I am to take photos of a wedding. I pack my camera gear. I have to push it down into one case. I go to the church. I notice that it is a circular church and has these abstract, circular sculptures on its facade.
I am in the church with a group of people. I see the bride and groom come into the church. Then, we all have to move to another church room. (like there are two interiors in the church). I then look for the rooms where the bride and the groom are getting ready. I cannot find them. I ask different people where they are. I get worried that there is not enough time to take photos before the wedding ceremony. I realize that will not happen. The time has run out. Now I am worried that I will not have enough time to set up my equipment.
The scene changes. I am still at the church. Tom and Ted Middleton are there. I am getting along much better with Tom than with Ted. I am platonically physical with Tom and having a nice conversation. We are all in our fifties.
In waking life, I had a serious crush on Ted. I didn’t really let that go until I was around 43 years old. I didn’t really know Tom that well. They are twins. I met them and worked with them one year at Ruttger’s Resort when I was 20 years old. Ted was a photographer. When I was going to take photos for my first wedding job, he helped me with what photos to take.
Intriguing that you are closer now to the other twin, not the one who helped you become a photographer at weddings so many years ago. Is your love for photography on the wane? Is there a male aspect of yourself becoming more important for you? Letting go of a serious “crush” is an interesting phrase: letting go of something very painful? I like that both twin names are three letters and start with a capital T. “T” looks like a cross (reminds me of the church). And “t” represents time (you mention your twenties, forties and fifties). The name “Middleton” is also highly symbolic. In Old English it means “middle town” or “middle settlement.”
Two twin interiors in the church? Does a dream of a church remind you of Annunciation? The round church reminds me of the Cupola Church we saw in Amsterdam in 2011. So many Queen Anne houses in my neighborhood have round witch towers like Cupola. I mentioned this church in a dream I posted in 2011.
Never any Jungian psychology from my comments, sorry, Bon. Lately words and phrases pop out more for me than symbols.
