Bad Drivers, Doll-makers, & An Angry Tribal Spirit

[From July 2008]

Wow. I just had a doozy of a dream at 4 in the morning. I had to get up and share once I was awake enough to write cogently!

 The first part of the dream was a repeat of several dreams I've been having the last 3 or 4 months that involve my being with my family (sometimes with my father along, sometimes not-- as in real life he's dead.) The family aspects seem to be getting ready to move or something, and for some reason my mother who was driving hands the driver's seat to my sister, Erica. She can't drive in real life, and in the dreams she's not so good at it. She drives on the wrong side of the road, she weaves and swerves all over the place. Luckily, traffic is low and the other drivers on the road manage to avoid hitting us. In several of the dreams, I'm giving my sister driving lessons (though in real life, I don't drive either...!) and I can see over time that her driving is improving. 

[I know that driving in dreams is indicative of steering your life, of being in charge of yourself and your own path. My mother aspect used to drive me around, but now I seem to be showing sister aspect how to do it. I don't know why I don't just do it myself--! What's going on with that part of the repeating dream, anyway?]

A Wild Card Guide -- the Jester, Says Hello!

[From Nov. 2009]

I just awoke from a very strange dream-- fun and bizarre.

Lately, I've had a thing for Cillian Murphy. What can I say-- he's tasty, but also intriguing-- a deadly combination for my libido it would seem! Anyway, I was dreaming that I was younger, in my 20s, and meeting with my boyfriend who just happened to look like Cillian. We were basically exploring this little town in Ireland somewhere.

I realized this was the strange Faery Jester man from a dream I had a long time ago, and awoke.

This Aspect is one I'm not well familiar with. He's like a wild card-- a maverick or rogue before McCain and Palin ruined those terms. He's playful, but loving towards me. Though he might seem frightening because of his great power... I find him reassuring for some reason. Him jumping into Cillian's role in my dream made me laugh, but also touched my heart a little. I can't help but notice that both in his bowler hat and top hat he's got a thing for the whole IRISH theme. Duly noted.

Also, he seems too powerful, wise, and weird to be an Aspect. I have come to believe he's a Sliver Chakra Guide. He has all these odd ways to point things out to me and 'make a bigger picture out of the pieces'. At first, I was a bit uncomfortable with him, but I've come to learn how helpful and good at teaching me he really is.
