A story with roots in the world of dreams

Such a beautiful wise owl....
thank you,

Here is a good place to dream dreams...



Love,

Lilie

Dear Lilie,
this makes me want to go back to sleep.
Now my dream bird flew me up to the top of a tree

Dear Inda,

Did you get a glimpse of this baby up there?



Love,
Lilie

Dear Lilie...hahaha...here we go again.

I have decided to fly to another tree;
the sunset is so magnificent from here

I see that sunsets are your favourites...I happened to come across this one and could not resist...giving him some attention here..one could probably find him where the tree is

We might need this in our further excursions...catching whatever...

Dear Lilie,
Hahaha...the last thing I need now is more exercise.
I think I will fly into the land of dreams,
and it might be a nice idea to settle into trees

Dear Inda,

Hope you get all the rest you need, these birds are watching over you as you are passing to the world of dreams...



Love,

Lilie

An image of a tree within a leaf....
back to the theme of trees

Dear Lilie,
Your images of your dreams of trees are so beautiful.

Here my dreams were a bit mixed up, and I ended up dreaming of all sorts of trees

Dear Inda

So when talking about mixing things...I am mixing trees with number three...and look! these children promptly wanted to come into our dream scenery...I don´t know why...



Love,

Lilie

By the way..today is celebration of 2 months for this thread...




Love,

Lilie

Let us celebrate.
Thank you Lilie,
What a delicious cake!!

Here is Claude Monet's table,
he was kind enough to let us use it for our feast.

[This message was edited by Inda on Wednesday August 6th, 2003 at 06:45 AM.]

What a wonderful table and nice gesture from Monet. After celebrating, eating the cake and drinking some wine...lets have a walk across this bridge and see what awaits us there..



Love,

Lilie

Dear Lilie,
Something is telling me that we have arrived at Giverny

Yes, Inda...and did you notice the similarity between Givnery and Givnology?

How appropriate.
Both places are filled with infinite beauty.

As you still are sleeping the sun is rising...
and your dreams...

Dear Lilie,
I went to work this morning, so I was awake way before the sunrise. The sun just started to rise when I got to work.

Soon it will be sunset, and time dream another dream

I am still enjoying all these images.
Thank you.

Vicky

I agree with Vicky.
This is a fabulous thread.
I especially like the chocolate cake.

Sue

I am still enjoying this,
especially the Claude Monet,
and the cake.
Please continue.

Gisele

Here too I see there have been great developments ... now as it is night I will post an awesome moonrise ....

The perfect image to accompany me into sleep ... it is time!

Love to all, Margherita

Dear Margherita,
So happy to se you back on this thread;
and what exquisite beauty you add.

It is the end of the day, and the sun has almost set.
Time to enter another dream

As I was driving the car last night through a beautiful landscape...the moon was almost full and seemed so big...

I was thrilled to see Margherita also had an idea of a moon...

Love,

Lilie

Oops! I was really sleepy yesterday.
Instead of the moon I posted the sun.

This is a funny time of the day to post the moon when the sun is shining...hahaha,
but here it is

Back to art again...sister moon

Love,

Lilie

Thank you Lilie,
what a beautiful sculpture.

Now the day is coming to a close.
The moon is taking place of the sun

Yes, where I am, the day is certainly coming to an end...every night I decide to remember what I dream...but most often in the morning I usually forget them...which is a pity...them being the kings´ road to the unconscious....

Do you remember?

I am off to gaze at the sky and hopefully see some shooting star ..... to wish upon!

Oh Lilie had an appointment with the moon, I see!
Wonderful!
Love, Margherita

Oh dreams .... last night I had a nightmare .... Good god I screamed like hell and cried in terror, my husband shook me to wake me up. I think our neighbours must have heard .... Thanks to God I rarely have such horror dreams. I have had some really wonderful dreams that I remember well, but this does not happen very often.

The nightmare was about my sweet Mom. This dream must have originated from some of my worries.


Dream of Love by MM Ramirez

Better to dream of love .....

Love, Margherita

Thank you Lilie and Margherita for sharing the beautiful artwork.
I do not always remember my dreams, but the bad ones are really upsetting.

Good night, time for a pleasant dream.

Here is a painting from
The Salon of 1883
and it is called

I usually don't remember my good dreams either, but I am enjoying all of your dreams a lot.

Sue

I am still enjoying these dreams a lot.
Thank you.

Vicky

Thank you for these beautiful images.. I guess this dream keeps us moving...



Love,

Lilie

Dear Lilie,
What a beautiful dream.
You are right, dreams do keep us moving.

Sweet dreams to you

Thank you! don´t remember so much of dreams but slept without interruptions...your dream brought different feelings and thoughts...

Thank you Lilie,
for the beautiful sculpture.

I had interrupted dreams last night.
Time for another dream.

Love, Inda

What a beautiful dignified face....
and here a room for dreams

Love,

Lilie

This is a wonderful room for many more dreams.
At the moment I need something really relaxing and soothing, so I will float into this painting:

Love, Inda

continuing with dreaming..I hope you are fine today Inda...not to much stress

can I play?

Dear Moon

You are very welcome
to play...there is so
much power in your image
......an intensity...

Here comes an image of the mother





Love,

Lilie

[This message was edited by bracha on Friday August 15th, 2003 at 03:58 AM.]

Thank you Lilie!

Interesting you posted the picture of the mother. I was wondering what made you think of it. There is a sort of coincidence happening on the Chopra message board concerning a poster named Mother and the Pink Floyd song Mother. I think that the image of the Mother be very meaningful in so many ways.



you have the right to remain fabulous - Chief Wiggum

<3 Glenn <3

Dear Moon..

Sometimes I am not fully aware of all the thoughts and paths leading to a picture.But I think it is more meaningful for us all to go with the flow in ourselves and see where it lead us....

Anyhow your image for me was full of father and sexuality....and in this case I can say that I found this mother when looking for Eros and I found her so beautiful....

the path to the father


Love,

LilieG

Dear Lilie and Glenn,
I am really enjoying your stories.
I had no electricity for 24 hours, so I was able to catch up on my dreams. It is amazing how dark it is when there is no power anywhere, and there is a quiet as well that we usually don't get when everyone is doing their usual chores.

I found this sculpture that appeals to me

Dear Lilie,
This is totally out of sequence, but my electricity went off when I wanted to add this after your beautiful Rossetti painting.

Sorry Glenn, to mess up the thread,
but lets call it a "mixed up dream."

lol

I don't see it as being messed up! beautiful image!

I have some pretty mixed up drimes I tells ya



you have the right to remain fabulous - Chief Wiggum

<3 Glenn <3

Rosetti must have used the same model...Inda, so nice to see you back again, also liked the sculpture....

Glenn,certainly a dreamlike feeling...giving resonance in the unconscious...

Love,

Lilie

Just woke up from those soothing images.
Now I found an interesting passage, just to add more roots to our dreams

I found a nice prayer on this theme of roots...




Love,

Lilie

Thank you Lilie,
This is a very beautiful and appropriate prayer.

Here is another prayer to add to our dreams tonight:

The stillness of God be mine this night
that I may sleep in peace.
The awareness of the angels be mine this night
that I may be alert to unseen mysteries.
The company of the saints be mine this night
that I may dream of the river of love.
the life of Christ be mine this night
that may be truly alive in the morning
that I may be truly alive.
~Celtic Prayer

Sleeping beauty by Thomas Ralph Spence

Beautiful pictures .... I love sleeping beauties .... there is so much going on behind those closed eyes in the dreamworld. Don't I know?

Love, Margherita

I’m open to love
my heart invites you to dance

senryu by Margherita

Often our nightly dreams are connected to our day dreams ..... answers come during the night and solutions indicating the way to realise the dreams we dream during the day.

Ok this one isn't a sleeping beauty ..... she is hidden!

Love, Margherita

There, the Roman girl is dreaming with open eyes ...

Love, Margherita

[This message was edited by Margherita on Sunday August 17th, 2003 at 07:10 AM.]

Here is one more sleeping beauty;
this one I am sure has the most peaceful dreams,
embraced by the angels

Sweet Dreams

I went to bed with that beautiful celtic prayer in mind. After all these beauties I chose an image with something of horror in it....for balance...





Love,

Lilie

[This message was edited by bracha on Sunday August 17th, 2003 at 12:49 AM.]

I prefer spiders in their natural endeavours ... nice dewdrop web!

Noooooooooooooooo...... did you hear my scream, dear Lilie? I am checking my skin if there is no alien invading .... You had me nearly fainting!

Well I have had dreams of ants crawling over me .....grrrrrrrrrrr.

I see the lovely Roman girl has disappeared. Probably she was shocked too!! haha.

Love and hugs.
Oh, dear Inda, thank you for sharing that beautiful celtic prayer!

I have found something really beautiful and want to share it ....

But I am having some problems with pictures here, hopefully it will work.

I want to heal from nightmares ...

senryu by Margherita

You are so naughty, Lilie...hahaha
I kept feeling my skin, felt all sorts of creepy-crawleys all over me.

I think I will just throw in this birth of love between all beings

You might call me naughty, and yes....maybe

Amazing with the unicorns,Margherita...it was almost my choice yesterday...



Love,

Lilie

Dreaming of Unicorns

In the Cluny Museum in Paris there are five tapestries called "La Dame a la Licorne" or
"The Lady and the Unicorn."
They depict the five senses, sight, hearing, taste, touch and smell.

Here is a section of the tapestry "smell"

And here is a small detail of "touch"

Thank you so very much, Inda...they go so well together with Erics latest text...on the tattvas..Here more dreamings of unicorns..

artist: Suzi dePoo


[This message was edited by bracha on Monday August 18th, 2003 at 12:00 PM.]

Thank you for all this beautiful artwork.
I am really enjoying this thread.

Vicky

Sweet friends, I should be packing .... but then just for one moment I HAD to come in...

Yes Lilie this IS amazing and it becomes even MORE amazing with the explanations dear Inda supplied.

Because ..
I actually found the "Unicorn Love" image while searching for an adequate picture to accompany my reply on Eric's latest Tantra essay about the meaning of a moment of no-meaning ... I loved it instantly, but wasn't sure if I could use it for that purpose, so I saved it. You see, my subconscious mind had actually shown the right image but in my ignorance I did not recognize it!
But thanks to you both, now I KNOW. These unicorns are worth a deeper research. I have just read the legend regarding King Arthur ... Well, there is so much to know.

The synchronicities never cease to give me goosebumps.

Sweet ladies, I will not be around much for the rest of this month. But you will be in my heart always. If I get an opportunity to come in, I will.

Otherwise, see you in September.

Enjoy life and each other!

God bless you.
I love you. Margherita

Dear Margherita

We will have to explore more on unicorns
when you come back...will you tell us some?
I wish you a wonderful time and hopefully a lot of cool breezes...
I love you too, dear friend... will miss you





Lilie

ah it must have been the unicorns that boosted my psychic abilities so that I could hear what was going to be said on the radio when my alarm went off...

<3 Glenn <3

Thank you Everyone,

I am thoroughly enjoying this thread.

Sue

These images are all very dreamlike and beautiful.

Here is a section of the tapestry
called: "Taste"

I posted sections of the tapestries
called:"Hearing" and "Sight" as a reply to Eric's latest post. I thought it was appropriate.

Dear Inda,

Wonderful images! And yes, very appropriate...
and here a break, something else...a certain mood when summer turns to fall, slowly...



Love,

Lilie

[This message was edited by bracha on Monday August 18th, 2003 at 11:59 PM.]

Thank you for more beautiful images.
I am really enjoying this thread.

What beautiful images Lilie and Glenn.
The freshness of spring and summer turns into more faded colors as autumn comes closer, and the sun throws the shadows much lower and deeper. The day is fading. Time for more dreams.

After the news on terror attacks I take a pause in dreaming...praying



Love,

Lilie

Blessing From the Medicine Man

This thread is getting more and more enjoyable.
Thank you very much.

These are really wondeful images.

Ponder here and now on His qualities,
that you may behold Him Himself tomorrow.

~Mahmud Shabistari

I shall now light my candle, and go through this beautiful gate to the land of dreams once more.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What was in that candle's light
that opened and consumed me so quickly?

Come back, my friend. The form of our love
is not a created form.
Nothing can help me but that beauty.

There was a dawn I remember when my soul
heard something from your soul.

I drank water from your spring
and felt the current take me.

~Rumi

~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sweet Dreams!
Love, Inda

Oh, my God...this poem by Rumi
touches me so deeply, also with
sadness in that joy...

How truely beauty reaches where nothing else can...



With Love,

Lilie

The thirst in our souls is the attraction
put out by water itself.

We belong to it,
and it to us.
~Rumi

Such beautiful images and words.

Thank you Glenn,
Your image is very special.

let yourself be silently drawn
by the stronger pull
of what you really love.

Thank you Glenn and Inda for all this beauty.....

"If you are a friend of God, fire is your water."

With Love,

Lilie

Thank you Lilie,
This is an extraordinarily beautiful image.
It carries me right into the land of dreams.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Real Prayer can only be yours
when you have staked and gambled yourself away
and your essence is pure.
Then "a joy of the eyes" are your prayers
and no separation remains,
for knower and known are one and the same.

~Mahmud Shabistari

This prayer will carry me to another dream:

Love is the life-giving nectar of immortality;
it is what we call the water of life.
~Rumi

"Whatever pearl you seek,
look for the pearl within the pearl!"
Rumi

Dear Lilie,
Thank you. I love this.
My dreams will carry me through another door now to look for pearls within the pearls.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In Being's silver sea
lustrous pearls of knowledge are washed up
on the shore of speech,
and dainty shells bring poems in their curving forms to strew the beach with beauty.

Each wave that breaks in foaming arcs
casts up a thousand royal pearls
that hold strange, murmuring voices,
gems of devotion, joy, and love.

Yet tough a thousand waves
at every moment rise and fall,
scattering pearls and shells,
yet there are ever more and more to come,
nor is tat sea of Being less by one sheer drop.

~Mahmud Shabistari
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thank you for this poem, Inda...so beautiful...
today I am in the mood for Rumi again and again..


MAVLANA'S LAST LETTER TO SHAMS

Sometimes I wonder, sweetest love, if you
Were a mere dream in a long winter night,
A dream of spring-days, and of golden light
Which sheds its rays upon a frozen heart;
A dream of wine that fills the drunken eye.

And so I wonder, sweetest love, if I
Should drink this ruby wine, or rather weep;
Each tear a bezel with your face engraved,
A rosary to memorize your name...

There are so many ways to call you back-
Yes, even if you only were a dream.

Dear Lilie,
Thank you.Rumi is my alltime favotite.

I went searching far and wide and finally came up with a treasure of pearls within pearls.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

...The sea is Being, the shore is body;
The mist, grace, and the rain knowledge of the Name; human wisdom is the diver
who holds entrapped in his garment
a hundred pearls.
The soul in a swift lightning's flash
bears to the listening ear voices and messages
from the shells of knowledge;
but when the husks are opened,
behold the royal shimmering pearls!

~Mahmud Shabistari

Thank you Inda,

here something calming...

I hope you all are doing well

I love this thread as well.
