Identify thyself!<BR/><BR/>Yes, I too like the Jungian view that all in the dream is the dreamer. Mostly. Though of course that doesn't leave room for Visitations, as when my Nonie comes to see me. But that's beside the point.<BR/><BR/>And also yes to what you say about the dream trying to tell me something -- thus the title of the post. I'm just trying to figure out exactly <I>what</I> that something is. I have a 5year+ history with Metal Ox, and plenty of observation of the ways in which he is distant and manipulative, yes. But why is he God, for sure? The feeling that I have in the dream is very much like have if waking life when he doesn't answer my phone calls, or won't come when I need him. I feel abandoned and hurt. The astronaut, to me, is just the ultimate manifestation (besides death, I guess) of the distant he needs to create between us, his unavailablility. That part is easy for me to see. But there is something else I am not getting, clearly, or the dream would go away. I'm after the part I'm not getting.Margaret Howardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16675619613726221764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16061398.post-51740908152119752007-11-06T13:51:00.000-06:002007-11-06T13:51:00.000-06:00Thanks, dear.

But the dream is some aspect of them that we see in ourselves.<BR/><BR/>I believe everything in a dream is the dreamer. For instance, if I dream that my car won't start. I say to myself, I am a car that won't start. How does that make me feel? How do I feel in the dream? Dreams are first and foremost about emotions. Pay close attention to what you are feeling in your dream. <BR/><BR/>Frustration, anger, love. This is the real message of the dream. In my car example. I say, "I am a car that won't start. I am frustrated. I want to go somewhere and I can't go."<BR/><BR/>Then I ask myself, is there some part of my life that's like this? Am I feeling stuck? Am I frustrated? Am I feeling like my life is going nowhere?<BR/><BR/>In your dream, Frank could be playing the god part because there may be some part of you that thinks he believes he's god or that he acts like god. Or the dream may be saying, "he's not god, don't give him so much power." The Frank in your dream is not the real Frank. The Frank in your dream is the Frank you <I>think</I> Frank is (I hope this makes sense).<BR/><BR/>The fact that this dream keeps recurring is a definite sign that this is something that you need to deal with. Once you learn from it the dream will change or stop occurring.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16061398.post-20923232594196560562007-10-17T14:28:00.000-05:002007-10-17T14:28:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Margaret Howardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16675619613726221764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16061398.post-72680447719243818552007-10-11T23:25:00.000-05:002007-10-11T23:25:00.000-05:00The dream about the astronaut is not about a perso...The dream about the astronaut is not about a person. The dream means you are trying to connect with your spirituality and it's not working. You are frustrated. You feel like everyone else is getting through to God but you. You know for certain He is ignoring you and you are angry. The more you try to force it, the worse it gets. The dream is telling you to relax, don't force it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16061398.post-59077480208141743602007-09-05T10:06:00.000-05:002007-09-05T10:06:00.000-05:00Yes, I will!

And is in the top rankings of potential other times of day meals, as well. Nice going, first try. There is a joint in Carbonale that makes the EB with avocado, which I think goes very superbly with the hollandaise. And, sad to say, I would start every day of my life with a mimosa if they wouldn't fire me at my, u-hum, aviation day job. It's only one of the five million reasons I'd rather be working at Sauce. Maybe one day they'll get wise and hire me! Here's wishing (said with my water glass in my hand, pretending it's a mimosa (or kir royale, my other current favorite). <BR/><BR/>BTW-- to get me to brunch?

Served with sweet wasabi soy broth), & I think the "Rasta Roll" which had tuna (and maybe crab) with mango and jalapeƱo.<BR/><BR/>I haven't been to I Love Mr. Sushi, but I've heard it's good. I'll have to try that soon!<BR/><BR/>By the way, I've been cooking up a storm the last few days. And I have to admit that I am really proud of myself. You'll have to venture over the river some weekend soon for brunch at my house. I'll make you some eggs benedict, which I mastered with one try, and mimosas.
