Stranded in Time - Shamanic Dreaming Workshop (Post 5 of 5)

.....Resigned, I sit down on the platform to wait.  I sit through several nights and several days.  A large red rose hangs in the air to my right.  At night, I am not lonely because I have the stars.  A few times I think I can reach my destination by walking on the train tracks but my gut tells me that this would not be a good idea.  So, I sit on the edge of the track, waiting.

Soon, as I sit, I notice within my center, below my belly button, and in the middle of my abdomen, a small black dot that ricochets around inside of me like a ping pong ball.  As I sit beneath the stars and I focus my attention on this dot I notice that it begins to slow down and when it is finally still and vibrating in place, I notice that as the sun rises and sets, it is as if I too rise and set.  Soon I and my dot are so still that I no longer notice the passage of time or all the things I am not getting done.  It is then that I see the train beginning to slow and take form in front of me.  It had been there all this time, whizzing by so fast I could not see it and so believed it had left without me.  I am glad now that I listened to my intuition and did not step onto the tracks to walk to my destination because I surely would have been injured! 

The train stops and I am able to board.

Dream Symbols

Train – The trajectory of time as it exists outside of us.

Small Black Dot – A piece of our energetic anatomy.  An energy center.  The trajectory of time as it exists inside of us.  In the dream, as in life, the train (external time) moved faster or slower depending on how quickly time moved within the dreamer.

Rose – Angelic forces that protected me during my stay at the train station and who blew fragrant healing energy down up on me during my stay at the train station.

Stars – The Ancestors who are also guides who also form part of our spiritual family.
