Interpreting dreams
I’m feeling very philosophical today. I remember when I was quite young and my mother asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. My response was a little weird (hey – most of them are), but I told her I wanted to grow up to be a thinker – years later when I found out there were Philosophers in the world, I realised this was the profession I was looking for (and probably still am).
This twinge of my philosophical side must have emerged today because of a strange dream I had last night. I take careful note of my dreams because I often base my stories on them. Without going into too much detail – I was sitting on the side of a volcano that had been dormant for millions of years. It began to erupt and I could see the fire and smoke billowing into the sky above me. I knew there was a lot of danger to the position I was in and no escape, so I stayed to watch the awesomeness of it. It was one of those incredibly strong dreams – the type you know you have to remember. The fact that I’ve never had a volcano dream before makes this one extra interesting.
I’m figuring that my emotions are:
- About to explode, or
- Have already exploded, or
- Exploding as we speak (not an attractive image).
Either way, I’m hoping this erupts in an artistic way and not a destructive way. Volcanoes renew as well as destroy so having never been a destructive person, I’m filled with hope.
The family side of life is a little stressful. Hubby is going in for a hernia op tomorrow and father-in-law is going in for biopsy on Thursday. Living so far from the city means long drives for me on these days to and from the hospital. Did I tell you I hate hospitals? No wonder I’m dreaming of volcanoes.
In the meantime, I’ve been working on my ***Arty Bits*** and here are two of my latest attempts.
I love the little darker flower dude standing out from the crowd on the left of the picture. I called this
Dare To Be Different
The second one is simply called

I love dreams… unless of course they are crazy peri-menopause too much stress do not make any sense at all dreams. These are best acknowledged and set aside. But the others are quite useful. It seems in your dream the feeling of it was important; you knew the best thing to do was let it unfold.
My brain has been a little too busy of late to generate helpful dreams. But last night I dreamed I was with some work colleagues travelling to, then attending an event which appeared to be my farewell, there were lovely set tables and a wrapped gift with my name on it (everything blue, the colour of communication)… but first we had to play some corporate challenge like games which were all set up. Yep, 1 week of notice period down, 5 to go!

My dreams are manifestations of the people or incidents that torment me, and sometimes but rarely reflect something joyous. Once I calm down, I think about who or what is bothering me and then store it with all the rest that I can’t change or fix – yet. Usually I am lucky enough to forget the really awful ones. I have enough trouble living in this world and can’t linger in the other.

I actually used to teach a dream workshop! I had attended a dream interpretation two-month session in Berkeley (CA) many years ago, and learned so much from it, that I decided to teach my own class in an adult ed program.

They are a wonderful learning tool, as you know.
