A man is at the sight of a large ‘western’ dam, at a mountain top where a room is flooded, up to the knees (?), children are playing, the water is warm and inviting—and there he is with his former wife who was never his soul or body’s desire. Somewhere the words; ‘second visit’ were stated---and the words:” come on in, the water’s fine.” The door (and maybe the man too) are swinging open and shut between worlds, and traversing as we all do, the same spiral dance of our lives that offers us the opportunity to negotiate the same hurdles but in a new form. DAMN!


Another man finds himself in a line of people in a wooded scene where across a small creek there stands, and sits, the M.C. of this affirming ritual at a grand piano, playing music while he ‘orchestrates’ a ceremony to bless and celebrate the lives of each
Participant. The man waiting his turn notices that the M.C. bears the same name that he has, and the name also carries the name and invitation that Abraham (and Sarah) followed to enter a new land.
Apparently these invitations to try a new thing do not stop at a certain age. (Abraham was 100 +) and Sarah too became pregnant at such an age. Second chances abound high on mountains and in in wooded forests—water seems to always be present. . . the water of life, grief, redemption, the unconscious? Take your pick.

And finally: a woman has with her, or in her, a ‘tiny car’ as she is about to have an operation in the hospital. She fears that this precious small vehicle will be stolen and has it squeezed into a small cabinet. She is cold, and the nurse asks her why she has left the door open? The dream group seemed befuddled by this small dream but remember: She has ‘left the door open’ to all of this. Perhaps even a skilled group of dreamers and healers ought to let the open door bring unexpected events. One dream participant even evoked Rumi’s “The Guest House” where a ‘wind’ blows what is familiar around and away. Let this dreamer’s cool wind
bring a new adventure . . . that we cannot name or predict. Hospitals are where dramatic events involving change occur.

Maybe the usual vehicle she moves around in must be crammed into a closet at times. Who knows?
