(Friday, February 18, 2022) tarot: Tower
I am sleeping in my upstairs bedroom, but the dream seems to take place after the house was first built and decades before I moved in. The owner, possibly the woman who helped design 100 Rustic Lodge, stands in the corner near the right foot of the bed. She is attractive, clever, warm, strong and healthy. The attic area is unfinished and cluttered: wood rafters, wood floors, strewn extra furniture, cedar chests and old wardrobes of clothing.
I am aware of my dream within this dream. Lying on my back, my body becomes charged with electricity. In the dream I try to understand the physical experience. It is not painful, but it is overwhelming because it is so mysterious and powerful. The circuitry between every cell is complete.
I decide to wake up. I have a friendly conversation with the beautiful, calm woman. She is hosting a large conference and has invited me to stay in her house for the event. I tell her about the sensation of my body being fully charged. Not just tingling, not just vibrating. She is a good listener, perhaps one of my spirit guides.
A small boy has come with me to the conference. He rested in the attic in a toddler bed when I was lucid dreaming.
I Sing the Body Electric, by Walt Whitman:
I sing the body electric,
The armies of those I love engirth me and I engirth them,
They will not let me off till I go with them, respond to them,
And discorrupt them, and charge them full with the charge of the soul.

Day notes:
One meaning of the Tower tarot card is electricity. Today I got my second electrical bill that had double wattage compared to a year ago. I am trying to figure that out. Using more power.
When I consider my spirit guides, I always think they are in the right corner of the bedroom, near the foot of my bed. I don’t know why.
I am in charge? My body? My soul? My ancestry?
Or I am charged, with what responsibilities?
