4/14/23 Playing with a Green Snake

I am playing with a medium-sized, green snake. It is in a basket with part of its body and head is up, out of the basket. It keeps trying to strike/bite me, but it is a game. A guy in his twenties come. I tell him not to get too close. He has never done played like this before.

A “If this were my dream” from Elaine:

Healing, Playful Transformation

If this were my dream, I am engaged in a playful game with a medium sized green snake. For me, green is a color of healing and this snake is a symbol of my own healing, especially after my knee surgery. I like playing with this snake and realize that my healing is beginning; I have shed the pain, for the most part from my surgery. There is still a give and take as I move forward. The healing is occurring and yet I am still in the game of the healing process. A new beginning, like spring, is a promise of new life, a transformation for me. I feel this in my heart chakra. The young man in his twenties could represent the active part of myself when I was in my 20’s and could move freely. However, that part of me has changed and needs to be careful, not to be too active and respect my healing process.

4/19/23 Riding the Wild Horse

My family owns two horses. One horse is tame and the other is wild. The tame horse is ready to ride and I assume I will ride her. However, now I am to ride the wild horse. I am shown a cart that I will use with the wild horse. I am to play a game like golf? She will be harnessed to the cart. I talk to one of my sisters to see if she’ll ride the tame horse and come with me. The last scene is me bringing a long, flowing, silky, blue gown that has a train, upstairs and hang it on the door of Molly and Sheila’s (sisters) bedroom door. The wild horse will be wearing the gown. Molly and Sheila are both sleeping.

Feeling: both excited and nervous

Poem after doing Victoria’s workshop:

I am an old, wooden cart, full of opposites.

I am both wild and tame.

I am meditative, yet can connect with others.

Sometimes I am private

Other times I like to be the center of attention

I am on the door step of change

And I will be awaking soon

to share my humor, heart, anger,

intelligence and outspokenness

From Denise, “If this were my dream”:

My family of origin behaves both wild and tame. Even though I am private, often the secret one not communicated to directly, I have the power of the wild. I can tame and inspire the mustang-mare. Freedom is important, but I am the caring seamstress, the affectionate knitter of family comfort. I don’t yet fully understand my fit, but I will be shown in the world with other people, and adorned for my full awakening. I am happy to bring this natural celebration up, up, up the stairs. It is that time of life. My confidence is smooth and flows like water.

4/3/23 About to Fly a Small Plane

I am in the cockpit of a small plane. I am in the pilot’s seat. Next to me is another woman. Next to her is the pilot. He is foreign, maybe Latino. I am to fly the plane. The pilot is telling me what to do. I am nervous. I am not sure how this will work. The other woman I am with is much more daring and spontaneous.
