So the other day my boss is like, "hey where are all those doll (toy) boxes, I was gonna use them for something?" And I'm like, "I threw them away, but I can still get them out of the dumpster.", So he's like yeah...so I went and got them and restored them to usable condition.

And just now I see them in the trash...ha ha...

It seems Ive been doing a lot of just shifting things around from one location to another.

I think he's just trying to be the good guy he is and give me some work. I've been doing a bit of construction for him and refinishing some furniture too.

Little does he know that I'm not even worried about working, I still have a bit of unemployment I can collect and I kinda want to get into a new routine of working on my book, my poetry, my business, and some musical things I wanna do...


*I don't know how people can hang into so much extra stuff...

I got to travel light...

Besides that one woman, I worked with a nice woman today. She's super bubbly and friendly and has a pretty innocent demeanor.

Although today she said she spent 10 years in prison for aiding and abetting a murder.. lol.

For a while, she was messaging me every day, and now I haven't heard from her. I'm sure she's just busy, but I do like to get replies...

If she's in school it's time for finals. I understand. Lapses in communication are challenging. I hope she touches base soon. *hugs*

I've been having a lot of vivid dreams lately. Haven't had dreams like this since May. I don't know if it's the Holy Spirit, or some transition I'm going through physically.

Last night, I don't understand it, but I was with a guy that looked like George Clooney and we were on some island place, maybe out by California? There are different sites to see there, and I asked him where he was going. He said he was looking for the Philosopher's Stone. I was crawling through some places to catch up with him and I was out of shape, I also noticed in the reflection that my hair was shorter. I woke up because my alarm went off at 4:30 a.m.

I had to look up what the Philosopher's Stone is and where it's located. Kind of interesting

Really, that phrase came to you in your dream...and you don't remember ever hearing it before?!

It's a great album and a masterful song by the great and mystical Van Morrison!:



Ha ha, that's an interesting dream though!

May I ask why you said, "some transition I'm going through physically?"

I'm thinking with the way that I was running before, it was at an athlete level. Now that I've been more rested and cut back I think my body is going through changes. It also could be with the amount of sleep because I was getting a lot less sleep before because of all the running and longer daylight hours. I guess I will find out next year when I get back up to that level of running, if things change.

Thanks for the insight or song, I will probably have to listen to it tomorrow when my data is recharged. I just remember everything so clearly and the water being so close to the roads. It started out as a movie that I was kind of watching as a couple we're driving looking for some sort of house, I made a comment about how I didn't care for houses so close to water. And I got taken into the story sort of with this George Clooney character. There was an actual map to different points of interest, but when I tried to find where the philosophers Stone was on the map, I had difficulty and was asking others that were passing by. They shrugged their shoulders. And then my alarm went off and I woke up.

Hmmm, that's all very interesting material. Are you familiar with Carl Jung? I've read a few of his books and he has this one called Man and His Symbols - Wikipedia, that you may be interested in for exploring dream symbolism.

I believe that dreams are significant and exploring them may have some positive benefits, but like treading the seas...it can be dangerous.

It's important to take your Guideline along with you when descending.

Here's the lyrics to the song since your data is low:

"Philosopher's Stone"

Out on the highways and the by-ways all alone
I'm still searching for, searching for my home
Up in the morning, up in the morning out on the road
And my head is aching and my hands are cold
And I'm looking for the silver lining, silver lining in the clouds
And I'm searching for and
I'm searching for the philosopher's stone

And it's a hard road, Its a hard road daddy-o
When my job is turning lead into gold
He was born in the back street, born in the back street Jelly Roll
I'm on the road again and I'm searching for
The philosopher's stone
Can you hear that engine
Woe can you hear that engine drone
Well I'm on the road again and I'm searching for
Searching for the philosopher's stone

Up in the morning, up in the morning
When the streets are white with snow
It's a hard road, it's a hard road daddy-o
Up in the morning, up in the morning
Out on the job
Well you've got me searching for
Searching for, the philosopher's stone
Even my best friends, even my best friends they don't know
That my job is turning lead into gold
When you hear that engine, when you hear that engine drone
I'm on the road again and I'm searching for the philosopher's stone

It's a hard road even my best friends they don't know
And I'm searching for, searching for the philosopher's stone

I love Carl Jung. I wasn't familiar with him until 2006 when some bizarre things were happening and somebody looked at me and said, oh that synchronicity. Synchronicity was only part of what was happening. But his ideas at least gave me some explanation for the stuff that was going on around me.

So I did look up the lyrics, before you had posted. I don't think it's that close. I'm not totally sure of the meeting, but when you do a search, Harry Potter comes up the most.

What I need to figure out is how that translates into what I am currently going through and if there's decisions that I need to make. This is my third dream in a week, two other times I had to take action. Bella is the one that alerted me to how I was having dreams about someone back in May and I sort of brushed aside without looking into it. The interesting thing is that I paid attention to all those dreams before and made the right decisions but with this one person I brushed It off. And there were consequences that followed. So as not to happen again, I've been kind of waking up at night and writing it down. So as to understand if there's a decision to be made. If that makes any sense? I think the Holy Spirit can sometimes speak through dreams about things that we can't always see. And then of course there are always those dreams they call the taco dreams. Haha.

Hmmm, yeah, I haven't really been delving into that realm as of late...at least, not as before...I had almost been lost in those waters...

Although, I just recently posted a vivid dream of my own here on this thread. And I have been thinking about what it means...and I may see it, but...as you did, I am kinda brushing it off.

However, I would listen to the one you mentioned...she is wise.


Yah bless you sister and shalom.

*btw what's a "taco dream"?

I'm not totally sure of the meeting, but when you do a search, Harry Potter comes up the most.

The Philosopher’s Stone is related to alchemy. You can learn more about it here. The Harry Potter films mentioned Nicholas Flamel. He really existed.

This is probably the part most pertinent:

It is also called the elixir of life, useful for rejuvenation and for achieving immortality;[1] for many centuries, it was the most sought goal in alchemy. The philosophers' stone was the central symbol of the mystical terminology of alchemy, symbolizing perfection at its finest, enlightenment, and heavenly bliss. Efforts to discover the philosophers' stone were known as the Magnum Opus ("Great Work").

The Great Work (Latin: Magnum opus) is an alchemical term for the process of working with the prima materia to create the philosopher's stone. It has been used to describe personal and spiritual transmutation.

The dream is pointing to a quest. In the natural, you’ve undertaken a journey of physical improvement and entered a period of rest and rejuvenation. That leg of the quest is complete.

But the spiritual is more arduous. It doesn’t utilize the tools we rely on in the natural. That’s why you were out of shape and unable to keep pace.

Clooney represents the internal guide directing your steps. You must follow Him to experience the transmutation spiritual growth provides. In this case, you’re seeing it as an adventure. Which references your mindset. You’re willing to undergo the process.

In the natural, you’ve taken pains to align yourself with the Lord. The dream is showing you the results of your efforts. The “Great Work” in this case is sanctification.

Practically speaking, you could view Clooney as someone pursuing a path you’re ill-suited to take. Though you’re willing. You’re following him. Not walking beside (so it appears). And he isn’t assisting you. The island suggests you’re out of your element and on unfamiliar terrain. No one helps you. You’re on your own.

If you were considering a suitor, I’d point to the latter. But I sense the first is apropos.

Have you spoken r/t? Or only online or via text? I think its important to connect a face and voice to the person. It makes them real and grounds the connection.

I met @cara-mia online. She called me every morning on the way to work and on her way home. Faithfully. If she had plans or wasn’t available I knew. She’s never disappeared on me.

On the one hand, I know things come up. But I’ve experienced a difference with her and others. Attentiveness and courtesy are integral parts of lifelong connections. In my experience, some are more attentive than others. You’ll always know if something’s going on or came up.

If you need the same admit it.

Yes she is wise Taco dreams are basically when you eat something spicy or something that gives you these wild and random dreams that have no meaning. Haha.
