Well, as you know, I am pursuing my dreams. The lovely Suzi recommended a most fabulous book - Dreamways of the Iroquois. I ordered my copy when I could finally afford it, secondhand, and it took a while to get here. Now it has I am trying to inhale it....
I love it and I am going to be sad when I get to the end. I find his stories so fascinating. I know I am going to have to read more. I have not even gotten to the technique section yet....
There have been a few snippets that were beyond fascinating....
In passing he mentioned that goose bumps indicate truth and I know that feeling. That shiver that runs up your spine when something happens, a thought, an event, an anything, but something true and powerful..... I had the most powerful rush of this when I realised the watch strap was a gift from my Gran. i often get them. I often have no idea what to do with the agreement they give though!
He also says that following synchronicity is what dreamers do to follow the dreams in their waking life. I like this. i like this idea of connection between the two. I like synchronicity. I had some this weekend....
A friend was talking about a ghost film he had watched and we all got to talking about ghost experiences we had had. I added mine, my one and only really.... Big Dog and Little Dog used to greet F and I with a canine chorus. Big Dog would lead with great loud howls and Little Dog used to fill in with yips and a real high pitch yowl. I loved it. It always brought a smile to my face. Only the three of us were ever greeted in this way, F, S and me. Big Dog died and the chorus died with him, Little Dog had no one to lead her in it. But every so often for a little while after he died she would sing the chorus by herself, and we would all be in the house already, so there was no reason for her to sing.... I believe Big Dog was there saying hello and singing with her.
That night I lay in the bath, clasping my new copy of Dreamways. I could hear F in the lounge talking via Xbox to a mate. Little Dog could not decide where to be and the friend had not realised we even had a dog.... So F told him about Big Dog too. What made the synchronicity even stronger was that I was reading about the author's dog, Kipling, who had stuck around after he died and when he had moved on, he began a guide.....
But what does that mean to me? Is Big Dog a spirit guide to me now? I like to think so....
The book also talked about listening to your dreams and bringing things from them into your life.
I dreamt of lots of boxes and one of them was supposed to go on..... I had been witholding the buttonholes from f m-i-l (only since Friday) and I realised I needed to send them over, so i did. Then last night I dreamt about coffee and left over things from my Gran. I talked about coffee today....
Life is for living and advice is for trying out. Why buy books if you are just going to read and not do? well, maybe cos I like understanding *laugh* but this year has sure been a year of growth for me.... long may it continue...

i've been seeing a lot of synchronicity arising lately..funny reading this now..after certain synchs.. like another wee confirmation:D they have been happening following dreams..night-time visitations from various animal kin..all bringing clarity and calm..and whatever the weather smiles...
I don't remember night time visitations from animal kin.... synchronicity though.... plenty of that some days! Would love to hear more of your journeying and your dreams!
yay... you got it! its very readable eh? Ari, think you'd like too!
