A Literal Dream

(Wednesday, August 14, 2024) waxing gibbous moon Sagittarius / tarot Hierophant

Last night I dream I have a giant old house with very tall ceilings. The only work that needs to be done is color: I am painting, painting, painting. I mention to some one that the rooms will be done in three years. So much more to go, but the results make me happy. The hard work doesn’t affect my energy. I am strong. My skills get better and better.

I finish a room, choosing two related colors, light blue and light green (the actual plan for my upstairs bedroom). Chris says he prefers grey. I take a break and walk outside, along a long, narrow sidewalk that is next to the side of the house. The concrete is original. Even the simple bushes and flowers seem like they are unchanged from past decades.

Day notes:

I finished the downstairs bedroom last week and it is beautiful. Chris and I are very pleased. Tremendous work: three coats on the ceiling, doors, baseboards and windows. Two coats on the sky-blue walls. Spray-painted copper on all of the window hinges, locks and pulls. New solar shades, bedspread, pillows and a new ceiling light/fan. Early this week I started prepping the dining room, which will be a much easier project.

The big house in the dream reminds me of the message I sent a distant relative via Ancestry. I mentioned the huge, fancy house my great-grandparents owned in Worthington, where my grandmother Helen was born. It was torn down years ago and turned into a parking lot near a commercial building.

The Corner House Is Embraced

(Tuesday, August 13, 2024) first quarter moon Sagittarius / tarot nine of wands

Cullan and Hillary are busy in my dream, taking care of their children Wyn and Oona. All is going well. Hillary is most noticeable in the dream and she is on my left. There is a house to the right of me, in our neighborhood. A corner house. They have been thinking about buying this one, but they don’t have time for the hard work of purchasing and upgrading real estate.

Suddenly I notice former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and former President Bill Clinton walking quickly towards the Victorian house. They have decided to buy it! When I look at it again, I see how run-down it is. Odd: the Clintons are extremely wealthy. Why choose this small, sad home?

Day notes:

Cullan and Hillary had a big fight on Sunday. They have decided to separate for a week and then have another conversation. Cullan is staying here. This makes me incredibly full of sorrow. Both are great parents. I hope they can keep working things out in a positive way. I see that my dream is about their relationship but I am unsure what the message is. My dreams are usually precognitive so I need to figure this out. In the dream Cullan and Hillary are getting along but what does the broken-down house mean? Ominous? Even though it is broken, a wealthy and successful couple (who have had serious marriage issues in real life) are going to take loving care of it.

Two Hillarys in the dream. The names Cullan and Bill (William) are similar.

Today I went to vote and when I walked on the sidewalk past a neighbor’s corner house I saw their children’s chalk-work. One was a big “W” (Wyn) and one was a big circle (like “O” for Oona). That felt like a potentially positive synchronicity. I hope.

Turning the corner? Or trapped, cornered? I think turning the corner, as the roads are open on both sides of a house on a street corner. Also the fixes the Clintons will make is a turn for the better.

Saturday, August 17: We worked on this dream today on Victoria’s Dream Circle. A few of the new titles from our group:
Let’s Fix The House
My Small Dream For Victoria’s Dream Circle
The Sometimes Small And Sad Of Loving
Beautify The Ancestral Story
I Bless This Small House

The Helpful Road Is Open On Two Sides (mine)

Saturday, August 17: One of the dream questions Victoria asked me was about the health issue that I mentioned over a month ago. I said I have aphasia. My first mention was “I have possible svPPA, mild cognitive impairment.” Victoria and Nori both said they have aphasia. They are not worried about me. I said I have been waiting since May for an appointment at the Mayo Clinic, and a friend believes if they are not in a hurry to see me it is probable that my health issue is not extreme. Amazing to hear that the writer Victoria also has aphasia! It makes me feel a little less anxious.

Sunday, August 18: Cullan and Hillary had a long conversation today while I hung out with Wyn and Oona. They have sorted things out and Cullan is back home with his family.

8/10/24 Unruly Class

I am leading/teaching a dream class at a college. A lot of extra people show up. I am in a square room with rectangular tables a long all four sides. I am standing in the middle. I ask some people to move so I don’t have people behind me.

It is a woman’s turn to share her dream. She is shy and has a quiet voice. She starts to read her dream. Many people are talking and I ask them to be quiet. They do so. Two women, however, keep talking and giggling. I tell them to leave. They are miffed, but they do so. I am angry.

Next scene: I am still at the college but have left my room. I am trying to find it again. I am lost. I find Renee in a room. She is helping to clean up dishes with a few other people. Her room is close to mine so I think I will wait for her and walk back when she does.

Next scene: I am walking with a male professor who teaches in a room close to mine. He makes a comment about hearing me yell at the students. He is teasing me and I enjoy it.

I shared this dream with my sister, Chris. This is what I wrote: I am teaching at a college-a place of higher learning. I am in a square room-square can symbolize self actualization. I ask the students to move who would be behind me. I want to be in front of the class-in control? Extra people have come in and the group is noisy. I need more grounding and quiet. A shy, quiet girl is sharing her dream. (could be a part of me). It is hard to hear her. Two girls are talking and laughing. I tell them to leave. I feel this is me having strong boundaries and am taking control in a positive way. Later, I get lost. Maybe lose my sense of strong boundaries. (a new person came to my last in person group and invaded my boundaries by saying why don’t you do the meditations instead of using Insight Timer and don’t you think it would be a good idea to say a prayer of protection before we start dream work?) I think I can find my way back with Renee who can be too accommodating. That doesn’t happen. I am then with a male professor-my masculine. We are walking down the hall going back to our rooms. I am no longer lost. He teases me about yelling. I can laugh at myself and don’t take myself so seriously.
