Bee-ing/Performances and Mirrorings (John Dotson’s dreams of October 3, 2014)

Dream 1: Bee-ing

I encounter a person who has the power of flying—extremely sophisticated. This power transforms the person physically into something of the shape of a super-bee while vast, virtually supersonic parabolas are flown. This power includes the capacity to come to a full stop and switch directions on a point. The force is that of a hypersensitively attuned, free-moving comet.  I watch with fascination. The situation feels very exhilarating but natural.

As with a game of tag, all that is required to be infused with this power is the touch of the endowed person, which instantaneously transfers the energies and capabilities. When the bee-ing stops and stands near me, he/she is aware, telepathically, that I want to be touched and want to experience these aerodynamisms. But it is also clear that the entity is not going to tag me, that it is better for me to continue working in my present modes. I am okay with this.

 

Dream 2: Performances and Mirrorings

I’m involved with two simultaneous, complex, fairly large-scale productions. I am fully participating in both, in all aspects—writing, hands-on producing, directing, and performing. The cast members are all friends and family. There are very detailed tasks being accomplished by everyone.

One scene takes off from the Mass, and there are liturgical vessels—theatrical—that need to be refurbished. I get very involved with multiple stages of painting the inlay and burnishing these baroque vessels. Many steps are involved—painting, drying, re-painting, burnishing. As this task continues, other things happen in the dream sequence.

In one phase of rehearsal/collaboration, the veils dissolve between the characters being performed and the characters of the actors who are performing. The purest drama occurs when the actors are presenting their own characters, when they are playing themselves. I am aware that my own role involves real and powerful energies among the various mirrorings. My actions are implicated in deep and highly charged emotions. This is not a new or sudden awareness, and I am basically at peace, in equipoise at perceiving the interweaving twists and turns of the mysterious surfaces, including the dangers and losses, that we are living through—the dancing atoms. With awareness that I am playing my part, which is all I can do, I feel gratitude.
