In the last blog I talked about the revelation about my father and the violence that was around my growing up. I was dreaming very vividly every night and sometimes it was disturbing that I couldn’t understand what the dream was trying to tell me. I dreamed the same dream my first night at Dillon.
When I first got there, I looked out the window and saw a stump down on the beach. My initial thought was that it was a giant cork, and it was ready to be allowed to POP. When I went down the next morning to look at it, my impression was when it popped it would release a lot of joy and knowledge that the earth and the ocean was holding inside. I went out and sat on that stump for over an hour and mediated.
Walking back up the canyon I noticed that there was a large trunk that had washed up to the high-water line in the canyon. I’d been looking at what I saw was a substantial box ; 8 feet long, 6 feet wide, and 6 feet high. I stayed deep in thought on the trunk (or was it was a pirate’s chest?) along with the “cork”. As I meditated on it the next morning, I had the thought that my allies could reside in that trunk. As I climbed back up the canyon is found myself filled with clarity that my allies were there when I needed them.
While I was working with Ophilia in dream sessions, she would always help me establish an “anchor point” as a place to start learning what the dream had to say to me. After our regular sessions ended, we started on a once-a-month schedule. I had a dream where Dream Richard was walking down a path and discovered a giant circle of standing stones. When I had this dream before, I would always awaken, and I was never permitted to enter the circle. I felt that there was great knowledge within the circle, and I wanted to understand it. I brought it up to Ophilia here are her notes:
Greetings Richard,
Here are the notes from today’s session. Feb 3 2025
In Dream Richard standing in the stone circle. Tall, upright, protected. A sense of electricity in the back, shoulders, legs, feet – “being plugged in” to the earth,” “assurance,” “it’s safe.” Then, on Dream Richard’s feet, standing in water, green, flowing seaweed, peace and healing, holding them together: A thought about the interdimensional mind.
My dreams were starting to organize around my taking control and being strong to eliminate the old Richard. The new Richard was stronger and ready to discover what was next, I was finding myself filled with awe and wonder at the immense changes that were happening to me, and how I was able to bring these revelations to my life. Maybe I was growing up. It takes courage.
