A Dream Came Calling
Its been nearly a year since your body-death took you physically away,
Each day and night with heart and soul full of love for your spirit I pray -
About half past five this morning whilst I was still dancing with sleeptide and yawning,
As I moved from dimensions outside knowing into the shores of early consciousness calling,
You came to me all of a sudden and I was startlingly awake within a dream,
Portraying to my inner heart and deeper self the spirit and song of your being -
Upon the kitchen table a gathering of papers were consumed in a flowering of flame,
I realised this is a coded symbol for my soul sendings of love poetry to your spiritual domain,
That my offerings have been accepted and the bridge to my psyche you have crossed over,
You reply to my soul by the medium of this dream and my heart is reunited with your love -
And then you were right beside me and you passed me a live telephone,
I thought you wanted me to speak to some friend lost and far from hearts home,
In the speaking I came to awareness that this friend was my self across all of the years,
And that you want me to know your message is to my whole being beyond imaginary fears -
I knew I had to attend closely and discover what you want me to do,
So I began to recount in brief the tale of our adventures on earth as me and you,
Of how following your body-death I came to know the truth of spiritual ascension,
And then I realised my messages are the correspondance between our love's joyful and ongoing attention -
I remembered you had sometimes tried to call me from a dream but could not get through,
You had in waking life difficulties with the technology so this was nothing new,
Nevertheless it indicated somehow you hadn't felt heard for which I gave comfort and with love reassured,
I think now that you had wanted to tell me of the spiritual quest you were making which was not yet for me to see -
Nevertheless this morning you handed the dreaming phone to me,
And in the telling of my account I lost focus for I had too much to say,
I did then quiet the mind and listen to your spirit in a deeper and meaningful way,
And as I spoke no more I saw that I was stood upon kitchen cinders -
You asked me to pass the cooking pot which I pulled up from these and gave to you,
The cinders indicate my grief following your body-death and my spiritual struggle to carry on through,
The cooking pot traditionally stands for wife and for home, the ambivalence of cast iron here for none so strong in love as you,
Its perfect condition in brightness tells me you are well and our love in togetherness across the realms too -
That the pot was clear and unsulied sky blue confirms our loves devotion, heart's honesty, faith, wisdom and trust,
And the colour in this case indicates the third eye chakra telling that my psychic perception is growing robust,
This dream communication symbolizes the loving spiritual tranquility that between us continues to flow,
And initial dismay over daunting imagery is swept away as inner self accepts what I already know -
From your heart of loving kindness you have reached across the realms today,
And having given into your divine tender care the sky blue cauldron of our happiness I pray,
That I may now perceive more of the communications which from your loving heart you share,
Thank you my beloved for all your wonders and for your love beyond compare -

A Dream Decoded -
This dream was a very potent and powerful dream, full of William Blake style imagery illuminated with light and presence. It had its own momentum and did not feel as though it was self generated or drawn from the components of my daily life, but that it moved rather like a drama through various points intentionally. It employed imagery and tropes that are not common furniture in my life ( we have no such cooking pot and nor have I seen any like it) nor in my current reading (Jane Roberts ). It spoke directly to a number of pressing emotional and spiritual concerns however and left me feeling very engaged, enlivened and empowered. These aspects convinced me that it was a direct message from my beloved wife now crossed over into spirit.
Some of the symbols used however were quite startling in their imagery and potential ambiguity, which I presume was why they were chosen. To be attention grabbing and memorable, rather than soft and gently flowing into forgetfullness as the morning unfurled and the wakeful mind of day concerns swept them away.
I explain the symbols employed in this dream here;
Whilst dream interpretation cannot be a perfect science as despite general themes, the actual interpretation will always be person specific because we each construct our own meanings and nuances for every symbol. Despite this precaution, I offer my interpretation of the symbols used in this dream because they are drawn from among the more widely accepted possibilities of meaning and these readings resonated for me with this dream.
The trope of burning a letter to send its message to the departed one is a quite well known procedure in contacting the spirit realm according to contemporary myth and legend and as such needs no further explanation. It was a surprise to see this method employed here however to denote that my poems had been sent and received, but it makes perfect sense too. All the poems are after all letters of my love to my beloved, they are also bridges to the state of love which is found within and yet stretches onward for infinity. I share them for the purpose of discussion with any who have similarly experienced and perhaps to give hope to those who might be at a more clouded point in their own situation.
The use of a telephone in a dream is potentially problematic as this is often thought to represent trouble in communication. In our case that we already had actual problems of the same nature physically as well as Wendy having had dream troubles telephoning me previously, indicates that the form employed for this aspect of the message was relevant for us. It did serve to focus my attention to see what the matter might be in this dream and the following experience of my many selves united to whom I was speaking suggested that Wendy's message was to be made very clear to all of my aspects of character, self and soul. That I am loved, completely.
The use of cinders in a dream can also be problematic. Apparently if you merely observed the cinders it is thought that you can expect a temporary setback in your present plans; but if the dream involved shoveling or handling them in any way the forecast is for improved times ahead. In our case as the cinders although observed 'in passing' were not handled nor featured suggests that the negatives of cinder association were left behind. This is an important aspect for me as regards not wanting any setback in my present plans, which are entirely about developing a stronger awareness and contact with my passed over wife and in fulfilling my life's soul plan so that I can join her in the spiritual completeness.
In a dream a cooking pot, which is generally used to cook liquids and so the association leans more toward the feelings, represents one's wife or beloved, livelihood and home, while the lid represents the husband. If the pot looks to be in a good condition in the dream, then it represents his nobility and honor. I am glad to say that our pot was in great condition, literally perfect and had its lid firmly on.
Dreaming of a cooking pot can also symbolize your attempt to overcome self limiting ideas (such as those which might block awareness of spirit) as you move toward fulfillment. This aspect would be specifically relevant and key for us/me as you can see in my above comment regards connection with my wifes spirit and fulfilling the soul plan.
That the cooking pot was cast iron - a fact made very clear to me without words but by almost audible knowing, indicates one's untapped resources. Potentially you need to gain a better perspective or wider view on something or are ready to heal from some emotional hurt or wound. This would be particularly relevant for me, to hand over my emotional grief and mental anguish following my wifes body-death, to her ascended self in spirit, that from her spiritual postion of greater insight and freedom she can guide me onward. At this point in my current life grieving process, I am indeed in need of her guidance to follow.
In regards of the unusual colour of the cooking pot, whilst murky or darker blue can symbolise grief or sadness, in our dream the blue was a very distinct and bright sky blue. As blue is the color of the sky and the skies are associated with heaven, the color blue is also a symbol of high spirituality and as lasting as the skies are eternal. Light blue in particular is related to healing, understanding, softness, health, peace, relaxation, wisdom, devotion and sincerity...
All of these are wonderful aspects for my path, we couldnt have wished for a more perfect dream cooking pot.
That I was able to bring all of my characteristics and aspects together, to 'listen to/interpret' her message, that I retrieved the light blue pot of healing, health and love, from the cinders of my often overwhelming emotional grief, and handed them to my now non physical - spiritual beloved for her care, indicates that we are deeply reconnected after any perceived breakdown in our heart and soul connection following the trauma of body-death and absolutely fundamental loss for me/ illuminating spiritual transcendence for her. It suggests that she is in spirit watching over me now, with her love to guide me ever on.

Hesiod ( 'he who emits the voice') was an ancient Greek poet from around 750 - 650 BC, around the same time as Homer. We learn from Hesiod that he was taught 'song' by the Muses.
(Theogony 22). ( Source = Project Muse).
The three original Muses (later tripled in the Greek pantheon to nine) are Aode, Mneme, and Melete. They originated from Boeotia, the home area in ancient Greece of Hesiod. As daughters of the Gods, the Muses are naturally divine and often depicted as angelic women with wings.
Wendy is my most beloved Muse of love, bringing me messages of faith, hope and joy as we continue our spiritual adventure together ❤️❤️🌺✨✨✨✨
