Roseanne – "Where we used to play as kids" in dream represents the childhood of the human race.
“There used to be a large pool by the house in which we all bathed when young.
I started exploring the pond, and had the most unexpected set of fantasies and feelings bubble up from within. The garden when we were children referred to a condition of mind, which I now experienced, in which a group shared a common awareness, and felt at one with their environment. In other words there was no separate identity. No one in the group knew themselves as an individual. I knew as I experienced this that it was about the early condition of human beings.”
The basement represents going just below everyday awareness into your inner world. See
http://dreamhawk.com/inner-life/inner-world/#MakesInner From there you are in touch with the wonder within you. Shown by the image of the huge bird – and image meaning that you have the possibility of the eagle’s vision. Because the eagle, like most hunting birds, has an extraordinary far reaching and inclusive gaze, it can link with the ability of your own mind to at times expand far beyond the immediate sense impressions and concerns, to include years of life experience, and what you have learned when looked at as a whole. It can therefore represent spiritual vision. This is because the height of the bird and its steady gaze give it unusual perception and wide awareness. To touch such enormous wealth of experience is to be penetrated by the holy. Something so beyond the limitations of our own small personality enters us and leaves its imprint.
You are loved and protected always, but we lose sight of it when we are facing the crossroads of our life experiences – necessary but difficult. Your dream came as a reminder of your path you are on, and the love and protection you have.
