Creatures Great and Small - 7/12/07

There were animals in my dreams last night. First there were whales (Orcas) that had somehow gotten trapped in a small harbor surrounded by houses. There were four of them (I was one). We decided that the best way to get out was to make waves big enough that each of us would be pushed up and over the barricade into the deeper water. And so we began to thrash around in the small harbor until one by one we were propelled out. When it was my turn and I was out in the deeper ocean, I sped off into the depths at great speed.....end of dream. It was in color too, I remember the incredible blue of the ocean and the exhilaration of swimming so fast.

I got this from Cat's blog of 8/12/06 entitled "Whale, Prime and Phone Calls".

Whale medicine is connected with the kinds of memories deeply embedded within our minds and spirits, even our DNA. That sounds really useful, doesn't it? Actually it is, but it requires not being too shy or timid to use it. Whale medicine works with sound. A whale medicine person uses sound to awaken the memories within; they often use drums or rattles or flutes. Clairaudience is often their gift, or perhaps to hear sounds in frequencies usually inaudible to humans. Often they seem to just know things and only later have the knowledge confirmed.

Whale says, "Drum. Give yourself to the drumbeats and remember. If you don't have a drum, use a counter-top or an oatmeal box or a book, but drum. Just start. Find a rhythm that feels pleasing and drum it. Put whatever problem occupies your mind on your drum.(bring the problem to your consciousness and start drumming. Stop thinking about the problem and feel the rhythm that you've established. It's a way of changing things.) There isn't one right way, there is only what is inside you waiting to be heard, so drum."

Interesting that it speaks of drumming and clairaudience don't you think?

In the second dream I received a baby parakeet. It was green. I remember wondering if it was old enough to be away from its Mother. Then I realized I had no cage or feed for the little bird....end of dream.

Perhaps having no cage or no feed for the bird is important. It seems to me it reflects on my fear's concerning how I will take care of myself if Warren passes away; being pushed out of the nest too soon? Its not that I won't be fine financially, but I haven't really ever been out on my own in my whole life.
