Dreams

Last night I dreamt about tornadoes...and orcas. Not the same dream
- two different dreams. Both recurring themes however...why orcas?
I get tornadoes. It symbolizes my fear that things are getting out
of control, or impending doom. In my tornado dream, I was literally
heading towards the basement of my childhood, but I was holding my
current dog Ruby. Dogs are amazing don't you think? I can't believe
how much pleasure I get from just having Ruby - she is not overly
affectionate and she's horribly trained - but I love her little
face. Today she was taking a sun bath on the living room rug and she
looked like the cow jumping over the moon. I just had to stop what I
was doing and kiss her all over!

Anyway, in my dream, I believe she was my talisman. I was carrying
her down to the basement. Remember I said the other day that I felt
like I was cleaning out the basement of my soul? Well, last night,
in my sleep, I got to journey into that basement and see what it
looks like - and let me tell you, it's gross. But I went down there
with Ruby (who represents sheer joy to me, pure pleasure) and really,
I think the message I took from the dream is that yes, there are a
bunch of tornadoes flying around out there right now, and/but it's
time to get my basement in order and focus on cleaning that out. But
I can bring my guardian angel(s) with me and I'm not alone. And
neither are you.
