Hello dreamers!
My intention was global healing. Dreamt that I was with fellow dreamers and we were on our way to an event. We pulled over in a bad neighborhood, the one I grew up in, and decided to claim powerful affirmations about ourselves. This felt great and it really helped that we were all together. Next scene: at a local spiritual center, I didnt know anyone there. Saw a woman dressed as a devil and a man dressed all in black. Even their faces were painted. I felt uncomfortable and so did everyone else. They decided to leave and it felt like they were trying to make a point and/or statement, and they got what they wanted. Next scene: I was walking around with a plate of chicken, this time around I had mango salsa as the sauce. I thought to myself this is different than before, in my dream I thought of the intention, and thought healing can happen with “mango salsa”, really? lol. EOD
RC: My dreamer friends I recognized, but didnt recognize anyone from the spiritual center.
Love the mango salsa, for me it felt like spicing it up using a variety of fruits and vegetables! Like all of us on this planet!
Feedback welcomed.

Hi Glory,
Yes, I feel the healing in the mango salsa! (Really, I do 🙂 ) Here’s what I see: I notice lots of opposites … a ying/yang feeling … in these images. A “bad” neighborhood, but there are pwerful affirmations; a spiritual center where there’s a devil and the color black; and then … salsa: A joyous, spicy, tasty mixture … a blend of sweet and sharp … the coming together of opposites to create colorful nurturing deliciousness.
So, if it were my dream I would feel the healing in bringing together the so-called opposites. What do I consider to be the devil, scary, and bad? How can I affirm their healing, helpful qualities and add them to the mix? If I do, I imagine I’ll create a recipe for healing my self and my world!

Just reading this now–I had opposites/polarities in my dream as well–I am tickled by
crossover themes. :-).

This probably sounds silly, but ‘mango salsa’ feels like a latin dance to me – I tell myself not to be ‘chicken’, dance the dance – for healing. Maybe the event is a dance, for charity, I’m imagining – to bring improvements for this ‘bad’ neighborhood. Powerful affirmations that good can come with understanding.

Intention: How can I be of service to Mother Earth in her healing re climate change?
Preparation:
A) Tarot: Cd 1. The Magician (The Channeler, internal focus); Cd 2. Ace of Wands (new path is open, magical moment, powerful transforming energy); Cd 3. Two of Cups (Strong, passionate relationship, union, nature sanctified)
B) Sang my Soul Song
C) Brought Pachamama energy (Healing/Wholeness/Holiness) with her Puma animal spirit, and Crow Woman (Cosmic Order) with me into my dreams
Dream: “Connecting the Dots”
(lost most of it)
I am heading for a set destination, meeting someone/others there.
(half awake?) I draw our paths in dotted lines to the place we meet, a structure with field stone foundation about four feet in depth, finished in clapboard siding. On my map, my path is from the NorthWest corner straight to the SouthWest corner; the other person/people’s path if from the NorthEast corner diagonally to the SouthWest corner. The dotted lines meet at our destination. I recall in my dream saying “We connect the dots”.
The house/structure is the same as one of three houses I dreamt of a week ago (Apr 30) in which I was planning to remodel, it had light green siding.
When awake, I drew my dream. It felt like we crossed paths near our destination, that the structure was very solid, basic – had a good feeling to it. Drawing my dream, the image brings to mind geese flying together in a Vee – how one takes the lead, then switches to rest and the formation comes back into a “Vee” – feels like a strong alliance, heading North in Spring, South in autumn.
I awoke with the song “Dream Lover” in my head “…. until then, I’ll go to sleep and dream again…”
I’d love to hear your comments, beautiful dreamers.

May 6, 2012:dream upon waking, remember seeing lots of kittens, cats, and some of the cats were digging holes in the dirt and then laying in the hole?! thought why they were doing that…
maybe animal kingdom tapping, tuning, “digging” into earth events too…
usually they can hide or stay cooler in the dirt, or something happening
above ground making them want to get “under ground”?
I was talking to an orange/white tabby, maybe 6 months old, and as it was
digging in dirt I said what are you doing that for, I can hold you, next
scene it’s in my arms, wake up EOD.

Hi Mary,
Yes, I like your reading of your dream! Digging into the earth. And for me kittens are new, hopeful, and playful … but they grow into powerful, magical animals!
I love the image of you holding the orange/white tabby, too. Feels nurturing and joining of our animal and human instincts.
Thank you for dreaming with us!

Good morning Sylvia!
BTW, it was a pleasure seeing you in my dream last night (read below). I do feel we were connected because as I prepared for Friday night’s full moon dream with DGI I also pulled the Ace of Wands!
In the first dream, the meaning seems to be stated in the dream itself. “We Connect the dots.” If it were my dream I’d take it at face value: Healing comes when we come together, both within ourselves and as a global community, from all corners and make connections.
This dream also reminds me of Glory’s … where in my view of her dreams, opposites find a way to come together in a spicy and sweet mix!
In the house dream I feel I have a solid basis, a place for gatherings and people and energies coming together! (The geese imagery you use confirms this for me).
❤
May 6, 2012 at 7:06 pm
Sylvia
Good day to you too, Tzivia!
It feels like my house/structure may have been the restaurant of your dream where we meet… and our needing to pay ahead, brings me ‘Pay it forward’ idea. What knowledge we might have for healing should be shared with others I meet, widening into a global experience. Thanks so much for your wonderful dreams, as we ‘connect the dots’.

I heard something about geese that strikes me as particularly wonderful: if one of the flock gets into trouble while flying, two others will come to fly with it, acting in unity with the injured or sick one to support and protect it. Talk about unity-based….ahhh.
May 10, 2012 at 5:17 am
Sylvia
Thanks for your insight, Tzivia, I do agree.
And Ava, I love your story about the geese. They are marvellous creatures. We have Canadian geese visiting us on our lake, and they are always teaching us something new about relationships and loyalty.

Dream Report 5-6-12
350 Dreamers Full Moon Dream Night:
Intention: Tonight I dedicate my dreams to global healing.
“Out to Dinner with my Dream Sister, We have to Pay Up Front”
I’m going out to dinner with Sylvia. The Maitre D’ tells us we have to pay before we are seated.
1) “That’ll be $29” each, she says. I ask what that’s all about? Why do we pay up front?
She tells us it’s for two pastry sandwiches (each). I ask what’s in them. She says cheese, veggies, and pork. I say I don’t eat pork and request a vegetarian sandwich. She says that’ll be fine.
I don’t love this pay ahead business, but I go along with it.
It’s a large restaurant with a big outdoor covered patio section through which we enter. It’s a warm evening. I’m wearing a coat by Sylvia is not.
2) “I Get My Questions Answered at Local History Lecture”
I’m going to an event at the Holyoke Public Library. I make plans to go with my friend L. But then she decides not to go.
Now I’m going now to the talk with DK and his son. As we’re walking his son says to DK, “Aren’t you going to introduce me to your girlfriend?” I turn to the son, who I assume is C., and say, “We’ve met, but hello again, I’m Tzivia.
He says, “I’m Kevin.” And I realize I have not met this son. I thought I knew both of DKs sons, but now it seems he has a third. I’m confused. But we keep walking.
We get to the library and DK has gone ahead to get a seat. Kevin and I climb a dark stairway into the auditorium.
We rise into the auditorium and I think I see DK sitting far across the other side of the stairs. There seems to be no way to get there from here.
I also see L leaning on a pole in the aisle. I say, “I thought you weren’t coming?” She decided to, she tells me. I invite her to sit with her, but she says she’s fine.
The talk is about some part of the city’s history. Someone mentions that Mrs. McCarthy once came to visit the city. I wonder if it’s Mrs. Eugene McCarthy, but there’s no Q&A period. As soon as the talk ends the speaker leaves and the audience disperses.
I walk to the front of the hall to ask my questions. The speaker comes over and sets up a mike and podium, since I’ve requested Q&A.
I speak into the mike and ask my Q about which Mrs. McArthy was mentioned in the talk.
The answer is that yes, it was Mrs. Eugene McArthy.
3) “A Healer Here to Help with My Heart”
A yoga teacher is taking my pulse. I tell him my heart’s been skipping a beat. He says he feels a normal pulse. I say it happens every 17 beats or so. After a moment he feels the skip. “Ah, there it is!” he says. But he doesn’t seem worried. I think he’s an acupuncturist and I feel he’s taking good care of me.
EODS
REFLECTIONS: I don’t feel like I was able to focus my intention as much as I would have liked because of my canine friend who was spending the night and who did a lot of wandering and barking during the night, waking me up, etc.
I saw some near hits, though: In dream 1) I was entering a restaurant with Sylvia, who is one of my dream sisters, and who dreams with us here. So in this dream I feel I was connecting with our group. The “Pay ahead” thing seemed like it might have resonance with the theme but I’m not sure how yet 🙂
In dream 2) I thought that the reference to McCarthy (sp) a significant historical figure, was significant given the global nature of the dream. I liked that McCarthy was famous for interrogating others, but in this dream I got my question answered 🙂 I also noticed how easy it was to get my question answered, despite the initial appearance to the contrary. This, too might have resonance with the intention … “Ask and ye shall receive” 🙂
3) I include this last dream even though it feels personal, because a healer was present. I really am having an issue with my heart skipping beats so the dream is somewhat literal, but a heart is also a metaphor, and a healer showing up for a global healing intention seems significant!
🙂

I am posting this dream for Sherry, who was unable to get on the site today.
SHERRY’S DREAM REPORT:
Here is my dream:
“We’re All In the Same Boat”
In my dream I’m in a boat, riding with a group of people I don’t recognize. As we’re riding along through a channel, it narrows and we’re concerned that we can’t get through.
One by one, each person reveals a personal challenge. One man realizes he’s not an only child. He has siblings—this is something he hasn’t known about himself. A woman reveals that in her past she was a stripper. Another woman expresses her pain at being judged harshly by her sister. As each person speaks, we all feel more compassion, and we become more united, wanting to help one another.
With compassion and unity, we can get through.
Nice metaphor for global healing!
Thanks for inviting me to dream with you.
Love & blessings, Sherry

I love in this dream that it is by the revelation of personal vulnerability that unity grows. We are all in the same humanity boat with our vulnerability.
May 6, 2012 at 5:06 pm
Tzivia
Hi Sherry,
Yes, indeed. That is a beautiful metaphor for Global Healing. When we reveal our selves we find the connections (Connect the Dots … ) between us, and we find those connections through compassion … an emotion that leads to one-ness, unity!

May 6, 2012: Intention- tonight I will dream for global healing and how I can help.
Dream: The hospital I work for has changed its name to “First General Safety”. I am at a retreat/ workshop eating corn and black bean salsa. The symbolism of the salsa holds the answer to why the hospital changed its name. (In the dream I understood the reasons but it is lost now) Later/ Next dream, We are taking a test. After I turn in my test I want to change my answer to a question about the hospital’s new name. I retrieve my paper and start to change the answer when I realize it is not my test, this was not my answer. As I realize this, someone in charge comes in and finds me changing the answer. I try to explain that I wanted to change my answer and this is not my test, but she is angry. The person’s whose test I accidently changed and myself get in trouble. We can’t ride home on the bus.
In waking life I work at a hospital. Perhaps a new name suggests a new work I should do. Obviously I don’t have the right answers yet, for myself or others. I’m dissappointed I lost the meaning of the salsa. I like Rainorion’s idea of “spicing it up”.
Thanks for sharing.

Hi Laura …
Whoa! Did you take a look at Glory’s dream? You both have salsa in your dreams. Now, what are the chances of that? (Play Twilight Zone music here Woo-ooo-woo! 🙂 Seriously, I’m floored by that bit of telepathy/mutual dream magic, etc!
Okay, as for your dream. If it were mine: “First General Safety” would be a clear direction for global healing. If all our world leaders and corporate leaders, and each individual adopted this as our motto, wouldn’t our world be a safer and happier place?
It also reminds me of the Hippocratic Oath: First do no harm.:
Thank you for sharing your dreams.

Wow, amazing. Love your dream Laura! The salsa is a shared theme. It is diversity with a kick and very tasty.

ITWMD, dreams from Rainorion and Laura, ITWMD, both mention “Salsa”, Salsa makes me think of several things Cuban music, dancing, and “global” i.e. “earth” locations, Puerto Rico, and Mexico. Just thought it was worth a mention.
Take care! 🙂

Hi Laura,
First, General Safety for All and the Planet! What could be more healing? Thanks so much for the promise it brings.
Much love.

Also, in terms of global healing, the beans and corn in the salsa make me think of the basic crops and foods that sustain us … and how with genetic alterations, this basic food source, these staples of nourishment, are being threatened.

I went to sleep aware of the powerful moon, and aware of the group intentions for dreaming, as well as my own.
I dreamed I am climbing alone in a steep, snowy, slippery wilderness. A few people who seem to be a family pass me going in the opposite direction. Just as they pass, the next incline is particularly steep and slippery. I don’t know if I can make it, and I hang on, almost clawing with my hands, and pull myself up.
I see buildings in the distance and walk toward them. I realize two things about my appearance:
1. I am wearing a long white cotton knit nightgown that is not quite clean in the back. (I do own such a nightgown in waking life, and in fact, have worn it to bed.) I can’t really see what is on it, but it may be stained with some faded pink menstrual blood, and there also may be something faintly yellow on it. I am self conscious about this and realize I want to change my clothes when I get where I am going;
2. I have a really cute short haircut in the dream, and I think it looks good on me.
When I reach the buildings, they are combo hotel/dormitories. It turns out I am there for a retreat.
Throughout the dream, I either speak to, or see people from my past, old friends, ex-lovers, including one person from whom I have been particularly estranged. I have the feeling I have somehow invited this person, and that is a surprise to me. My feeling toward all seems to be fairly but not completely neutral and open.
A woman in her early forties with big blue eyes introduces herself to me; she is coordinating arrangements for the retreat and the arrival of the Personage holding the retreat in the dream, who is a woman. She (the forty-ish woman) tells me that she thinks my daughter looks exactly like me. It turns out that she herself has a young teenaged daughter that I think looks exactly like her! I tell her.
Then I am fixing up the room with the forty-ish woman. The woman says simple is fine for the retreat leader, the Feminine Personage, and we go about placing a candle and smudging, also arranging seating.
The forty-ish woman’s upper back is bothering her and I do a polarity hold on either side of her vertebrae in an effort to help her, from the throat chakra in the back down to her heart chakra, all on her back. The bodywork is helpful, as she opens to and feels her feelings with my fingers on her back, identifying sensitivities and where energy flow is subtly impeded.
Then I am speaking on the phone with another old friend, telling her about the estranged friend’s appearance in particular. My friend on the phone says, “How interesting, we must talk about that.”
I am not sure whether or not I ever get to change out of the nightgown.

Hi Ava,
Thank you for sharing your dreams. I’m so happy you were able to dream with us!
I notice the themes of aloneness and togetherness in your dreams … connection and estrangement … going it alone up the steep hill and also helping and healing one another! I love that you were able to give someone a healing in your dream. I love when that happens for me in my dreams, and actually was hoping I might be able to give some Reiki during last night’s dreams … so I’m having some dream envy over here 🙂
The nightgown is such an interesting image! It is “real” … don’t we all have such stained bedclothes … stained with evidence of our humanness … the “clothes” we’re never seen in public in. But somehow in this dream it feels like an authentic garb and somehow important in that way.

P.S. I ATE salsa yesterday, as it was Cinco de Mayo…

Ah, yes, good point about Cinco de Mayo and the salsa theme! I love it!
May 7, 2012 at 3:28 am
Ava Wolf
Thank you for your response to my dreaming, Tzivia. I am struck with your thoughts about the nightgown, about which my thoughts were heading down the same track. The nightgown has a Ritual look to it; it is completely unadorned, has long sleeves, and goes all the way to the floor. My ex, upon seeing it (in waking life), made a sardonic remark, asking if I were on my way to church. I got it from one of those old people’s catalogs like Dr. Leonard’s because it looked so comfortable and is 100% cotton, not so easy to find these days. Being white and of possible sacred aspect, it could be seen to symbolize the transpersonal, and yet the evidence of my humanness is indeed on it, perhaps telling me that my humanity is as indelible as my spirituality and part of it, that I cannot get rid of it, hide it, or change out of it. My humanity is also messy. It stains. The stains also speak to bodily processes that are not within my control, things I cannot sanitize, though I might want to. They are by-products, evidence of blood (passion? sexuality?) and some other unknown yellowish fluid secretion. I appreciate you reminding me that we all have these things! Thank you also for shining a light on the aloneness and togetherness themes. Aloneness/Togetherness, Connection/Estrangement, Transpersonal/Human–seeming polar opposites: The healing modality I employ in the dream is polarity. In terms of Global Healing, perhaps one of the messages of the dream is that non-dual healing, the integration, balancing, and/or reconciliation of opposites, may be key both personally and collectively.

Hi all! What wonderful dreams. I was in a hotel last night and in lots of pain having spent the day doing Tough Mudder, so my sleep was fitful and strange, but I did get this dream down (intention was how to bring the urgency of climate change/global warming to light for earth healing):
I am with some kind of preacher man or spiritual elder type. I don’t know him in waking life. He is rotund, balding and wears wire-rimmed glasses. He has a caring and knowledgeable way about him. He is teaching me how to use spiritual passages that I have been studying (not biblical, but I don’t know what they were) to convey important messages to the public. He clearly explains to me that the words don’t really matter, and he is teaching me how to use specific hand gestures and vocal inflections to convey gentleness and compassion. There are other blurry people with me who are there learning the same skills.
Reflection: my emotion on waking felt calm and determined. The dream clearly seems to be pointing out to me two things: one, that we need to speak in a language that everyone understands and that is universal to human understanding, and two, that what we actually do is much more important than what we say when it comes to effecting change.
I felt this dream was very important for me, and I could feel that I wasn’t alone with my intention, so thank you all!

I did a meditation journey this morning instead of a traditional dream for global healing (as I was incubating a dream for another group last night), and here is my meditation experience:
I set my intention to journey for increased understanding of how to expand global healing. I opened myself to journey to the upper or lower world, but never really felt drawn to either. Instead, I was more or less stationary, and had a series of images and feelings that came to me:
I see a large semi-abstract brass angel, which reminds me of the decorative angel my grandmother would always display around Christmas time in their home. I liked the angels – they came in a set of 3, but in this vision there was only one. I felt a benevolent presence.
Next I see an image of a gold-colored equidistant cross (like a plus sign), with a circular-type shape in each segment. I hear words “the four agreements”. (incidentally, I have heard of a book with that title, but never read it…). I feel message come through: We are meant to be different and have different perspectives on Earth, but we lack the connection between the different groups, and knowing the wisdom of respecting different perspectives. Once we realize that to connect with others of different traditions/perspectives does not weaken our own viewpoint or individual strength, but instead increases the flow of goodness for everyone, we will be able to work together towards greater peace and wholeness. I see little gold details come out of inside part of cross that connect the 4 segments.
End of Meditation.
I felt this message made a lot of sense for me. I often think about how to balance individual freedom with the needs of others in my life, and I think this is something relevant to global politics as well.
Thanks for reading! I am glad I got to participate, even in an unusual way 🙂

Hi Anne,
I love your creative approach to managing multiple group dreams! Journeying and visioning of all sorts are great ways to join the dream energy!
The image of the cross-shape and the positive message about different perspectives feels like it echoes the salsa theme of other dreams posted here 🙂 It is really a profound and important message about harmony on a planet that fosters and thrives on biological diversity … which results in diversity of thought and belief. This is the challenge and the beauty of our planet … how do we live together given our varied and valid perspectives?
Hoepfully the angel can help us find our way 🙂
May 8, 2012 at 11:55 pm
Anne
Thank you for appreciating the message as much I as did 🙂 I didn’t think about it from a biological perspective, but that is so true, and I feel it adds a whole other layer….

I had lots of long & involved dreams … and don’t have time to post them here but will come back when I do have time! The essence of all of them (I think) is that it is time to claim conscious responsibility and not rely on “what will be will be” or some Higher Power to take care of things. Kind of like the saying (that I don’t hear to much any more), “if it’s going to be, it’s up to me.”
Thank you to all of you who dream together and for caring about humanity and the earth! :))

Hi Laurel,
Thank you for sharing the essence of your dreams with us. The lessons you draw from them are resonant for me and for our group theme. Consciousness and responsibility are potent themes and potent calls to action! Thank you again for bringing these words and ideas into the conversation!

I made the intention to dream of global healing before falling asleep.
Getting comfortable
I was attending an outdoor concert. There were lots and lots of people there. I felt I was lucky in that I was able to see the stage even though there were many people in front of me; this was because there was a nice break in the crowd right in front of where I was sanding. Then out of the blue a kind of stage-booth appeared behind me against which I could lean and feel comfortable. This booth turned somehow into a car so I could lean against it, but it was a bit too far behind me for comfortable leaning back. Then somehow a row of attached seats appeared behind me. I tried sitting but it was not too comfortable because of the angle of this row of seats. A man next to me said that the seats leaned too much in the forward position. He said we needed forward support. He saw a chair which he got for himself and a kind of milk crate which he brought over for me. We put our feet on these and then we
were comfortable as we watched the concert on the stage, which, surprisingly was easy to see even though we were sitting. .

Hi David,
Is it just a coincidence that in my dream you were sitting in an audience watching an event? Okay, so it wasn’t a concert but it was close. What do you think?

Mmmm, and was it a coincidence that on the day before my dream I asked the young fellow who incidentally looks a bit like C if his name was Kevin. He said, close, it’s Evan.

C being your son C? Because in the dream Kevin looked just like him. That’s cool! You know my take on it … what do YOU think Dr. K? 🙂
