stevenaia Michinaga: hello Luci, nice of you to drop in
stevenaia Michinaga: are you dressed up for any event?
Lucinda Lavender: missing you guys... not really as I tend to wear the same thing round here...I cannot see myself ...am I wearing a fire dress?
Lucinda Lavender: I guess I see now.
Lucinda Lavender: greetings
stevenaia Michinaga: yes, I also cannot see myself, an interesting situation
stevenaia Michinaga: more like a land without mirrors
Lucinda Lavender: yes!
Lucinda Lavender: I have not been able to get in here much
stevenaia Michinaga: nods, life get's busy, this is my usual downtime so I come down here
Lucinda Lavender: feel sad about it but it takes all I can muster to get what needs doing done in RL
stevenaia Michinaga: what new RL things are you involved in?
Lucinda Lavender: I sang at a memoria, visited a compline service at the local Episcopal church that broadcasts it, sang at the university during a day of celebration.
Lucinda Lavender: a lot of singing and reheaaarsing
stevenaia Michinaga: you must have an agent
Lucinda Lavender: nah

Lucinda Lavender: how about you and Pab and etc

stevenaia Michinaga: there was an interesting guardian meeting on saturday discussing Adam's interverviw with Pema if you had a chance to read it
stevenaia Michinaga: nice to be reminded of the group's beginings
Lucinda Lavender: Yes! I read it! The interview and some of the mtg...
Lucinda Lavender: I appreciated the interview and the mtg
stevenaia Michinaga: other than that there hasn;t really been much participation at my sessions, although Last saturday people showed up which was unusual, I do still like Wednesdays (my old spot) though
stevenaia Michinaga: even if it is quietr
Lucinda Lavender: I appreciate all the people who share in the conversation here
stevenaia Michinaga: yes, the diverity of opinions is always a treat, and the adventures of Korel was nice to follow here
Lucinda Lavender: I kind of went through a time personally in RL where I did not want to dwell on things from RL so I held myself back from participating
Lucinda Lavender: it was hard to explain at the time tho
stevenaia Michinaga: it's very easy to switch to topics of the group
stevenaia Michinaga: are dreams RL?
stevenaia Michinaga: or another virtual place
Lucinda Lavender: For me there were...I seem not to be remembering much these days.
stevenaia Michinaga: if dreams are virtual, why is reality an more "real" then a dream
stevenaia Michinaga: *any
Lucinda Lavender: hmmm I think perhaps they are as real...but they are stories being told...some personal and some more universal
stevenaia Michinaga: yes, interesting that people dream in the same universal language reinforcing a connection to everyone else, even when we dream
Lucinda Lavender: pondering...
Lucinda Lavender: most dreams seem like they are telling about my "view" around something....rarely but for certain they center on something outside my view tho important

--BELL--

Lucinda Lavender: i do look for some sort of nugget in the dream tho...some sort of support/idea/new energy emerging.
Lucinda Lavender: my conscious mind might not yet know
stevenaia Michinaga: I usually leave a dream w/o thinking of meaning, just the usually strange and interesting story being told, leave the interpretations to the professionals :)
stevenaia Michinaga: I think interpretations can take you almost anythere
stevenaia Michinaga: not sure how meaningful that would be to me... self interpretation
stevenaia Michinaga: I'm the last person who would understand me in an unbias way
stevenaia Michinaga: what is that line... I rely of the kindness of strangers
stevenaia Michinaga: "Whoever you are, I have always depended on the kindness of strangers." Blanche DuBois "
stevenaia Michinaga: ther eis is
Lucinda Lavender: same here...that I guess is why I take the dream to dream circle...i would then let it go out into the hearts and minds of others
stevenaia Michinaga: :)
Lucinda Lavender: I came to PaB after some years of indoctrination in a way of looking at dreams which was pretty different than most have experienced. I can listen to dreams in more than one way now I guess. I hope my words do not sound too narrow.
stevenaia Michinaga: yes, this group has had quite an impressive affect on the way I look at things too
stevenaia Michinaga: something that continually appreciate
Lucinda Lavender: I never was able to come to the Dream Workshop much due to the time it was scheduled.But i appreciated readingabout it
stevenaia Michinaga: I didn;t think the Dream workshop posted their logs
Lucinda Lavender: right ...but a few times I was able to attend
stevenaia Michinaga: nods

--BELL--

Lucinda Lavender: we have been lucky to connect... all of us
stevenaia Michinaga: nods, early on there was a discussion from time to time about how we all came together from all points across the world... some things were jsut meant to be
stevenaia Michinaga: perhaps magic does exist (sorry Pope)
Lucinda Lavender: perhaps so...what one puts in and continues to invest in...there is trust there
stevenaia Michinaga: which is easier form some, but typically not
stevenaia Michinaga: unless you feel comfortable
Lucinda Lavender: yes...I received support and know that was important....tho support was not the intention
stevenaia Michinaga: that's the best kind
Lucinda Lavender: true!
stevenaia Michinaga: well I must be off, getting late here
stevenaia Michinaga: thanks for dropping in
Lucinda Lavender: me too...thatnks for being here!!
