ALL DAILY DREAMKU POSTED IN OCTOBER 2006

The dreams I chose to post this month seem to have more than the usual helping of fairy tale and myth-like themes. Maybe it being the month ending in Halloween/Samhain has something to do with that. Ancient energies and images being stirred in the cauldron of seasonal change.
October 1, 2006
spell bound:
a large gold serpent of light
spirals at the center
October 2, 2006
the intruder
hands me a razor blade –
tangled in bed clothes
October 3, 2006
we save the war child
in a flying wedge
fleeting community
October 4, 2006
the risky deep dive
is quicker than before
group effort
October 5, 2006
she returns
he forces her to the floor
at knife point again
October 6, 2006
the kitten paws at
the curve of the light bowl
no way in
October 7, 2006
the needy woman
cuts our connection
it’s her right
October 8, 2006
her son is gone
she, a shadow
among the boulders
October 9, 2006
sunlit room
the paintings honor the trees’
struggle and grace
October 10, 2006
she assumes
I’m the descendant of slaves –
how can I escape?
October 11, 2006
she hugs the grinning
dark-haired man
sweet tooth
October 13, 2006
a storm flattens
a grove of slender trees
ancient oaks stand
October 14, 2006
my dead mother
questions me
hot under the collar
October 15, 2006
he walks on water
in his special boots
tiding me over
October 16, 2006
he nick-names me
Ponderosa Pat
I wake up laughing
October 17, 2006
they chop down
the oracular tree –
it’s not the true one
October 18, 2006
wilderness
the oracular tree stands
in a wide stream
October 19, 2006
triptych
she shields the young man from
the sinister one
October 20, 2006
she loans them
the ancient book of symbols
new hierophant
October 21, 2006
after the piper
an iron fence between
the lawn and beach
October 22, 2006
dirty laundry pile
there’s a problem
with perspective
October 23, 2006
she’s asleep
in my bed
I can’t bear it!
[This dream haiku precipitated an internet search into various versions and interpretations of the fairy tale "Goldilocks and The Three Bears. :-D]
October 24, 2006
she sits on
the helium balloon
riding high
October 25, 2006
destroy or decode
the puzzle box is in
my lap
October 26, 2006
a collage named
“Ciudad de mis Madres”
many women's long legs
October 27, 2006
a sudden gust:
ah, last night’s dream
of a wind break
October 28, 2006

[How I want this 'ku to appear is a bit beyond my blogging/coding skills. It needs to be in a crescent; that's why the dots -- to make the words approximate that shape.]
October 29, 2006
the walk home
four cups of hot tea
in each sneaker
October 30, 2006
a dark cloud erupts
the Knight of Gnomes
flings a brick
October 31, 2006
dark stirrings
the future brews
in the cauldron

These dream haiku were rarely written or dreamed on the dates on which they were posted; many are even years old. I simply go through my handwritten dream haiku notebooks for one that grabs my attention and that’s the one that gets posted on that day. Of course, whatever is going on in my life clearly influences my choice of dream haiku for any particular day’s post. So in that respect these daily dream haiku do act like an on-going dream diary.
