I am with a woman and her young son. We are a good match, and our connection feels deeply right. We know it’s us, we’ll be together.
We have a good invention, one that’s innovative, practical, and there is a market for, but we lack start-up money to get it developed and into production. They will talk with someone connected with me about receiving the money.
WAKING LIFE
This dream has two aspects.
One is the woman and her son and the knowing that we are a very good match for each other. It’s going to be us.
In waking life, that has come up since I just returned to Norway and was reminded of my first serious relationship that was like that. I had an instant family, it felt deeply right, and I left it because I felt too young, wanted to explore the world and study abroad, and thought it would be easy to find something like that again. (It wasn’t at all.)
The other is the innovation, lacking money, and asking someone connected with me for the necessary money. I don’t know what the invention was, but it does resonate with the food forest and regeneration project in the Andes. In our society, it is a kind of innovation (although it’s also ancient), and we need money to continue to develop the food forest and regenerate the land.
ALL IN ME
What does it reflect in me? If all parts of the dream represent me, which they inevitably do as the whole world does, what do they represent in me?
The inner family is something I have intentionally explored since my teens, and the woman and son and the healthy family is something I have in me. Maybe I am connecting with it more now.
The invention and the money is something that’s a little further from the surface. When I connect with it, I find… a lot of things I would like to create and bring into the world, in terms of the food forest and projects there, in terms of writing, and in terms of art – drawings, paintings, photography.
I also find a sense of lack of resources. Because of my health situation, I don’t have nearly as much energy as I would like to do all of this. (I also know that I still do what I can, and bring what I can into the world.)
Another resource I lack is the confidence to bring it into the world. A part of me says it’s all obvious, superficial, and others do it better. That is true, in a certain way, although it’s still valuable to share. I find the sharing from ordinary people often very valuable and interesting, so others may experience it that way too.
Of course, what’s behind it is fear, and what’s behind that are wounds and traauma. A party of me wants to protect me from what similar experiences to what happened early in life when I was visible and shared what was important to me.
It’s interesting that in the dream, there is someone we can ask for those resources, and the woman and boy are doing it. In the dream, I have a sense that it will or may work. I have a part of me that can help me in this, that can provide me with resources.
The image is by me and Midjourney. I made it before writing this, and before looking at my notes from last night, from when I woke up after the dream. I remembered it as a girl, but my notes say it’s a boy, which is why there is a girl in the image and not a boy.
