Dream Momma, I dream I wake up adrift in the ocean. I am drowsy and floating (in a standing position) in softly, undulating water. It is dark and the water is very cold. I have on clothing and what seems to be a down vest, or maybe even a life jacket type thing. By all rights, either by the cold water, or clothing, I should be dead, hypothermia or weighted down by the clothing. I slowly look around....it is dark, except for these massive cloud formations that look like mountains springing from the sea and reaching the heavens. They have a reddish, golden glow to them and are providing light to me. I understand I am very far from any type of land or humanity. I think about sharks below. I am in awe, looking at the clouds, the feeling of power of nature, creation and beauty is all encompassing. There does not seem to be anyway I will survive and I do feel a calmness/acceptance.
Then I am plucked from the ocean, taken through space, and plunked down in another sea, dark also. However, there is a plane that has gone down in the ocean with a rescue crew and the last person they are rescuing. He is close to the plane, so they come for me, pull me into a boat. (sic)
Dear Drifting Dreamer, Being adrift in a vast body of water usually means you have spent a fair amount of time fantasizing, a particularly feminine pastime. Possibly reality is too stressful. Dream Momma doesnt know, but you do.
In your dream you do have some protection symbolized by the down vest/life jacket. That is good.
When you write that I should be dead Dream Momma believes you are talking about a spiritual deadness or a lack of hope. But, lo and behold, your unconscious or spirit sends you these wonderful glowing mountains that reach to the heavens to inspire you. How cool is that!
So, the old Self dies, the spirit rises, and a new Self is born and plucked from the primordial sea along with your animus (masculine shadow). Dream Momma suggests it is the tapping into your animus (masculine energy, i.e. assertiveness), that saves you. Dream Momma believes every woman needs an animus to help her live life to the fullest.
