Dream Over Analysis #1

I really enjoyed my dream last night, as I often do during my monthly cycle.  Gents, I'm sure that's too much information; Ladies, consider keeping a dream journal? - you might find some beauteous things happening in your dream world during your cycle...  It's a powerful time once a month to shed old dreams and let new ones come to the surface.

I dreamed I was living on an island, surrounded by the sea.  I was part of a water-tribe of some sort, and our simple celebrations of the seasons brought a lot of color to our lives, as did our primitive and symbolic art.  I had children, and taught them art and anthropology in a classroom that looked out on the ocean.  One day, on the chalkboard, I saw a drawing of a white triangle and a black triangle butted against each other, and words appeared:  "Leo Noble is to marry Linda Wilde."  Perhaps my conscious (Leo sun sign) and subconscious (Libra moon sign) minds are getting serious about taking their relationship to the next level?

Leo is obvious enough - the Lion King of the skies, ruled by the sun. Warm, effulgent, positive.

Linda... I had to look up the name.  It means "soft, gentle" in its germanic roots, "pretty" in spanish, and may reference Oroboros as in "Lindworm" (seaserpent).  Wikipedia says: "Muchalinda is also the name of the naga (snake-like being), who protected the Buddha from the elements after his enlightenment" 

I like that last part the best... and it is relevant to something I've been pondering lately, which is the role of the ego...

I like to make people comfortable, I try to be as pleasant as possible, and sometimes I am a regular ol' ball of fluff and sunshine.  But I also have this trouble with Not Saying What I Really Want, and then getting super pissed when people don't read my mind.  So that's dumb.

Leo (happy cat) and Linda (snarky serpent) need to work together in their relationship as Aspects of My Personality.

I was under an incredible amount of stress for several days this week due to poor planning on my part and the looming deadline of needing to move everything I own from one city to another.  I wanted to ask for help with these tasks, but... I really didn't.  People even offered help that I turned down, and I ended up doing most everything myself.  This story doesn't have a 180 degree turnaround where everything got easier.  It was just stupid.  I should ask for help when I need it.

The fluffball of Love and effulgence (the serene and most enlightened Buddha)... well, sometimes he needs a silver-tongued and shrewd shepherdess (the naga that surrounds the light, shielding it from the harsh elements of life) to speak up and get shit done!

I'm glad I am both.  What would the one do without the other?  Happily married, dark and light, for life. <3

Look, here is a duck with a sun for one arm and a moon for the other... ;}
