(Tuesday, June 28, 2016) moon: third quarter Aries / tarot: Witch (Magician)
My U.S. marketing coworkers and I are visiting the Netherlands. Sem W., from our Amersfoort office, is taking us on a walking tour, like the one Willem does in Kerkrade/Herzogenrath at the dream conference. Cyndi and Louis are there (Bonnie and Peter?). We are standing on a stone plaza. Sem points out a new building at the edge of the square that is his favorite: many stories tall and made of bricks the color of Dutch chocolate.
I realize I have not brought my purse with me, even though it is a small travel-size bag. I tell everyone I need ten minutes to run back to the hotel and fetch it. I climb several flights of stairs to get to our suite. It seems I am sharing a room with Cyndi. We have a huge walk-in closet, and I decide I need to change into clothing more suitable for a hike.
I pull out white wooden drawers, one by one, from the generous built-in dresser and examine the contents. Everything is Cyndi’s, which means the capris she so favors are too short and too wide for me. The patterns are wildly floral, the colors bright. Trousers for an extrovert.
I manage to find a pair of my own trousers crumpled on the floor of the closet, and I step into them. They are the black hiking capris I wore in the Netherlands in 2011, full of useful, zippered pockets. I fill a top pocket, near my waistband, with my ID and credit card, and velcro it securely shut. The pocket is too small to use for heavy Euro coins, so plastic will have to do. My search for clothes and money has taken much longer than the ten minutes I promised.
Day notes:
Funny how my dreams are mirroring the dream conference, and stirring up old memories. Peter would say Cyndi is my shadow side. We share a closet.
Drawers = trousers, pants, underwear, and also people who draw pictures. Draw toward oneself, physically and energetically. Manifest.
I require walking clothes (an outer covering), clothes for movement and travel. Exploration. I had wished to attend a workshop by Jill Purce (purse) prior to the conference.
