DreamTime – The first dream says clearly that you are ready for the next stage of your inner growth or evolution. The theme from there on is depicting the past, and it is the past and it influence on you that I want to try to explain.
The sexual intimacy is repeated in a way with the scenes from a mythical past, and it carries on into the past with Crete.
The past, your past, stretches back much further than your conception or birth. For your conception was a fertilised seed planted in the fertile soil of your mother’s womb; and that seed didn’t suddenly appear but was the product of millions of other seeds and lives lived. The seed, like any seed, carries within it the essence of all its millions of years of experience. You are the recent ‘mushroom’ that grew from the underground/unconscious material – the mycelium which is the large part of the exterior growth if mushrooms or fungi.
I use the analogy of mushrooms as an example of how the large part of us is active below the surface of our mind and only produces our conscious self – the mushroom – from the mycelium which has lived out of sight for many, many years, when the above ground season is right.
So you are a product of natural activities in the seed, but you are usually not aware of all the past that is considered the important thing – the personal you.
But your dreams are slowly opening up your past – probably because it is important for you to learn from. See
http://dreamhawk.com/inner-life/this-is-the-time-of-the-quickening/The bit of your past that is important for you to explore is to do with the feminine part of your experience – there are aspects of it that need you to re-evaluate.
Example: I had the distinct impression, even an image, of approaching an ancient tomb. The image I had of it was that we were walking in a big underground place. It was dimly lit as if we were now carrying some sort of light such as a flaming torch. From this we could see that the tomb was very old and slightly crumbled. Everything was dusty giving the impression of great age. And as we approached this tomb I could feel the sense that hidden within it was a great tragedy. I felt that if we opened this tomb we would come across, be witnesses to, a tragedy from the past. Even as I write this I feel again that sorrow and sadness one feels in such situations. It was and is very real.
That is an account of someone meeting the past hidden in them, but carried by their seed. So I suggest you explore using any of the approaches described in
http://dreamhawk.com/dream-dictionary/practical-techniques-for-understanding-your-dreams/Crete is a land of very ancient ways of life. As I open to it I feel entrance into a way of life that is completely beyond understanding by many of today’s people. It was not patriarchal but matriarchal, with much beauty and artistry. It was an ancient and now lost civilisation, but one many people carry the memory of within them, a memory you are invited to recall.
It is held out to you if you reach out for it.
