Children's Dreams November 2011

 Here are seven dreams from my piano students. I translated them but tried to keep the original (lack of) punctuation were possible. 

I dreamed one time about everyday life.. but backwards. My mother is really nice, but now…. She was mean!. My cat was hissing and scratching. My father is really strong and in my dream a weakling. I changed…. Playing Nintendo was suddenly stupid. And my hair was blond and straight! I only wore black… and in normal life I wear colors… and we didn’t eat pea soup, but brussel sprouts and then… I woke up! (Robyn)

Monster-Me Video Chase 19 October 2011

 I am in a video game (somewhere I know my 9 year old son is there to help me). We are in a room for the transformation. They say: we will use you to make three monsters. One way is that I split in two to become a monster, covered in slime. Another way is that I lay on a platform and they put all sorts of monstrous attributes on me. Once again I am slimey and very, very ugly. The third way is not clear in the dream. I must undergo the transition.

After I have been 'monstrified', I can choose one of the monsters to chase my 'normal' me.

fatherly wisdom

 my father is at a gather of people, family? he is standing on the side, observing parents with children. i move over toward him hoping he will tell me what is on his mind, as it seems he is having a deep thought.

he says (something like, i get the information more in images and complete thoughts rather than language), 'a common mistake young parents make is following their children linearly, as if time moves linearly, they hope to keep their children safe that way, chasing them from one situation to the next, protecting them...

white koala bear, castle and packing up

 i am in a very old home, like a castle. there is a room with a large table, full of things to partake of (food? or objects?). i move to the left of the table. there is a very big bed with a heavy tapestry-like (a thick, patterned weave, but only one color) spread on it, with faded golden tassels around the edges. the spread is a rich, deep orange. i realize that it was red, but has faded in the sun. that is why the color is so rich and slowly lightening toward the edges.

attraction and touch

 i am in a group. there is an older man there. he rubs his leg against mine. i like it a lot and am attracted to him. at the same time i am not sure of the situation. is it ok? we are starting a relationship, but it is still a bit secretive. we have more touching, sides of the body against each other. it is contact and feeling and releasing. no grabbing.

i am at a track and field event. looking for someone at the different events to cheer them on. i come across an old university friend. he puts his arm around me in a familiar/claiming way. i do not like this and move away.

the essence of my father

 i dream the essence of my father. he is gone, taken from me. dead?

in the quiet of my waking dream, i arise, put on healing music and do simple exercises. suddenly i AM the moon woman, holding out my arms to my father and radiating light from my whole torso. i feel my longing for him and release my deep sadness.

moon body

 i am with a friend. we are traveling, but also trying to get home. 'we must go to the tiny islands around morroco with the french names'. i look up one on the map. three short french words, meaning nuts or nut trees... yes, there we will find delight.
