green means go!

been thinking some more on the dream i had earlier this week... been thinking about how the posts from last week "add up"...

i was advised by a wise soul about how to tackle dream interpretation, and i talked it over with friends, family... here's the part worth sharing...

and it's not shocking... it's about balance. as usual.

the meanings being revealed to me about the dream are the meanings pertinent to me. but i'm wondering what these ideas bring up for you.

so, if we were to say that "the school" was our selves, and we begin in the meditation room~ here is the place where we practice watching our thoughts. here's the place where thought patterns emerge, and we're reminded to come back to the breath. this is where we spend time in our heads. (a place i happen to love.)

***how do you feel about being in meditation room? do you watch your thoughts? what are you thinking about now? right now?




next we go to the room where one can practice 'balance', where there's a big teeter totter. perhaps this is the gym of our selves. the place where we physically can move our bodies to practice movement, and the effects of movements. here's the place we sweat and find physical limitations, and break through barriers our minds have placed on our bodies. (a "newer" room in my life, and yet, another place i love.)

***how about physical activity? how do you work your body? how do you rest it? do you listen to your body? what is it telling you now? right now?






then. a room described as "the womb". warm. inviting. this, folks, is the core. you can't be more in the midst of a body than when you're in the womb.

***the womb. think about it. you were there once? does any part of you remember it? have you felt it recently? what gets you there? what's keeping you out?





and then. i was standing in a hallway and   "above me, on the wall, were a bunch of old swords hanging as decoration. i was aware of wanting to move out from under the swords, in case one of them fell on me. " swords. why swords? 
the idea of tarot card's swords was presented to me. the idea of swords as "ideas". and some of the words i used were sleek, pieces of art, heavy, extensions of your arm. and the placement of the swords in the dream was in a circle, points towards the center. and i was worried that they'd fall on me.   

********** worried that ideas would fall on me?    ************

 ***what are your associations with swords? where would you find your swords pointing? are you worried they'll fall down on you?

balance.... it's a tricky thing. to balance between mind and body. to be drawn to writing a blog (and playing in my mind with you) and to be equally drawn to a sweaty run. to find a place in life where both can happen, and both do.

***where's your balance? how are you finding it today?
