1/2/23 Two snippets

  1. I am with a baby on the floor. I change his diapers three times. Each time he has “blow outs”. He tells me each time it happens by saying “poop”. He likes toy cars. I help him pick out ones. It is fun.

2. I am with a group of people. We have a tour guide who is very good and the tour is very interesting. A secretary at school is writing up names of people who will go on another tour. Jeanne will get the list from her and distribute it. One woman teacher was laid off.

Feeling: excited

Asha: I am struck by your end comments with both snippets. I enjoy being with him. I like history. I recognize that he is the future. The school, history, is the past.

Svitlana: In my dream, I am tending to the Baby New Year. I am making sure the baby is fine, I am making sure it is comfortable. that he is happy and excited about his toys(options) and has his vehicles. I am a shaman who is building the future in the non-ordinary (dream) reality. These actions will manifest in my life.

Meredith: I take the good with the smelly things of life and am comfortable with how things unfold, enjoying the things I like no matter the circumstances. Such a positive attitude, acceptance and adaptability.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

(Tuesday, January 2, 2024)

Last night I listened to a New Thinking Allowed podcast about Ralph Waldo Emerson. Mark Matousek, author of “Lessons From An American Stoic: How Emerson Can Change Your Life,” believes him to be America’s highest spiritual guide. Emerson was William James’ godfather, which I had not known. My dream last year about Emerson (Transcendentalism And Double White Light) was a surprise to me, but now I realize it was very important. Perhaps I will read Mark’s book. The podcast summary: “Mark Matousek shows how Emerson reminds his country folks to trust the higher angels of their nature, trust their human potential and remember the importance of an examined life.”

Saturday, January 6, 2024: I shared much of the Transcendentalism dream with a group Victoria guided on Zoom. I realize today that the two white lights are the energy I feel in my heart and vertebrae (in the dream and when I awake). White light in a dream can be about connection to spiritually advanced beings. The dream seemed to remind Victoria of Transcendental Meditation. I told her I used to meditate daily but now focus on being active. Maybe the dream is a message about meditating again, although I feel like my daily walks are my meditations, and Sharon Blackie agrees with that idea.

Monday, January 8, 2024: This morning a dusting of snow was on the way. The sun was a bright white circle behind pale white clouds. The two white lights can be the sun and the moon.

Fragment: Kleopatra

(Tuesday, January 2, 2024)

A dream that has mostly disappeared. I dream I am Kleopatra (a former coworker in The Netherlands, from Greece). There is a white cat in a back room of the dream house, which assures his protection and care.
