DREAM 1: FLOWER IN THE SKY
I see a mandala/flower floating in the sky. Two nights later, I had the following dream which inspired me to combine the two dreams in one painting. DREAM 2: I CELEBRATE BOTH
I am young, single, and observing an outdoor ritual where a lot of people are weaving different colors of plastic pipe together on the ground, to make a serpentine pattern. It is very festive. Many people arrive and greet me. I am not that enthusiastic about it, but I am waiting for a woman to show up to this event. She has rejected me many times, but I want to see her before I leave. Then she arrives. I stand by the open door of a van near her. She turns, sees me, comes over and hugs me, tenderly kissing my check. She tells me "No Hanukkah this year; the cake fell off the roof." I say, "There is always Christmas." She replies, "I don't celebrate it." I say, "I celebrate both." She smiles and we go on talking; I think "I finally connected with her!" and wake up. I believe this dream was a positive encounter with what the Jungians call the Anima, my female side. |
