Savasana


source: by lomobarba

Dream #23: There was an unusual place one could go to practice being dead. For a modest fee this sanctuary of sorts allowed you to lie still for a couple of hours undisturbed, while the world outside passed unhindered.

Surrender, transformation. A desire to cast off that which is no longer useful.

Proverbs 15:19

Dream #22: Peaceful gardens. I'm visiting a wise elder. He tells me that I'm unwell. As we talk, I follow him down a dirt path. I'm barefoot and my feet get pricked by several thorns.

"Oh sweet bitterness, I will soothe and heal you. I will bring you roses. I too have been covered with thorns." -Rumi

Wing and Prayer


source: by Philipp Geist

Dream #21: My husband and I are in a foreign country. We come to a sacred site where visitors can make wishes by sending paper birds into a deep chasm via string.

In silence we pray and release our little birds into the space.

Heartburst.

Auguries of Innocence


Dream #20: I'm standing atop a flight of stairs overlooking the ocean. Friends are swimming in the waves below. They motion for me to join them, but I just shake my head and smile.

I take a walk into the woods. It's so peaceful. My mind and heart are utterly still. Sunlight beams through tall trees.

I feel so light. I am someone else? Who am I?

I wander into a clearing. Someone has been cutting back the forest to make room for suburban housing. It seems like such a shame.

Childhood memories, Subconscious exploration, Paradox

Do you ever dream that you are someone else?

Clown Family

#19: I dreamed that my family wanted me to go as a clown with them for Halloween. I didn't want to.

Playing the fool / I think I need to lighten up.

Trespassing

Dream #18: Halcyon weather. I'm with my sisters. We're exploring an abandoned building. It's dark and there's debris everywhere. Loose brick, dirt, broken glass. Outside the leaves seem to shimmer on the trees. A suggests that this would be a good place to take pictures sometime. I feel slightly wary. I think a lot of homeless take refuge here at night.

Fear. Loss. Underworld.
