1/18/26 Helping Children

This dream is a bit convoluted. I think I had it in the middle of the night.

I am an observer, but feel like a drone looking down on these kids. They are in a boat on the ocean. There is a large wave behind them pushing them forward. I am coaching them so they are safe and get to where they are going. The boat then turns into a channel where there are houses on either side. It is similar to channels in Florida. We stop at a house.

The next scene is where I am having these kids do exercises by carrying a hand weight and moving around. Then it becomes clear to me that there will be eight of us (two adults and six kids) living together. The kids are old enough to help out with meals. I am going to talk with the other adult and share my idea of having each kid have a night to prepare a meal. I feel very happy about this.

1/16/26 Two Puppies

Two puppies come into the yard. They have name tags. One puppy’s name is Ella. (I can’t remember the other one’s name). It feels like Shady Oak. I go and get water for them. Paul is around.

I am knitting a puppy for a baby that is to be born to my nephew and his wife. Shady Oak is here again as well as getting water. Old stuff? and needing to add emotion or letting emotion out? (water)

1/11/26 Nine Month Old, Becky and Flowers

I am at a family’s house. I hold my nine month old girl. I see two of the kids from the house outside playing in the backyard. A third child comes out of the house and goes down the stairs by the door on a skateboard. I stand at the back door ringing the door bell. I want to ask the mom something. The parents don’t come to the door so I go around to the front.

I see my sister, Becky, in the yard eating yogurt. It is morning. I go to say hello. From where I stand, it looks like she is sitting in a bush. When I get closer, I see she is actually behind it. (now the house feels like Shady Oak) Then Becky is sitting under a large umbrella that is propped up on the ground. She says she is looking for a wide, open, nature place and can’t find one. I think about walks where I have seen no one, but can’t remember where the trail heads are. I haven’t been on them for awhile.

Now I put my baby down. She is now a small bunch of wild flowers. I see it needs water. I awake when I am on my way to get water for the flowers.

Earlier dream or from the dream above? is where I am showing slides of what my house looks like in Walker in May when Paul and I return from Arizona. There is still snow on the ground, but it is starting to melt.
