Office Work, SunDanceWednesday, April 15th, 2015

I’m in my office which is a large space and there are people there. I’m trying to pull people together to work. I’m not quite sure what work means and it’s a bit vague, but Marcel and Tai are there, and a woman that’s either Constanza or Molly. I’m going to be doing something that’s either teaching or doing sessions for people and the time has come but people are still milling about and arriving.

I’m at a SunDance on some property out in the country. I’m waking up in the morning and doing work. There’s a beautiful sunrise but there’s smoke from a fire billowing on some neighboring land and I’m wondering where it’s coming from. The dance is a little different in that there are supporters like at Quest. I’m carrying some boxes into a house and this girl steps right in my path and doesn’t seem to want to move which irks me a little. I finally make it to the house and run in Jan. She asks me if I want to dance tonight. She knows I’ve been working and it’ll be a long day, and she mentions that she would ask Shane but he’s supporting LeAnn who’s already dancing and he probably won’t have the energy. I agree to dance.

Maori Psychic, FragmentsWednesday, April 1st, 2015

I went to see a woman who did readings and healings and she was doing some cross-polination of Chinese and Southeast Asian practices. I was sitting there while some things were being done and she told me that a Maori pristess or something was coming and it was a great opportunity for me. The woman who showed up was definitely caucasian and dressed up in a really gaudy outfit. She had a strange accent, and started talking to me about things related to my destiny. We got up from where I was sitting and went to a little table in a courtyard near a street where there were other shops and some really interesting carvings against a wall to my left. While she told me that everything was in alignment for me, I was looking at the carvings that looked to be of bone. They seemed to be of Greek heroes, and you could see the wires from the bows. I wanted to take pictures because the lighting was so cool. The woman started to talk about something important when this guy came waddling across the street in a dragon costume. We asked why he was wearing it and he said because it made it safer to cross the street. When she started talking about something else that I was actually interested in hearing, some people in the cafe across the way started doing some sort of musical number like a flash mob. It was silly and I awoke.

I had arrived at a house in a big red pickup. It was in a forest somewhere and I had parked in a neighbor’s driveway and had dropped some things about in different places. We found out that a fire was coming and we needed to evacuate which was too bad. I needed to get back to the truck and pick things up so we could leave.

I was talking with a man and we went into the house and I sat in a chair to find that Mel had taken apart my capo and I was trying to get all the pieces back in order so I could put it back together.

I had materialized in a large drain pipe in a forest. I saw a cute furry creature and when I walked out of the drain, whispered to it. It started to approach me but I noticed that it didn’t look really healthy and I didn’t want to touch it. I exited the drain and turned left and saw a man that I started to follow and converse with. He had really long dark hair.

Thief, Raptor Man, Fire MandalaMonday, March 9th, 2015

I had asked for some sign about whether I was doing the right thing in my life:

I was some sort of cop or security guard and I was watching a public complex and one guy on my force was a tall black man that I thought was a friend. He had followed two elderly people into the complex and robbed them. He ran out and I chased him thru the complex. I kept taking shortcuts that I knew but couldn’t get close enough. I even slid down a cement ramp next to an escalator on my feet which bought me a couple seconds but I was still behind him. I was thinking of yelling that he’d stolen my wallet. I couldn’t quite catch him.

I was out in my front yard (fictitious home) looking 2 or 3 doors down, and there was a large tree that was missing its branches. On top was a huge nest and an even larger raptor. I was like a cross between and eagle and a hawk. I watched it fly away to catch some prey and come back and feed to smaller birds. I was really curious and wanted to get closer. Inside my own house was Halloween party and people were dressed up in black and white costumes. I walked thru the neighbor’s yard which isn’t something I would normally do. They had a lot of junk in their yard. There were rivulets of water running thru the yard near the tree. As I got closer to the nest, I could the feathers of one bird spread out like a fan and they had a red stripe along the tips with yellow on the ends. The main bird flew down into the yard where I was and it didn’t see me, but I saw turn into a short man. I approached him and told him how incredible the bird in his front yard was. Another friend of mine walked up. The bird man was young, late teens or early twenties. He invited us into his back yard and there were two women who briefly came out to greet us. One was obviously his mother, the other his sister, tho she was a black woman, very heavy set and didn’t resemble him at all. I started asking questions about the bird that he seemed uneasy to answer. There was this parallel to me and the guy with me being Nick and Hank from Grimm and we didn’t want to let him know that we knew about him. The more I talked to him, there was water rising in the yard that was turning into deep rivulets. I asked him about that too but he acted like he didn’t seem to notice but was obviously nervous. His sister came out and made a sinister grimace. The bird man said something about needing to watch my kid and turned into the bird and flew off. I realized that my son was back at the house at the party and he would obviously open the door for someone in costume so I ran out of the back yard and to my home. The bird man landed on the porch, rang the door bell, got my son to come out, then grabbed him and flew away with him.

I’m standing in my back yard with Karen. We had built a large fire in a deeper part of the yard with a large pool or water right next to it. The fire would heat the water for soaking. While we were standing there talking, I looked up into the sky above where the fire and water were, and saw a huge pink geometric shape like a cut stone with beveled edges and angled corners. Below is was a much smaller one. It was beautiful and I commented excitedly to Karen and she responded, “Haven’t you ever seen one of those before?” She walked over to it but I wanted to get a picture and was looking for my camera. When I finally walked over to the water/fire, it had faded away. I watched Karen go into the water head first but the area she chose was really shallow and she was only a foot deep and made a big splash of white substance even tho the water wasn’t white. She finally crawled in and I called her Grace. A guy that was there said he wanted to show my something, so I walked over to a canopy and he had a large book. There was something about June 8, 1665 or so which was in interesting date. Suddenly the mandala appeared again, not quite as vivid as it was before, but beautiful just the same.

Thoughts: This the third dream with Karen in it. I don’t have a son, so who was that and why did the bird man want him? Two dreams with black people, after the other I had this week, more than coincidence. The home was not any I’ve ever lived in. It didn’t feel like Halloween.

Kelly’s Looper and MoreTuesday, January 27th, 2015

I was at a club and Kelly was performing solo. She looked great. She’d grown her hair really long and it was full and beautiful. She was playing a lot of guitar stuff and singing and her equipment setup was pretty sophisticated. She was telling us that this was her first time playing with her looping equipment. She was changing songs and the equipment seemed to die. She couldn’t figure out what was going on. Much of the equipment was wireless, and she asked people in the audience to hold particular pieces so that she could diagnose what was happening. I ended up with the computer or main module that everything else was connected to. She couldn’t figure it out and she was going to abandon using it at all. It reminded me so much of my own wrestling with equipment that would work, then wouldn’t. I felt her frustration. I walked up to the stage and made a couple suggestions on rebooting particular components of the setup to get them online again.

I was in a wet city in the northwest. I was talking to this guy and he was telling me that his mother was going to be performing in a couple of days in the street during some festival or something. I reminded him that I lived in California and that I’d be going home before the. I insisted that he’d have to video and live stream it for me so that I could watch it. I remember looking at my sunglasses and they were really wet from rain.

I was laying in a bed in a room. I was acknowledging how cozy it was. Mel was supposed to be there but he hadn’t come home that night. There was a fireplace in the room built like a brick oven against one wall and behind it were windows. There was gauze blowing in the slight breeze in front of the oven and it looked like the flames from the fire were licking the gauze and I thought it might catch on fire. I got out of bed to check out the fire but it didn’t seem like it was going. I’d wondered if I’d imagined the gauze catching fire.

I was talking to Kirby on the phone. It was his birthday and he was talking a mile a minute tho I can’t remember about what. I also recall walking or riding along a river bed to get back around a mountain.

Events: looping equipment dying, trying to help with it, talking about someone’s mom in a northwest city, laying in bed alone watching fire, talking to Kirby, walking or riding along river bed.
Players: Kelly, Me, guy in city, guy’s mom in city, Kirby
Thoughts: I’ve had a river bed in my dreams lately. Northwest is a direction and one that came up in a BodyTalk Vivaxis formula recently. Two different performers; Kelly and guy’s mom. The idea of equipment failure sucks and I worried about that when I was performing.
