Waking Dream: Agreement and Acceptance

(Saturday, June 25, 2016) moon: waning gibbous Pisces / tarot: Lovers

First day of my staycation. Chris and I sat in the backyard together early this morning, watching the birds and the bunnies. It was sweet.

When we came back into the house, he delved into his iPad, as normally he does. “Niburu is on its way,” he announced.

I laughed. “It’s been on its way for years now!”

The light-hearted conversation shifted to UFOs and aliens. I talked to him about my Arkansas trip, how we had seen dozens of UFOs after our meditation together on the night of the lunar eclipse. I also described the large black star-filled hole that Robbie and I had both seen. That eclipse was aligned with the galactic center. I was completely shocked when Chris told me we had seen an inter-dimensional portal. In all of our time together, he has been a complete skeptic of UFOs, aliens and anything fringe.

So his change of attitude inspired a bit of bravery. I retold him my old story about the blue aliens, of waking with a bruised arm after they injected a needle to detoxify my body. I had shared the story before, but felt like he never listened. This time he said, “That really did happen. You were visited.”

This is a welcome shift in our relationship. Foretold by the Lovers card I drew this morning, perhaps.

I met two people at Rolduc in 2011 who dream of the blue aliens. The man’s name is Tony (a friend of Jean Campbell), and he is from Britain. I don’t recall the woman’s name. She is from the States.

(Friday, June 24, 2016) moon: waning gibbous Aquarius / tarot: three of swords

I am in the basement level of a house Chris and I have just purchased. Like our Wayzata house, very little of the lower level is underground.

When the dream opens, I am finishing up painting a large room in the basement. The walls are rock, not concrete, so I am aware that the house is old. The paint I have used on the walls has a very glossy sheen, like a glazed pot. Through the fire! The color is an earthy gold mid-tone with an olive green cast to it. Very unusual color. I have dreamt of this hard, shiny surface several times before: once it was dark turquoise, in another dream it was dark red.

I am quite fatigued. The room has not been attended to for a very long time. I am afraid of all the work that will be needed for the upper story of the house.

So, reluctantly, I exit the basement into the outdoors, past the pond in the backyard. Turning right, I climb up a mild slope to the front door of the house.

At this point in the dream I start to sense that I am leaving sleep, rising into an awakening level of consciousness. And I am overjoyed. Through half-closed eyes I receive a rapid overview of the entire house, which is in perfect, beautiful condition. Stone and porcelain tile floors have just been installed. Every room glows with fresh paint and fine furnishings. I feel such great relief. I can relax. I can enjoy.

Day notes:

I have just begun 11 days of staycation. Bonnie and Peter are in Rolduc for the dream conference, but I am kicked-back, watching dozens of dragonflies circle above the grass in my backyard. 

I got a replacement quote from Andersen for the upstairs windows and have been mulling it over. Expensive! But maybe the dream says “go for it.”

Saturday: I received an email from the Jung Platform. Robert Bosnak is doing a webinar based on James Hillman’s “Alchemical Psychology.” He is covering the chapters on Yellow and Stone. I dream often of stones, and recently have been dreaming of the color yellow. I may need to buy that book!

07/15/2023: Of course this is a prescient dream about our Rustic Lodge house with a limestone basement. Chris and I would love to paint and repair the basement, but it will probably be too expensive. We talk about our “dungeon.”

Healing Dream: Alzheimers

(Saturday, June 18, 2016) full moon Sagittarius / tarot: Devil reversed

I had a night full of dreams after my Tanya dream. The most memorable was a conversation with another woman about Alzheimers. The details of the discussion have faded. I don’t know who the woman was, but I think she was an advisor.

Over the last few weeks I have been experiencing a bit of memory fog. My ability to recall names is noticeably diminished. I happened to get an email invite to sign up for a free Alzheimers webinar series yesterday, and so I did. Having witnessed the slow, hard decline of my mother-in-law, the disease of dementia is always at the back of my mind.

The webinar is called the Alzheimers and Dementia Summit. It hasn’t begun yet, but they sent a few introductory podcasts today. I listened to the first one by Christopher Shade, PhD. It really rattled me. I am scheduled to begin working with my new holistic dentist to remove the mercury amalgams from my teeth, and Dr. Shade had much information to share about amalgams. He talked about studies that he feels correlate mercury and other toxic metal poisoning with Alzheimers. Part of me had been questioning why I will be spending so much time and money with this new dentist. But Dr. Shade’s podcast made me feel like I am doing the right thing. I think my dream confirms this as well.

Only after I had the dream of the beautiful tomato vines did I do any research on lycopene. I discovered it is highly beneficial to bones and to brain health. It is like a cell gatekeeper, impeding the entry of toxic substances into cell membranes.
