when all else fails, float

Morning’s blue light moments touch my soul. It’s magical. And it’s in those few moments that I collect my surroundings & wish with every fiber I could hear that stream of music once again, swirl in the stars above.

I dream.

And for whatever it’s worth, it’s worth that escape. Floating down a stream, laid back & at peace. I was being led by three dolphins – jumping once in unison – a well orchestrated sign. For a moment, I panic. Knowing they are what they are, the surfaced fins still look shark-like. I throw my feet above my body, soon lowering slowly, waking back into the cool stream.

There’s a bend ahead. A tunnel to pass through. Light dims but I’m still not afraid. Though my raft is half sunk, they’re taking me somewhere & that comforts me. Fins lower in the smooth water. The waterfall draws near. Slowly I turn, outstretched to the night sky & smiling. I’m going over. I’m about to fall.

Looking up, I see the most gorgeous display of stars. Constellations abound. As I’m falling so the pointed lights drift farther away. Music swirls through my existence. My heart overflows. I feel my body splash down but wake not a moment later.

When I have such sweet melodies soar, I so regret not being able to capture them & bring to existence. Ah well. I’ll have to wait once again for that pleasure. Sooo, when I have these insights, I can’t help but look up meanings on my trusty online dream dictionary. Here’s what I found:

To see a dolphin in your dream, symbolizes spiritual guidance, your intellect, mental attributes and emotional trust. Utilize your mind to its capacity and you will move upward in life. Alternatively, it suggests that a line of communication has been established between the conscious and unconscious aspects of yourself. Dolphins represent your willingness and ability to explore and navigate through your emotions.

Three signifies life, vitality, inner strength, completion, imagination, creativity, energy, and self-exploration. Three stands for trilogy as in the past, present, and future or father, mother, and child, etc

To see a waterfall in your dream, is symbolic of letting go.  You are releasing all those pent up emotions and negative feelings. The dream may also represent your goals and desires. In particular, if the waterfall is clear, then it represents revitalization, regeneration and renewal.

To dream that you are at the bottom of the waterfall, suggests that you are feeling emotionally overwhelmed. You are experiencing difficulties in coping with your feelings.

To see a tunnel in your dream, represents the vagina, womb, and birth. Thus it may refer to a need for security and nurturance.

To dream that you are going through a tunnel, suggests that you are exploring aspects of your unconscious. You are opening yourself to a brand new awareness. Alternatively, it indicates your limited perspective.

To dream that you are floating on a raft, suggests that you are drifting through life, not knowing where you are headed. You are confused about your purpose and direction in life.

To dream that you or something is sinking, suggests that you are feeling overwhelmed and that someone or something is pulling your down. You may be experiencing lowered self-esteem and confidence. Alternatively, some important and significant stage in your life may be coming to an end. Consider what is sinking and its significance.

To dream that you are walking or moving backward, signifies that what you are doing may be counter-productive. What you are seeking in life appears to be moving away from you. Thus you may be feeling a sense of failure or believe that you are unable to achieve your goals and aspirations. On the other hand, moving backward in your dream may symbolize that you should back off or retreat in a situation you may be facing in your waking life.

Amazing.
