sunday
Woke up from a couple dreams I wanted to remember. In the last one I was at a women's retreat. In an old wooden house - summer - big screen porches for sleeping. We all traded beds. There were beds everywhere and the point of the week was to sleep in every spot, or at least lie there for a while. A couple delivery men came to the door and one of the women answered it. She was a woman with many tattoos who wore no clothes. The two men were surprised. We were all amused because we were used to that woman being naked. It was her way. There was a pile of guitars and musical instruments by the door. It seemed that they were mine and someone was asking me about them. I said - sure - help yourself - play them. A woman (the dream is driving me crazy because it's like I know her in real life or at least she a famous person I should know but I can't place her now that I'm awake - who is she?) got out an old instrument with 3 strings. It was like a drawer with strings. She was pulling the front of the drawer out and it changed the pitch of the strings. Each string was held by a tiny carving of a deer and the deer's legs went into holes - you could adjust it by putting the legs in different holes. She discovered a hidden wheel that fine tuned it. I said, look at you! You found a wheel. I was amazed at all she was able to do with it. I had had it for years but never knew what to do with it.
The earlier dream. Mr. Grill had a store in town and for some reason he didn't like me. (In reality we are living in his former house and I do believe he did like me). In the dream he had told me to never come back but I kept coming back. I wouldn't believe that he had rejected me. He was exasperated with me, but I could see that he was coming around and forgiving me for whatever he thought I had done. In the dream I thought that he was holding it against me that I had done drugs in the past. But that was long ago. I was a different person now. Then it morphed into the women's retreat dream.
The feeling in the women's retreat dream was of unlimited creativity. Acceptance and friendliness. Expanding possibilities. I was learning so much and felt that when I went home later I would be changed - added to. Last night before I went to bed I was looking into getting a book: Layers of Meaning by Rakefet Hadar. It reminded me of women's retreats I used to go to. I could sure use a women's retreat now.
Snowing today.
Dave said he was going to make fried mush for breakfast today so I don't want to eat and ruin my appetite. I wish he'd get up - I'm hungry. He spent 2 days ice fishing and wanted to take it easy today. Being outdoors in the bitter cold from dawn till dark takes it out of you.
