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.

Do you ever dream that you are someone else?

#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.

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.

Dream #17: I am making a paper doll chain. It's a self portrait cut from folded tissue paper. I finish and carefully separate the layers. The result is lovely against the light. Each doll is in a slightly different position. How did I achieve this ornate result from such a seemingly simple pattern?

Who am I? I am not my body. I am not my mind. I am not my experiences. These are only layers that can be stripped away.

The Messenger

Dream #16: It was a cool morning. I left for work, but soon realized I had forgotten something. On my way back inside, I decided to check the mail.

I have had strange encounters with hummingbirds in waking life and take this dream to have personal significance.

Curtain Call

Dream #15: I'm in an art museum. My mother is there and she's playing the guitar and singing. A small crowd has gathered around her. Her song is so pretty. It ends and everyone applauds.

My mother passed away in 2003. Although she was not a musician, she spread joy to anyone who stopped to listen. I miss her and am always glad to see her in dreams.

Dream #14: It's early morning. There's a knock at my door. I get out of bed and peer warily through the peephole. Someone has left me an odd parcel complete with a light bulb and straw bedding. Inside of it a baby chick nests sweetly, waiting to be let in. I don't remember ordering it. I recall that hatchlings can survive for 72 hours on the nourishment their egg provides and decide to go back to bed. I can figure out what to do with it later.

Strata of meaning:
-I would like to raise chickens but as a renter, do not have the setup.
-I need to prepare for an imminent interview, but am afraid of getting my hopes up.
-My biological clock is ticking

Did you catch the "peephole" pun?
