A New Friend Drives Me Away From The Complicated

(Saturday, January 27, 2024) waning gibbous moon Virgo / tarot 5 of pentacles

A long dream. This is what I remember: I have items to carry out into a vehicle. I see my parents’ large SUV that is full of stuff already. Too much stuff! Their life mission includes often correcting me for my preference of the minimal. They enjoy the complicated. They think that is reality.

Then I notice a smiling, handsome man behind their vehicle, welcoming me into his smaller, simpler car. Such a relief. In fact, a blessing. Is this my new relationship? He is a kind and wise human being. Is this what I deserve? I hope so!

Experiencing The Colorful Void And Returning To The Physical Realm

(Friday, January 26, 2024) full moon Leo / tarot two of pentacles

In the middle of the night I dream about tidying a house that feels like my childhood home. Day-to-day chores, nothing inspiring. At the end of the dream I have the sense of my father passing, being on the other side.

I wake up and focus on the dream so I can record it later in the day, but then I fall back to sleep. I dream about the dream. The house feels neglected and overly simple: not enough pleasant furniture or decor. Fortunately, my memory is strongly connected to the other house that I have been dreaming about for years, the communal home full of beautiful things. It’s still my house. I decide to bring some furniture back from the communal house to the unadorned family house.

In this dream, I am in my Rustic Lodge bedroom, contemplating the decoration options. The dreams have shifted from the Fridley house to my Tangletown house. I head down the steep stairs to begin my journey to the communal, unlimited house, but I feel very dizzy. I’m afraid to walk down what Cullan calls “the death stairs.”

I re-enter the bedroom and decide to leave the physical realm. I decide to “enter the unconscious.” Suddenly my body is gone. I am part of colorful, rhythmic waves. I feel the very powerful energy. My spirit is flowing, expanding throughout this eternal, cosmic motion.

I am grateful I can make an easy transition from the physical realm to the magical realm. A lucid dream, right? But I worry: can I return to my physical body? It takes quite a while, hard work, but I make it back to my body and my bedroom. My physical being feels unloved, and is bossing around two little baby girls I create from the void. I realize I need to let them be. Perhaps I did not spend enough time in the void. Allow it to transform my mindset.

Day notes:

I have been very dizzy today, even after my three mile walk.

1/20/24 A Ritual

I see Bob Hanson dressed up like an indigenous male with dark red paint on his face and a small headdress. He is on stilts so he is even taller than he is (6.7). He is walking around this house. Renee, his estranged wife, is there also. She is dressed somewhat similarly and is on shorter stilts. (she is also a very tall person). The three of us open a small container and there is a handmade symbol of a god. The message is for us to go up on this roof.

The scene changes. I am now with Renee (no costume). We are in Japan. We go into this building that has five or six stories. It is on a lake or the ocean. We see lots of people swimming in the ocean. We go inside the building and sneak around, finding stairs to go up. The building is also a hotel. We go up a flight of stairs and end up in a line that is going into the dining room. We then find another set of stairs and go up to a higher level. Now we are in a large, open room that feels like a mechanical room. We see these concrete stairs and go up and up and we end up on the roof. The roof is small and shaped like a T. It has black tar paper on it.

A person dressed up similar to Bob gives something to Renee to take somewhere. There is a woman sunbathing on the roof. Somehow we get down to the ground. I help someone out by swimming. (this part is vague) I viscerally feel myself swimming. The water is a comfortable temperature. I feel strong and positive.
