Nightmares and Normal

This morning, I woke from a bad dream.  "Why?" I wondered. I thought back to the events of yesterday - writing in the morning, going out to the desert and meeting up with that RTR women's group.  I liked them.  A strong, self-reliant group.  A class on tires afterwards, loved it! So far so good! A wonderful new connection with Sally Nurney who showed me her Roadtrek, one of those vehicles that led me out to the magic spot in the desert. (Follow the Yellow Dirt Road)   Seeing the inside of a really nice Northern Lite, another truck camper.  Those were pleasant experiences, weren't they? So, what's the deal?  What am I missing?  Tracking dreams is a crosscheck on daytime 'reality'.  They track our bottom line psyche.  

Turns out there have been quite a few troubling ones.  It's not just yesterday's events!  What's going on?  I thought about these specific dream images and this RV business.  I've been wanting to move around, to stay small and inexpensive.  But these dreams are not supporting my way of thinking.  The characters that are showing up are ones who signal a need to reassess my thinking.  Dream seems be saying that creativity and expression is being forgotten, abandoned.  Dreams always come to tell you something you don't know.  That new information is wrapped inside images that you can relate to.  So, our usual perspectives get confused and confuse us.  It makes sense that we all need a little (or a lot) of help figuring out what dream might be saying.  I sat with them for a long time and then spoke to a couple of wise women who offered helpful insight. Time to slow down and re-consider. Argh! It's not easy to re-direct when I'm "on" to something.  But, Dream-maker is my friend.  Infinitely better to open my eyes now, rather than later.  If you have a nightmare, take a pause.  There's a good chance that something is being pushed aside during the day, that can only get your attention at night.
