Lucinda Lavender: watched a dentist from earlier in my life drive up in a truck with trailer to look at the house that was mine...tho not familiar. This house was mostly my husbands carpentry...and the dentist from the earlier time was just examining it...
Lucinda Lavender: an interesting study in past blending with either present or future...
Lucinda Lavender: I could see the ground on the floor
stevenaia Michinaga: and familiarity
Lucinda Lavender: and yours steve?
stevenaia Michinaga: I had am impotant phone call this morning that could have large imapact on a project I am working on, so I dreamed of the call in advance,it went well, in RL the call ended up with something like.... why are we talking to each other, there was in the end no reason for the call the call at all
stevenaia Michinaga: must have worked itself out in the dream in advance
stevenaia Michinaga: :)
Lucinda Lavender: nodding...
Paradise Tennant: smiles
stevenaia Michinaga: both were like badly writeen plays
stevenaia Michinaga: but the comedy was in RL )
Paradise Tennant: smiles - lovely when you can see it
Lucinda Lavender: can you describe the comedy part?
stevenaia Michinaga: the silence when I asked why the letter said we had to worked things out was written and she did not know
Paradise Tennant: smiles maybe it was worked on in the dream
stevenaia Michinaga: nods
stevenaia Michinaga: it was overt comedy
Paradise Tennant: now typing with a 45 pound dog in lap pls forgive typos
stevenaia Michinaga: has your dog gained weight? looks so cute and small in the profile pic
Paradise Tennant: he was soaking wet and the camera angle was deceptive :) he is medium sized pup !
stevenaia Michinaga: :)
Paradise Tennant: thinking back on lucinda's dream
Lucinda Lavender: :) being able to imagine can help one...and then it keeps working as we sleep...
Paradise Tennant: like the element of the house being built by her husband :) think somehow that is important
Lucinda Lavender: yes... earlier this week he dreamed of our moving to a house in Olympia and being happy!
Paradise Tennant: smiles where he will do lots of carpentry maybe a prophecy :)
Lucinda Lavender: many times I dream of him in association with wood
stevenaia Michinaga: yes, when I heard lucinda's dream , it was constructed in way familiar to my dreams too, segmented of past , prsent and future memories, hopping from one to the next
Paradise Tennant: smiles because they are all one :)
Lucinda Lavender: yes...noticing a past player folded into something new...
--BELL--
stevenaia Michinaga: yes, like a deck of cards, can be delt in any order in a dream
Lucinda Lavender: yes who is coming out to play today?
Lucinda Lavender: last week I had a daytime experience of thinking...I might dream soon...
Lucinda Lavender: never had that thought during waking before
Paradise Tennant: smiles
Paradise Tennant: saw inception this week
Paradise Tennant: must be the last person in our group to see it :)
Paradise Tennant: full of dreams
Lucinda Lavender: yes...
Lucinda Lavender: seemed to describe a multidimensional experience of concsciousness
Paradise Tennant: when you get the sense you will dream soon does it come with anything else
Paradise Tennant: a glimpse
Lucinda Lavender: no it was sort of like a nudge that came unbidden
Lucinda Lavender: just the words
Lucinda Lavender: when there is no particular feeling...just words that seems kind of pure to me
Lucinda Lavender: something to note
stevenaia Michinaga: thinking I don't know why I have stopped writing my dreams down now that I;m dreaming more
stevenaia Michinaga: speaking of taking note :)
Paradise Tennant: hands stevenaia a pencil :)
stevenaia Michinaga: will be looking for that pencil in the middle of the night
Lucinda Lavender: interesting...perhaps trust is stirred up...openess and less clinging to it
Paradise Tennant: smiles and hands stevenaia a journal to go with it
Lucinda Lavender: :)
stevenaia Michinaga: I ahve that journal
stevenaia Michinaga: hand me the will :)
Paradise Tennant: hands stevenaia the will .. a small glowing promise :)
Lucinda Lavender: :)
Lucinda Lavender: I just bought a smaler journal:)
Paradise Tennant: nice to have one handy thoughts and memories are .. like butter flies they land .. then fly away
Lucinda Lavender: imagine that dreams have been becoming shorter...
Lucinda Lavender: for me
Paradise Tennant: hmm why ?
Lucinda Lavender: just seems that way.
Lucinda Lavender: last weekend when my concert was about to happen...I cleared a round table and got out my round tarot cards to se what they had to say
Paradise Tennant: listens
Lucinda Lavender: wanted to see if there was a central theme etc
Lucinda Lavender: and the card was the 10 of Swords, reversed, 10 women about to jump off a cliff together in unity
Lucinda Lavender: about loss and letting go
Lucinda Lavender: which seemed so appropriate
Paradise Tennant: a necessary skill .. letting go
Lucinda Lavender: yes...for movement and growth perhaps
