There are lots of these designs made of blocks on the floor. The woman and a man say children have come in and taken them apart, making a mess. I start to take one apart. There are about 5 pieces. I then ask if that is ok for me to do. The woman says yes, if I buy it. I don’t think it is my style. I don’t think it would look good in my house. My house is the house I lived in on Brooks Lane in Minnetonka Beach (a darling cottage and my first house).

The woman puts the block piece up on the wall plus two framed pictures. They have a modern look. The flat pieces have abstract flowers (one each). I am now with a woman friend. The other woman asks her if she thinks they look good in my house. I am starting to think that they would

1. Introducing Jean and Vern Mikkelson to a Young, Great Nephew

I introduce Jean and Vern Mikkelson to a young, great nephew at a large gathering of people. I tell Jean about my family of origin and all the kids that have been born since she and Vern have died. Feeling: pleasant

Notes: Jean and Vern lived in the neighborhood where I grew up. I used to babysit for their oldest son, Tommy. Vern played basketball for the Lakers. Jean had a great sense of humor and would get my mom to laugh.

2. A Beautiful, Young Woman gets stabbed in the Back

A beautiful, young woman with special powers gets stabbed two times in the back. A couple of men do this to her. She falls down on the ground onto her stomach. The two knives are left in her back. The two men stand back.

Her spirit then creates this “dance” behind a shear curtain. Her spirit dances with 10 or so other spirits. The dance is to get the men to take out the knives so she can live.

Day Notes: Jeanne and Tom are here for the weekend. We had a nice walk in the woods and a beautiful bonfire. Lots of talking. Tom and Jeanne also asked a question and pulled a Tarot card. We worked with the card like we would a dream. Both cards referred to having good boundaries. Tom’s was the 5 of Pentacles and Jeanne’s was the Emperor. The washing machine broke at the townhouse and I worked on getting a handyman to go and fix it.

A recurring dream wakes me up early this morning. I’m in our historical house with Chris. He is lying comfortably in a double bed in one of the many bedrooms. I move from room to room and pull away wallpaper, pull away old carpet. One piece of paper on a ceiling reveals a large, decorative set of windows. Some are oval. Skylights.

Beneath the paper and rugs are completely restored wood floors and plaster walls. The structure of the house is strongly maintained. I tell Chris it is an easy task for me to paint the rooms in our home. We are both pleased that caring for the old building is something I can manage on my own.

I move to a large bedroom and notice several sets of open cabinets near the far wall. When I peek inside, I see many starving stray cats and kittens. I panic immediately and go to the kitchen to grab cans of food for the grieving, anxious felines. What a relief I have found them! I want them to thrive. One distinctive glass jar of food is highly decorative, almost Victorian in style. It seems medicinal.

The dream has many visual details that are very engaging, even when I wake up.

Day notes:

I spent time with coworkers yesterday and some of us discussed cats and strays. My friend Mary drove me home from the event and she commented on the beautiful houses in the neighborhood.

I had my quarterly meeting with my financial advisor and she told me not to worry about the repairs we have been making to the house. She says it will work out fine. We are waiting for the painter who did our porch to give us a bid for the eaves.

Because of the strays in the dream, I made a donation today to one of the animal rescue nonprofits I support, the Humane Society. In the evening a story came up on the news about 4,000 beagles they have saved.
