The dreamreport, etc.

Hi, Mermaid and all!

For candlemas (Feb 02 / 2003) I laid down for a nap, a candle positioned above my head. The
little candle was seated in a piece of wood forming a fish.

Title: The One WATER

So I laid down and relaxed with the intention to have a dream of peace.
Somewhen I half sleep in and find myself in the deep ocean. A dolphin is
calling me to follow him. He says there is no need to fear. We are swimming
the same waters, so we are one. But still there is you and me.

I shortly woke and recalled this fragment with the intention to later write
it down.

Later on I find myself examining an object, that looks simultaneous like a
vase and like a snail or nautilus. There is something in the lower, more
narrow, older part of the object. Maybe a very tiny snail. I examine it by
filling maybe a cup of water into the structure, holding it horizontally and
then rotating it, so that the water slowly runs down the turns. I here it
bubbling until it finally reaches the end and now runs onto my feet and the
floor. That is surprising. I awake.

Doze in again and feel one of my teeth has nearly broken out. I'm frightened
awaking and feel that it isn't the case in waking physical life.


Comment:

For the dolphin:

This may relate to the latest discussion here: There is no need to fear to
get drowned or lost in the ocean. We are one, but we're not the same, like
Bono of U2 once worded. That maybe a plain message, but I' glad it is a
dolphin saying it. It is the first time in my life, I dreamed of dolphins,
as far as I remember. He is an intelligent and playful creature living in
the watery (emotional) realm. We have learned so much from them...

The snail / nautilus:

I'm collecting fossils. And I have a small fossil nautilus hanging on a
necklace. When my sweetheart made it my present, I was just reading M. Bache
on reincarnation. He somewhere used  the structure of the ammonite to make
clear the different aspects of living. Seen from outside, the nautius looks
like one (symbolising the one soul, the one higher self, we are), but cut in
half you see all these chambers, symbolising for Bache the different
incarnations.
I wear this ammonite very often in consciousness of this meaning.

So, why does the water flow out the end of the ammonite / nautilus / snail?
Water is the source of life, it is symbolising maybe life itself, the
ammonite is a vase, a real vessel for the water. But is seems, it isn't
meant to contain the water forever. It flows out of the end, which really is
the beginning (the most narrow part). So from the beginning, we are open and
we are water, we are the one WATER, that is flowing into different forms.
Remember that the form (the ammonites shell) is taken from, made up from the
water's salt. So this is water flowing in water, that is seemingly what we
are.

And maybe that can be a dream bridge in a deeper sense: We don't need a
bridge, because we are the water itself.

And isn't that a peaceful thought and symbol for peace, that we all share
the one water, that we are of one water? It is still the flood of the
primary ocean flowing in all creatures veins and in every cell.

The mandala: 

I painted and collected that after the dream and we, my spouse and my son, too, did talk about it.

 So, we all share the same water, Saddam Hussein, George Bush, Ralf and the dolphin.

We all are responsible to keep that water clean.

That is a peaceful symbol, I think. And I tried to make everyone smile, tried to find friendly pictures.

I hope everything will turn out well and I hope we don't need no more war.

I will try and send maybe a picture to your peacetrain, Mermaid.

CU then

 

            Yours Ralf
