Another dream

Here I go boring you with dream posts again, but this one I want to write down so I remember.

I dreamed that Mel and I were driving to Victor Harbor, which is a beachy town where we are spending Christmas night and Boxing Day. We've never been there before. (That bit is actually real - we are going there for Xmas. So in my dream, that's what we were doing. Got it?) As we drove towards the beach we were looking at the view of the ocean and thinking it looked SO good. Then suddenly we realised that we had driven to the end of this jetty thing and if we kept going we would have gone straight over the edge and plummeted into the ocean. Scary, man.

So we stopped and got out of the car and were standing there kind of looking at each other thinking how scary it was, and not really game to look down because you know.. it was scary! But we decided that if we didn't look down and instead just looked out across the ocean, we could really enjoy the view. And it was AMAZING. This huge vast ocean, so tranquil and calm and it was a green colour. I know that sounds gross but it was a gorgeous green ocean and it was amazing and we were both going 'Wow, This is amazing. How come we haven't come here before?

Then we backtracked along the jetty thing until we got to the edge of the sand and we realised that if we just walked on the sand we could get to the ocean without having the big jump off the cliff scenario. Just a gradual walk along the soft sand. And there were all these teenage kids dancing on the beach and having a dance-off thing and we were watching them for a while and then thinking we should check into our hotel. I dunno if that's relevant.

So here goes the interpretation: The falling off the edge of the jetty (taking a flying leap) is the whole idea of having another baby. Very bloody scary. But if we don't think about that, and look at the big picture (long-term) it's actually quite an amazing vision for the future. Water represents emotions and this water was calm and peaceful. Green is the colour of healing. So the calm, clear, green water is a good sign. That it was vast and expansive is even better. Obviously backtracking to the sand and realising we could walk to the water is about the gradual process of the whole having a baby experience. By the time you get pregnant, it's 9mths and then you just take each day, month, year at a time until you get to the teenagers in the dance-off I guess.

And maybe the bit about going off to find the hotel room meant that it's time to get cracking. :)
