This is a Big Dream for me, there is a big message here, huge symbols wrapped around symbols. I am being given a
message here and I cannot leave this place. So many ancient old references here: the pond, a place where water is stagnant
or not moving, a place where ancient organisms can grow and grow, like the primordial sea, a place where life begins.
The fish with the sharp teeth, reminds me of the prehistoric fish, huge, predators-but the fish is also an ancient paleolithic
symbol of the divine-even borrowed by Christianity as the symbol for Christ. These fish, divine, predators, carry defence
mechanisms, like a part of myself within this pond that is being protected by a huge huge snake. This particular snake,
the way it lays, it's position is in the form of the ourboros...the snake or dragon symbol wrapped around itself, eating it's
own tail. Infinity, healing, regeneration, life and death cycle. This is collective, this symbol. I am standing
at a place where the symbol of the ancient Divine being, wrapped upon itself, is guarding the contents of my Soul, this teething
(teeth, like the fish) place of life and death, of predator fish waiting to eat what will enter. I am not a part of
this circle, I fear it somehow. I see it, I know that it contains serious threats but yet the symbols are divine, and
also a metaphor of evolution and time....I stand to witness this ancient place, this is a place within myself and it contains
all the answers but it is dangerous. Can I go into these waters yet? I feel like it is stagnant but contains potential
for evolving into something....The middle of the snake, I see it and it is a strong image: Like something growing inside of
this snake, something that has been digested...a thought, a past event, something being held in the middle, swollen, like
a swollen belly full of babies...birthing something or the thought or idea that could be birthed....a swollen idea or thought,
a dream perhaps. This Snake holds serious healing energy, it has the power to bring forth change, regeneration, shedding
of skin, it is also an ancient symbol for the divine Goddess or the goddess societies (Minoan for example, the snake goddess
found on Crete). Alchemy. The transformation of the soul. This pond holds serious energy for me, potential
for growth but stagnant. I feel like there needs to be more flow, a flow of energy is needed. Like I am at a place
where I see symbols of my own soul stuck in the muck of trying to change or evolve. But the symbols that have shown
themselves are powerful indeed. There is serious potential. I am not allowed to leave this pond and I feel like
there is something I need to digest.
I am a pond, my purpose is to hold water in one place for plant and animal
life to grow: my purpose is to help things thrive and grow-I hold the essential ingredients for growth.
My goal, as
a pond: to provide safe haven for many different organisms, a support system for many different "things" (ideas,
thoughts, past....)
As a pond, I love: having water added regularly, to be cleaned out and cleared out for more room
to grow and clearer waters. A good pond has flow, refuge for fish and other life forms, aeration...life support.
As a pond, I fear stagnation, being or feeling murky, not being able to move (think) clearly. I fear my waters will
be too low to promote life or too condensed or concentrated....
You can also become the snake and fish and ask
yourself the 6 magic questions. I only tackled 4 above and sometimes it only takes a couple in order to understand how
they connect. I have this on my website....(I am a ___, my purpose/goal/I fear/I hate/I love/I desire)
