious ball used to appear every day.

“The light rises from the ground among the fields and quietly soars in the air at a height of eight meters,” wrote Countess Ida Korer in the Genoese newspaper Veltro (1908, No. 8). “From time to time, however, it descends and often moves away or approaches with the speed of thought. It is about the size of a large electric lantern.

Last winter, some fools did not find anything better than to shoot him with a gun. The ball is gone; the next day it reappeared, but divided in two. In this way he appeared for several evenings, and then both parts joined together, and he again became whole.

But since then, the peasants say, it has not had its former size and its light is less bright. Nevertheless, last night I could admire it in all its splendor. He shone like a star. The whole area had been watching the phenomenon for several months. Every evening more than forty people admired this amazing phenomenon!

FLYING LIGHTS OF EGRIN

In 1904-1905, the lights of the town of Egrin caused fear and religious awe in Great Britain. Priest A Freyer sent out a detailed questionnaire to all eyewitnesses and received the following responses:

“I saw the light every night for about six weeks,” said Mrs. Jones Aisleurford. “Sometimes it looked like a lantern, like an automobile, and moved without causing any harm to anyone. In other cases, he looked like two lanterns surrounded by fiery tongues, appeared and disappeared. Sometimes he was imagined as lightning - it would flash and immediately disappear; it even happened that he assumed the appearance of a very bright star.

One of the residents of the village of Dolgau said that he saw the fire eight nights in a row. The mysterious ball slowly moved along its chosen route, and once it rushed at great speed! The eyewitness emphasized that this fire or light appeared in places where there could not be other lights.

A reporter from the London Daily Mirror came to Egrin to see the lights for himself. After a long wait, the fire appeared, and not everyone saw it either!

After 1905, the lights began to appear less frequently, but did not disappear. During the First World War, they got into the reports of the military, who thought that these were spies signaling to German airships On September 4, 1915, at 9.30 pm, Lieutenant General W. Drury saw "a bright white fire, rising evenly over the meadow to a height of approximately 50-60 feet ".

In his report, he wrote: “Its trajectory was clearly visible against the background of dark forest and hills ... We were within a mile of this light source and clearly saw its rise.”

In 1923, lights appeared in Warwickshire. “It was about seven o'clock in the evening,” a local newspaper journalist described his observation, “We looked around and saw a strong flashing light 200 yards away, similar to the light of a motorcycle headlight. He just blew us away. It flickered, passed at high speed through the bushes and gates, then, approaching us, flashed brightly and went into the ground.

DEADLY PENANGALS

In Malaysia, there is a belief that women who die during childbirth turn into a luminous ball - penangal, which sucks life and mind from random travelers. The English traveler George Maxwell recorded the story of a certain Beginda Sutan who stayed at night to work on a hill frequented by a Penangal. When they came for him the next morning, they saw that Beginda had gone mad. He could not clearly tell what happened that night.

Maxwell decided to stay on the hill himself and saw two lights. They abruptly, at an angle of 90 degrees, turned around and rushed straight towards him. Without losing his presence of mind, Maxwell noticed that they were fireballs the size of a human head, which were moving at a monstrous speed. Fortunately, the balls swept past in fifty meters.

When Maxwell told an official about this, he replied that the Englishman was very lucky and that he had miraculously survived.

The same lights often appear in Australia. The first report about them appeared in 1878. The Golburn Herald newspaper published an article on March 16:

“Recently, superstitious people have been seized with great excitement. Many of them gather in groups, taking their weapons, to a pasture near Stewart Garden, where there is an unfinished stone house. As they say, a ghost appears here in the form of a moving fire.

Sometimes the fire flies slowly, but more often very quickly - from the bank of the river up to the house. Having passed it, the fire diversifies the spectacle by flying among the trees. It is said that this goes on from early evening until three in the morning; All attempts to get closer to the fire have failed.

Ransom Watt, in his book The History of Golburn, writes that a settler claimed to have destroyed the fire with a shotgun blast.

In the 1890s, ghost lights were often seen flying one, sometimes two, over the roads and plains of South Australia. Orroro farmers and Munta miners often mistook single lights for the lamp of a distant cyclist; when the fire was seen close, it was perceived as white light. All attempts to catch the lights, which flew approximately at the level of the fences, were unsuccessful.

DEATHSPEAKER?

In France and some other European countries, such lights are called mortal candles according to legend, to see them - to someone's death.

The following story was published: “Someone N. tells that one evening in June 1899, at about 9 o’clock, he was standing at an open window and suddenly noticed a light flying over his head. He slowly got up and flew around the walls and houses, in the direction of one house, where N.

Here the flame has disappeared. N., despite the fact that he watched the light for at least a quarter of an hour, did not attach any importance to it, since he knew that his friend was in good health ...

However, at night he slept very badly and early in the morning rushed to his friend, greatly worried about him. Imagine his amazement when his friend's wife met him all in tears and said that the day before her husband had been thrown out of the carriage, badly injured and died by morning.

As early as 1685, Nathaniel Crouch wrote:

“There is an unusual belief according to which, on the eve of the death of an Indian or a white man, a fire appears over a wigwam at night; I was once awakened at about 12 o'clock at night, and I really saw how the light slowly flies over the church towards the village. This means that in two or three days someone will certainly die.

The well-known collector of folklore W. Evans-Wentz already in our century recorded the story of a Welsh resident about mortal candles.

“They are like pieces of light,” the peasant said. “When they appear, everything around is illuminated with a bright light, and even at night it becomes as bright as day. The "candle" is not a real flame, but a luminous mass of light blue color that dances and moves as if someone is directing it, and it often moves in a circle. And it’s not a candle at all, but someone’s soul.”

Nevertheless, most serious researchers support another hypothesis - terrestrial lights. Geophysicists believe that luminous formations can appear above the faults of the earth's crust, which move along the fault line under the influence of telluric currents. However, no one knows how they arise.

“We don't understand much about terrestrial lights,” US Seismic Survey chief John Derr recently admitted. “We do not know what the source of the electricity is, how it is conducted to the surface of the earth, or how it is focused in the air in the form of these lights. We don't know why some of them live longer than others. We still have a lot of work to do.”

Whatever the mysterious lights that regularly fly along their chosen routes, one thing is clear: the solution to their visits will not come soon!

Ball lightning. This mysterious phenomenon of nature is still very little studied. There are many cases when this clot of crushing energy enters our homes. It penetrates the room through the slightest cracks, chimneys and even through smooth glass. Ball lightning is a fleeting phenomenon, but sometimes it can be observed for 20 seconds.

Ball lightning is considered a special type of lightning, which is a luminous fireball floating through the air (sometimes it looks like a mushroom, drop or pear).

Getting into the apartment, ball lightning behaves differently: it either goes out, or "splashes" with a crash. Its sizes vary. The most common lightning is about 15 cm in size. But there are times when it reaches 1 meter or more in diameter. In contact with a person, in general, the matter ends tragically. But in rare cases this does not happen. Not so long ago, such a contact happened in China: surprisingly, having hit the same person 2 times, she did not kill him (the incident was shown on TV).

A case of such a meeting with ball lightning is described: in Zimbabwe (Africa), a young woman escaped with such contact with only the loss of her dress and hairstyle. In Pyatigorsk, a roofing worker burned his hands while trying to brush off a small ball that seemed to be hovering over him. I had to be treated for a long time, because such burns do not heal for a long time. But there are many more cases that end tragically. In the summer there was a case when a still not old man was killed, who was grazing public cattle in the pasture. Ball lightning destroyed him along with his horse.

There have been instances where aircraft encounter these fireballs. But the death of the aircraft or the crew has not yet been recorded (only minor damage to the skin was noted).

What does ball lightning look like?

Ball lightnings come in different shapes: round, oval, conical, etc. The color of lightning also has a full range of colors. There are red with different shades, green, orange, white. Some types of lightning have a luminous "tail". What is this natural phenomenon? Scientists say that ball lightning is a clot of plasma, the temperature of which can be 30,000,000 degrees. This is higher than the solar temperature at its center.

Why does this happen, what is its nature of occurrence. Observations of the appearance of these "balls" from nowhere were noted - on a sunny clear day, mysterious orange balls moved close to the surface, in a place where there were no high-voltage wires and other types of energy sources. Maybe they arise deep in the bowels of our planet, maybe in its faults. In general, this mysterious phenomenon has not yet been studied by anyone. Our scientists know more about the origin of stars than about what goes on under their noses from age to age.

Types of ball lightning

Based on eyewitness accounts, two main types of ball lightning are distinguished:

  1. The first is a red fireball descending from a cloud. When such a heavenly gift touches some object on earth, such as a tree, it explodes. Interesting: ball lightning can be the size of a soccer ball, it can hiss and buzz menacingly.
  2. Another type of ball lightning travels along the earth's surface for a long time and glows with a bright white light. The ball is attracted to good conductors of electricity and can touch anything - the ground, a power line, or a person.

Time of existence of ball lightning

Ball lightning exists from a few seconds to several minutes. Why is it so?

One theory claims that the ball is a small copy of a thundercloud. Here's how it might happen. The smallest dust particles are constantly in the air. Lightning can impart an electrical charge to dust particles in a certain area of ​​the air. Some dust particles are positively charged, others are negatively charged. In a further light representation lasting up to many seconds, millions of small lightnings connect oppositely charged dust particles, creating in the air the image of a sparkling fireball - ball lightning.

Books

  • Fire ball , . The book contains works of oral folk art of the Eskimos of Asia, Alaska, Canada and Greenland. Most of the texts in Russian are published for the first time. The collection is illustrated...

Recently, the inhabitants of Sweden and Latvia have witnessed an unusual spectacle. Before their eyes, a large fireball flew across the sky. A little earlier, dozens of luminous balls were observed by residents of the states of Florida and Kentucky (USA).

Last year, the Altai Territory was on this list - hundreds of residents of the village of Istimis in the Klyuchevsky District saw a huge fireball that hissed over the southwestern part of the region.

Experts are looking for the cause of this phenomenon in meteors or the remnants of spacecraft that burn up in the earth's atmosphere. However, these versions do not answer the question why flying fireballs can travel through the air for very long distances and still behave like intelligent beings?

Wonders of Texas

Very curious incidents are associated with the ghostly lights of Marfa - the so-called luminous balls in honor of the town on the plain of Mitchell Flat in western Texas.

One night American Jeff Brady came here to see the wonders of Mitchell Flat with his own eyes. As soon as Jeff was in the dark, a shining ball flew up to him and hovered at a distance of 20 m from him at the level of his head. The explorer took a few steps forward. The ball blushed and split in two, as if showing its displeasure. Brady took another step forward and unexpectedly took off into the air! “It was as if some kind of energy threw me 1.5 meters up and threw me back,” he later said, glad that he got off lightly.

Elton Miles, in his book Stories of the Great River, cites cases where meetings with the fires of Martha ended much more deplorably. Cars that had just cut through the desert turned into a pile of burnt iron, and their passengers disappeared without a trace in the hellish firebox or went crazy. No matter how hard the experts tried to find out from them what happened, only laughter or incoherent muttering was heard in response.

Most often, luminous balls are seen at a distance: the lights fly away or disappear as soon as someone tries to get close to them. People tried to overtake them on foot, on horseback, in jeeps and even on planes. They say that some researchers chased them for 40 km, but at the most decisive moment, the lights disappeared to no one knows where. As soon as the disappointed ufologists turned back, the balls lit up behind them again.

Fritz Kael, a resident of Marfa, believes that catching these spheres is like trying to grab a rainbow or catch up with a fleeing horizon. “I saw colorful fireballs in the distance that took off into the sky, merged, separated again and rushed down,” says American Alan Nicolet. - They changed colors, became green, yellow, blue, sometimes orange. The balls shone brightly, dimmed, dissolved in the darkness and lit up again. They were the size of a volleyball. I spent many nights on Mitchell Flat watching the lights. Sometimes they were very active (especially when I did not have a camera), and sometimes they did not appear at all - when the camera was ready.

Fireball Invasion

Fireballs are also appearing over Redford, a 50-mile stretch along the Prestidio-Laitas Highway (USA). Locals say that the lights of Martha look very impressive after the rain, when their dance is accompanied by sheaves of blue and orange sparks. The balls confused even experienced border guards, who thought they were flashlights in the hands of smugglers or the lights of their cars. According to the researchers, it is very easy to make a mistake here: the balls have learned to imitate the headlights, keeping two by two low above the ground. Only when the "headlights" flew in different directions, the border guards realized their mistake. Where the fires flew, never found tire tracks.

Lights do not recognize borders, they are often seen in Mexico. Mexican Manuele Jimenez once saw two fires merge over the Rio Grande: one flew in from the United States, the other from Mexico.

Exactly the same lights fly near Rtani - a hill in the west of Serbia. Here they were seen by dozens of local residents. The fires of Rtani are no less ferocious than their overseas relatives. 30 years ago, Novica Milosevic, a lawyer from the town of Soko Banya, was walking in those places with his relatives. At this time, they were overtaken by a fireball. Novica's brother and uncle were burned alive in a fiery flame, and he himself was forever blind. His fate still remains a formidable warning to people trying to penetrate the secret of deadly fires.

Another region of the planet, known for the frequent appearance of mysterious balls, is Thailand, here they are called Nagas. Every year, on the night of the October full moon, hundreds of thousands of people gather on the Mekong River near the city of Nong Hai (northern Thailand) to observe the mysterious phenomenon. Many red, pink and yellow fireballs appear on the surface of the water, which then rise into the air and disappear without a trace.

The locals attribute this mysterious phenomenon to the intervention of the mythical snake Naga, which thus marks the end of Lent, which coincides with the three-month rainy season, and pays homage to the Buddha.

Scientists: No clue found

As for scientists, they have not yet been able to find an explanation for the phenomenon of Naga's fiery spheres. According to one hypothesis, they appear due to the happy coincidence of a number of factors: many small animals and plants die in the fall and decompose on the bottom of the Mekong under the influence of the sun, releasing flammable gases. On the night of the full moon, when the moon's gravity is at its maximum, the gases concentrated at the bottom of the river rise to the surface, forming Naga's fireballs.

In turn, ufologists tend to see intelligence in the behavior of fireballs, which, in their opinion, is another evidence of the existence of extraterrestrial intelligence. So, American Elvira Peña from Redford told scientists that the lights twice pursued her car, flying behind her in a pair low above the ground. Luckily, they didn't do her any harm.

But the Mexicans believe that it is the witches who turn into the fires of Martha at night and look out for someone to steal their soul. According to popular belief, in the Lomas de Arena area there is a place where young witches learn to fly. If a fireball crashed into a rock, the next day you need to carefully look at all the girls: the one that comes with bruises or scratches is the witch. It also happened that superstitious peasants set fire to the house of such a girl: as soon as she ran out, they shot at her with silver bullets ...

Of course, scientists do not believe local stories. But even they cannot explain what flies over Texas. “At first I thought that these lights were just the headlights of distant cars,” said the American physicist Edson Hendrix. “In August 1993, I had to change my mind. I saw two white fireballs. They changed colors - from red to yellow. Around one of them was a halo of bright red sparks. Then the balls changed places. After 2-3 min. the ball that was 100 meters away from me flew up. It shone like a lump of burning magnesium, but left no trail of smoke behind it. I was blinded by his light. It was simply impossible to confuse this contraption with any man-made fire." So the search for clues continues.
