Dan (brother in waking life) stains a dock with a younger person. He stains it red. He keeps getting the wrong stain. (it keeps coming off)

I go with him to get more stain and I decide to get brown paint for my dock. Dan asks if he can borrow my paint brush. He reminds me he gave or bought it for me a few years ago. I tell him I have it, but left it at home.

I go into the store. It is more like a “Galleria” type store: fancy. Periodically, there is a deer that walks through the store. There is a small goat that stands behind these people at a counter (looks like a hotel counter where you check in). I worry they will step back onto it.

It is crowded in the store. I talk to images-1a saleswoman about the paint. She goes away. There are others waiting to get waited on. She comes back and has the brown paint, but needs to do something else with it. (and goes away again.)

Feeling: Happy, a bit afraid for the goat and a bit nervous with all the people in the store, but glad I got waited on right away.

I am up at the lake. It feels like Grandnan’s cottage (her new one). We wait for a woman who Denise knows who will work with us on our complexions. I look out the window and see dark clouds in the distance to the right. A storm is coming. A whole group of people on horse back come riding toward the cottage. One of them is Denise. She has on a light brown straw hat (man’s hat). I say the other people can come in if they want. Denise doesn’t want that. She is worried about the woman coming (complexion woman) because of the storm. I go and put on this darling, summer frock: light, small print-very light mauve. One of the other women is with me. She loves the dress and asks where I got it. I say from up here. It has a tie in the back. I look out the window and see that the clouds are now over the cottage. (this is how the dream ends—however, as I lay in bed I remember a scene of me laying down on a straw mat the size of a small throw rug. It is medium to light brown with some red. I had gotten it from Gretchen. I feel very relaxed laying on it.) The feelings in the dream were happy and afraid. I had the dream after two days back from our vacation.

Here is my follow up dream after dream work last night.

I am upstairs in the den and then in the hall by the bathroom/front door and see three robbers go by. They have black stockings over their heads. I go down the basement to hide. The basement is full of things. The bar is surrounded by stuff and there are these sheets of carpet (thin like indoor/outdoor carpet- 5 or 6 of them). I lift them to get through. I go around to the back of the bar. Kelsi (daughter) is already there sitting down. We don’t talk. She knows about the robbers. She then gets up and goes. She is going to confront the robbers. I am scared she will get hurt (even raped). (While I am in that hypnogogic state, I go over ideas like verbally telling the robbers to leave, getting a shot gun and confronting them, etc.)

Notes: I obviously am resisting something. I like that Kelsi, my young self, is going to confront them.

My meditation (from a book) had all to do with revealing our true selves!
