My goodness, Thunder Bow! You took a dream that was very complex and random, which I thought probably had
no meaning, and gave it a lot of sense! Wow!
I can see now that the shape-shifting men represented a part of me. I think they were real kind because people have said I am kind in real life, and the blobs were just treating me the way I wanted to be treated. I also see now why the blob man and daughter formed a larger blob, as weird as it was to assume. I think it's because I've been separating myself from my parents, in a good way, and that inner part of me divided between my parents and myself have joined as "one."
The cliff analogy is spot on. I've recently made some big changes in my life and have been doing a lot of "searching."
The part about being sad is something I really connected to. I think that's why I did stay at the house in the dream until morning, and I felt scared because it was a new day for me. I suppose that's what the sunset throughout the dream represented after all.
Thank you
