I wanted to somehow represent my current experience where dreams, memories, and daily life events intermingle, where I often feel a state of confusion, disorientation, and difficulty keeping things straight. Sometimes it feels like a great pool or soup with different things bobbing to the surface. I started with the pool itself and let the images arise.
There are many dreams that came in. Here are a few:
Dream of the Key in the Door and Baby Teddy
June 26, 2015I am arriving at a house where I’m going to have a meeting with members of my family and a man who is not a family member--maybe he will facilitate in some way. I have a regular key but it doesn’t work right away so I take out another, larger key. When I insert it in the keyhole it works and the door opens easily. Before I enter the main room where we’ll be meeting, I think I might take care of a few things since I assume that the man-facilitator will not be there yet. But I think I’ll just check and make sure.
So I enter the big room and find that everyone is there including the man. People are lying around on mattresses, couches, etc.--very relaxed. They look up at me and say “Hi.” On a mattress in the middle of the floor my baby grandson is lying, partly propped up. He is loosely wrapped in a blanket. When I come in he turns his head to look at me and smile and acknowledge me--his equivalent of “Hi.” It’s wonderful.
