What
I want to do
is travel
deep and deeper
into the dreamlands,
to find that place
that I know
is waiting
for me here.
My home.

- GYPSYWOMAN
- A...WOMAN IN MOTION WITH HAIR AS DARK AS NIGHT HER EYES WERE LIKE THAT OF A CAT IN THE DARK... SHE WAS A GYPSYWOMAN... she danced round and round... from the fire her face was all aglow... she was dancing... dancing... waiting for the RISING SUN... loving caring relationships are like THE RISING SUN...we are nourished by their warmth...we are energized by their strength...we grow in their light...we find shelter and solace there...they are our sanctuary... born in the sign of the sun, i am a true LEO-love the sun and its hot orange red fire-passionate in and about everything i do-i believe in instant chemistry charisma love/lust at first sight-in the magic of the eyes and the beauty of the soul-in the instant recognition familiarity in meeting someone from a past life and in the knowledge that we might meet in a future life-i believe that we are each ageless and flawless-i believe in the beauty of the moment-the whisper of yesterday-the hope of tomorrow-the power of forgiveness for even ourselves-the absolute and total beauty of love---[credit to brian hyland and curtis mayfield]
JUNG AND THE DREAM DOOR...
the dream is a little hidden door in the innermost and most secret recesses of the soul, opening into that cosmic night which was psyche long before there was any ego-consciousness, and which will remain psyche no matter how far our ego-consciousness extends -
dancing with life...
it's the heart afraid of breaking that never learns to dance - it is the dream afraid of waking that never takes the chance - it is the one who won't be taken who cannot seem to give - and the soul afraid of dying that never learns to live - [artist unknown to me-words bette midler the rose]

DREAMS IN POETRY...
ECHO - Come to me in the silence of the night; Come in the sparkling silence of a dream; Come with soft rounded cheeks and eyes as bright As sunlight on a stream; Come back in tears, O memory, hope, love of finished years. O dream how sweet, too sweet, too bitter sweet, Whose wakening should have been in Paradise, Where souls brimfull of love abide and meet; Where thirsting longing eyes Watch the slow door That opening, letting in, lets out no more. Yet come to me in dreams, that I may live My very life again though cold in death: Come back to me in dreams, that I may give Pulse for pulse, breath for breath: Speak low, lean low, As long ago, my love, how long ago. - christina rossetti
aristotle and plato on dreams
The Greeks thought that dreams were a means to be receptive to thought, a way to be telepathic. They also believed that dreams were a means for communicating with spirits or ghosts. Around 350 B.C., the Greek philosopher Aristotle determined that dreams came from within the Self. This was a revolutionary idea because until that time it was widely believed that dreams came from outside of Self rather than welling up from within. Aristotle’s work spanned the nature of consciousness beyond the physical and for his incredible insight historical accounts have remembered him as the father of metaphysics. Plato, a contemporary and student of Aristotle, took these ideas a bit farther. Plato identified dreams as a communication from the soul of man. - from the Dreamer's Dictionary/School of Metaphysics -

Love the picture Jenean.
thanks trevor - it is gorgeous, isn't it? like dreams of purple velvet - oh, or was that "blue" velvet? well, either one!
Otherworldly picture. I hope it's waiting for me, too. -Jayne
hi jayne - yes, it IS very otherworldly - good word for it! and i'm sure it's waiting there for you!!!
As always, fantastic image. & the quote fits perfectly!
thanks, trish! i'm glad you like! the image seems almost magical to me - mysterious!
Can I tell you how this is so true for me. I always think of myself as a traveller, earth has never been my home. Always felt out of place, like I don't belong no matter where I may travel in this world. I'm not an alien, I hope :) In one's own dreams, they can become anything and live anywhere they wish. Love the pic too. It matches the surreal mood.
Many thanks Gypsywoman for tracking me down and joining.
you know, LU, i think there are a lot of us who dance to a different drummer - who walk the path less trodden - for whom those feelings are common - but the one place where we are always home is WITHIN - and that's the only home that counts! thanks so much for stopping by and leaving a note which i so appreciate - have a great remainder of the evening!
