The Dream (January 21, 1997)

So Tim, you weren't home last night. So you get to here about this morning's dream:

I had another dream this morning. Another awareness. One of those asleep but not situations. It's funny, but I have only had two dreams like this in my entire life. The previous one had (what I thought to be) an American Indian quality to it. Some kind of metaphor involving a flock of birds performing a dance in the sky.

This one started with an American Indian. He was kneeling and bent over as if in prayer. My awareness zoomed in and I could see that his hands were cupped and he was tenderly and gently blowing into them. I became more aware and saw that in his hands was the smallest spark. I could feel his breath. I could feel the tenderness of his hands. I could feel his longing. And then I could see the forest. I could feel the coldness of the night. I began to burn. The soul of this little spark was filled. I began to rage. It was not a rage of anger but of love.

I was only his smallest spark and to him I was everything. I knew what I had to do. I knew he was right. And I knew he had to let me go and to believe in me.

I love those dreams.
