I
still remember a dream from 35 years ago, when I was just starting out
on this thing: I was on a very high, very white mountain crag, and in
front of me was the vast, deep blue sky. I was an eagle, and I took off,
and then I got scared by the height. I was afraid to soar, unlike my
companion eagle. I don't think I'm soaring yet, I'm still being led to
mend the bits that need mending. But it's where I'm headed.
Dreams are not an add-on, a supplement to our waking experience. As my friend June O'Brien said recently, "I have begun to wonder if it isn't this daytime stuff that is the dream."
Dreams are where the Spirit speaks to us. They therefore tell us what
is real. I have had some dreams lately that confront, contradict my
waking experience. They are forcing the issue of what is real.
But dreams also unfold over time, they are multi-layered. What they mean
changes. As with all inner experience, I think it is best to be
circumspect about talking about them. It can be like taking the lid off
the crucible: the intensity diminishes, the development slows. For
dreams are not one-off things, they are gifts that stay with us and
enrich. If we cherish them.

Thanks for this Barry. I also have Pluto in the 12th and have only discovered that it is a very important piece of the puzzle of my inner work. I have always had very vivid dreams and can remember some of them for years as I know they contain important message/wisdom for my journey. I was told told by a shaman that my power animal is an Owl and when researching the meanings the Owl seems to fit with Pluto in the 12th.
