4/20/25 A Seal

I wrote this in the middle of the night. There is a seal with my friend, Gina, and I. We go to a shopping center. We run into Jerry, Deb’s old boyfriend, and his girl friend/wife named Edi. Gina and I then head home. When we get back, I tell Gina I will feed the seal some fruit. Gina has her horse and her house to sell.

What surprised me the most was having a seal in my dream. I don’t think I have ever dreamt of a seal. I think of seals as playful like when I’ve seen shows at a water park. Here again is a Deb reference.

4/18/25 Large, Brown Snake

Paul finds a very large, medium brown snake with a pattern on its skin. He is a good 15 feet long and 8 inch diameter. He also finds another animal or thing, but I cannot remember what.

At first I think the snake is dead. But then it starts to group longer and longer from the head end. I tell Paul that. I have a cat who turns into a two to three year old Kelsi. I am afraid the snake will eat her. I have something I can feed the snake.

Scene where my family all leave for a vacation but there is not enough room for me. I stay with the snake. I worry the snake will hurt other people, but it doesn’t. EOD

This dream was a bit fuzzy and hard to bring back details. I have not been remembering dreams for a while. Paul and I are recently back from our trip to Winslow and Monument Valley. I didn’t sleep well the night before and got into my OCD thinking about Kevin. I asked Wisdom for what I needed.

In the past Mittens (cat) and Kelsi have represented my soul. Kevin wrote on my birthday another blame and shame text. I responded. This is what I wrote:

Dear Kevin, I am sorry you are so angry at me. I hope some day you can forgive me. I also have been angry at you for cutting me/us off and I work at forgiving you . It seems you want me to admit how wrong I’ve been and I want you to admit how unfair you have been. We have talked many times without catharsis /resolution. I love and care about you as well as your family. And I hope some day we can be reconciled. However, I think we need some help to do this. I suggest finding a neutral, third person, who is experience in mediation to help us. Please have a think about this. (I wrote this on 4/15/25 and have not heard back)

The snake could represent my growth towards self-love.

I worked this dream with Bryn and Susan. Here is what I wrote: If this were my dream, my male/action part of my psyche lets the snake out of some enclosure. It is a medium, brown color-the color of earth and nature. It is very large-larger than a boa. It starts to grow larger. I am not afraid of it hurting me, but I am afraid of it eating Mittens(cat)/young Kelsi-a part of me that is vulnerable. I feed the snake some food that satisfies its hunger. Food is a basic need. Once that is satisfied, other needs can be satisfied. My family goes on a vacation and there is not enough room for me. I am not upset about this. Maybe I need more room for myself right now. I need time to get to know this snake/life force. It is time to do my inner work and not to be distracted from that. I need to get stronger and not so influenced by what others think and to stop doubting myself. I need a balance. I want to integrate my shadow parts, but not give my personal power away.

4/5/25 Skate Skiing

I am with Deb and another woman who is young. We are skiing. I take off before the young woman to get a lead because the young woman will catch up to me easily. I feel great skiing. It is very visceral. (in waking life I never tried skate skiing. I used to go cross country skiing with Deb years ago at French Park)
