Synchronicity: The Shared Chord

Awake in the dream. Talking to myself. Playing tunes. Deciphering the meaning is where it gets interesting… – Nightlight Oracle

Random Notes

Woke up with the memory of an interesting dream. I was at a small gathering, watching Micky Dolenz play an acoustic guitar. The song was Ghost Riders in the Sky. He was brilliant, completely immersed in the music, and I had the sense that *few people truly knew just how good he was.

At one point in the song, it felt as though my finger was also on the chord he held, sharing the vibration for several seconds. I pulled back, not wanting to interfere, but the moment left me amazed at the unity I felt with the event in progress.

I replayed the detail of the vision, convinced it must be metaphorical. A short while later, I opened my email and saw a new headline from Rolling Stone: Micky Dolenz Announces “60 Years of the Monkees” Tour: “I want to look back and share with the fans the sheer joy of what the Monkees accomplished, and what it all still means to so many,” said Dolenz.

Unity – Meaning in the Metaphor

Resonance: Micky Dolenz and Ghost Riders in the Sky carry overlapping imagery. Both speak to echoes of the past still riding through the present. The song’s ghost riders are spirits fulfilling an endless duty; Dolenz, revisiting “60 Years of the Monkees,” is likewise bridging time, honoring voices that never faded.

The dreamer is caught in that timeless continuity of performance, art as something that never dies, only changes hands.

The shared chord: Touching the same chord suggests harmonic unity: the sense of being tuned into the same frequency as the artist, or the collective creative current he represents. It’s an experience of participation in the ongoing music of consciousness, where boundaries between observer and performer dissolve.

The waking confirmation: Opening the email to find a real-world announcement is the “echo in the material.” Indication that awareness is already pre-set to a field of information prior to manifestation.

Nightlight Oracle Reflection

The dreamer is in resonance with the archetype of the eternal performer, the one who keeps the light of creativity alive across generations.

Card: The Shared Chord
Keywords: Resonance • Continuity • Collective Song • Awakening

Message: In the quiet of dreamtime, you find yourself beside a musician, not as an audience, but as part of the performance. The music vibrates through your fingertips, through the air, through every listener who ever felt the heartbeat of a song. You realize: creation is not owned; it is shared.

What you touch now echoes across time. The song moves through you as part of the greater harmony, the unbroken melody of consciousness weaving art, memory, and emotion into one continuous note.

Reflection: You are attuned to the living rhythm of the collective dream. When your awareness meets a moment of synchronicity, pause and listen: something is playing through you. Whether through words, color, gesture, or silence, your being is the instrument. The universe knows the tune.

Micky and his Guitar

Background: YouTube. Micky performing the classic song “Pleasant Valley Sunday” live at the CabaRay Showroom. This song was written by Carole King with Gerry Goffin and was originally released by The Monkees in 1967.

*My dream impression of his talent is reflected in the comments on the 2023 video: “This is not an easy song to sing, and for him to deliver this, all these years later? WOW! Respect, sir...”

Reflection: Beneath the Words

Micky Dolenz’s appearance adds another symbolic chord. He’s the surviving “voice” of a group that once captured the collective joy of a generation (The Monkees). His current “60 Years” tour celebrates continuity, memory turned into music. Placing him in the dream performing a song about spectral riders suggests the bridge between living memory and immortal spirit.

I love the simplicity of this dream, but what stays with me is the depth beneath it. The song, the strings, the unity of sound and light were a kind of code. They showed how communication happens across dimensions, through vibration, rhythm, and resonance, long before language ever arrives.

Ghost Riders in the Sky reveals itself as a message from the spirit plane, a chorus of those who have come before. They are remembering, riding the cycles of creation, leaving keys for those who follow. Their song is about continuance. It carries the reminder that every tone of love, every act of awareness, becomes part of the great chord that unites us all.

To awaken is to remember this: the key is learning how to ignite the inner light, to hold it long enough to recognize that all is one.

Ghostriders call us back to remembering.
We are the living refrain,
carrying the song onward,
beyond words, beyond fear,
Never lost, never alone.
Into the endless sky,
Lit from within, we know the way home.

Takeaway

You are tuning to a new level of vibration where life and afterlife, sound and silence, overlap. The music of creation is constant, and you are one of its living strings. Awakening to unity doesn’t require you to “catch the herd”, only to feel the chord.

Awake in the dream.
Talking to myself.
Playing tunes.

Deciphering the meaning –
that’s where it gets interesting.

Every note, every synchronic ripple,
a conversation with the unseen.
Each sound a reminder –
we are the dreamers and the dreamed,
learning to listen
to the melody of our own becoming.
