Late last week I had an odd dream.
I was working on the house, and needed some special power adapters. So I went up to an attic room with my daughter, went into the closet, and closed the door behind us. Then I took out a special key from my pocket, turned it in the lock, and reopened the door. I walked out into the same room but in a different version of reality; the house looked abandoned and heaped with trash.
I know that this reality was dangerous or unstable, and that I could not stay long. I went over to a large tool chest in the corner, rummaged in it for a minute, and found just the adapters I needed. I looked around, and my daughter had wandered over to a bathroom and was looking in the tub that had brackish water standing in it; she was about to put her foot in it when I called to her and reminded her not to mess with anything here. We went back into the closet, turned the key again, and emerged back in my real house.
I awoke thinking that this dream meant something. What did it mean, I asked myself? I immediately knew that it meant that I needed something to tap into the power I need, and that the tool for adapting the power for my service was on the other side; and that I had the keys to find it with me right now. The keys lay in the shamanic work I was doing.

Dream resolutions
New Years resolutions seem so trite in the real world. Instead, here are my New Years resolutions for my dreams:
After building the perfect city (golden stucco, red tile roofs, balconies and merchants wagons hung with multicolored lanterns and bougainvilleas…) go on a long trip and let the people redecorate.
When escaping the nameless horror to the protection of the sacred circle, invite everyone you see, not just the nice kids with the puppy. Bad guys won't be able to cross the running water anyway, and the obnoxious guy at the minimart has secret strengths too.
Read the signs. They will be important later.
Greet every being you meet with respect. A kind word to the worm may gain you the protection of the mountain.
When being chased through a high-rise office building, don't bother looking for the stairs. Find a window and fly away.
Don't boast of your powers, they are gifts that can be revoked.
Always tell Hercule Poirot everything. Same with Dr Who.

Dream
After my long treatment of energy work and intuitive healing, the therapist said to pay attention to my dreams for the next few days, they may be significant. Two days later I had this dream.
I was living in a house with several people, adults and children (I was not myself, nor were any of the people real people). We were going about our normal lives, work and school. But there was someone trying to harm us; we never saw him directly, but he sent his minions occasionally to break into our house and break or steal things, or to threaten us. This was really a minor annoyance; we just sidestepped them or cleaned up after them. There was nothing he could do that would really hurt us. At one point he tried to kidnap my young daughter, but they let her go as soon as I insisted, and she was not ever fazed by the experience. I could sense our enemy becoming more and more frustrated and frantic with the desire to hurt us.
Finally our enemy broke into the house himself during a party, for what he expected to be the final confrontation with me. But when we saw each other, we immediately recognized each other as previously unknown brothers, separated since birth. He came to me and we embraced. We agreed to try and work together and help each other. We both knew this would be difficult at times; he has a large load of resentment about his life, and was full of anger and loneliness. I on the other hand was full of pride and self-satisfaction. We knew we would have to learn from each other.

Athena and I talked over this dream the next day. I am not entirely sure what it represents, but Athena suggests that it is about my rational, skeptical mind fighting my intuitive, healing spirit. She points out all the times that I don’t use Reiki, when it would be natural to do so; that I don’t seem to think of it until she suggests it. There is a part of me that doesn’t want to believe in my gifts, that wants me to be ‘normal’ and appear ordinary.
