Dream of House

Its not often I remember my dreams but when I do I try to write them down in some way. I dreamed of looking at an empty house last night. It was dark and very spooky. Definitely a fixer upper! Its a very old home but with lots of character.

The driveway is very long and on both sides are shrubs and trees. Matter of fact the whole place is surrounded by trees.

When I walked in the door immediately to my left was a kitchen. Then on my right are rooms and stairs and in the back all I saw was darkness, but I think there was a living room. I didn't see the upstairs at all except from the outside.

The outside is cobblestoned. I think there is some kind of porch but I didn't draw that in because I don't remember it well.

I don't know what we were doing, but in the dream DH had some kind of laser pointer thing he attached to a tree and had it shine into a window through the kitchen. He seemed very pleased like he was checking something. Don't know what that was though.

Now I have lived in a home similar to this. Also very old, cobblestoned in front. But the layout was completely different. 

Herbal Dreams

It's not often I remember a dream so when I do I pay special attention to it. This isn't so much a dream as a word stuck in my head. I'm sure the word came from a dream I just don't remember. Well there was two words I remembered in the early morning hours, but I've forgotten one. That's what I get for not writing them down at 3 a.m. But I was busy with the baby, so at least I have a good excuse.

Yarrow Plant. Image Source

The one I do remember is Yarrow root. I didn't know much about it, so I did a little research. Turns out this is a flower I recognize. I've picked them on quite a few occasions. And I'm pretty sure there are some out in the field next to our house. At least there were in the summer.

This plant has been known to help staunch blood so its been used since Greek and Roman times to help heal woods. Its said to have antiseptic and astringent properties.

It also helps relax muscles. Particularly the uterus and digestive system. I've never been a woman who cramps a lot during AF, but I can see where this might help. Though the thought of making this into a tea is not at all appetizing! I'm sure you can find it in pill form at your local herbal store though. If your pregnant beware of taking Yarrow root since this can increase your chances of miscarriage. And because of that I'd caution breastfeeding moms on taking it too.

It's also a cold remedy! Now isn't that useful. It promotes sweating (Yucky). But Sweating helps bring down a fever.

A favourite Goddess.

Isis is my mother goddess. She came to me in a dream I had.

Here is my dream as I recorded it on July 25th, 2003. 

Isis

It started out with me looking out a window to see an Egyptian pyramid. It was current times and I remember hearing on a news station that someone was going to open the pyramid to see what was inside. It turns out when they did open it, the outside portion the meant tried to enter collapsed. The men inside vanished. 

I was curious so I went to the pyramid and found another way inside. I found myself in a small dark room. It had a simple wooden table of which lay upon it a solid black figure of Isis kneeling with her wings outstretched. I then noticed that there was also a hot tub of some sort next to it. All of a sudden the figure on the table came alive and there stood Isis in all her glory and majesty. She was angry that I had broken in and I fled for my life. 

By this time people were worried about the men trapped and they sent in more to rescue the lost men. The team came in the way I had come and were carrying weapons. During this part, it was like I was seeing Isis. I was feeling her feelings and thoughts. She was perplexed by me. She felt that in her hast, she had scared off one of her sisters. 

The men reached Isis' chamber. They found her there and because she frightened them, they wounded her. The men then ran out of the pyramid. 

Isis called to me. I went back to her. She invited me to come into her hot tub, to join her. 

She gave all her essence to me and I felt as though I just inherited the pyramid.

I took this dream as meaning she has claimed me as her own. She is the goddess I most work with. Whenever I feel I need a mother figure in my life, she is there for me.
