2010.10.08 07:00 - Presence in Dreams

The Guardian for this meeting was Adams Rubble. The comments are by Adams Rubble.

It was a short session...a converstaion with Lucinda. SL was acting up and most avatars were having trouble getting in. After the session ended Bruce arrived and he and I had a friendly chat for a few moments which I did not include in the log.

Lucinda Lavender: Adams I see an interesting image across the way
Lucinda Lavender: wondering about that
Adams Rubble: ohhh
Adams Rubble: a cutout of Bleu :)
Lucinda Lavender: kind of reminds me of Bleu as she was dressed for the Time Session Art discussion
Adams Rubble: It has her name on
Adams Rubble: it is an object she created called "presence"
Lucinda Lavender: she left her presence here...
Lucinda Lavender: :)
Adams Rubble: :)
Lucinda Lavender: do not think I have ever had a sense of leaving presence anywhere...
Adams Rubble: hmmm
Adams Rubble: we leave part of ourselves in other people
Adams Rubble: and they in us
Lucinda Lavender: trhat is for sure...
Lucinda Lavender: thinking of that alot these days
Adams Rubble: sometimes it can feel like presence
Lucinda Lavender: ok:)
Adams Rubble: departed people may talk to us in dreams
Adams Rubble: seems like they are prersent :)
Lucinda Lavender: yes...read a book on that this month
Adams Rubble: ohh?
Lucinda Lavender: Bereavment dreaming
Lucinda Lavender: it suggests that we internalize the meaning of the person over time
Lucinda Lavender: and then let them go
Lucinda Lavender: as they are then always with us
Adams Rubble: yes
Adams Rubble: I have always found that interesting
Adams Rubble: people can leave positive or negative impressions of themselves in others that exist for years and years
Adams Rubble: a bit like living on
Lucinda Lavender: yes
Adams Rubble: I have a dim view of my great grand[arents from 60 years ago
Lucinda Lavender: and it somehow floats along..being some kind of thread or ancestral imprint?
Adams Rubble: I also remember the lindness of a man who lived across the street when I was very young
Adams Rubble: He seems real but I don;t even know what his name was
Lucinda Lavender: :)...interesting what is remembered
Adams Rubble: just that he was kind to us
Adams Rubble: :)
Lucinda Lavender: remembering kindness...

Adams Rubble: yes, and someone else who used to yell at us to get off her steps :)
Lucinda Lavender: nodding
Lucinda Lavender: there are those jarring experiences...
Play as Being 15 minute bell: Thank you.
Adams Rubble: I am wondering if she may just have yelled at us once :)
Adams Rubble: hehe
Adams Rubble: but I don't think they are the kind of things you mean
Adams Rubble: There are much deeper memories
Lucinda Lavender: yes
Adams Rubble: My parents still give me advice in my dreams from time to time
Lucinda Lavender: oh!
Lucinda Lavender: that is lovely...
Lucinda Lavender: ?
Lucinda Lavender: the dreams over time have changed for me..much less verbal more like images
Adams Rubble: hmmm. I haven't thought much about that
Lucinda Lavender: is the advise simple and understandable?
Adams Rubble: I am wondering now
Lucinda Lavender: do you write yours down?
Adams Rubble: yes it seems to involve simple things
Adams Rubble: I write down some dreams
Lucinda Lavender: It is so interesting to go back and reread I think...sometimes I have very little rememberance looking back at it
Adams Rubble: those that seem meaningful and those that I do not understand
Lucinda Lavender: other times when it feels deep and profound it is unforgetable
Adams Rubble: yes
Adams Rubble: Sometimes it seems my brain is just processing
Lucinda Lavender: firing away...
Lucinda Lavender: :)
Adams Rubble: chaotic dreams...working through the day
Adams Rubble: the past few weeks I had chaotic dreams every night and was exhausted when i woke up
Adams Rubble: then suddenly one night everything calmed down
Lucinda Lavender: have heard others say the same
Lucinda Lavender: just yesterday a friend said something similar.
Lucinda Lavender: I only remember 2-4 a month
Lucinda Lavender: but recnetly had some very strong images
Adams Rubble: It takes a bit of effort to record them :)
Lucinda Lavender: dreamt one time of a new conductor surprising me at my door
Lucinda Lavender: with a rose bush...no blooms tho
Lucinda Lavender: I immediately dream knew to say...oh these are leftover from the memorial
Lucinda Lavender: when surprising images come in the dream I ponder them for quite a while
Adams Rubble: it is interesting how how our dreams can answer the myseteries they cerate for us
Adams Rubble: yes, me too
Lucinda Lavender: they feel very creative
Adams Rubble: sometimes they need to sit for a week or two
Lucinda Lavender: don't think my conscious mind is as smart as the dreaming one...
Adams Rubble: hehe
Adams Rubble: Sometimes it seems that way doesn't it :)
