Welcome dreamers! Yup, this is the right place to post your dreams. What did you dream last night. Go on, say it, even if you’re not sure it “fits” the intention …
And do feel free to comment on other dreamers’ posts. When commenting, our biggest interest is in how the dream relates to the intention– i.e. how do you see the dream responding to the question of Global Healing.” Also, you might notice connections between dreams, as this was a community dreaming night. Note that, too!
For courtesy’s sake, please, don’t interpret anyone’s dream for them, but do feel free to comment by saying, “If it were my dream…” as a way of respectfully reflecting on the dream without imposing your point of view on the dreamer.
That said, let the conversation begin!

Here’s one of my dreams from last night. I’ll try to post more later on, but for now I’ve got to get ready for work 🙂
“Time to Re-Grow the Destroyed Garden – Again”
I’m looking at a garden that is just starting to grow back with weeds and wildflowers after a long time fallow/empty. I’m admiring aloud how the plants have come back: Some tall red plants with red feathery tops, green plants, and sprawling cactus in the middle of it. I say off-handedly, “It’s too bad that cactus grew in so ugly.”
Someone overhears me and in a crazy, impulsive, wild-woman gesture bolts into the garden and with ka-pow-like gestures destroys the cactus and all the new plants around it, leveling the brand new garden back to “ground zero” or bare earth: “Tabula Rasa,” as I say.
I’m disappointed because it had all started coming back so beautifully and I’m really sorry she did this. She walks back to where we’re all sitting while icing her cactus-needle wounds, and looking bedraggled from her battle with the sprawling cactus.
I refrain from telling her how upset I am because she’s suffering from her own wounds right now. But I do say, speaking nicely to her, “This time when the garden comes back can you just let it grow and not take it down unless somebody asks you to do it?”

My elderly mother and I are at a place for lunch and I notice that she has gotten smaller and smaller. She’s now no more than two feet tall. All her clothes fit her exactly right. She’s herself but in miniature. I tell her I’m concerned and I give her a hug. She is unconcerned.

Hello this is part of the dream-gathering for September 2013:
Part of my dreaming seemed to involve talking to people about “suspended coffee/suspended food” at places that sell food and drinks (where people pay extra so another person receives a drink and something to eat too. I am not certain just how it is decided who receives this “extra” food and drink. It is slightly different from places with cards where every 10th coffee you buy translates to one given to a homeless person/person in need) In my dream I was also wondering how much of an uphill battle it still seems to be to celebrate an International Day of Peace. Imagery related to that was of a cartoon person going downwards too quickly in a lift. There seemed to be a cartoon grub/caterpillar at the controls.

Hi Victoria,
Thank you for dreaming with us! i like the idea in your dream of “Suspended coffee & food” being a plan that involves each person giving a little more so another person can eat and drink! I hope it catches on in the waking world!

Dream fragments. I am surrounded by people I do not know in a metropolitan area on a street. I want to connect with them, to be “part of.” I feel alone and isolated. There are women and men, both. Two women are involved in a private-looking conversation. There doesn’t seem to be a way for me to enter their field. One of the women seems to look at me askance. The scene changes and there is a major flood in the city. People are swimming along on city streets, treading water. I am swimming too. The water is high, way above our heads. I see the same two women. The one who has eyed me askance seems a little more open to me now, and responds at least minimally to my recognition of her and my greeting. I am searching for a missing man, last seen on a bicycle. The scene changes again and I am on a dry street. I pass a bicycle shop and see the man I am looking for. I am glad to have found him, and will let others who have also been looking for him know that I have found him. There is a feeling of great relief and happiness that will ripple outward. I awaken.

Hi Ava,
So glad you were able to dream with us!
The first part of your dream feels like the process of entering into a group dream environment … trying to connect with the field of group dreaming.
The part of the dream I feel most strongly is the feeling at the end of relief and happiness rippling outward. Energetically this feels important and in line with our intention … that our dreaming will ripple out and spread relief (healing) and happiness throughout the world!

Hi Tzivia, my appreciation to you always for your dream invitation and also your thoughtful comments on all the dreaming. My thanks as well to all the dreamers. I wish I had more time/energy to ponder here; perhaps when waking life “lets up” for me a bit! I do feel it is important to insist (in my own psyche) on paying continued attention here. Be well! And a wonderful Equinox celebration to you and all dreamers!

We had 2 dreamers here last night and although my husband did not capture a dream he did dedicate his dreams to global healing for the earth and all her inhabitants!
My dreams:
#1- I buy galoshes because I am going to visit California and collect rainwater. The neighbor’s lawn mower is too loud and when I look I see it is covered in suds.
#2 – I am cooking food for people. One little boy can only eat “irradiated mushroom soup”. My microwave oven is broken so I am trying to find another radiation source. The boys mother and I are “searching” through twisting and winding red tubes or tunnels when the boy zooms by flying really fast. We chase after him trying to catch up. I am able to run faster than the mother and I tell her not to panic I can still see him up ahead. When we reach him he appears to have transformed into a yellow wasp.

Hi Laura,
I love that your husband dreamed with us, too! Good work 🙂
I hope the part about you going to visit California (IASD in Berkeley coming up!) is precognitive 🙂
Okay, back to our intention: I don’t know what to make of the image of the lawnmower covered in suds but I like it! It feels whimsical … as does the image of the boy flying and zooming around in Dream #2.
I definitely feel resonances with the intention: Redistributing water, radiation/irradiation, etc.
The redistribution of water reminds me of the redistribution of food and drink in Victoria’s dream above.

I asked specifically what I can do to help heal the world, as well as what we as a people can do. I had two dreams last night.
#1: A woman asked me for a tarot reading. I gave her the cards and she began to use them in the traditional way. Before I could say anything, she was selecting cards in order from the deck and placing them on the table as though she was going to play a card game. I stopped her to say that I not the method that I use, and that she may want to select the cards differently. She continued to act before listening. I explained that I use the Tarotpy method. There were children in the house as well.
Next a man wanted a reading and I decided that it would be better to explain Tarotpy before beginning. As I started to explain, I was not speaking, rather talking inside my head. The man looked strangely at me. I realized what I was doing an then started explaining it verbally to him.
Analysis: The answer for me is to continue on my path by teaching people. By empowering others with this method and tool, I am helping to heal the planet.
#2: My husband and I have this beautiful 3 bedroom house, that badly needs to be redecorated. Everything is piecemeal within it from past roommates, that have been given to us or inherited. My husband’s mom suggest simple changes that can help. She reminds us that his sister is moving in and will only be able to pay very little rent. Finances are already tight and there is no way that we can make any real changes, we feel stuck. I come up with the idea that either we move out of the master bedroom and rent it, or we downsize to a two bedroom apartment. If we rented a room, we would have more money to fix up the place. If we moved into a smaller place we could save money and make things nicer.
Analysis: Decisions need to be made and action is a must for things to change. There needs to be a coherence in how things are put together to achieve the goal. There is also a need in how we manage the space we occupy to stop depleting the earth, either downsize or fill the space that we have created. I feel like there is also something in regards to the house as a representative of the mind.

Dear Beautiful Dreamers, I am sorry I am a day late. I was crazy busy yesterday but did incubate for world peace and recalled these dreams:
I am in a hotel in New Orleans. I am to meet Kelly and some friends of hers. Kelly shows up at my hotel room with two friends: a couple I do not know. Kelly says I have to go to with them. I don’t want to go. We go to Kelly’s house. I don’t want to be there. We get into a large lake or pond and the water begins to burn and fills with flames.
Then something about an Amish family with a teenage son who has to walk a very long way, often in inclement weather, to get to school. His family doesn’t care that he has to walk such a far way every day. Someone who drives a wagon goes out of their way to pick up the boy and give him a ride to school.

Words for Global Healing
21.09.2013, 1
In the bardo between meditation and sleep: I’m given words mattering for the global healing. I don’t want to get up and write, I’ll surely remember…
General impressions
.. and I don’t 😦
Two words. An M in the beginning of the second.
Mun, mum or same such combinations. Sounding Latin.
Was the first dream in the night, more in the hypnagogic state, recall is fuzzy.
The four dreams I recall following this night though all revolve around my family, it appears this is the place where global healing takes place for me today…
Exercise
Incubating for global healing, part of 350+ dreamers.
I could not recall dreams yesterday, so I set my mind to it again last night.
Conclusion
The four dreams I recall following this night though all revolve around my family, it appears this is the place where global healing takes place for me today…

Hi Ralf,
Thanks for dreaming with us! And yes, it sometimes takes more than one night of setting the intention for the dreams to click in.
Meanwhile, to me family certainly feels like the starting place for any sort of healing. In fact, healing family wounds is a primal and powerful place to begin, and gives us the strength to ripple that healing outward (drawing on the image of rippling relief and happiness in Ava’s dream above) to the community and global community!

Changing Nature
21.09.2013, 2
In the back garden of my lot. My father dug a large part of the ground and now filled it with adobe. I wonder why he did, does he want to make the pond bigger? I’m sorry for the plants he removed for this, and then more water could be furthering the ecologic situation. My ground is much larger.
Some of the heaps of adobe come into sliding, and I fear the original pond will be covered.
General impressions
My father and mother built the house I’m living in. I changed the ground by and by, and while digging the house to insulate it, I piled lots of adobe. I used it to secure the ground on the border behind the house, where there is a decline towards a farmer’s field.
Seeing my father digging the ground, removing “mother ground”, filling with adobe concerns me. But then I am this father, I do like him, but I’m more concerned about the ecological consequences, of what I’m doing, and I’m proud of my mindset, regardless of the derision of my father, calling me the “Friend of the Ants” 😀
My back garden is much larger than usual. This may allude to a possible “wider” influence of what I’m doing/ what he is doing.
More water, could bring more diversity to the biosystem.
Current concerns
Some days ago I tidied the lower of the two ponds on our ground. Lots of waterplant roots, many stones, and more mud. I thought: The plants are going to come back, anyway. I didn’t take away all of them. The mud will turn to humus on my compost heaps. The stones make a good rim to the new terrace.
Exercise
Incubating global healing
Conclusion
More water, could bring more diversity to the biosystem.
Changing Nature: We should be aware of ecologic consequences.

I feel my “Changing Nature” dream is very similar to Tzivia’s “Time to Re-Grow the Destroyed Garden – Again”
In my dream my father seems to embody my impulse to change nature, like it were adobe in the hands of a potter. Like we were allowed to do anything, because it is “our” ground. Technically – juridical it is, in both our dreams, but it is part of something larger, of NATURE. The words “my ground” are just a construction, after all. Nature just IS. For me there are direct – biological and more subtle – psychological or even psychic connections between myself and Nature, as represented by “my” garden in my dream and waking physical life. We are in constant exchange and communication on many levels, and maybe Nature could live without humanity, but the reverse is not true…
And for a PS: I just picked two fruits from the ground under the apple tree in our back garden we received for our wedding two years ago. We enjoyed the sour refreshing taste, which but got sweet once we chewed on it longer. So much for communication on many levels 🙂

Hi Ralf,
Yes, I too was struck by similarities in our dreams about gardens. One interesting connection … my dream features a cactus, a plant that stores water efficiently and doesn’t need much watering … and in yours adobe (a stone product I associate with desert regions where cacti grow) fills in the garden to make room for more water …
I am also struck within the dreams and waking how things “grow back”–the resiliency of nature and of the human spirit.
Also, in your dream I notice how even when the father does something that seems “negative” for the environment (filling in the garden with adobe) there is a positive potential outcome — more water. If it were my dream the father might be the Father (as in God the Father) and the ways that so often what looks like disaster to us is something else entirely in the grand scheme of things …
And gardens of course have so much rich symbolism … Paradise and all that.
Lots to think about here.

I also see “water” as a shared symbol of three dreamers. Chez Ava’s dream it is too much water, threatening, destructive, whereas Laura plans to “visit California and collect rainwater. ” Here water appears to be a desired, scarce good. In my dream I hope more water adds to biodiversity.
On my lot I collect rainwater from the roves and lead it into the ponds, and into a reservoir underground, so we didn’t run out of water even in this exceptional dry and warm summer. Birds and all kinds of insects drink from the rill connecting the ponds. Also our dogs. This is the water of life!
Only if we pave the ground and force the rivers in concrete beds, like in and around larger cities, and if we don’t give the rivers space for flooding fields, and, and, and … we get to feel the destructive power of water. Rivers have always been places for founding cities. We want to take advantage of Nature, but cry if we have to pay the price for disrespecting her.

Hi Ralf,
I like how you articulated the connections between these dreams! Water was definitely our theme this dreamtime. Water is a great source of healing and a beautiful place to begin blessing and caring for nature. I always like to honor my dreams by bringing their healing wisdom, and images into wake life. Perhaps we can collectively take water as our focus for the days and weeks to come… consciously respecting the water in our lives by using it wisely and appreciating it fully.
–Tz.
September 22, 2013 at 2:31 pm
Ralf
Ah, yes, now I see water connecting all our dreams! A nice idea about honoring water. We walked in light rain with the dogs today. I’ll have to find something tangible, maybe I’ll place one of the many fish pictures on the sill close to my laptop, while wandering the many spaces of PsiberDreamingConference the next two weeks. Hope to CU there!

Victoria, you write:
“…International Day of Peace. Imagery related to that was of a cartoon person going downwards too quickly in a lift. There seemed to be a cartoon grub/caterpillar at the controls.”
Interesting imagery apparently responding to your question. I had a “translation” in mind, if it were my dream, but hold back until you possibly give your own comment. I feel there is an important lesson to learn from your dream.

Hi dreamers,
I have been traveling, getting up really early, and mind too busy to capture my dreams, but my intention has been with you all to dream for global healing. However, I did have a dream on Sep 14 that I honoured yesterday by walking along the Pacific ocean beach in Victoria. So healing to be there, contemplating how much water heals, is so important in all life. I drew Tarot cards before retiring both Thursday and Friday nights, in preparation for dreaming: Sept 18: VIII BALANCE, Looking Within; V SHAMAN, Wisdom, (clear insight into recurring cycles, deep knowledge of underlying forces); Four of Air, Contemplation. Sept 19: the cards seemed to embody our body, mind and spirit: (body) ACE OF FIRE: Power, vitality, impetus to expand, transformation; (Heart) DAUGHTER OF WATER: Romance, loving aspirations, willingness to surrender; (Mind) FATHER OF AIR: Mental Strength, clear thinking, focused intention and decisiveness. (Vision Quest Tarot). My only recall from Friday morning wake-up is of an expanse of water, with a small dotted rectangular box superimposed on it, as if looking through a camera lens.
Sat morn, just an image of an eccentric older woman with thick grey hair that is tied up in interesting braided or cable designs, me wondering how long it must be. I am walking beside her with a clear view of her profile. The woman is dressed in lots of layered clothing of natural materials, darker shades, but not black. She is walking behind her small horse or pony, her long skirts sometimes brushing against the hind hooves of her horse, yet not getting caught. We are walking to the same destination on a dusty dry dirt road. I’d like to get closer to the pony, make contact with it. I feel happy to be here.
I’m struck by all the water dreams this month. My one dream is so earthy, natural feeling and simple in form. It feels unrushed, yet purposeful. There is a feeling of being connected to the earth and simple ways. For me, it feels that there are healing properties in the natural way of being, without complicated mind-boggling technology. Steady, moving ahead at a slow pace, accepting what is now. There is a contrast in the two nights’ dreaming, with the vastness of water, and dryness of land.
I have been very busy visiting my family and traveling, so please excuse me for not having shared until today.
I love all your dreams, and appreciate you Tzivia for the opportunity to share. Many blessings to all. Sylvia

Hi Tzivia! After a leading a Weekend Workshop I finally have time to leave my comment and dream 😉
On the night of the dream quest, I recall the following:
I am in a dark place, but know that I am in a tent with my waking life partner and we are sleeping/want to be asleep. However, I sense/know that there is a visitor-intruder outside who is slowly approaching the zipper door, a woman? I think so… the sense in the dream is that she is almost to the door and I am mirroring her on the inside and just before we meet, I awaken with a slight feeling of nightmarish quality about the events and energy in the dream.
All My Best, Travis W
PS – thx for doing this, I think it’s wonderful!
