An Afro-American artist creates ten paintings. He is then not allowed to create any more by the Mayor of the city. Then he can convert one of his colored pictures to black and white. Then, he can convert the other nine to black and white. Lastly, he can create more colored paintings, but they have to be a smaller size. (I am not sure what the paintings look like). The artist is very patient.
4/14/23 Playing with a Green Snake
I am playing with a medium-sized, green snake. It is in a basket with part of its body and head is up, out of the basket. It keeps trying to strike/bite me, but it is a game. A guy in his twenties come. I tell him not to get too close. He has never done played like this before.
A “If this were my dream” from Elaine:
Healing, Playful Transformation
If this were my dream, I am engaged in a playful game with a medium sized green snake. For me, green is a color of healing and this snake is a symbol of my own healing, especially after my knee surgery. I like playing with this snake and realize that my healing is beginning; I have shed the pain, for the most part from my surgery. There is still a give and take as I move forward. The healing is occurring and yet I am still in the game of the healing process. A new beginning, like spring, is a promise of new life, a transformation for me. I feel this in my heart chakra. The young man in his twenties could represent the active part of myself when I was in my 20’s and could move freely. However, that part of me has changed and needs to be careful, not to be too active and respect my healing process.
4/3/23 About to Fly a Small Plane
I am in the cockpit of a small plane. I am in the pilot’s seat. Next to me is another woman. Next to her is the pilot. He is foreign, maybe Latino. I am to fly the plane. The pilot is telling me what to do. I am nervous. I am not sure how this will work. The other woman I am with is much more daring and spontaneous.
