Old Black And White Photos

(Wednesday, December 10, 2025)

A close feminine friend or family member is with me in the dream, on my left side. We travel together.

I see a big surprise at my left. We are driving up a steep hill and big, stony mountains pop up. I tell my friend we are in Colorado, although the mountains are empty of trees. They look more like the bare mountains in New Mexico or Arizona.

My goal is to arrive at a Minnesota location where I will be gifted old, square, black-and-white family photos. We get there, in the green, forestry environment of our state. I am handed the photos by someone on my right, whom I do not see. Excited, I rush through them all, but find no photos of myself, which I expected. It had been my plan to post them online. Even so, I feel the history of the imagery.

Day notes:

I have been doing ancestral work with my niece Tristann and my cousin Tom. I found one photo from Ancestry.com of my great-great grandmother Scholastica Josephine Cratte.

The photos remind me of Bonnie’s dream of the large (and small) photography shop.

From Bonnie: There are lefts and rights in the dream. To me this is a balance of feminine and masculine energy which is a good balance. There is movement from the bare mountains to the forest of Minnesota. Green-new life. Maybe you are carrying part of Scholastica in you, especially with that name and your love of words.
