Fast and furious is right. I'm pretty much a loose cannon at the moment, too, so lying down would be good -- or just <em>sitting</em> and doing nothing -- but I still feel too much like making trouble, so no resting yet. All is well, however! Hi Rebecca, and thanks for your concern. Fast and furious is right.

If it's possible, I send healing energy your way. It's a rough path but so worth it. Hang in there, it's flying fast and furious which can be overwhelming. Sometimes you need to lie down.

And that's straight out of the alchemical tradition. This is an alchemical dream. See <a href="http://www.annebaring.com/anbar08_seminarl1.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.annebaring.com/anbar08_seminarl1.htm</a>. This article by a Jungian analyst also makes the case for the world changing through <em>individual</em> evolution, always a consolation. As for missing souls, or pieces thereof, I agree again. It's all in the dynamic of expressing these things: instead of something being left out, one could say the awareness of it was blocked. Same difference, as we used to say in West Texas. I'm also going to post the dream that followed this one. It's like they're all the same dream, and the last part needs to be attached. Yes, the only person who heals us, is us, exactly.

They are all our very own powerful tool for healing and resolution - mental, emotional or physical. All amazing. I also believe that the only person who heals us, is us...."Healers" (be it MD, shaman or priest, psychotherapist, whomever-) may be able to guide and aid but without your cooperation, without your willingness to be completely open and vulnerable, they can't heal shit. And I don't believe your soul can ever be missing, just hiding it from yourself. My humble opinion. That said, to be lucidly dreaming, which it seems you were, to enter the dream on another consciousness and change the dream...is so cool, I LOVE it when that happens. I'm just sayin'. John

That said, reading over it, I still vacillate between terrible embarassment and the thrill of the art. An art that's true. The funny thing is, if I say I had a dream that gave me a winning Lotto number, people wouldn't hesitate to believe. They'd just take it at face value and feel like crap because they didn't win. But if I say I had a dream that helped me find a missing piece of my soul -- for example :-) -- I figure there will be some resistance. But wouldn't the latter be a better prize? How could I operate heavy machinery, much less manage my Lotto winnings, with a piece of my freaking <em>soul</em> missing?!? I'm just sayin'. I call ‘em as I see ‘em, and every word of this is true.
