Dream: My Subconscious Strikes Back

All those mental breakthroughs of this week, all the transformations that my conscious mind is so pleased about? My subconscious is not happy. I just woke from a dream in which she reminded me why it's important to identify with Swords/Air and with my powerful Father -- and urged me to continue my resistance to Elemental Water.

( Scary hang-gliding, dangerous sea monsters, illusions, a powerless father, a hero debased, and my daughter left behind and then clinging to me. No -- It was not a pleasant dream at all. )

So, yeah. . . My subconscious is in an utter panic about the work I've been doing. Elemental Water is dangerous. Powerful father is good. Impotent father and water together = panic mode! Not even my daimon can protect me if I venture out into this territory.

Social Day -- With a Walk!

I've been having a much-more-social-than-usual Saturday.

This morning I had the pleasure of visting red_the_squeaky -- and we went for a walk! It's been a beautiful, clear Fall day with lots of gorgeous colors to enjoy. It was nice to have a one-on-one conversation with her for the first time.

After visiting Red, I drove further north to a munch where I didn't know anyone, but ended up having some good conversations and connecting with someone who is interested in spiritual direction. I gave her one of my cards. We'll see if she follows up.

I had a nice talk on the phone with oakmouse on my drive home about some of the transformational stuff doing on and last night's dream, and now I'm taking a few minutes of downtime before going over to have dinner with my parents and hang out for a while. I've been feeling guilty because Wolfling and I have seen very little of them since school started. I haven't meant to shut them out, but I also haven't felt like going out again once I get home from work. I'm remedying that this evening. I won't be out too late, however. I need some alone time today!
