If it were my dream, I would think that the island was realization that we stand on our own. The young woman and child would be me when I was younger. That I was admiring them would be admitting that they were good parts of my past that have integrated into the person I am today. Them becoming a rock signifies my understanding that the good parts of our past come together to forever be part of what we are today. That would be why I was so energized when I woke up.

If it were my dream, I would be in agony over losing my beloved dog. I had a dog when I was growing up. I had to beg for years to get the dog. I lived for years without another dog as I always lived in apartments that didn't allow them. Since then I have had three wonderful dogs. So, going to the vet office would be a time of fear because dogs go there when they are sick or, sometimes, dying. I would be reliving what happened to my dogs and also be looking at the grief I would have again if I got another dog. The poop is what we have to go through in having a dog. There is the care of the dog. The vet bills. The housebreaking. Cleaning up the yard. Walking the dog. Doing things for a dog when we get home at night and just want to rest. The people wanting to give me four or five new dogs would be my wish to have another dog because there are so many dogs that need good owners. The dream tells me that I would love to have another dog, but the probability of losing the dog and all the care that goes with it is something to make me hesitate.

If it were my dream, and I was about to make a move to an island, the woman and child would be one and the same person. The woman would represent a goddess, a spirit of the island, This would be an extreme archetypal dream where I knew that this dream was not of me, in that the woman goddess was a divine messenger who has come to others before me...she is of this island, part of it, she embodies the rock from which I would like to be. I want to be like her, both wise and young...I want to keep my wisdom but have the strength and energy of a young girl, just coming into her Self. The young girl would also represent the newness of the experience that I am about to have, she is a metaphor for my experience to come; she is me in spirit. Because she became part of the same rock as the woman, I would also read this as me becoming close to the child that I will care for, there on the island. We will both become like one...she needs me as much as I need her to be the rock that is needed to ground me to this place. The grounded part is important...do I feel grounded where I am now or will I feel more grounded if I move to this island.

This goddess of the rock, like Madonna of the rocks, she is telling me something-she is showing me that she is within the ground, part of the Earth, something lasting and hard, as in solid or of matter. Rocks are special to me, I have been carving lately and working animals out of stone. This woman/child/goddess/spirit becomes a rock; this dream becomes a solid truth for me that Spirit is in all things. Rock calls to be carved; the carvings are sacred to me and this dream is telling me that the carvings I am doing are special...they contain mana and can be used in ceremony-they have Divine meaning and matter within them. The Goddess - my Earth Mother, the Great Mother, she IS. Better yet, She IS here in this island and I will find her; I will find both wisdom and youthful spirit. This is a sign that my move will be auspicious and also to keep up my carvings.

I dreamt that I was on an island and I wanted to know if I should be there. A beautiful adult woman and a young (12yrs) child stood in front of me. I walked toward them and as they stood together the ground came up and slowly they became a huge rock. When I had awaken I felt like I belonged to that island or that I was a part, I also had good energy after the dream.

If It were my dream,( of course I'd ask the question what did the tatoo look like) I would think that if I could have taken my dog to my doctor he would have been better off. Did the dog have stomach problems. To me a dog represents loyalty. The poop , well we all walk in poop, and its all around us but unlike a dog we sometimes let it bother us, but it doesn't bother the dog, (its just part of life).

I don't want a dog right now but deep inside I miss the loyalty of a dog, but do I want to deal with picking up poop, there is enough poop in my life already. Jeanne B.7/03/07

on saturday nite following the keifer dream-(wish he would visit more often) i dreamed of an abandoned dog. but the dog has a tatoo on his belly.

the dog is at the medical clinic where i have been going for 7 years(i like my doctor)

no one seems to notice this dog or the poop that seems to be everywhere. the nurses and the doctors are literally sliding down in it.

all i can think is how weird that they dont notice the poop or dog. i try to find the owner,and when i do they want to reward me with 4 or 5 more dogs. they are all really cute dogs...and some have novelty yarn as fur.

but in real life my dog died a month ago and it is not my intention to have another pet at this time.

i am also thinking of all the poop!

i can't waite to hear what this one is about...;]

i was not sure how to go about letting tina and the others thank you-it is unlike anyting i have ever felt-having someone look at my dreams. but when tina said she saw eagles in her minds eye...well wow!!

i guess it was yesterday that i recalled that i had had a dream a bout 15 years ago from THE grandmother- or medicine woman/ elder- she told me i my name was little golden feather daughter of golden eagle.

it took a while to connect those but obviously they seem linked-amazing!

Adding onto Tina's interpretation:

Loved your interpretation, the tides and flooding...also the cult family issues...yes totally for me if it were my dream! How society sees family as absolute, as if we were sinning or a crime against nature if we reject our parents. Thank you for adding to the circle, it means soo much to me and you have such amazing insight, truly!

Gold to me is untarnished, unchanging, maleable but never looses it's properties or it's value. It is also the color of the 8th chakra I believe? The gold color is used in many healing modalities as a meditation for Divine light...meditating on gold healing energy to come into your crown chakra and cleanse. So the cleansing goes both with the water as well as the color. Gold is also royalty, worth...the color of the gods but also has caused great grief and destruction with the search and mining... Searching or mining for understanding of family ties and emotions IS a worthy cause but it can also bring flooding, emotion, turmoil, pain, ect. Having Keifer there as a guide who is both strong, courageous and amazingly beautiful in every way is perfect-just what I need!

Ok, there are a ton of thoughts flooding my mind, so I will try to get them all out without forgetting anything deemed important! Well, if it were my dream, i would look at the water as being a cleansing phase for my family issues. It is a tide, which has to do with the phases of the moon. This is something that happens without our control, everyday. It isnt rough waves crashing on the shore, but more of a soft rise, that may almost go unnoticed until it is there. As for the flooding, well i think that maybe thoughts have done just that, started to flood, kind of without me even realizing it. THen all of a sudden, the house (or my brain, or heart-as the house can symbolize my body)is flooded. That place that I always thought of as being somewhere i wanted to be, is now a nuciance, a problem, and I need to take care of it. It is "flooding" my thoughts, and then there is a person there, who has always been known to help, but seems unaffected by the flooding. Almost unaware of it, and continues trying to figure out my history. As for the cult and religious part of the dream, for me, it would be more reflective of society and how we see family (maybe). Like maybe the way my family dynamics are or are thought to be, they were not the norm that one would expect. I think that the color gold has a huge bearing on it, but I do not know what the colr gold can symbolize. Maybe Jennifer can shed some light. But as I write this, I keep having visions of eagles in my minds eye...is that strange?? hope this helps. tina

the boy who is shivering and afraid would represent for me apart of myself that i have somehow disowned or diempowered.(spl)

this part distracts from what is being achieved by the more powerful self. the self that has not forgotten.
