3/23/26 A Basketball Ritual

I am at my house (not waking life). It is a quaint cottage. A neighbor, down the same driveway is having a party/get together. He is like a cult leader. I drive my car down the drive to see if I can park it there and then see many cars parked in his yard. He is having a music gathering in his house. It feels religious. I realize there is no room for me to park my car and drive back to my house. It feels like we live out in the country.

Kathleen and Shaney come to my house. In the living room I have two small basketball hoops on either side of the room. They are like kid basketball hoops. Two younger boys are to come and shoot baskets also, though they never show up.

Shooting baskets feels like a healing ritual. This part of the dream is vague. However, there is a feeling like everything slows down and this basketball ritual is healing. I don’t remember Shaney and I shooting baskets. (it is more like putting the ball into the basket). However, Kathleen does shoot baskets.

3/22/26 Visiting Wealthy People

I am with another woman. We go visit these wealthy people at their house. The wife has long, blond hair. We don’t see them when we go and visit, except I see the wife through glass doors, across the house sitting perfectly still, looking straight ahead. I wave at her and there is no response. The couple has two young boys, but we do not see them either.

The maid is an older woman in her 60’s. She is overweight and very kind. She drives my friend and I home. I have to climb around her in the seat to get out. It is awkward. We have visited these wealthy people more than once. My friend and I are younger.

3/21/26 I Decide to Not go to California

I am a young adult. I am with three others: two guys and one girl. We are in Australia. We are staying at the girl’s parents’ house. Her mother is Asian. There is a small dog and cat playing with a stuffed animal.

I stay in the house and the other three young adults walk to a store. I write a check and ask one of the guys to cash it at the store. I write on the check that I am a friend of the family. The store is a small, neighborhood store.

When they come back to the house I find out that one of the guys was caught in a lie at the store. He said he was from California. The owner of the store does not believe him. He asks him some questions like what is the price of milk and other items. The guy is telling me the story. He is a braggart.

We then all go to church with the parents. When the service is over, everyone starts to leave. I know that Ted Middleton is in the church, though I do not see him. The two guys and girl get into the car. They are going to drive to California. I decide not to go. I start walking back to the church. I do not know what I am going to do.

Feeling: comfortable with my decision. A bit nervous about the future.

Incubation: What is one thing that will help me own my power in a healthy way for the benefit of myself and others?

Daynotes: Paul and I are working on a mesquite backboard for our bed. I got upset on how it is turning out. The black resin and turquoise is not what I imagined. Then Paul got into wanting to have it done right away and that triggered me. I had a cry and listened to an “acceptance” meditation. I have some perfectionism and want to do it right. Paul is more half ass about it. It hasn’t felt like we are playing together!
