Eliza Madrigal: Good Morning Luci!
Lucinda Lavender: Hi Eliza:)
Eliza Madrigal: I should put a shirt on... someone was helping me learn to save outfits
Lucinda Lavender: How are you?
Eliza Madrigal: Just fine :) You?
Lucinda Lavender: good :)

--BELL--

Lucinda Lavender: up late last night and went out after the first rehearsal
Eliza Madrigal: how is the group going?
Lucinda Lavender: pretty good...
Eliza Madrigal: feel that you all are flowing well, etc?
Lucinda Lavender: it takes energy to some extent to begin
Eliza Madrigal: I imagine so, and a little role shifting here and there?
Lucinda Lavender: yes
Eliza Madrigal: well, hope you weren't dancing on tables too late :)
Lucinda Lavender: no :)
Lucinda Lavender: listening to dreams actually
Eliza Madrigal: oooh, nice
Lucinda Lavender: yes:)
Lucinda Lavender: Hi Gaya
Eliza Madrigal: Hi Gaya :)
Gaya Ethaniel: Hello Eliza and Lucinda :)
Gaya Ethaniel: brb sorry
Lucinda Lavender: I think I will have to leave a little early this time due to opening chickens and can't do it yet due to it being dark!!
Eliza Madrigal: ah, :) of course that' s fine...
Eliza Madrigal: would like to have another cup of coffee .. one sec ...
Gaya Ethaniel: [back]
Lucinda Lavender: ah! will bring the whole pot with me :)
Gaya Ethaniel: :)
Eliza Madrigal giggles... here now
Lucinda Lavender: me too
Eliza Madrigal: :) nice to see you both
Gaya Ethaniel: OK let me start then :)
Gaya Ethaniel: I haven't seen Lucinda for a while yes :)
Gaya Ethaniel: Getting up in a cold morning, I throw a thick bathrobe over pyjama. Afterwards looking down, I realise the robe was very short like a jacket.
Gaya Ethaniel passes the stone to Eliza.
Eliza Madrigal: hmm...
Eliza Madrigal: okay thanks....
Eliza Madrigal: I am standing in front of a wall and it and I, turn to water flowing upwards... like a bursting...
Eliza Madrigal: pass to Lucinda
Lucinda Lavender: Seeing an area where people live or at least there stuff is. As I walk and view the area it is becoming less crowded. Feels like an encampment. I am thinking about making an altar for candles to place here.
Lucinda Lavender: pass to Gaya
Gaya Ethaniel: Thanks ... mulling over these images ...
Gaya Ethaniel: Here is mine again - Getting up in a cold morning, I throw a thick bathrobe over pyjama. Afterwards looking down, I realise the robe was very short like a jacket.
Gaya Ethaniel: Over to Eliza :)
Eliza Madrigal: I wonder about the views... something seems so warm and comfortable... an image which has to do with waking up...
Eliza Madrigal: but 'afterwards' in a different part of the day perhaps...
Eliza Madrigal: in a different perspective, looking down, it seems less than it had
Eliza Madrigal: so I wonder about that 'looking down' ....
Eliza Madrigal: maybe so much cushioning or protection isn't needed anymore...
Eliza Madrigal: still thinking... pass to Luci

--BELL--

Lucinda Lavender: such a realization...as tho imperceptible time has jumps one forward...from waking to later...or, perhaps there are two garments worn simultaneously. Fresh waking and action mode
Lucinda Lavender: pass to gaya
Eliza Madrigal: (once more?)
Gaya Ethaniel: Thanks :) I should have described it a bit better ... as soon as I put the robe on, I felt slight chill so looked down and found that robe was short. In RL, it's about my ankle length.
Gaya Ethaniel: OK ... passing to Eliza :)
Eliza Madrigal: thanks... Lucinda's sense of simultaneous perspectives.. but the chill is interesting...
Eliza Madrigal: *simultaneous perspectives is lightening, I meant to write...
Eliza Madrigal: now with the chill comes a sense of not having the same covering or being more exposed....
Eliza Madrigal: and a gap...where'd it go? did I imagine that? anyway... that's what feeling comes to mind... pass the stone to Luci
Lucinda Lavender: yes the word scarcity comes to mind...sense tho that this robe is still available and a great source of warmth.:)
Lucinda Lavender: pass to gaya
Gaya Ethaniel: Thanks :) Pass to Eliza :)
Eliza Madrigal: thanks :) I am standing at a wall
Eliza Madrigal: which bursts into upwards flowing water and me with it
Eliza Madrigal: joyous feeling
Eliza Madrigal: Pass to Luci
Lucinda Lavender: feeling in the flow with this image...in watery connection we ascend in joy. Pas to gaya
Gaya Ethaniel: I feel a great sense of relief ... and also dissolving.
Gaya Ethaniel: Over to Eliza :)
Eliza Madrigal: :) Pass to Luci
Gaya Ethaniel: Hello Dash :)
Lucinda Lavender: the initial wall is perhaps a backdrop that supports the flow of water...
Gaya Ethaniel: I will IM Dash with Eliza's dream.
Dash Earthboy: :-)
Eliza Madrigal: (HI Dash, we're having a dream circle today, sharing one at a time )
Eliza Madrigal: thanks
Lucinda Lavender: and movement which this medium of connection(water) can transcend though.
Lucinda Lavender: I pass to Dash who may comment also or just pass to gaya...
Dash Earthboy: i'll pass to gaya now :)
Gaya Ethaniel: Thanks :) Over to you Eliza :)
Eliza Madrigal: :) Pass to Luci

--BELL--

Lucinda Lavender: sense a connection between the change in gaya's image of clothing change, and Eliza's image of flowing with water...both have change. I will now reread my image. Seeing an area where people live or at least there stuff is. As I walk through the area
Lucinda Lavender: it is becoming less crowded. Feels like an encampment. I am thinking about making an altar for candles to place here....pass to dash
Gaya Ethaniel: [IMed Dash mine in case]
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Gaya Ethaniel: Dash you can comment on Lucinda's or just pass back to me.
Dash Earthboy: i don't have a dream to share...no productive comments on what I've heard....:)
Gaya Ethaniel: np :)
Dash Earthboy: pass to Gaya
Gaya Ethaniel: The candles seem to provide a focus to the group of people/stuff ... like a fireplace in a house that people can gather around and share/interact etc. The act of lighting and placing the candles seem significant to me.
Gaya Ethaniel: Pass to Eliza :)
Eliza Madrigal: thanks, yes... the candles do seem so important...
Eliza Madrigal: this seems a transformation dream as well... a place of stuff and material
Eliza Madrigal: and notice the dreamer is not there to clean up but to lighten (candles)... less crowded seems again, perspective brought by the light and the seeing of the place as fit for an altar (wonderment)...
Eliza Madrigal: there is such a strong sense of space in this dream
Eliza Madrigal: place for light
Eliza Madrigal: pass to Luci
Lucinda Lavender: perhaps the witnessing of such a place of transition..brings light and space in which honoring can occur...pass to Dash
Gaya Ethaniel: We can have a free form chat if you'd like now that we did the whole circle.
Dash Earthboy: pass :)
Gaya Ethaniel: Unless anyone has more comments on Lucinda's?
Eliza Madrigal: no, just a nice feeling....
Eliza Madrigal: thinking of the three images together
Eliza Madrigal: still wondering about the chill :)
Eliza Madrigal: exposure , time, transition, perspective, warmth...
Gaya Ethaniel: I got up and thought about it a bit because it was an odd dream ... could be half full/half empty message :)
Eliza Madrigal: it reminds me of your dream of looking down at your dress with the creatures, too
Gaya Ethaniel: Yes ... I do 'look' in dreams often as if looking out of a body.
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Gaya Ethaniel: Guess it is a sense of embodiment of some sorts.
Lucinda Lavender: yes..the presence of cool air felt is noticing from a different part of experience perhaps
Eliza Madrigal: yes, and your awareness of that
Eliza Madrigal: hm' yes interesting Luci
Eliza Madrigal: my dream followed two other similar ones... one in particular that was part of an elaborate puzzle
Gaya Ethaniel: Do you embody in dreams too?
Eliza Madrigal: yes sometimes... have been in less familiar bodies feeling what that is like
Gaya Ethaniel: ah ok
Eliza Madrigal: but I can't think of any in the same way... looking down...

--BELL--

Lucinda Lavender: usually have less sense of self ...that is viewing...generally. tho in a more story like dream (more personal) I might know I am me.
Eliza Madrigal: hmmm...nods
Gaya Ethaniel: Similar here ... don't think I ever questioned who 'I' am in dreams ...
Dash Earthboy: me neither
Eliza Madrigal: well, I have been startled to notice I wasn't me...
Eliza Madrigal: like when I was a squirrel
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Lucinda Lavender: :)
Gaya Ethaniel: Except of course that dream when I saw my own funeral ... it was me also looking at own dead body :P
Gaya Ethaniel: Took a moment to realise that :)
Lucinda Lavender: wow...
Gaya Ethaniel: lol
Eliza Madrigal: mmmm, yes wow
Eliza Madrigal: how'd you feel?
Gaya Ethaniel imagines Eliza as a squirrel :P
Dash Earthboy: i've seen that movie
Gaya Ethaniel: I was intrigued ... looking at people attending the service, trying to work out who they are etc.
Eliza Madrigal smiles I was a squirrel looking at a rat thinking I was just a cuter scavenger
Dash Earthboy: re looking down at own dead body
Gaya Ethaniel: :P
Eliza Madrigal: did you recognize most of them?
Gaya Ethaniel: No ... got up pretty soon after too.
Dash Earthboy: got up in the dream?
Eliza Madrigal: hehe, that would have been fun
Gaya Ethaniel: It was a sort of odd one anyway ... lucid as well, hard to tell Dash.
Lucinda Lavender: this is lovely but I need to go open up the chickens...will check back in a few...
Eliza Madrigal: ah!
Eliza Madrigal: Okay bye Luci, thanks
Lucinda Lavender: thanks you all!
Gaya Ethaniel: Actually a friend told us about waking up twice once in a dream then again out of the dream. So it happens ... like Russian egg dolls.
Gaya Ethaniel: Enjoy your day :)
Eliza Madrigal: yes, like the film waking life
Eliza Madrigal: I've dreamt a bit like that...
Eliza Madrigal: at first I was imagining the body waking up in the dream
Gaya Ethaniel: :)
Eliza Madrigal: re yours :)
Gaya Ethaniel: :)
Gaya Ethaniel: We should wake up from this one too :P
Eliza Madrigal smiles
Eliza Madrigal: we are awake we just haven't let go of the dream yet
Dash Earthboy: ya virtual worlds are a little dreamlike
Gaya Ethaniel: :)
Eliza Madrigal: stuff :)
Gaya Ethaniel: Yes I do often feel that Dash.
Eliza Madrigal: very much so Dash
Eliza Madrigal: I'm not feeling so hot at the moment... strange... think I'd better lay down for a few
Eliza Madrigal: thanks Gaya, Luci, Dash
Eliza Madrigal: bye for now
Dash Earthboy: ok Eliza...good seeing ya
Gaya Ethaniel: Have a good day :)
Gaya Ethaniel: The Dream Circle usually happens during the last week of each month Dash.
Gaya Ethaniel: We did it today because both Eliza and I are away next week.
Dash Earthboy: was this a "themed" session?
Dash Earthboy: oh, okay
Gaya Ethaniel: Yes one of them, this one once each month
Gaya Ethaniel: And it is fine to participate even with no dreams :)
Dash Earthboy: ok...ya my only memorable dream last night was having to play an electric game (like basketball) that effected my RL wellbeing
Gaya Ethaniel: Sounds fun :)
Dash Earthboy: the viewing angle changed just like camera angles in shows
Gaya Ethaniel: heh :)
Gaya Ethaniel: You saw yourself playing?
Dash Earthboy: i think it encompassed CSI and Weird Science episodes I've seen lately
Gaya Ethaniel: neat :)
Gaya Ethaniel: I think I've seen you a few times before here.
Dash Earthboy: yes I had to play to survive
Dash Earthboy: yes...rarely at the 7 AM session tho
Gaya Ethaniel: hm ... like Battle Royale? xD
Dash Earthboy: I came from meditation with Bruce Mowbray
Gaya Ethaniel: How do you find it so far?
Gaya Ethaniel: ah
Dash Earthboy: but I've been at them all, 7,1,7,1
Gaya Ethaniel: Sure it's not possible :)
Dash Earthboy: hey lu!
Lucinda Lavender: till later all:)

--BELL--

Gaya Ethaniel: I should get going here too. Nice seeing you both. Have fun!
Dash Earthboy: bye lu...
Dash Earthboy: you too Gaya
