The Twin Towers

(Thursday, September 20, 2018) waxing gibbous Aquarius / tarot Chariot

I am in the driver’s seat of a car parked near the entrance to a tall healthcare facility. I shift into reverse, backing the vehicle alongside and even over the top of cement walkways. Parallel parking. Then I shift forward and drive to another multistory facility in the same complex, parking safely in the lot.

I enter the building lobby. Cullan joins me. We take the elevator up to the surgery floor. I hold a large gauze pad over my throat, symbolizing the need for tissue to be removed from my thyroid.

Day notes:

I have been experiencing heart palpitations since I was told Alysia in Phoenix might be let go. Today it was even worse. I felt several sharp pains on the left side of my chest, so I went to have an EKG at the Allina West Health emergency facility. A wonderful, kind doctor told me I have premature ventricular contractions (PVC). It can be caused by stress. It is “benign” and does not lead to more serious cardiovascular conditions, unless it worsens. He looked at my records and commented that I had not had my thyroid nodule examined since 2015. I told him that was my decision because it has tested as normal for nearly 20 years. I asked the ER physician if my PVC could be caused by hormonal disruption. He doubted that it would be.

Tonight the physical sensation of my beating heart is very strong.

The Chariot card seems related to this dream. Chariot is often about career, and the horses/sphinxes pull in opposite directions, like my erratic heart chambers.

Servant With Murderous Intent

(Sunday, September 9, 2018) new moon Virgo / tarot Empress

I am being chauffeured by a dark haired man in a vehicle shaped like a very large cube and made of clear glass on all 6 sides. Even in the dream this seems amazing. We are traveling through a savanna full of lions. The driver opens a rear door to allow one lion in to attack me.

Day notes:

There was a video on the news this week about people in a safari vehicle being cuddled by a wild male lion.

When I awoke I thought of the pope-mobile, even though I was a woman in my dream. Pope Joan? Anne included Joan of Arc in her artist story last week. It is beyond irony for a world religion to require a bullet-proof parade van for its high priest.

Lion-hearted. I have been having heart palpitations for a week now. Work-related stress? Attacked in my work cube? The VP of Marketing is a proud Leo.

Manifesto

(Labor Day 2018) moon third quarter Gemini / tarot King of Spirals (Pentacles)

Dream conference: attendees meet at round tables and converse, then move on to other rooms and other topics. Richard W. guides one group in a large, high-ceilinged room. Two men work on manifesting the goal of a one-woman art show for me, through the process of creating reality in the realms. Men who manifest. Fest-ive, fest-oh!

Day notes:

Two friends of mine are having solo art shows this month, Anne and Denisea.

Richard W. shows up so frequently in my dreams that I think he must be the mask of one of my spirit guides. He certainly represents the guidance of dreaming. In my dreams he has more power than it appears he has in waking life.

I admitted to Anne that the dire chaos in my work life seems to be a message for me to leave. But where do I go?

I bought a Cubs t-shirt for Chris in Chicago with the original icon from 1914. It’s a standing bear. It didn’t click in my mind at the time, but the new sculpture I am working on is a standing bear. It will be 60 inches tall.
