Dreamed something of my friend Liz. Could not retrieve intricate details here, but know it had something to do with ethical issues. In waking life, Liz is a woman who is in a deep, direct connection with The Mother as Guadeloupe, and with all things Mary. She has worked for many years with a very challenged population as a committed social worker, and she loves her work.
Yesterday was a difficult waking day in the realm of emotions for me concerning family issues. I went to bed exhausted, and had taken ibuprofen (unusual for me) for pain in my body. I am OK this morning, up early enough to move at a comfortable pace into the day. I thank everyone contributing to this site.

Sounds like Liz was a good person to bring into our healing dream circle! Thank you for dreaming with us and for posting!

A Dream
I am in the house where I grew up
atop a hill in the Hudson Valley
except it is now ensconced with
the entrance to a bridge.
Yellow beams arch, embrace.
I gaze out windows at traffic,
the river is much wider.
This bridge is huge and the entrance
is a neighborhood of old homes,
mine, one of many looking
forward across the expanse.
I am looking for my old room,
but find the future instead.

I love all the images in this dream/poem! Especially the final image of looking for the childhood room, but moving into the future instead! Thank you for dreaming with us and for brining poetry into the enterprise 🙂

In my dream I see John and Yoko and there’s something about John Lennon’s son. We are in the trenches, miles and miles of them running north and south. The ground is barren and brown with grass and tree roots hanging over the top of the trenches. There is the sense that these trenches start where I used to live on Gould Rd. (The local Water District took our home in an Eminent Domain dispute.) I woke up with the song “All I am saying is give peace a chance…” A John Lennon’s song.

I remembered two dreams last night. They are:
Irony of Disguise
I am aware of a scene being played out in which I am watching a man who is afraid that the Nazis will find him. There is close call when he hears a truck go by, stop and a few men get out and look around the room where the man is hiding. The man sees a black top hat and decides that he will don the hat as a sort of disguise when he tries to make his escape from the building. He observes a Jewish Chassidic group singing joyously just outside the building. He thinks to join them hoping to meld in, though he does wonder if he will be able to do that since he doesn’t know the songs.
Is this skiing?
I am enjoying myself with friends, when one of them asks if I ski, I say not really. He offers to teach me. I’m not sure this is such a good idea at my age. But he convinces me. Apparently there are several of us who will be taking ski lessons at the same time. Before we go outside we are told that our lesson will start indoors and we should start by practicing rolling on the floor. As I role, I come into contact with others. I feel that this is just like contact improv, which I love to do. I am rolling over bodies and thoroughly loving the sensuality of it.

Wonderful how you turn a skiing lesson into an improv dance! And that music and dance are central to your dreams. What could be more healing!

I was walking around when I realized the other students were already taking the test. I must have forgotten about it. Am I prepared? Did I study? I see large worldmaps and the students are writing on them. Longitude & Latitude? I think I remember some of it.
I walk to the teacher’s office to retrieve my paper to start my test. I set it down with my pencil and large eraser, then go to the restroom. When I return from the restroom, my test paper is gone! Someone took it! I shoot an angry glance at a high school acquaintance (who, in real life is a sweetie pie), assuming she took it or knew who did.
What am I to do? The longer I take, the less time I will have to complete my test. I return to the teacher’s office and get another test paper.
Suddenly, I am finished. It was not as difficult as I would have anticipated. Because of this, I assume I must have left out part of it.
I review the many pages and all but 1 are complete. It won’t take me long to complete the final page. It appears to be easy too. I’m writing my final responses for that page when I wake up.

I had several short dreams … the themes were music, sickness/diagnosis, etc.
1. The first dream of the night was a fragment about my mother being sick.
2. In the next dream I’m going to an outdoor concert performance with a close female friend. We’re waiting for her diagnosis to come from the doctor. I decide to reserve a blanket/picnic site anyway.
3. I dream that my sister gives my cat catnip … but my cat can’t handle catnip so I start vacuuming it up. As I vacuum up the little dark bits of dried herbs they start to become fresh greens. [In waking life I used to have a cat who could not handle catnip … she’d get psycho if she so much as caught a whiff of the stuff 🙂 ]
4. I dream I’m on the phone with my brother and he’s talking to the musician Fred Small who says he and I once met, but at the time we were both using fake names at the time.

I notice in several of the dreams an encouragement to be more vocal and active in raising awareness through teaching or social work (Ava’s dream), peaceful protests (my dream about John Lennon), or simply to come out of hiding out of fear of being disapproved of for ideas/beliefs that are not popular (Hiding from Nazis). For (poetry news) I get a sense of some talent/visionary in architecture and ideas for future living/homes and Sherry’s dream reminds me that these are difficult times testing our problem solving skills and endurance, but assurance that there’s no need to fear and to move ahead with confidence. In
Tzivia’s dream it’s confirmed that “Mother” is sick but I’m waiting for diagnosis. If this were my dream I’m not sure what to do to help, so I’m waiting..but I then go to an “outdoor performance”…Maybe there’s something I can do (or am already doing) “performing” in conjunction with others promoting a healthy environment…Most cats love catnip and yet my cat goes psycho at a whiff of the stuff! Seems like some retraining or relearning about nature is called for so that I can revive my natural instincts and love of all things healthy. It kind of speaks to the collective state humans living now who often prefer a lifeless, artificial environment to the real “green” one Mother provides. There’s encouragement here to keep trying and the green will return. Lovely dreams! – Fun to participate!!

Hi Brenda,
I’m so glad you’re here dreaming with us! I also felt like the bits of green in my dream were a positive, healthy, growthful sign!
I also noticed that music is a theme that echoes through many of the dreams. It makes me think of the quote (I think by Emma Goldberg ?) “If I can’t dance, it’s not my revolution” … In our case we could say “If there’s music in it it’s our dream revolution” 🙂
We’ll see!

Thanks Tzivia! I noticed later on Robert Moss’ blog that he had posted it was the anniversary of John Lennon’s death this week and other dreamers have also dreamt about John. Something in the collective and it feels healing indeed! Music in dreams for me has always meant a heart/soul harmonic resonance. Like your comment “dream revolution!” John would like that I think!

My dreams were long and involved, but this is all I remember:
I am using some kind of vibrational healing machine that works with a computer. P.M. (a man I know who is very brilliant and talented in many different areas — music, art, science, building construction…) is showing me how to use it.
Then, I am telling K. (a female student of mine who is very competent but often gets worried and anxious when “in charge” of something) that the director of the kitchen needs to decide where things go … everything has a place and everyone needs to cooperate with that. Dr. B (a teacher of mine) tells me something that I can’t remember now.
Another dream?
A female, possibly my sister K or some other female is walking a dog she really likes and thinks is really cute … she has another, older dog that she is also walking.
There is a young woman, pregnant. She is frantically trying to get in touch with her boyfriend (presumably she is ready to give birth) who works at a factory of some kind. She’s knocking on the door and ringing the bell.
I’m kind of confused — I thought she had given up the baby for adoption. Then I realize this scene is like a “back story” (something that already happened in the past). He gets cold feet about getting married and breaks up with her and then she decides to give the baby up.
My comments …
The first dream seems pretty clear, about using vibration for healing and drawing upon an aspect of myself that has developed skills and creativity. As each one of us uses our talents and skills, we can raise the vibration of ourselves and the planet, becoming more whole! Also points to a need to give direction to the self and to be decisive (someone being in charge of the kitchen). I understand food and preparation of food to symbolize knowledge, so there is a need to choose how to use the knowledge I have.
The second dream seems less clear … something new that I have given birth to in myself or am getting ready to birth, and a need for commitment to bring it into fruition. Perhaps looking to re-evaluate choices I’ve made?

Hi Laurel,
The kitchen is also a place of alchemical transformation … The director of the kitchenfeels like a powerful dream character to me!
Thank you for dreaming with us!

Loving the shared themes with this shared intention. I’d like to use my dream of tests, which for me is about the process of recollecting what we have learned to describe possible contributions/learnings.
I bring us:
Recollections: the ability to have perspective (large worldmap), to remember, sacred geometry?(longitude/latitude-), teaching, learning,
possible vehicle or medium: writing, seeing/visioning, sacred geometry? teaching/learning
Ava brings us:
Recollections: the ability to connect with The Mother (echoed by Tzivia and Laurel Clark) and feel her pain
Possible vehicle or medium: connection, clairsentience-feeling
poetrynews brings us:
Recollections: the ability to bridge, especially past and future, the ability to see/vision
Possible vehicle or medium: architect, builder, poetry, visioning/seeing
Brenda Ferrimani brings us:
Recollections: the ability to advocate for peace, to see what’s entrenched, sense where things originate,
Possible vehicle or medium: musician, peace advocate, sacred geometry? (trenchlines running north to south), seeing/visioning
David brings us:
Recollections: the ability to improvise, to teach, to learn, to share, to contact, to sing
Possible vehicle or medium: singing, improvisation, teaching, learning, contacting
Tzivia brings us:
Recollections: the ability to diagnose, individual discernment (my cat can’t handle what other cats might enjoy), Removal of what’s intolerable, changing what’s dry and dark to something fresh and green
Possible vehicle or medium: music, diagnostician, alchemist, magician, communicator
Laurel Clark brings us:
Recollections: the ability to compute, use vibration for healing, teach/learn, knowing where things should go, cooperation, creating/birthing, getting attention (knocking on doors/ringing bells), understanding the “back story”
Possible vehicle or medium: sound healing, teacher/student, building/architecting, creating, advocating, communicating
We really DO bring a lot to the table, don’t we?

Thank you, Sherry, for this insightful and creative overview. Your words are like the stitches in a quilt that make a piece of art out of a collection of pieces of fabric. You help us see the connection and unity in all of our many dreams!

I liked Sherry’s overview. There is really a lot of valuable healing energy in our group’s dreams.
After waking from my John Lennon dream I was very happy and centered in peaceful harmonic emotions. All day was terrific! —It occurred to me how integral my own feeling of “inner peace” was to the healing of the planet. I recalled that disease is really dis-ease and so I’ve come back into myself contemplating how I can be still within the chaos and atmosphere of fear that exists in our world now? All I have to do is “Give Peace a Chance!” — I can choose! — It’s empowering!
December 9, 2010 at 7:06 pm
Tzivia
Brenda, I couldn’t agree with you more! If we can heal our own minds, if we can choose peace and harmony in our own souls, then we’ll have gone a long, long way toward healing our world. When you think about it, what is our world other than the way we process it and experience in in our mind! I think I’ll go listen to John Lennon now 🙂

I just have a snippet…in the dream, there’s something about a sudden change in plans. We’re in a large room, a training of some kind. There is a group gathered and somehow the training ends in the middle of a movie. I think to myself ‘this is not well-planned.’ My sister Linnea is there (great planner!).
I don’t remember what happens next, but I wrote down: buildings…city…travel…people.
I enjoy participating in this.

So good to know you were dreaming with us! And good your brought a great planner along with you 🙂

This dream has a little trickster energy at work I think! — How can we know what the future holds for our world. Just as we think we’ve got a grip we’re all thrown for a loop! Keeps us humble I think. The thing that stands out for me if your dream were mine is an adaptability/flexibility and readiness for sudden changes. Could be very helpful!

Cher was in my dream that night.
(only afterwards I found out she is in a new movie; maybe she is making a come-back into the collective unconscious!!)
She was walking some kids back from school, and there was a sense of wow, those kids were lucky, and that she was described as ‘hot’ the way she was dressed.
It was the only dream I remember from that nite, Sorry to post late, but the dream was on time, though i’d forgotton to ‘incubate’ one, if this counts.

Wow, I just did a reverse skim (i.e., I skimmed the comments above after posting).
It’s exciting to see John Lennon, music concert performance (your dream), and these music connections. Also John Lennon in a trench, makes me think how in society we want to ‘Bury” his ideas and dreams of peace, but of course they can’t be kept underground. Also reminds me we had a recent John Lennon conversation but not on this site…
Now I will keep the song from above brenda’s dream in my head today, thanks (“all I am saying, is give peace a chance”.)

PSS now I see why you prefer we post dreams here rather than individual e-mail to you!!! The connections can be seen.
sweet dreams and peaceful awakenings,

This is NOT a dream, but a reality. On December 31st at 4:00 a.m., a large group of people gathered at Unity Church of Bellevue (Washington) to participate in an instant of global cooperation in World Healing Prayer for Peace. It is my understanding that this event has been happening globally since 1986 and that 500-million people come together at the same hour, based on a time of 12:00 p.m. Greenwich Mean Time. Check it out @ Quartres.org or World Healing.org
