1/3/23 Canoeing and the Cabin

I don’t know if these are two separate dreams, but I put them together.

I am canoeing on a large lake. I start to go back to where I canoed from. I pass another boat. I talk to the guy in the boat. He tells me about a cabin for sale that is located in the other direction. I turn the canoe around and paddle in that direction eager to see the cabin.

I am in a small cabin. It belongs to a sister who I am with (not waking life sister). The cabin is very cozy. There is a small group of guys and girls in their 20’s who want to stay at the cabin. They keep pestering us. And we keep saying no.

Last scene: The group are settling into the basement bedroom which is a good size. One person is getting a crib ready for breastfeeding my baby. I tell him I will not be breastfeeding my baby in the crib, but will be holding the baby outside of the crib. Initially, I did not trust them. Now, however, I start to when they are settling into the basement.

1/3/23 Art Class

I am in art class with one other guy. He is around 30 years old. I may be that age as well. Our woman teacher is middle aged. She brings a photo of a family of 4. It is soft focused. She has the guy and I put white paint on the canvas and asks what we think. It is too contrasty for the soft photo. I say this. I then suggest we bring our own photos to use. I picture one that I have in my head. She likes the idea ok.

The next class the teacher doesn’t show up. She has a garage sale and is busy. I am in the classroom. I am nude. I grab a blanket and wrap it around me. I go to tell the other guy that the teacher is not there. I see Paul and the guy in bed. They are also nude and just talking. I sit on the side of the bed and tell them about the teacher. We are all very comfortable.

Susanne: It’s an art to be at ease when you are naked. In the second dream, I make a full turn. I’m back where I started: nurturing a baby outside the crib: not my own child (physically or mentally) but still welcome. The bed in both dreams is a place of love, comfort and warmth.

Christian: A teacher tells us who we are, what to do, but when the teacher is gone, we are exposed as the actual self we are.

Svitlana: In my dream of yours, as I am holding and feeding my baby, I am also growing close to people who were distant before. Is the baby bringing me close to the world at large?

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.
