Gaya Ethaniel: No dream to share today so I'm passing the stone to Eliza.
Alfred Kelberry: no bunny's dream :(
Eliza Madrigal: thank you Gaya
Eliza Madrigal: I was following a group of friends and they turned to walk down the narrow stairway. I was going to walk down it too, but there was a gate, and a dog. The dog was small, not scary at all. The gate was really out of place and I could have just stepped over it but chose to listen to the guidance not to go down that way and instead took a stairway off to the left which looked pretty much the same.
Eliza Madrigal: pass to Lucinda
Lucinda Lavender: thank you Eliza...
Lucinda Lavender: I do not have a dream today and I pass to Rain.

Hana Furlough: i pass to Gaya
Gaya Ethaniel: Before moving on, I want to ask if Riddle wants to share a dream?

Nymf Hathaway: *** I have a dream noted when there is still time***

Gaya Ethaniel: :)
Alfred Kelberry: ok, check :)
Archmage Atlantis: You sure Yaku, I can wait
Gaya Ethaniel: Hello Visitor 1 :) Please feel free to join us.
Archmage Atlantis: Ok
Archmage Atlantis: Well, while I was in the class....an advanced math or microeconomics class, I have been struggling to keep up with the complexity
Archmage Atlantis: In RL, I went back to college in my late 20s, so most of the class is younger than me.....
Archmage Atlantis: And they are also in the dream
Archmage Atlantis: As then, I have trouble relating to them, as they have different perspectives
Archmage Atlantis: I start to walk across the campus....then some large supernatural creature begins to chase me
Archmage Atlantis: I cannot find a way out
Archmage Atlantis: The crowds between class are dense, and the campus is complex
Archmage Atlantis: I run into the chapel, which is in disrepair and only used by the music department
Archmage Atlantis: then I wake up
Archmage Atlantis: That's it
Archmage Atlantis: Pass I guess? to Nymph, I believe.
Eliza Madrigal: (pass to nymf, yes)
Nymf Hathaway: In my dream I was about 13 years old, I travelled through time from the year 1650 to recent time. I was send here to find 'The treasure' not been told what it exactly was. I was staying at the home of a girl my own age. We were looking out the window in to the woods. From the woods a girl came flying above the ground...towards our window. Her eyes were fully red. I got scared... ran out of the house up to a hill. The hill was a graveyard (I knew at that point the treasure was hidden here) and on top a young tree. The dream ended when my mother came with a white car to pick me up.... next moment I am standing on the hill and the red eyed girl was in the back of the car.
Nymf Hathaway: end
Riddle Sideways: thank you
Nymf Hathaway: Passes to Riddle ã‹¡
Riddle Sideways: no idea what I am in dream
Riddle Sideways: next to me is a stone. There are memories or knowing of that would be a perfect skipping stone shape
Riddle Sideways: complex decisions been the stone as to whether I want to live out more time here on the beach
Riddle Sideways: or go for a brief flight, flying, and splashing
Riddle Sideways: to live below the lake
Riddle Sideways: thank you, on to Maxine
Maxine Walden: and I pass to Hana
Hana Furlough: i pass to gaya
Gaya Ethaniel passes the stone to Eliza.

--BELL--

Eliza Madrigal: thank you gaya and apologizing to bell... adding also that these stairs were in a familiar setting from youth, I was following a group of friends and they turned to walk down a narrow stairway. I was going to walk down it too, but there was a gate, and a dog. The dog was small, not scary at all. The gate was really out of place and I could have just stepped over it but chose to listen to the guidance not to go down that way and instead took a stairway off to the left which looked pretty much the same.
Eliza Madrigal: pass to Lucinda :)
Lucinda Lavender: am thinking...
Lucinda Lavender: this dream suggests that one listen to interior(seeming) guidance. It is such nice thing to have the extra hints about where to go or what to do...
Lucinda Lavender: when looking back into a time of history...one might be able to realign ones picture I am thinking.
Lucinda Lavender: I pass the stone to Rain
Rain Southpaw: the dream reminds me of the first major arcana in the tarot - the fool - with the dog at her feet - about to take a new direction in life and havin much faith
Gaya Ethaniel: [reminder - everyone comments on Eliza's dream pls, full circle]
Rain Southpaw: I pass to Philosophy
Yakuzza Lethecus: i pass to ach
Yakuzza Lethecus: arch
Eliza Madrigal: (alf)
Yakuzza Lethecus: ups, alf :)
Archmage Atlantis: Ok, Ism
Archmage Atlantis: 'isn't Alfred in?
Alfred Kelberry: *catches the stone and passes it to archy*
Archmage Atlantis: ok
Archmage Atlantis: The part that I was most aware of was the small dog
Archmage Atlantis: As though a guide was placed there
Archmage Atlantis: Pass to Nymf
Nymf Hathaway: Thank you Archmage ã‹¡ The gate is what keeps floating in my mind. Hands the stone to Riddle
Nymf Hathaway: Riddle
Riddle Sideways: thanks,
Riddle Sideways: there are 2 things. gate and dog. is one not enough
Riddle Sideways: passes stone
Maxine Walden: thanks.
Maxine Walden: I am also reminded of the childhood path (small gate, small dog, familiar path with maybe old friends). But that the dreamer chooses from another guide...
Nymf Hathaway: *Ignore my Gate... this is my first time at the Dream session*
Maxine Walden: to not go that way, to choose another path...and there feels something for me in the dream affirming that choice
Maxine Walden: Pass the stone
Hana Furlough: thanks, maxine
Gaya Ethaniel: Hello Visitor 2. Please feel free to join us. We are having this month's Dream Circle.
Hana Furlough: the two staircases look the same, but you know the difference
Hana Furlough: effortlessly you make the choice
Hana Furlough: the gate is a gate, and so you don't see it as a barrier
Hana Furlough: the dog is not scary, there is nothing to run from
Hana Furlough: still, you know your own path
Hana Furlough: and you are able to fluidly take it
Hana Furlough: pass to gaya

--BELL--

Gaya Ethaniel: I was thinking along the same line ... same staircases but the dream is following own intuition. The dog intrigues me ...
Gaya Ethaniel passes the stone to Eliza.
Eliza Madrigal: Thank you everyone. Pass to Lucinda
Lucinda Lavender: I pass the stone to Yaku...
Yakuzza Lethecus: passes to Visitor 2
Visitor 2: passes to Alfred
Gaya Ethaniel: Hello Hades :) Please feel free to join us.
Alfred Kelberry: um, i'd like to add on eliza's dream that it, for some reason, reminded me of the works of escher :) those who aren't familiar with them, an example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Es...Relativity.jpg
Alfred Kelberry: *passes to archy*
Archmage Atlantis: K, I think the pattern is for me to summarize my dream now
Eliza Madrigal: actually arch...
Archmage Atlantis: ok>
Eliza Madrigal: then others will give thoughts
Eliza Madrigal: just to share it again
Archmage Atlantis: Ok
Archmage Atlantis: I had rtnd to college, a difficult advanced class requiring high level math had just let out
Archmage Atlantis: The others were much younger and we did not relate, I began to cross campus
Archmage Atlantis: I felt a presence pursuing me and began to flee
Archmage Atlantis: the paths were crowded, the campus was complex
Archmage Atlantis: I fled into the chapel, in disrepair, used only by music students
Archmage Atlantis: pass to Nymf
Nymf Hathaway: Thank you Archmage, passes to Riddle
Riddle Sideways: Thank you, pass to Maxine
Maxine Walden: Thanks, This dream reminds me of dreams I have had in which...
Maxine Walden: I have felt amidst others perhaps studying complex things, and feel that the others, perhaps younger, are more clever, smart, whatever, and that I feel somewhat alone in the crowd...
Maxine Walden: The supernatural creature reminds me of the doubt and humiliation I can feel in such a dream...some deep dread from which I fear I cannot find sanctuary (chapel). such dreams can feel like nitemares...until I can understand the dread...
Maxine Walden: that the dread is my own inner feeling of shame or humiliation...pass the stone to Hana
Hana Furlough: thanks, maxine
Gaya Ethaniel IMs Hades.
Maxine Walden: (I will need to leave in about 2 minutes, will just slip out)
Hana Furlough: i had a similar kind of dream recently
Hana Furlough: i dreamt i was back at school, in a reading group that was not my specialty
Hana Furlough: suddenly it was my turn
Hana Furlough: and i couldn't find the page
Hana Furlough: let alone the words
Hana Furlough: all the younger students thought there was something wrong with me
Hana Furlough: and so i left to catch the train
Hana Furlough: lol
Alfred Kelberry: :)
Hana Furlough: pass to gaya : )
Gaya Ethaniel: Thanks :)(
Nymf Hathaway: *Slips away quietly, enjoy *
Gaya Ethaniel: The dreamer seems to be facing some pressures in RL.
Gaya Ethaniel passes the stone to Eliza.
Eliza Madrigal: I'm most impressed by the sense of taking refuge in a neglected place, at the end of the dream
Lucinda Lavender: must slip away to work...thank you all for your dreams

--BELL--

Eliza Madrigal: and juxtapositions of familiar and unfamiliar all over ... youth
Eliza Madrigal: pass to Ya
Yakuzza Lethecus: passing to Visitor 2
Visitor 2: passes to Alfred
Alfred Kelberry: thanks
Alfred Kelberry: well, it's sort of a classic school dream that we all have, i guess. except maybe the age difference.
Hana Furlough: (slips out to work.... thank you all~)
Alfred Kelberry: we all go back and relive something from the past or something from the present intertwined with it all...
Alfred Kelberry: but i'd suggest to archy, next time to face this supernatural creature, maybe it just wants to give you a hug :)
Alfred Kelberry: *passes to archy*
Eliza Madrigal: :)

Gaya Ethaniel passes the stone to Eliza.
Eliza Madrigal: thank you. Yes, I was struck by the range of options and also that the stone was the constant in a way....
