12/28/23 Not Possible to Photograph (April)

I wake up in the morning crying very hard. I realize I cannot make it as a photographer. I then go and take a shower. After my shower, I go to my sister, Chris’ room. She is laying on the floor crying. I get down on the floor with her and ask her if she is crying because her husband died. I have a hard time remembering his name. Then I do. It is Keenan. (in waking life, her husband’s name is Richard and he is alive. My son-in-law is named Keenan)

I then go to the Celebration of Life for Chris’ husband. When I go in, his brother comes up and gives me a big hug. I feel uncomfortable. I feel I should feel more compassion for him, but I don’t.

I go into the backroom where there is a kitchen to make myself a cup of tea. My sister, Becky, is there. She shows me these two, large cards (like Tarot cards). They are pictures of basements. She says they represent snow. I ask her about going to Rutgers (a resort in northern Minnesota). Chris told me she had recently been there.

We go outside. There is a waterslide with warm water, running down it. It is winter outside. Becky asks if I want to go down it. I say no.

I am then inside at the Celebration of Life. A woman comes up to me and asks if I would take some photos of the singer who is singing for the celebration. I go to find my coat with my iPhone in the pocket. I look all over and cannot find it.

The last scene is where Paul and I are driving home. Paul is driving. I tell him I don’t have my iPhone. I feel nervous, but accepting.

Susanne: Big hug. You’ve been through a lot of heartache. (I told the group about being cut off by Kevin and Antonia). I am fascinated by the water in your dream. The first appearance are the tears you shed, the shower (like tears warm water flowing down with the purpose of cleansing), crying again now on the floor: emotion touches earth, warm water in the form of tea, cold water in the form of snow on Tarot cars, warm water on the water slide. The Tarot cards seem to be a positive turning point. Snow is frozen water, frozen emotions. It’s easier to analyze in that form. The final form is warm water running down a water slide. Usually children play with that. Somehow I get a positive feeling because of this ending.

Meredith: Family dynamics and feelings of loss. If it were my dream. Water is a cleansing element. The smart phone missing may be associated with lack of the ability to communicate. The tarot type cards, hints for future efforts to dig into the depths of the issues. Much love and hugs to you.

12/27/23 A Woman Sets up a Bomb in the Hold of a Ship (March)

A woman is in the hold of a ship with other passengers. She is setting up a trip wire that is attached to a bomb. I think she pulls it off and it will go off later.

Meredith: In my own experience, I think world affairs are slipping into my dreams. What is scheduled to go off later that has a huge impact?

Christian: What might it be that is “on hold”? A ship is on the surface of the water, with the surface being the interface with the conscious mind and the waters of the unconscious mind. The deeper one goes, the deeper one is in the unconscious. A dream is set to go off and later on it will trip something in my memory.

Lauralee: I would wonder what it is I’d like to pull off?

Susanne: After traveling through air and on land, my inner anima now travels at sea. She is a leader, but not a good one. She is wired, but her antenna’s don’t pick up the good stuff that is floating around at sea: thoughts, whites, longings, even. No, she is connected to the third element, the one we missed until now. Fire. She uses her fire to maybe? sink the ship that she sails on through life. If she gets her passengers on fire, she herself will go as well unless she has a safe escape set up. How is your life boat sailing the seas now, Bonnie? Do you still have the fire in you to set the boat in the right direction? To pull the wire out of the bomb?

12/26/23 Attracted to a Man (February)

I am with a small group of men and women. We are all in our 20’s. We fly into a small airport in a small, red plane, to pick up a young man who has just arrived. The woman pilot is not comfortable about flying back, so the plane is now a vehicle we will drive. There are four of us. I sit behind the driver and the man we picked up sits behind the passenger seat. I feel attracted to him.

The man asks about the lake we live on. He wants to know how big the waves get. I tell him they get very big on the large part of the lake, but not on our small bay. We arrive home.

Now it is the house where I grew up. I go upstairs. I put black eye-liner on my right eyelid. I also put the liner to the side of my eye and up to my eyebrow in the shape of a rectangle. I think about where the new man will sleep. I think he and the man who sleeps in the basement, need to come upstairs to the room with twin beds. And the woman who is in that room, should sleep in the basement.

Scene where my mother is upstairs with me. There are three, black and white photographs on the wall of a bedroom She is in them. She is in her 20’s. She is with a group of other young people. They are a downhill ski group. I see a pair of skis, however, the photo has been taken outdoors in the summer.

The man I am attracted to comes upstairs. We go into a bedroom with two women who are not feeling well and are laying down. I tell him we need to leave.

EOD

Daynotes: I just started the 12 Holy Days with Suzanne Van Doorn. The theme is about Hercules having to perform 12 impossible feats so he won’t be killed by this kind. Last night the idea was to cut off the head of this monster that is half snake. It has to do with addictions; not necessarily alcohol or drugs. You got me what this dream is saying unless it has to do with being addicted to men!!

Susanne: The red that featured in the dream shared by Asha Sahni where she dreams about a man with red hair manifests in your dream as a red plane. Passion is flying around. A woman is the pilot, but is not comfortable flying to my house. Why is that? What are your thoughts about that? The dream continues. It’s not me behind the steering wheel, and we just transformed from air to earth. Who is driving the car? Are you able to see that? You sit behind her or him so I’m not sure if you know. (it is the woman pilot). Both of you are sitting in the backseat, that is rather erotic, intimate in my projection. We have a conversation about my safety. I got an eye on this man. I even draw out the picture on my right eye. Now I connect upstairs with downstairs. I am making connections. I am changing sleeping places and I reconnect with my mother. This theme of how your mother taught you to love and arrange your life around your needs is in my eyes (pun intended) the energy in February for you. Dive into your mother and daughter connection. Might she be still steering the wheel of your car/airplane? And if that is the case, what can you change to feel safe enough to fly home?

Asha: If it were my dream, I would wonder whether the number of men and women related to my experience aged 4-6. I am conscious that I live on a lake, but that transport in the dream includes plane, car and skis: not water based transport or swimming.

Lauralee: Things were black and white with mom. (aren’t they always with moms?) More color with me. Positioning where others are is important (anything important about your current position?) Eyebrows define the face, also eyeliner is defining. I am very drawn to the rectangle to the right of the eye. The right eye of Horus comes to mind. In my projection mothers and daughters jockey for position.
