XTC and attempt to interpret dream

Dear XTC,

Thank you for this day. Not a lot is going on. M. went to Joann’s to find buttons to fix G.’s coat. I’m waiting to call The Vet about M2. I hope they will help us, hope someone will get her looked at, so that she can get heartworm and flea medicine.

I wrote a lot of journal yesterday. I kind of unraveled a dream meaning I think. It was pretty obvious, but I had to think about it for a bit. I don’t think every dream has meaning, but I think that some do, and that we can understand that meaning, even if only in hindsight.

One dream the still confuses me:

I dream I am with Morgan Le Fey from the Ahh My Goddess movie. She has made a faerie circle out of pollen to protect everyone. The only problem is that they can’t get out, and they will starve to death.

What does it mean?

Well, I can try a few steps on it.

Symbols

1) Morgan Le Fey

2) Ahh my Goddess

3) faerie circle

4) pollen

5)barrier

Dynamics:

A part of myself has sealed off the rest of me to protect myself, but it’s cutting me off from the source I need for nourishment. Faerie circles can be good or bad, and it looks like this one is good and bad.

So how can I protect myself from whatever is threatening me, without cutting myself off from what I need?

I just don’t know about this one yet. Maybe God will send me another dream to reinforce this one. I’ve been dreaming a lot about infinity stones, and have some idea of what that might mean.

I wonder if this is related to creativity? I have sought to protect my work by not publishing it, but maybe in doing that I’m starving myself of positive feedback, or exposure. Or it could be a spiritual problem. In my attempt to protect my heart, I may be cutting off things that are nourishing. Lord, give me the insight Ineed to understand this dream. I can’t do it without you.

((The dream interpretation technique used here comes from Robert A. Johnson’s Inner Work, although I strongly advise against the practice of active imagination he also describes in the second half of the book.
