Synchronicity: Shady Oak

(Friday, September 18, 2026)

Yesterday I was working to find new hinges for the old hopper basement windows I am painting. I tried Grainger Industrial Supply in Bloomington. They sent me up to New Hope, to Twin City Hardware. Twin City told me to go to Alco Service and Supply in Minnetonka. Alco is just off of K-Tel and Shady Oak, said the rep.

At Alco I met with a friendly employee who had exactly the hinges I needed. We chatted a bit and he said he used to live in Tangletown, on 48th and Harriet, three blocks away from my Rustic Lodge house. As I was driving away, toward Excelsior Boulevard, I saw Shady Oak. I had forgotten that Twin City mentioned the street Bonnie often dreams about. Her childhood home was along Shady Oak. So I thought a lot about Bonnie. And she called me five minutes later!

Lovely to have a waking synchronicity with Bonnie AND to meet with Kelsi in a recent dream.

Brown Spinning Wheel

(Saturday, September 12) new moon Libra

It is the dark cosmos on earth, a description of the lighting that often occurs in my dreams. It feels like daytime, but there is no sun, no moon, no stars that are visible to me.

I am outdoors with a large, generous community. Part of the long dream is interacting with children. I have forgotten that dream element as well as another part I recalled when I woke up. At this point I do remember standing in a circle with people. A medicine wheel? We are holding a brown, maybe thick cardboard circle in our hands and spinning together. The brown circle not only spins, but it twists a little up and down. It is a flexible surface. I mention my published book to everyone, which surprises me when I wake up. It is a thick and somewhat famous book. Not anything I would ever expect in my waking life.

Day notes:

I am thinking about going to the Mendota powwow this weekend. There are two medicine wheels nearby that I would often visit when I worked in Eagan.

Susan’s dream group is Monday. I am considering bowing out soon, as my memory is in decline. Her dreamers are much sharper than I am these days.

September 13: When we were watching dancing at the powwow yesterday (lots of beautiful Jingle dresses) I felt a very strong sensation that started in my heart and moved up my spine to my seventh chakra. Kundalini.

Synchronicity: White Pup

(Wednesday, September 9, 2026) new moon Leo

This morning, driving to speech therapy at North Memorial, I saw a tiny white puppy in the front yard of a house on Lyndale Avenue. With no leash. The little one dashed across the street and seemed to me completely lost. I sent prayers for him/her to stay safe and find its way home.

Then, during therapy, an image was shown to me on an iPad. A white puppy! The dream I posted yesterday had a scene with three dogs.
