Mystic Dream Center

I was coming out of a deep sleep this morning and yet more in that realm than this. In my dream I am moving through a field of long grass and weeds.  Really I am walking fast and somewhat stumbling along because as I look down I see I am wearing metal…mail in fact, and it is cumbersome.  I am unconcerned and even happy as I amble my way alone.  I am aware that I am walking away from a battle and not going towards one.  The sun is shining and I am in Europe on a lovely May day. I look down again at my armor and I admire it gratefully. I may have the armor made of the bigger pieces of metal ( it was more economical) and in some ways this suit is harder to manuever in, but I know too that it is a better layer of protection from incoming attacks than the finer style of metal mail; the one made from links. I am contemplating how much time it takes a craftsman to make the mail made of link, when I realize I no longer live in that time period.  Still very much in a sleep state, I remark aloud to my Beloved, ” How did anyone ever have the time to make a suit of armor made of mail?” He responds, ” They did not have TV back then.”    I remind him I never watch TV now and yet would not have the time to make link after link for a suit of mail.

I am now awake.  I am amused I was more concerned about the time needed to create this mail then that I had stepped into a past life.  Dreams remind us of who we are and who we have been.

When did the concept of our Dreams get confused with life goals?  ” Follow your Dream” is understood to mean follow your hearts wishes.  In a round about way I guess it weaves back to our dreams; the ones we have while we sleep.  The important disconnect is that for many of us, our wishes are understood by our left brain, linear thinking, which is often in conflict with our Soul; at least initially.

Our sleep dreams are where its at; not our consensual understanding of what may be important for a’ full life’ understood  in a modern Western context.  Our Souls and our Dreams are much messier than that.

Which leads me to this past couple of weeks.  A few people are dreaming Big Soul dreams.  How do we recognize them?  They are reminding us of times long ago when we incurred trauma.  They come knocking on our consciousness requesting politely ( initially, and if we choose to ignore them they come back with more emotion and maybe even as a nightmare) that we bring healing to a past hurt that we shoved off to the side.  The timing is perfect for healing when these dreams come through.  It is Soul Retrieval in a perfectly timed way.

I have worked with people who, even after years of therapy and counseling, have unwittingly evaded the parts that hurt the most.  We can escape only so long before our Dreams bring them back.  The Sleep Dreams.  We can bring immense and deep healing to our lives when we can brave up and learn how to understand these dreams and the enormous gifts they bring to our life.

In this way Dreams and wishes of the Heart are woven together.  We can consciously heal and bring together our fragmented parts.  This is a Soul task and one that requires our Heart and not our brains.  Dreams are our vehicle for this!

I am reading for a woman whose deceased father is telling me she really needs to relax more in her life and take a vacation.  She looks surprised and replies she has a vacation scheduled in a couple of weeks and this is inaccurate. Her father is shaking his head no and insisting she really take a vacation.  At this point I want to drop the subject and move on, especially because I can see the woman is getting agitated.  Her father shows me an image of her at a beach completely tense and unable to relax.  When I tell her what I am shown, she agrees she has not been able to relax in a very long time~vacation or not.  A perfect example of what we know ( her) and what we see ( me) can be quite different.

In a windy kind of way, I had a similar conundrum with knowing and seeing in my own life this morning.  I awake to my dog bounding through the house ( though I know I put her in her crate last night) and my chickens were out of their coup, though I know I had left them in all day yesterday because it work pouring rain all day.  I know what I did and yet I saw something else and I have no explanation.  Silly Life!

Recently a woman contacted me seeking help for a Vet who has been having enormous problems sleeping and coping with his life.  He lost the use of his legs in a war.  No wonder he is feeling overwhelmed and my heart aches as I hear this.  He has been looking for some time for someone who can assist him in a Soul Retrieval, yet to no avail, till she meets me. Both she and he sense ( accurately) that if they can gather part(s) of him that have left due to trauma, he will be better able to cope with life. She asks how much will I charge for this as he needs to save up before he can have it done.

My first inclination is to run right over and help, irrelevant of the money.  I normally do not promote my ability to do this most sacred work, and just leave it to chance, so to speak , that someone come to me for this help.  But~ the problem is this, I also see so much profound Soul loss as of late,  that I am inspired to help as I can.  I recommend remembering your dreams as the first and best place to retrieve more of your Self, and I will happily teach anyone how to do this for the price of a song.

This was my reply this morning to them:

I have a link on my website that has a Soul Retrieval priced at $350.  This is high, in part, to dissuade anyone from coming to me for a lighthearted romp around their Soul.  That said, I can offer it to your friend for  half that at $175 and I will even let him break it into three payments if he needs to.

If you, or anyone near and dear to you might benefit from this, please contact me.

Indigenous People knew that the Dream World was the Real World.  They knew how to access the Powers that speak to us in our dreams both for the community as well as our personal lives, through the ancient method of Shamanic Journeying.  Clarity and understanding come easier when we can travel in a realm that is accessible for this.  Join us on this fascinating day of deep and profound adventure!

¨ We will journey to our authentic Power Animals through heartbeat, shamanic drumming.

¨ We will explore the art of dream theatre, a common practice among Native Americans.

¨ We will have a  greater understanding of the Elemental influence in our bodies.  How is           your fire, water, earth and air?   How will we allow the Elements a voice in our lives?

¨  We will explore who the Star Beings are.

¨ We will learn how the story of Hiawatha is relevant for us still.

Space is limited, so register asap!

Come prepared with paper, colored pencils and a sense of wonder.  Bring a bag lunch, tea will be provided.

My new plate! This…..is what I’m talking bout!
You may call me a Dreamer, but I’m not the only one!

Dreaming with Tarot The gateway to the invisible must be visible. This is a cardinal rule of the Western imagination, and in this class in practical magic, we will learn how to journey to extraordinary places by borrowing from the great treasure house of images of Tarot. We’ll learn to use Tarot cards as mirrors of the self, as guides to relationship, and as clues to what may be going to unfold. We’ll follow the play of earth and air, wind and water, in the alternation of suits, and read patterns of manifestation in the rhythms of the numbers. We’ll get to know the members of the Tarot court, and recognize how their comings and goings show us people and aspects of our own personalities that are coming into play in our lives. In the movements of the major arcana, we’ll study the influence of the transpersonal, dynamic forces Jung called the archetypes. We’ll learn and practice basic skills of divination. As dreamers, we’ll go beyond traditional card reading and hand-me-down attributions. We’ll journey, with shamanic drumming, using Tarot images as doorways to hidden realms. We’ll travel on Tarot paths on the Tree of Life that can take us to places of discovery and initiation on the inner planes. We’ll follow the play of Tarot images in our dreams, and get a second opinion on certain dreams from Tarot. We’ll perform Tarot theatre, speaking and embodying the powers and elements evoked by the cards, or the powers and elements they evoke. We’ll use Tarot spreads and Tarot journeys to create original stories. We’ll learn the art of Tarot journaling, and how to check our readings against subsequent events and the weave of synchronicity in the larger world. You will be invited to design and draw or paint three personal Tarot cards by the end of the workshop. Preparation: No extensive familiarity with Tarot is required, but if you are new to Tarot you’ll want to get ready by acquiring a deck and drawing a daily card. Before you look up what it is supposed to mean in the book or booklet that comes with the deck, sit with the card for a while and see what you feel and notice. Then do your reading, and pay attention to what happens later that day, and check whether the card alerted you to anything that was developing. What to bring: You need to bring either the Rider-Waite or the Thoth deck. You may also bring a deck that is a personal favorite, or a new one for experiment with “fresh eyes”. You will also need a notebook you can use as your Tarot Journal and your own basic art supplies. MOSSDREAMS.COM

This past weekend I held the all day intensive Dreaming with the Elements in East Hampstead, NH.  Curiously, I was recharged at the end of this class.  Normally when I lead an all day class I am tired at the end of the day.  I guess the Elements recharge us in ways not always recognized! Here are some quick highlights:

Fire~ Birth, Death, destruction, rebirth, the Phoenix, 1, heart chakra

Water~ Magical, unique to Earth, maternal, has the most forms; fresh, salt, rain,tears,fog,snow,ice,sweat etc

Air~ Carrier of Spirit and prayers, ideas, element resonant with angels, third eye

Earth~Joy. Love, 4,  holds every body I have ever had in any life, plus all my ancestors, plus all of humanity is still buried here, and yet we dont feel like we are walking on the dead, nor eons of excrement.  The Earth knows how to transform!

I am heart broken as I read that a shooter ( maybe more than one)  has gone into a CT elementary school and open fired, killing at least 27 as I write this.  How can one human do this to another, especially children?  It is beyond comprehension for me.

A couple of years back I was happily traveling the CA coastline, when I heard over the news that a man in Norway went on a killing spree.  I was stunned.  Norway? Nothing bad happens there.  The man who did this looked like a healthy, pleasant fellow.  All my wires on the logical side of my brain burned out.  I saw no logic or even a thread of logic, which lead me to one conclusion and this is it:

We need to take the absolute best of us to spend time with the absolute worst of us.

I dont believe in the death penalty.  All moral reasons aside, it is uneffective.  We kill an injured Soul for them to reincarnate again, with possibly even more issues.  So~ I believe we should incarcerate them, ( for our own protection) and have a human ( the holiest of us,  someone with enough self awareness of the magnificence a human being can be) to spend perhaps an hour or two with them once a week.  They do not need to talk or preach ( that would be ineffective since that would be a logical thing to do and this is beyond all logical applications), but rather just sit.  Maybe read to themselves or even do their grocery list; it wouldnt matter much. The sheer vibration would be enough to incremently shift the energy of the Soul less one.  It may take years before any noticeable change would take place, or maybe a few weeks.  Either way, we can be assured we are making progress toward a positive direction instead of leaving a Soul to fester upon itself and others.  I suspect that there is a balance of the worst of us and the best of us, just as the curious phenomenon of an equal number of highly intelligent people and not so intelligent people.  The majority of us falling in the widest band of average intelligence.  The chart is rather like a diamond actually.

I request that the ‘best of the best’ come forward now to help in the healing and fragmentation of humanity.

I was given this Bear the other day by someone I love.  He did not remember that I have had two dreams in my life that changed the course I was on by an image identical to this.

One, many years back, was in a dream in which a Bear positioned like the one in this photo, moved under a thin sheet of ice deep in a winter forest.  In a moment he was birthed and chased me home.  After a three day vigil at my door, he exclaimed, ” I will never leave you Susan!  I am your friend forever.”  Thus started my intensive training in the Dreamtime and Healing.

Four years ago I had a dream of a Bear curled in my kitchen sleeping soundly.  When I cried out in the dream, ” Why are you here?  Do I need another healing?”  His response was, ” Dont worry.  Your path is being redirected to a more suitable one.”  I was happy with the one I had at the time though.  Within ten weeks, my course changed and, amongst other changes, I started working entirely for myself  teaching Dreamwork as fast and furious as I could. ( both dreams are described in greater detail in my book; The Power of Dreams)

So I am given this sweet Door Guardian last week, and as I walk back from my barn carrying him in my arms, I look down and realize he is not a porcupine but a Bear! I stop for a moment in my tracks.  Is this a good thing?  It always felt scarey in my dreams and yet worked out in beautiful unforseen ways in my waking life.  I will hold that optimism as I place him as the guardian of my home.  A Bear in my waking life/dream coming to clear my path.

I want to create a global dream network so we can track what the dreams are saying. In addition to factoring in the financial, economic and social consequences of our larger decisions, we would also seek counsel in the dreams. We would give voice to the earth and all her inhabitants; and in doing so, we would be in a co- creative world with all living creatures. I do not think it is best that humans are the exclusive species that should determine how we will fix the problems that we created on our Earth. The Earth belongs to all of us.
