An Awakening

Dreams in Ireland are interesting. I either never dream or dream and then wake up and not remember what I dreamed. Last night I dreamed of a family reunion where I was busy prepping and being a hostess. I glanced in front of me and there was Pa. Pa was standing there with two other women and they had coats on. He was telling them about something on the book shelf. I remember thinking, "That is Pa!" and I smiled at him. They all three looked at me and as someone walked in front of them he gave me a little wink and they all three vanished. The dream went on to a huge war'ing sea with these long canoes - one red and one blue - battling. They both sank. Then in a cartoon kind of way there were Native Americans with huge heads and crossed arms making there way over this sea. The weird part was the whole water way was slightly raised like it was a really LONG but small water fall. I love how dream mechanics work.

Then I went to this house where I was helping to protect this child and I had a key to it. In the back yard someone had dug out all the grass and drawn hieroglyphs and swirls in the mud. Stick figured were drawn in and as I opened the gates people flooded in to see the area, almost like they were drawn to it. Some lady had been digging for a key to get into the house and I had one. She stood by me saying oh thank you for finding the key!! She had no reason to be there and certainly should not have been allowed in. Once in people followed me kind of pushing there way in and I was trying to protect this kid. I took myself and the child behind this partition and tried locking the door behind me. They caught me doing it and started shoving a knife through the opening by the lock. It poked me in the leg and I felt it. WEIRD! Then I woke up...

I told Patrick about seeing Pa in my dream and I began to cry. It was the real part of my dream where I knew it was real and I was truly awake in another place and time. One of the most interesting things is last night the mist came in off the ocean and it was warm and peaceful!!

I have begun to wonder what I want to do with all this I am learning. Where am I taking all this knowledge? What do I want to be when I grow up? I know I want to teach but what should I teach? Music, art, folklore, history, spirituality... I have no clue... I am really hoping the Universe will give me a huge hint as to where I should go...

I have really been drawn to the Last Unicorn lately. I love that movie anyway but there is a part where she says, "Who am I? What am I doing here? I thought I knew a moment ago... But I cannot remember..." I really feel like that at this moment. Now that I am living my dream, where do I go from here??
