Yesterday there was a major news story connecting raccoon dogs in China to the origin of the covid-19 virus. One of my pandemic dreams (Dire Wolves Return) was about canines spreading the pandemic. For years the global hypothesis was that bats had infected humans, but I always wondered if we would find out a different story.

A second prescient element in that dream was the promise from the wolves that my family would not be harmed by the virus. Three years later, Chris and I, Cullan and Hillary, Wyn and Oona have always tested negative for covid.

I had an earlier dream about attacking wolves (Prehistoric Backyard With A Dire Wolf Pack And One Elephant). I didn’t know about covid then, but I did one month later.

Today I started to add a second piece to the mask sculpture, based on my Old Work Complete, New Work Underway dream. I’m creating a little house that mounts on the wall above the mask. The mask strings will attach to the floor of the house. The house is inspired by the dwelling theme my dreams have had for several years, but I am also putting a dove on the front of the house, making it a kind of cuckoo clock. The two masks/faces in the “Old Work” dream are circled by the Wheel of Fortune: time. The house-clock confirms that dream element. And the dove is part of the Sheehan family crest. Erin go bragh!

I want to add small grasses, seeds and petals to the surface of the mask, so I won’t be able to finish until the snow melts. I should be able to find what I need in my prairie backyard. As I make progress on this artwork, I think about the next dream to express in clay.

Last night in dream group Jeanne shared a very big dream. Peter sent the following link that is a profound message linked to Jeanne’s dream:

Clarissa Pinkola-Estes is one of my favorite writers. Toward the end of her prayer (as I call it) she discusses soul light. This reminds me of my dream from 2017 that reveals my Spiritual Master (Bodhisattva Combats the Dark Force). He helps me replace “dim hall lights in the hotel so the Dark Force will not be able to hide. Most of the hotel guests dismiss our urgent, cautionary tale.”

After this dream it was my plan to create clay pieces with solar lights or candles. To reveal light. I did not get to that project, but now I feel it is important. I’ve started a mask piece and could easily add light behind the eyes. I’m creating a rough mold out of a paper mask I bought at Blicks.
