I don't really want this to turn exclusively into a dream journal, but I had one last night that is just so relevant to where I am at right now. I just love how the unconscious takes everything that is spinning around in my head from the present and the past and remoulds it into a coherent and recognisable form. So here is the dream.
I am walking along a street when two women pass me. One is slightly younger than the other, who looks rather stooped and bent. The younger woman is helping the elder along.
I think I know them, but am not sure. They too hesitate as I pass and the older one asks "Do you not recognise me?"
I do immediately recognise her as M.F. - my childhood friend and neighbour, whom I have not seen since I was around 11 years old.
She asks me what I have been doing all these years, and I tell her in terms of what children I have had and the age I was when I gave birth to them. I mention my divorce and later remarriage to my 'soulmate'.
I ask her the same thing and she tells me that after her father died, she went looking for 'The Gray'
In the dream, I know that this refers to a fantasy quest game that we played as children and that The Gray is a bracelet of red, white and grey polished stones, cut into cylindrical shapes.
Wonderful stuff! I will write up my reflection in the next post.
