Hi Dream Momma. I'm female and live in Chicago. Here's my dream. I was out on Lake Michigan canoeing and a lot of other people were canoeing too. Here and there people started getting out of their canoes and into the water and I was wondering how they were going to get back into their canoes. But it looked very refreshing to be in the water and everyone was having fun. Eventually it became clear that the water was draining out of the lake as the people who were out of their canoes were suddenly able to stand on the bottom. Finally, the entire lake drained out and we were all standing around with our canoes. The bottom of the lake (that we were now standing on) wasn't flat – it was very hilly. Eventually it started to rain and we were happy because we thought the rain would fill the lake up again but it wasn't actually raining it was snowing snowflakes that were perfectly shaped little stars that we were catching in our hands. We were all amazed. And that was the end of that.
Congratulations Chicago dreamer, you have had a life's journey dream. Here are some of the archetypes that indicate that. First, you are in a vessel. Usually it's a car but in your case, it's a more primitive type of transportation that evokes early tribal times. In the dream you are stranded, stuck on the bottom. Life has drained out of your psyche. Are you world weary? Bored? Probably. There's certainly no juice in where you are at.
But wait! Your metaphoric death (snow) is transformed into life by those perfect little stars. Stars indicate immortality, the Soul, destiny. So Chicago, what are you waiting for? Go catch a star and live large! Get launched! Grab immortality by the tail! Take risks!
It's the next phase of your journey.
Dream Momma
