Crossfire

Dream #44: Some remote cabin. I have just showered and am wrapped in bath towels. Something out the window catches my eye. Grizzly bears have wandered quite close. Suddenly, I hear gunfire. Hunters are shooting at the bears. I feel quite frightened and lie down on the floor in case of any stray bullets.

This dream represents a very specific situation in my waking life. However, I have been thinking a lot lately about vulnerability and the illusions of security we create. I also noticed that I tend to dream about bears when I am worried.

Sleeptalking



The other morning I woke myself up in the middle of mumbling, "I always think maybe they're doing it on purpose."
Who was doing what?, I wonder. Do you ever talk or walk in your sleep?

Dream #43: I found a cute apron with kittens on it stuffed into a trash can. I took it out to wash and keep for myself.

Reexamining my attitude toward women's work?

Dream #42: On some country outing. Dark clouds begin circling above. What will I do if there's a tornado? There is no place around to take shelter.

Foreshadowing, turbulence, exposure

Dream #41: I wandered into a cluttered shop. There was a section with small pets for sale. All were kept in assorted tanks and bowls. I gazed into a glass jar containing colorful betta fish.

Dream #40: It was the night before the Last Day on Earth. My husband and I were trying to decide how to spend our final hours together. Why not take a trip to the museum?

We were eerily at peace!

Instantly


"Covered with the flowers,
Instantly I'd like to die
In this dream of ours."

Injured Animus

Dream #39: I came across a pitiful apelike creature. Though his legs were chained, he balanced on a small unicycle and performed tricks. He must have escaped from some cruel circus nearby.

I am not proud of my over the top behavior of late.

Rehearsal

Dream #38: My sister E was teaching me a dance that she had choreographed. I had just a matter of hours to learn it before the performance.

It was fun, but I was completely hopeless. I was trying to think of a way to have the steps outlined for me on the ground. I would never remember it all in time.
