10/1/09, 42 + 30, turtle and shoe dream

my awareness is in the depths of somewhere within, aloft in the ocean sound flowing through the steady breath. the vibration of aum gently massages the nooks and crannies in the body. then i remember the dream i had the night before.

i'm visiting caroline, an friend who is easy to be with and has great compassion, and her son cona, who just married a Chinese. i discover a turtle moving underneath the table, a huge one. i patiently coax it to come out. when it fully reveals itself, i gasp at its grandeur. the shell is big and round. amber, sapphire embedded in a hexagonal pattern. then the whole turtle changes to a pure sky blue before becoming a wet baby girl, all in front of my eyes.

the next scene i fine myself navigating through a crowded shoe store. i see miu wan, a girl from my secondary school. she was always looking serene and i knew she had a well-to-to, loving family, regularly went to football games with her father. in the dream, she can't find some shoe she likes. i scan the display of gorgeous shoes, all high heels, eye a red bootie, show her, then see some flat, round-toed dark blue shoes in soft leather weave, look comfortable and monastic. i'd rather have them even though all the other pointy shoes look beautiful too.

then i'm in some open space. i realize i forgot my blazer. it's my new school blazer, a green wool thing, now i can't find my way back. there are large crowds and the shop is uphill from where i am now. i try a few times and keep slipping and falling away from a narrow rock path.

i see some stores selling similar green wool jackets. young school girls are flocking to them. now they don't interest me anymore.

that's all i can remember and i find my awareness steadily rising up and then i know i'm ready to come out of meditation.
