Fragment: Art Leap

(Wednesday, June 28, 2023) waxing gibbous moon Scorpio / tarot ace of swords

I dream I am heading up to the Art Leap. My sister Jo appears in the dream. I need to put aside an art project and schedule four days of vacation. This could be prescient as I have the design of a clay project ready to go once I finish some outdoor house painting projects.

In the early part of the dream I am lying in my bed, waking up, and people are near me are working on tasks with their own agendas.

There is much more to the dream but I slept so long and sound last night it has trickled away.

Day notes:

Jo and I have recently been conversing a lot more than we have in the past. That feels good, but many of the discussions are about my father. He was in the hospital again last week and is definitely on decline. My brother and his partner are planning a big 90th birthday party for our dad. Jo and I feel that is a mistake. He’s not really up for it.

We Are One, We Are None

In the third week of June, 2023, I had two nearly identical dreams.

I am in a community space that is unlimited. Membership in our community is also unlimited. I have no plot or agenda in the dreams. Neither do any of our community. I have no sense of being the focus of the dream or even the observer. We are all equal. The dream is about our eternal, universal connection to each other and manifested dimensions. At least that is my take based on Thich Nhat Hanh’s discussion about the nature of existence in his book “No Death, No Fear.”

Cleansing And Costume

(Saturday, June 3, 2023)

Chris and I are in a large room in a commercial building. The room is the size of a gym, the same dimensions. A huge, empty blue plastic pool fills the floor of the room. He is distracted by his paperwork project, but I enthusiastically ask if I should get the pool filled and ready for Wyn to play. He says yes.

I get down on my hands and knees to begin cleaning the plastic pool. It’s a lot of work and it takes me a long time. But my energy and emotions are very upbeat. Happy.

Once the pool is ready to be inflated and filled with water, I move on to a communal shower room. The shower curtains are floral-patterned fabric. I notice my old boss Louis is sitting outside of the shower space and can see who comes in and out of the curtained area. This gives me no concern at all. I enjoy my cleansing shower.

I find my dressy clothes, I suppose in a gym locker room, and put them on. I walk to the pool. My dream observer sees how pretty and eccentric my dress and jacket are, a style similar to what I wore in my 30s when I was a “clothing horse.” I feel full of fun.

Day notes:

Chris and Louis are Virgo artists. Both of them always copy other art. They don’t create their own subjects or styles.
