ALL DAILY DREAMKU POSTED IN FEBRUARY 2007
The dreamku I chose for this month are a rather diverse mix of moods, maybe a bit more than usual, leaving me unable to determine an overall tone. So that's why I chose the card above representing stalement or balance, The Two of Swords.
Continuing on that theme of "two," you'll note around Valentine's Day a series of double dreamkus, followed by a single dreamku referencing two couples and "double exposure." I think my first choice of a pair of dreamku to post was unconsciously influenced by the coming of Valentine's Day. But, more importantly, I think all these pairs may have had to do with the dream symbolism of twins or pairs, such as appears in the dreamku: different glyphs//both mean butterfly//double new first name. I think it was Jung who said twins in a dream represent something new in the psyche that is not conscious yet. So it is both us and not us. Oy, may it be conscious soon! It's a long, uncomfortable birth.
ALL DAILY DREAM HAIKU POSTED IN FEBRUARY 2007
February 1, 2007
we’re too free minded
to be let on the train
camped by the tracks
February 2, 2007
he flirts
then asks if she’s dying
her hunger
February 3, 2007
cleaning up
she steals the tiny Tarots
back from them
February 4, 2007
ah, it wasn’t stolen!
I left it in
this cubby hole
February 5, 2007
he washes my back
how to keep the water
from draining away
February 6, 2007
I watch
the woman named Herring –
red-faced
February 7, 2007
she’s not listening
and I feel invisible
carnival side show
February 8, 2007
she puts in contacts
to hide her drugged eyes
assignation
February 9, 2007
my male feet
compete and turn me on
end game
February 10, 2007
compelling traces
the writing on the wall
morphs into this
February 11, 2007
On Names and Pairs (from the same dream):
the old woman says
they'll help me one more time
giver of names
different glyphs
both mean butterfly
double new first name
February 12, 2007
A Pair of Lights (from the same dream):
a community
lives around the lighthouse --
she belittles
I build my light
into a full-size lighthouse
fertile earth
February 13, 2007
Deja Vu (from dreams months apart):
the urge to help --
will he let me
dance with him
no one dances
together anymore
walking on eggs
February 14, 2007
What A Pair! (from dreams months apart):
she can't see
past his blindness
their ships pass again
he says he's sorry
as does she
only in a dream
February 15, 2007
each man of two couples
comforts his mate
double exposure
February 16, 2007
led up the endless
ladder into the night
her shiny boots
February 17, 2007
the serpent-dog
sidles up to my breast
et tu?
February 18, 2007
the girl attacks me
as I try to save her
echoing hallway
February 19, 2007
we reassemble him
on strings in his giant form
so many gaps
February 20, 2007
we ride a donkey down
with two tiger kittens
cliff’s edge
February 21, 2007
they put me in a
locked metal box with flowers
the giant gulps it
February 22, 2007
she comes back to life
we all restrain our feelings
cold breakfast
February 23, 2007
a gold fish’s
open mouth against the glass
ancient lure
February 24, 2007
well-formed but too small
the head, neck, and shoulders
of the horse she sculpts
February 25, 2007
the smart cat
wrestles the stuffed one down
data search
February 26, 2007
elevator free fall
limbs straight out I jam myself
above the floor
February 27, 2007
garden labyrinth
Archangel Michael protects
Satan and the boy
February 28, 2007
he flirts
but still owes me --
cash only

Wow... I feel I just walked through a hall of mirrors--which I guess fits with the theme of doubling, doesn't it?
A powerful collection this month. More eerieness, less whimsey, very deep.
Mary Pat
Thanks for wading through it all, MP! :-)
"Hall of mirrors..." also fits with the sort of carnival atmosphere of many. I've always felt there was something very sad about carnivals, or rather the people who work and perform in them. Wounded people just trying to get through. Oy, I'm not in that space today, so enough of that... it's a gorgeous day out there. And I wrote a haiku and a tanka as I doddered along with my shopping cart. :-)
Deja Vu !! These all seem too familiar. Great month of words for you. Nice day in Central Texas too.
Glad you enjoyed them, Charline. The nice weather didn't last long here, though. :-) Hope it's sunny in Central Texas, no tornados or storms.
