No, it's not a typo in the subject line, this is not about an "astral projection wristband" (although I'd like to have one if it exists ;)), but about astral protection.
It starts from an ongoing dream where I was looking for my sports shoes I left in a concert hall (after the concert) that was situated in a much bigger complex. I wasn't bare-footed though, as I searched to find an entrance to that hall again. I then went out of this complex which also was a kind of giant mall (with clubs and shopping centres) into broad daylight in a big city. I went around the huge building-complex and entered another entrance to a kind of club (still looking for my shoes only). It looked like a kind of 'American' club (I'm European) with American colours and lots of red-white and silver glittering stuff (like you see it on election campaigns in the US a lot).
I saw some security guys at the entrance. Also a man at a table with a till/register on it, so it was a kind of cash point and so it looked to me that they demanded an entrance fee. I did not want to pay any money for this (I was just on the search for my forgotten shoes) and also the security men somehow deterred me. So I turned around. I felt all the time they still looked at me expectantly.
I saw a security woman at the exit again who let me out but before that gave me a (reassuring? / demanding?) sign that I could/should turn around again and go back inside. I ignored it and went outside again, even with a faster pace so they could not come after me.
However, exactly that's what happened. A blond, muscular and tall security guy was 'chasing me' catching up with me and walking past me, first just looking at me. First I thought 'well, seems I am in trouble now'.
I walked on, trying to get a way from 'this club' and their hired staff. He then started talking to me. Actually it was only a question. He was walking to my left, then pointed to my left arm / wrist and says sth like this:
"I saw that you wear this armband. It shows you are protected. You're one of them, aren't you?" :shock:
You know, it was a 'normal' dream situation/state for me, so I wasn't (getting) lucid at all. Neither did I think about his words in a deeper sense, like I do now in awake state as you might imagine. I still 'considered' myself in this 'mundane' situation of trying to get a away from a bouncer with strange questions.
As a natural reaction, still walking, I then looked at my wrist myself and saw there were my watch and indeed a kind of wristband, both were black. It's that kind of sloppy cloth thing you usually wear as a kind of admission ticket on open air festivals (remember I was on a concert before in that dream so that would even show some consistency here).
I did not know what it meant and if it was there before. I was looking for an explanation myself. I finally said to him that it was a kind of cable for an mp3 player (I saw a plug then at the moment when I said that), but I lost the player now. I then asked the guy to help me how to get back to that concert hall and told him about my lost shoes, he smiled then and suddenly he looked also like a different person then.
Some thoughts and background on this:
I had another dream before that was showing me the notion of friendship and protection (meeting old friends and feeling save), so maybe this was a kind of 'theme' being kept up.
As to the wristband, well, there might be another or additional explanation. I was doing a lot of reality checks again with my hand lately - also mainly the left hand. The reason for this is that I wear a (rather huge) wristwatch there with an alarm that goes off every 2 minutes. So mostly I looked at my left hand then. And next to the wristband I wore this watch in the dream, too.
But why does it stand for 'protection'? And who are 'one of them' (the protected ones)? As the reality checks are for gaining lucidity could it mean that you enhance your security by being lucid? Well, maybe. On the other hand, it seemed to me that he meant that I am kind of "marked" with it, so it shows some protection by a "higher force" or friends/helpers. Or maybe also serves to warn off any negs or enemies? Maybe both?
Another idea: Maybe it also shows to me that it's a kind of "accreditation" or pass for areas that were 'off-limits' for me before? The club' staff inviting me and waving me in might hint to that.
A last idea is that he also acted as a kind of awakener, who wanted to 'provoke' me to look at my hand - and thus get lucid? (I wrote about this here: http://www.astraldynamics.com.au/showthread.php?12131-Dream-Programming-Experiment-7-The-Awakeners-Prompters)
Be that as it may, in retrospect, it was an encouraging dream. Being re-assured to be 'protected' is a nice thing, although i had not asked for it or programmed this dream in any way. (Actually I am asking for very different things at the moment and do not have a fear issue, at least not on a conscious level!:?).
Btw, I did not recover my sports shoes, or at least don't remember it, I still do have them in physical life, but as they were very old ones and worn out, I couldn't care too much about them anyway.;)
