I’ve never dreamt about you before, well, countless daydreams, but never the night ones, and then just when I’ve managed to stop fantasizing about you, there you are, visiting me at night. I was standing downstream on one side of the river, and you were upstream on the other. The sun was behind you, and when you joyfully jumped into the water, I took my camera out to capture you floating by, arms in the air, glorious sunrays beaming out making you look especially delightful. My camera was on the wrong setting, I didn’t want to use the flash, but I was committed at that point, so I strongly held the button down and waited, frustrated, for the picture to take. Just as you splashed past me, I heard the click and I got a disappointing and different photo of what I could see was a much more beautiful moment. And then you went floating on. And I woke up.
I’m no expert or anything, but if my spidey senses are correct, and often they are, I will take this as a sign that it’s time to let go. Let go of thoughts of you. Away you go, along the river. I’m left to edit my memories and be content that even though the camera couldn’t capture it, and perhaps you couldn’t see it the way I could see it, it was a truly special thing down there by that water. Perhaps I’ll catch you downstream sometime…

My horoscope today. Speaking of flashes…
Scorpio- November 7, 2010
Insights that change the world come from nanosecond flashes of lightning, but in that moment they communicate the totality of a solution. Be open now to the occurrence of a brilliant vision. It may come at a most unexpected time, but it will show you how to set your ship on a new course to a better destination.

There are many days that reading your blog is like reading my life out of sequence. Letting go of a person who played such a significant part in your life is hard, but it’s even harder to continue feeling torn apart (for whatever reason) by that person. I wish you luck.

Yeah, there was something especially helpful about this dream because it was as if watching the river roll by, my attachment to these thoughts went with it. I feel much lighter. Lots of room in my heart and mind now.

The dream world gets to the heart of mysticism.
