This dream feels vivid when I wake up: My home is shared with Chris, Cullan, Wyn and Oona. It is very large, made of stone, cement and stucco. We are connected to other houses made in the same pattern: one story with hundreds of rooms. I have been doing some internal chores (homework), interacting with a few neighbors . I enter a small bathroom to take a shower. Inside the shower I notice that the bottoms of my feet are pure black, probably dirt. I make sure they are rinsed clean.
The scene changes to the outdoors. My land is expansive: a gentle, tall slope is covered with a field of long green grass, like the nature I experienced in Glastonbury. At the bottom of the hill is a forest. Along the mound are plenty of giant, old trees that live alone, not in the woods.
Now I am working outside, not inside. It is a warm, sunny day. Midway down the knoll I see two small wooden railings like those that are used at the edges of walking bridges. The rails are next to each other, not separate, and stand over a little round ditch that has concrete at the bottom. The hole is about four feet deep and the diameter is the same. Not a dangerous spot, but something that needs to be filled or covered up so people don’t fall in.
Chris is nearby and I tell him I am going to remove the railings, as they are starting to fall apart. Pieces of the wood are broken. I also tell him I am going to plant a few baby trees that will become big trees. He asks why, thinking the present amount are fine, beautiful. I say that I want to make sure there are trees in the future, years after we are gone.
Day notes:
One day later, on Friday evening, I have two flashes from this dream about being in a room with my community, almost a feeling of telepathy. Early Monday morning I have a flash about walking down to the bottom of the hill, seeing a river below the forest.
I have dreamt of a green, green environment many times in my life.
I rode my bike to Lake Harriet this morning. There were several circular holes on 48th Street, ready for sewer repairs. Hole, whole? On the west side of the lake, construction workers were replacing a section of the tar walking path with a wide cement sidewalk. The wooden railings remind me of the Peace Garden bridge that I passed by today.
On Monday I met with my therapist Anna. I told her about my 2017 prescient Glastonbury Black Wolf dream which told me England is an ancestral home. I did not believe that at the moment but six months later my uncle John Luther shared a family tree and I found out it was true.
Tom Jones (a Brit) famously sang the song with the title of this dream. A prescient element (quite a few in this dream): we are going to the Sheehan family reunion on Saturday in Kellogg, Minnesota. I looked it up on the map today and it says “Greenfield Township.” I have never known that name before. Am I adding to the “family tree”?
St. Mary’s Cemetery in Minneiska, our Sheehan family plot.
The cemetery is on a gentle, green bluff with ancient trees.
Green: growth / newbie (not ripened or matured) / heart chakra
Concrete: not abstract
If this were my dream, I feel like I am in a transition. At the beginning of the dream, I am doing chores/house work inside my house of many rooms; a house that is like a castle-made of strong material. Maybe this represents my ancestry. I then take a shower where I notice I have black dirt on the bottom of my feet. To me this is a sign/message for me to go out into nature; to connect with mother earth. Being outside with the green, green grass, the forest, hills and old trees that live alone is the healing I need. It is where I feel the most alive.
When outside, I see the circular ditch with the broken railings going across it. The railings are falling apart and need fixing. Railings are things that people can hold onto to keep them safe from falling. So, maybe, what I thought in the past, would keep me safe no longer does. I also want to remove the concrete bottom of the ditch so if I, or others fall in, we won’t be hurt. I like the hole (whole). I can see below the surface-a sense of seeing deeper. Another thought I had last night was that maybe the hole is a hole for planting a large tree. You said that the hole could be a grave. It could be a hole for me when I pass and become one of the large trees that live alone. Also, Peter, said something about the dirt on the bottom of your feet representing your roots like a tree having roots. You will some day take your place among the ancestors. The ending with the dreamer planting trees for the future is so beautiful. It is thinking about the grandchildren and also leaving a legacy.
