” Such fantastic images give us great delight, and , since they are created by us, they undoubtedly have a symbolic relation to our lives and destinies”
Goethe
“It is the function of creative men and women to perceive the relations between thoughts, or things , or forms of expression that may seem utterly different,and to be able to combine them into some new forms- the power to connect the seemingly unconnected.
William Plomer
It seems we forget or are never consciously aware of most of our dreams. However some dreams stay with us vividly. Unravelling the significance of a dream in relation to its content and how it relates to concerns in life can be valuable .
In Oct 03 I was having a lot of vivid dreams. One I remember clearly.
Small bees flying into my ears. I was fighting to prevent them going back in. I eventually managed to plug my ears. But the right ear kept filling up, I had to pull out a large bee. I could not get it out whole , it left its sting.
My interpretation at the time taking into consideration what was happening in my life :
People and events leaving their mark (listening to people). Although things in the beginning may not have been harmful they grew inside (stored emotion) and I battled to remove them from inside. Things have been left inside that hurt (large bee sting). The constant battle not to be hurt and the fear that that is what is going to happen. When I feel I have done all I can do to block out the possibility of being stung, the realization that it is coming from inside.

This is a poem sent to me via group email from Carolyn. It reminds me of a story someone told me of a woman warrior being taught battle skills by an expert. The warrior was surprised that every time she approached the expert, he moved! She had to learn the skill of moving toward him and with him … He is leading and she is learning to be in tune. Where I would part company with the unknown writer of this poem, is that there is definitely a cost involved in following God’s dance steps. What do you think?
When I meditated on the word Guidance,
I kept seeing “dance” at the end of the word.
I remember reading that doing God’s will is a lot like dancing.
When two people try to lead, nothing feels right.
The movement doesn’t flow with the music,
and everything is quite uncomfortable and jerky.
When one person realizes that, and lets the other lead,
both bodies begin to flow with the music.
One gives gentle cues, perhaps with a nudge to the back
or by pressing Lightly in one direction or another.
It’s as if two become one body, moving beautifully.
The dance takes surrender, willingness,
and attentiveness from one person
and gentle guidance and skill from the other.
My eyes drew back to the word Guidance.
When I saw “G”: I thought of God, followed by “u” and “i”.
“God, “u” and “i” dance.”
God, you, and I dance.
As I lowered my head, I became willing to trust
that I would get guidance about my life.
Once again, I became willing to let God lead.
My prayer for you today is that God’s blessings
and mercies are upon you on this day and everyday.
May you abide in God, as God abides in you.
Dance together with God, trusting God to lead
and to guide you through each season of your life.
This prayer is powerful and there is nothing attached.
If God has done anything for you in your life,
please share this message with someone else.
There is no cost but a lot of rewards;
so let’s continue to pray for one another.
And I Hope You Dance !
