2 Catcher-coats

Dream: I was with two people who had 'catcher-coats' on. One was made of cross-hatched rubbery blue and he smiled and stretched it to show it was very flexible. He said ''This coat is to catch bugs and keep me safe from bugs, but what do you think that one is for?" and he smiled at the guy wearing a wire mesh jacket in black with little transistors at each cross-hatch. They smiled at me as if I were a litle kid and I'd be surprised/scared by what the black catcher-coat caught!

A Layer Cake for Nanny Margaret Case

Dream: I was at my house on Lake Titus Road, yet it was now her house and we all came to visit her. Someone knocked on the door and gave me a pretty round layer cake, white with one rose on it for her. I thought, 'yum, we're going to have cake tonight!". The door opened and people came in bringing a huge huge sheet cake and at the head of it was attatched another round layer cake. It was so big we had to lay it on the floor and she sat at one corner on a stool near the door. The cake was covered in rich icing and swirls and roses and had a slight golden sheen. She was wearing a 1950's golden wool coat with round collar and big corsage on it. She had on a pill box hat with a net and more flowers. She was beaming with joy and we were all so pleased for her getting the recognition she deserved. ---end of dream---

comments: Nanny Mag's raised a bunch of kids, 6, and by herself when my Dad was 16 and my grandfather died. She always cooked great big meals on holidays when we visited her. More and more I think of her. I never knew her as an adult but I understand so much more now and wish I could go and learn about what her life and what she was like. I miss her. I feel sort of cheated because when my Dad died I was 15 and there was no real contact after that. Life is strange. I suppose my grandkids will be busy teens wanting nothing to do with old people  and I hope I understand that they just don't get it yet. Maybe it will be different. I don't think my Mom was helpful at all about encouraging us to keep a relationship with her estranged husband. I only see glimmers of 'facts' and more fiction so what can I do but let it go. Find peace in the now.

Dream Title: A friend for brother George

Dream: A friend for brother George

Dream: My now 65 yr old brother, George, was about 30 in the dream and visiting from far away. It seemed he had just broken up with someone and had no one so visited us. I felt bad for him and tried to think of someone who had a sister or cousin he could meet. No luck. On the ride to take him back, I think we were in a convertible and leaving from the blue Lake Titus Rd. house, we had to pull over to a camp site, or amusement area and he met a guy with a family and talked all about cars and they were 'friends' right away. I was relieved.

Comments: I haven't seen my brother in years and years. He's quite the cold fish.

Dream Title: Catching the bus

Dream: I am in busy Patchogue, Long Island, NY in the mid '60's but it is all different. It is Christmas and I have to get fabric and also find a gift for my brother George. Sometimes it is my son, Mykel, who I can't find an appropriate gift for and I'm running out o~f money and time. I see the shops are all scrambled, different and the city-like crowds are shoving and trying to catch busses. What bus can I take home? I feel lost. I see busses stopping across the street and I make my way over there and ask someone how to get back home. ~end of dream~

Comments: I did take the bus with friend Anita when we were young teens going from Farmingville to Patchogue by bus. It was always a bit scary for me then and I've had this same dream in various forms countless times.

On a higher note, my dream teacher told me that bus dreams or cars, bikes, planes etc. are transit dreams from one plane to another, the 03 dream plane to the 01 physical plane.

Margot Benary-Isbert and Enrico Arno

In 1955 Margot Benary-Isbert wrote 'The Wicked Enchantment'. It is a lovely young adult novel translated from German and illustrated by Enrico Arno. It is now out of print. 

When my daughter was a little girl, we read this and it became a family favorite.  In the story, Aunt Gundula sleeps in a large bed she calls 'The Dream Ship', thus our big, roomy bed became our own dream ship. 

She is now a grown woman expecting her own child and she reintroduced me to this book I am now borrowing. I found Enrico's illustrations so nice and his art of dream ship worked great for my blog. Thank you Margot and Enrico where ever you are sailing.

Rowan tosses Pink Glitter on Jade

Jade's Dream: Her step-niece, Rowan, threw pink glitter on her.

Notes: PINK!! I think this is another 'It's a girl!' dream for Jade. I've been having flashes and the fact that Rowan, Sophie, Me all are specific, we want a girl! I don't think Jay and Jade care. I know even if it is a girl I won't be able to make pink glittery things for her because Mama Jade is just not into the pink, shiny stuff. We'll see what we get!  Oh, and pink is love in my dreamology too, so I think Rowan was expressing love.

Dream: The Golden Skein of Yarn

Dreamt I was sorting out a busy room of supplies and after all was packaged away I only had one thing left to keep for myself. It was an extra large skein of old yarn in a golden color. It had a few flecks of other colors or dust but it still looked useable. I thought "I'll make myself a great big sweater."

notes: of course, I do have tons of yarn all over the place and dozens of started projects. I've been busy. We have a new grandson, Leonardo, born June 3 2011 at 8:06 am and what an adorable boy! I've been trying to send white, gold, violet as often as I can to my loved ones, and often, the whole Universe.
White = balanced Gold=healing, giving, positive and violet=dissolves pain, negative energy, and takes away what is not needed to become balanced. I think the gold yarn and making myself a big sweater out of it is a positive healing myself dream. Loved it.

Skinny oriental cat and old man

Dream: It was a long busy dream. Gary's parents were both there and they had some younger people (kids?) with them and we were all on vacation. A big, heavy man was hurt. A carnival-like train with open carts held everyone and an extra car pulled along behind had the hurt lined up lying down. He was among them. Then there was another car attatched to that. It was open and an old, old oriental man (with a que) held a skinny white siamese-like cat with a long thin neck and triangular head. They seemed content with each other as the cars rode along.

Boxes without Toppsess

Title of dream: Boxes w/o Topsess

Dream: I was in a school cafeteria set up for a show for little ones, five and under and we set up a circle of big, empty, topless cereal or detergent boxes about 2 ft. high. In each was a little kid. I knew it was part of the show, that at some point the children would pop out of the boxes like a surprise!! I believe a little girl was in the box I went up to and looked down into the box worrying that the kids might not have enough air in there even with the tops gone.

Comments: I really think this is yet another "my kids are having babies soon!". Adam and Lisa know theirs is a little boy who will be Leo. Jade and Jay don't want to know the sex until birth. Will theirs be a little girl?

Dream Title: Old Lady in Black

Title: Old Lady in black w/ white hair

date:april 13, 2011

Dream: I was being introduced by several young college age people to a new person, or a person who hadn't seen me in a long, long, time. I said " Boy, are they going to be surprised when they see me". I stood in front of a mirror and I wasn't me/now I was a tall, tall elegant looking old woman with long, straight white hair and a powdery white face. I had on a black pillbox hat with a long feather, and a fur collar over a long straight black coat.

Comments: Black and White as a definite observed item or person, horse, clothing, room, car, etc.
I was taught that b&w represents changes to come, usually in a positive way. I am anything but tall and elegant and I'm not sure who 'she' was or is. I didn't feel like she was me in another life or inner life. I'll have to watch for clues in future dreams or some synchronicity in my waking day.

Ooo Baby, Baby

Rowan
