ALL DAILY DREAMKU POSTED IN MAY 2007
The Moon card, Thalia Took
This month's crop of dreamku seems to have a split personality. The mood changes from rather positive to increasingly negative after the very middle of the month. I’m tempted to say that’s a result of my moon phase hyper-sensitivity. Gibbous moons – the phase just before full – always agitate me unpleasantly in some way. Sometimes effecting me as much as a week to ten days before the actual gibbous moon appears. A full (Blue) moon phase is just now passing and so hopefully will my negativity. Though honestly there’s a lot else stirring up the gunk and mud in my emotional life than just moon phases. But maybe without the added influence of a gibbous moon I’ll be better able to make some very needed changes.
I am surprised there aren’t many more apartment or house images in this month’s dreamku. I’ve been focused on re-arranging my apartment now that my roommate has moved out, and thoroughly enjoying it. Though I hasten to admit I don’t enjoy all the body aches and pains. :-) I’ve been (and still am) doing more lifting and cleaning and packing away and throwing out than I’ve done in the 22 years I’ve been here. Maybe some of the emotional upset in the second half of this month's dreamku is also about re-arranging and clearing out on an inner level. I certainly hope so!
ALL DAILY DREAMKU POSTED IN MAY 2007
May 1, 2007
the red cardinal
with his mate and three eggs
my new roommates
May 2, 2007
have you seen
anyone from the new moon?
my sun burned belly
May 3, 2007
feet of clay
her old acquaintances
follow in his dust
May 4, 2007
getting hosed
I’m left to clean up
their old disguises
May 5, 2007
they don’t get me
teaching by confession
can be tricky
May 6, 2007
I soak the quilt
and the women in the tub
laughter bubbles
May 7, 2007
hyper toddler
I grab her leash so I
can focus elsewhere
May 8, 2007
we try to upload
to her bed in outer space
no response
May 9, 2007
she demands I get
sugar for her little girl
it’s all relative
May 10, 2007
dream answer
I search now only for one,
three and eleven
[Note: Numbers have extremely strong Tarot relationships for me after over 30 years studying the Tarot. Before I was even really awake, right out of this dream I thought "Ah! I'm yearning for magic (I, The Magician); mothering (III, The Empress); and muscle (XI, Strength). This thought also illustrates an aspect of this poet's mind, and probably others': auto-alliteration. :-D]
May 11, 2007
a native woman
leads us through lush foothills
a large garlic bulb
May 12, 2007
black ballots, white print
each family member votes
on the change
May 13, 2007
I swim using my
extra lung alveoli
surface breakthrough
May 14, 2007
TRIPLETS
(dreamed Mother's Day, May 13, 2007)
hitchhiker
the yellow duckling takes
my hair for feathers
three of us play catch
in the surf with the large egg
darkness through a crack
a broad shouldered
narrow-hipped woman hatches
new Qabala* coach
[*Qabala: ancient Hebrew mysticism; correspondences can be seen between The Tarot and its Tree of Life]
May 15, 2007
she cuts a ragged
slice from the huge onion
why do I help
May 16, 2007
I let the crowd
force me out of the theatre
panic attack
May 17, 2007
too many parents
agree with the new regime
twisted offspring
May 18, 2007
they evict
family after family
organized chaos
May 19, 2007
she bites right
through her lower lip
bitter taste
May 20, 2007
of wine and roses
our drinking’s bad enough but
who might we subvert
May 21, 2007
almost everyone
in the room loses someone
serial killer
May 22, 2007
DANCING IN THE DARK
(a pair from a dream, Mary 20, 2007)
I see intriguing
spots dancing in the dark
she sees points of light
spring snow flurry
she points up the need to be
a light among lights
May 23, 2007
she hugs popcorn
to her chest for comfort
parting of the ways
May 24, 2007
my parents up front,
I sleep but do I dream
bumming a ride
May 25, 2007
the flesh above
that ancient heart wound puckers
the body remembers
May 26, 2007
DANCING BACKWARDS
(from a dream of May 21, 2007)
what a kick
they awkwardly practice
the jive step
cranky wallflower
I wander the ballroom
to find a teacher
I already know
the dance the old lady leads
her beaded blue gown
May 27, 2007
she rejects
the role she knows best
young drama queen
May 28, 2007
he argues
for going around the danger
stalled in the dark
May 29, 2007
LASTING
(from dream of May 28, 2007)
the last two horses
she could afford to raise
out to pasture
last of their line
the pair of old white horses
bright against the sky
May 30, 2007
a man next to me
face down in the water
live wires float
May 31, 2007
the long cardboard tubes
radiate danger
I ignore them

Once again, I enjoy and relate to your writing. Thanks for sending me the monthly notice so that I can read all the dreamku in one sitting.
I like the white background here at this site. On your other sites, I find the black background with white text very hard on the eyes. I visit briefly anyway, mostly to enjoy your wonderful art. For others that may have this problem: I highlight everything from the left side downwards and it changes the background to white and the text to grey. That helps me some if I don’t forget and move my mouse inside again. -VCW
I'm delighted you enjoy reading a month's dreamku all in a row. (LOL! Just saw their little heads poking up into the sunlight....)
I can understand your difficulty with a black background. However, I chose black for both my Tarot blogs because they are so graphic intense, and (at least to my aging eyes) graphics really "pop" on black. Have you tried enlarging the text size in your browser? That can help some. I'm sorry you have this problem with my Tarot blogs. I have a real problem myself on viewing blogs/web sites when there isn't enough contrast between the color of the font and the color of the page. So I certainly empathize.
