Journey Towards Impeaching Richard Nixon

(Saturday, August 3, 2019) moon waxing crescent Virgo / tarot Knight of Swords

I had to lie in bed for an hour or more, trying to get this dream to percolate to the surface. Most of it is still missing, but I’m surprised any of it showed up at all.

The dream location is a series of islands, like British Columbia, but many of the island beaches are covered in tall grass. More like Virginia or the Carolinas. There are no mountains.

Hundreds of people are on boats, moving from island to island. West. We share a goal: Make it to the farthest island and impeach Richard Nixon.

Traveling is difficult for me. When the boats land at different harbors and people interact with each other in various buildings, I am often ignored or dismissed. My manic sister Jamie is quite verbally abusive. She criticizes me for not being on schedule, not being aggressive.

Still, I am relieved that presidential impeachment is in the visible future. We will all make it to Nixon’s island and confront him together.

Waking Dream: Tree Of Life Jill

(Friday, August 2, 2019)

After two days of travel, I arrived home last night from Jill’s “Healing the Ancestors” retreat in B.C. Completely exhausted, I crawled into bed and gazed out my west-facing window at the tall backyard pines.

Jill’s beautiful face appeared at the side of a treetop. Not just a sculptural image, but a highly active little movie. She transformed from her 70s to her 20s and every age in-between: laughing, chatting and engaging with another spirit that was not visible to me. The presence was strongest in my left eye but also perceived in my right. Breathtaking. I felt completely blessed by Jill. I have NEVER had that kind of vision. I knew it would last as long as I remained attentive. Eventually I had to close my eyes and sleep.

Waking Dreams Loons and Tunes

(Sunday, July 21, 2019) moon waning gibbous Pisces / tarot 9 of wands

Over the last two weekends I have awakened to loon calls from Parker’s Lake. I heard the loon again this morning. I fell back asleep, and when seemingly only half awake I heard someone playing a trumpet for just a few bars. Could that have been real at 6 or 7 in the morning?
