I was listening to a relaxation CD.
the song was The Valley.
A picture came into my head.
My t was dancing in a garden.
wearing green and gold silk.
it was blowing in the breeze behind her.
like butterfly wings.
I was behind a fence.
she kept inviting me to join her.
but I was way too self-conscious and shy.
so I watched her instead.
the more I watched her dance,
the more I wanted to join her.
so she helped me roll the fence back.
I danced in the garden for 1 minute only.
then I hid behind the fence.
then I danced for 1 minute again.
then back behind the fence.

I didn't actually make the scene up consciously. It just kind of came to me.

Any comments?

I just had to reply. My t has often described the whole theraputic process as a "Dance of Intimacy" So often you are on your own, but at other times, totally connected..............like having a dance partner. Perhaps this is the meaning of your dream........xx

I like that. My interpretation is that the dancing is interacting with her, really interacting with her. You make progress in this visualization by dancing with her a bit and then stopping and then trying it again. This is a good way to approach anything............

She helped you roll back the fence - your walls..........

Peaches- this is beautiful. She is helping you come out into the beauty of what is around you. You are not sure. But she keeps helping you come out again and again. She doesnt leave but keeps encouraging you. She must be a wonderful t
Thanks for this!
