I woke up confused
yet excited
like something special had just happened
but I couldn't be sure
I started asking questions
Maude is his grandmother
(now I know)
this house......
yellow and white
with a garden so big
and lots of pretties
a child's delight?
close to the ocean
it had to be.....
oh yes, he said
the breeze way too?
yes, I had been there
he asked me to describe the woman
I talked with last night
tiny
petite
formal and stern
pinched in facial features
yet pretty
he was amazed
I described his great grandmother
perfectly........
having only met her
in dream

Ah... I knew there was more..and feel still more behind this write... the event is of import...but the meaning and the connection..how are they woven into this so thatit rips our hearts..and minds to take us where we are on the edge of understanding more??? ( yes I am being pushy)

This is absolutely amazing....what did she have to say? Or did she just stand there, nodding approval at her great-grandchild's choice in a wife....?

there was more..... she was very interested and determined to show me old bottles, like medicine bottles....
and she said she killed someone...( yeah, wild, I know) but she thought she killed this person with syrup of epicak (spelling?)and I told her she didn't, that's supposed to make you throw up.....( although I don't know if it can kill) but I had to keep telling her she hadn't. The bottles, were really important........

so look into the depths of all that you remember and having captured the facts... weave for us a tale... one with meaning both in your experience and in the broader world... there is your vehicle.. now where is your fuel???

Susan...

this is WILD yes....but most awesome.
the fact that you not only remember the
dream but were able to capture it in
words makes it even more so! u are a
gifted poetress but perhaps thats not
where all your "talents" lie...take care.
and keep writing about this!!

take care.

This is way too cool. I so have done that and been correct about something that I dreamed. It's a cool experience. I loved this.

don't miss the lesson. . .

take a look at your life right now. . . what's going on in it??  Is there anything that you can see or think of that might reflect what's been going on in your dreams???

the bottles are important. . . as they represent a storehouse. . . but of what??  emotions?  knowledge?  this really doesn't share that. . .

hmmmmmmmm. . . still working on it. . .
