"I am still trying hard to go upward -- to what is
important to me. Though heaven and earth are tilted I
still find what is familiar and important to me. My
'Self' does not alter."    May

 

DaFuMu for Peace
Dreams for January  2005

Jean 

I am walking in bright sunlight in a bazaar (See why I want to call the Silent Auction an International Bazaar?  I keep dreaming about them.)  I am a man, a priest.  I am wearing a black cassock, and one of those nifty red, wide collars that some priests wear, particularly in the Greek Orthodox church, I believe.  I am carrying a big basket over one arm for groceries.  I am holding in my right hand a couple of lamb shanks, trying to decide whether to buy them or not.  I am followed by a crowd of children, both boys and girls, mostly between the ages of eight and twelve.  They are barefoot, dark haired, middle Eastern, but dressed in Western clothing.  They are from an orphanage or are street kids I work with.

In my mind I hear the words, "It's amazing how many different things can be done with the money" (meaning money we raise here on the Bridge).  At first the priest is saying that to himself as he looks back over his shoulder at the crowd of kids, catching the eye of a beautiful little girl with tangled curls, wearing a brown and cream plaid dress.  Then it is me saying it to the priest.  And then I am fully lucid, realizing that this is a dream I'm sharing with the priest and the kids.  And then I am awake, hearing said to ME, "Feed the hungry."

Like I said, pretty clear.  I think we need to remember that we still live in a world where a lot of people go hungry every day, and many starve.  It's hard to build world peace when basic needs are not being met.

I saw one of my desks, the largest one(90cm~180cm) which was covered with many things, notes, books, cds, and so on. I perceived a message or an order in my mind to prepare that desk clean in purpose of painting. Painting?

That's all. Anyway, Tabula Rasa will relate with my deeds in future.

This is the part I am remembering from last night's dreams other than usual events of earthquakes etc; "I am climbing to a building, where there are people I dint see for a long time. They are working for Freedom and Solidarity Party. I have a backpack in one hand and white papers in other. There are questions and answers I prepared to lighten them on the papers. I am asking a young woman to take their photocopies for me. An old friend says the people I am looking for are in the next room. I am feeling happy that I will give them the answers I prepared. I am thinking that they are important for their work for peace. The buildings (the one we are in and others) begins to slide parallel and with a little angle to the earth. But it doest effect us physically or emotionally. We are hopeful and smiling. I am sitting in font of a wall and leaning to an old friend. The dead ones are also with us. I feel that we are in a different kind of place where the dead and alive can be together for good things."

There were two clips on the hood of my car, one on each side of the hood close to the windshield. They were made of thick wire. One was missing and the other was broken. I was in a large warehouse where I knew there were two auto parts dealers. I first went to the one I had dealt with before, which was in the back, and found that it had gone out of business, presumably because the other dealer had moved into the front of the building and taken all of its customers. I went back to the front just as the owner or manager of the other business was pulling down a metal security screen in front of the business to close for the day. I persuaded him to sell me the clips I needed. I was afraid that if I didn't get the clips before I left, the hood of my car would come up while I was driving and block my vision.


Diana

My dream was of a pair of tap dancing children. I could only see their feet. They had a little box with them, that sent some signal as to what routine they should shift to. This went on for awhile, and as I watched their shoes, I could tell that they weren't professionals, but they weren't about to give up, practice...practice.

I've never been a dancer of any sort. Peculiar dream.


Victoria

I had a number of dreams over recent nights.. ones that I think will recur when I am ready 
to remember.

A part I do remember though is of many people deciding what in life are needs and what 
the cost per person is for these needs.. and developing apt fundraising programs from 
that idea.. including, perhaps selling things.

Jean did any stalls in 'your bazaar' have cream canvas and things like windchimes draped 
from them? If so I think I joined you there.

Also, we in the group were helping to organise efforts for many people to learn 
'emergency first aid' skills.. and working on other skills needed - particularly for the many 
parts of the world that are war-torn or affected by natural disasters.

I recall talking about the need to balance the fiery anger of the earth that somehow 
heated the tsunami.

***

Did I already mention having a dream of a wheel - like a wheel of fortune - except that it 
had hooks around the circumference so that if people worked together we could through 
lifelines to one another.

It seemed dark in and around the wheel - especially the lower half of it - but we were 
leaving white candles around.. not yet lit.. it would take group effort and the energy of 
shared heartfelt trust to light them when the time is right.

We were at IASD Conference and you (Jean) were presenting a new presentation to everyone with Power Point. I was in charge of making the changes with this new 3D software... but I had not realized all the pages were done, when I was making changes to the first screen. Rita D. was there too... Roger M was there... there was quite a crowd. But we got it all together... and the new software was really neat and I was going to learn how to work with it so that you (Jean) could have a monthly newsletter to everyone later on. That was just part of the dream.. 

I wonder why I dream of IASD so much. I don't think in all my life I've dreamed of one particular thing as much as I do the organization -- other than my returning to my old college (Occidental).... goes to show you how much IASD touches me maybe or how much a part of dreams it represents for me.
