again,  needed to photograph under the sewing lamp light…so overcast OutSide,  and you really can't see that i tried to adjust the skin color on the dream figure,  added some Willow,  the Inktense pencils,  and it was a good beginning,  but more is needed.

Everything is stitched in place except for that 3rd top piece…What exactly IS it?  What wants to be there?  Waiting to find out.

and it was plain to see today that this isn't about my present dreaming,  but almost some kind of

Asking

for what i would like the dreamtime to be…   

My dreams are so intense and constant.  It's like i don't sleep,  but go to that Other place and live a life there,  no less than the one during waking.  It's intense.  Action packed.  Sensory. Vivid.  I have long conversations,  we do and make many things,  there is sound, smell, color,  sensation.  Well,  like another Life entirely.  But it's often uhhh, dumb.  One example that comes to mind is maybe a week or so ago,  there were many women…like say 12,  and we were creating clothing,  just putting pieces of things together in many ways,  all manner of fanciful things, really,  and then all of a sudden,  that was over and we had to push everything to the side of the place we were in,  which was kind of the size of a football field but inside,  and what was next was bicycles and everyone was given a bicycle repair kit.

so you see what i mean?  WHY?  and almost always interspersed in these kinds of things,  there are children or babies to care for.  It's Crazy.  and i have a lot of Sex dreams which are kind of nice,  but ????????????????????

so.   What is it i'm doing here making this Cloth….?????   don't know,  but today i thought it's kind of an Asking.  Can it be different?

Nanette linked me to a sustainable farm blog,  https://the kitchensgarden.com   Cecilia Mary Gunther who farms somewhere in Illinois.  She posts every day.   I read her every morning on rising.  She has Zillions of readers,  literally.  Her post today was 12 tips for new bloggers.  Most of which were easy,  but then we got to the one about …..happy.  Be positive she says.  Enough hammers on our heads.  Engage,  Chat,  Smile.  Which brings me to i think the comment to Acey about being Serious,  ….. I am.  I am serious.  I am often Happy.  Sometimes even Joyous.  I more than anything LOVE many many things.  But i am not much for chatting in some engaging way.  I just rattle on.

    I like honesty. Some days are more full of troubles or sadness or whatever it may be than other days. I appreciate a postive attitude but reading someone’s blog where every day rates a big smiley face begins to feel a little manipulated to me. I’m glad you share with an open heart.

    Dreams can be the craziest things … for me the more I have on my mind the more I dream. Maybe all the craziness in your dreams isn’t so crazy after all when you think of all the TOTAL craziness we are seeing and hearing about everyday. Day or night …. things are just really CRAZY right now!

    I read that bit where Celi said ” no musings or ponderings’ and disagreed…that’s what I enjoy about your blog and a couple of others of your ilk…handstories and jude etc, it gives light and shade and that’s what our days are about. You always sound upbeat though, thoughtful yes, but not miserable.
    love your rattling on, wish I could “rattle” a little more on my blog 🙂

    I think we form the community we need, either in our dreams or on our blogs. I’ve never been very good at remembering dreams, have always been a very deep sleeper. Over the last year that has changed; I can’t tell you my dreams once I wake up but I remember dreaming.

    There are days when we can be creative, then something comes up and we have to fix the bicycle, take care of the babies and goats..
    Also, people who talk about always being in the moment think it’s always going to be blissful. Meanwhile the moment can be really horrible. Being present in the bad times as well as the happy ones and coping is dealing with things exactly as they are. What else can you do? It’s real life.

    well something i have just learned is that i have way too many thoughts/opinions/ideas about the topics of dreamtime and ‘blogging by the numbers’! Have sat here typing and deleting things for a good fifteen minutes. Pretty sure none of it actually matters or adds anything vital to the conversation.
    but i did want to remark that when i said to you at that other post that you would be “with” the people who are traveling with that essence – i didn’t mean to imply an expectation of Joy being part of it. i’m really sorry if it came across like that to you. My intended point was aimed at the way a particular group of flower remedies had been co-engineered, for lack of a better way to put it, to link the souls of people, animals, plants and places that gave the remedy a place of meaning in their lives and hearts.
    Was trying to say that even if you didn’t have the opportunity to travel to/with a group standing tall together, you were still included at that glorious 11th dimension level. Was meant to comfort not to be any kind of attitude police.

    the Moment As Is. it’s Always just that. and really, it’s
    Fine. not blissful but Fine. That we receive whatever it is
    and go forward. For me, there are enough moments of elegance
    and love.

    i think a large part of it for me is having an excess of
    sleep time. I think i can say, i am never really TIRED…
    like whole body tired. I wake and sleep now at whim. it’s
    different when there is daily work like you have.
    I dreamed the same then, when i had that, but also was
    physically tired enough so it wasn’t so Vivid.

    yes. in my earlier years this kind of thing worked. But now,
    well….
    i am going to try to be aware of some over reaching threads…
    see if that makes a difference in how i feel about the way
    it is now.
    but really, i think i’ll just give in to them as they are
    and be glad my day life is different

    yes…i am never miserable or really, SAD even. Like deep
    SAD. Certain things are sad things, but always there is
    the reality that it what is happening now and i am born FOR
    it…either personal or universally.
    am thinking tho that i might try to be a little more specific
    about things instead of the stream of conscious rattling…
    we’ll see.

    I rarely remember my dreams, but like it when I do and love to hear about other peoples – the strangeness of that world.
    Also love the idea of meeting whatever comes in our waking times with Curiosity, I suppose that’s maybe about not being emotionally controlled by whatever it is but being prepared to go where it takes you. Whether or not it’s a joyful place.
    I was wondering about the Magician and if you often use turpentine and does it make the cloth smell or does it evaporate? Then I thought about SPIRIT of turpentine and found this description – ‘a source of materials for organic synthesis’ – Like the idea of synthesis. Maybe I’m rambling…..

    the dream world…it IS. it is very strange.
    the joyfull places are joyfull but it’s the other places that
    stretch me and pull me to go in a deeper way
    i am wondering about the Magician too. What IS this entity?
    Why did she show up here and Who does she want to be for me
    …and maybe her….as it all goes? Curiosity, again….
    turpentine.
    that goes WAY BACK to my time of learning drawing with Kay Gould Caskey (who reads this blog now)….WAY back
    how you can bleed ink and graphite with turpentine
    colored pencil too
    there’s this stuff called turpenoid natural has less SMELL
    but the turpentine odor, fragrance, leaves after a point
    i like the raw turpentine
    Yes. very much YES. synthesis.
    Rambling…it’s how we get places that are as yet Unknown
    Ramble On!

    I have been having more vivid dreams lately. Don’t know why, but it seems to come in waves. I used to sleep so deeply that I wouldn’t remember anything, but I am more relaxed now and have more time to sleep, so I think I am a little more aware. I don’t know!
