I would also have to tell my dreammaker to please try again because I didn't quite get the whole point. I would feel validated because I'd think, okay, I've looked into the churning of my primordial depths and I've seen something emerge. It was scary at first but I stuck with it and watched it grow - perhaps through the natural life cycle of insights. It is striking to me that the thing was about the same age as my parents. My parents are sort of in the background of this dream. Could it be that I'm learning to deal with a family "ghost"? And then the big revelation is about how normal procedures are just the ticket. Like the wisdom I need is not hidden or esoteric which I so like to imagine it is. The challenging part is the shiny bottom I see in the ocean. To me that is like the roof of the next level. A reminder that there is yet more in the depths. Also the various waves of fear and awkwardness suggest to me that I still have work to do but again all I need to do is just use the most "pedestrian" means and I'll be okay.

Or are they just a random assortment of images and sensations? Anything going on in waking life that corresponds to jaywalking ghosts? Soooo… are you the type that believe dreams have meaning?
