"I Can Fly"

As far back as I can remember, I have been able to fly in my dreams, always able to get out of any bad situation by just realizing I am dreaming, and flying away. I lift off lightly and go straight up, once I am up in the air I start getting a heavy feeling, and must eventually land,pulled down to earth by gravity..sometimes away from the bad guys(or situation) sometimes not, in which case, I have to take off again. Sometimes I simply fly for pleasure...but always have a limit and have to land...

a couple weeks ago I had this dream after falling asleep with Donna Hamilton's sleep series playing on my MP3

I was on the ground (in my life) in a very bad situation, fear,worry,dread,and anxiety were inundating me, I felt I just couldn't take it anymore... I realized I was dreaming, so I decided to fly, when I reached about cloud height, I felt the "ceiling" or limit I always feel.... I was not ready to come down, so I decided to pray.. I spoke out loud to God asking "Please,God, just let me fly away and never come back down, I just can't take it anymore." All of a sudden I became a ball of light and energy and took off through space ,whirling and hurdling at lightning speed. I realized "WOW" God answered me! Then I realized I didn't really want to never come back, I have a family that loves me.......while zooming through space I spoke to  God again " I didn't mean it, I DO want to be able to come back down!" Suddenly I stop traveling, I am at a still point..I look around to see the universe, I am floating.... all around me its black with millions of beautiful stars .. I realize God answered me again! I CAN go back down now, so I do, ...I feel myself go through the clouds and coming down to the ground is a completely new experience..... This time I "float" down like Mary Poppins without the umbrella. There is a wonderful feeling of lightness.. As I reach the ground my feet touch and I am saying, "I can fly as high as I want" "I am limitless" I wake up and am saying this out loud... "I can fly,I am limitless!!!!!"

Sacrificial Lamb

Last nights dream... I was in a castle from medieval times, with many people in many rooms, cold and dark feeling. A meeting was taking place in one of the larger rooms. A decision was made by the people in that room, there was a small beautiful boy chosen he had perfect cut short brown hair, beautiful big brown eyes and a lovely smile, about 8 years old. I was chosen with about 6 others to take him to another room. I became aware that he was going to be "sacrificed" or given to someone there to be killed. I was filled with sadness for him, but he came along willing and unknowing........ we walked him down a long,cold dark hallway......a very long walk, with much trepidation and sadness,.... we came to a large room with many older men in it, they told us they were not quite ready for him yet, so we took him with us to wait. then we walked into another very large room with maybe 200 people in it.... they were all eating Dominoes pizza... someone else took the boy with them and I was wondering if they were going to let him have pizza before he died or if they would think they were wasting it on him.....

At first I was very confused by this dream, but it came to me that I have been watching the news the last few nights and have been really upset about how many of our young men are dying in war.. 4000+ and counting since 911. The recent accident in Hawthorne NV( a town less than an hour away) where 7 young men (the oldest only 26) died when a mortar discharged in their hands.. really had me filled with sadness for these families... all the while corporate domination of our country grows and grows.. the boys are dying so the men can get fat.... sickening...

I guess I don't have a picture for this one, maybe I need to work on that..

I welcome any other interpretations of any of my dreams, would love to hear how someone else sees it!

Truths and Lies in Black and White

It was a great weekend, thanks to all of you—I was beading last night with the tv on, there was someone doing a family tree, I wasn’t really paying attention to it, but when I went to sleep I dreamt:  I was building a family tree on the table, made up of black and white beads(I have an order for b/w earrings to fill)  of all different sizes and shapes. One side was made up of the white beads, each one representing an obvious truth about myself. The other side, made up of black beads had multiple branches, each bead representing a lie I believe about myself, the black branches broke off into more tiny branches that were actually real lies, and half truths, and some truths I don’t recognize (think are lies but are truths) these unrecognized truths were in the middle reaching over to the white side. The sizes of bead represented how big the truth or lie was. Holy Shit! What are you guys doing to me!! Love it! Stephy                check out more at www.stephanieroselong.com
