Ancient Fish

(Tuesday, October 28, 2014) Waxing crescent moon in Capricorn / 8 of wands

I am standing looking out over the square courtyard in front of my house. The courtyard is bordered by a shallow stone wall that doesn’t even reach to my knees. Outside of the wall is simply empty space, and the space is white or clear, not black like “outer space.” Maybe it’s inner space? A stone sidewalk (made of square pavements) divides the yard into equal halves. On my right side is a lumpy, grassy green. I notice a lavender pincushion plant pushing its way up through the turf. I dig it up and contemplate a better place to replant. Maybe at the back of the house? The house in the dream is never visible to me.

I am distracted by the stone grotto at the left side of the square. The stones are porous and full of tunnels, like volcanic rock. My left foot slips down one of the tunnels into the water that runs beneath the grotto. I feel a slippery fish quickly wrap itself around my ankle, then pop up out of the water onto the garden bed. I am startled, a little shocked: the fish is prehistoric, one of the first fish to evolve on planet Earth.

Day notes:

A rocket crashed on the launchpad today, just like my dream called “Rocketship” from October 19.
