Turning dreams around

It is four years now that life is on the road.
That the beautiful house in Cadaques, Spain, was left behind and status became as that of a nomad.
Living often in the Fuso Szulc expedition vehicle but also with family, friends and in hotels.
Home became where the campfire is burning.
And that can be anywhere which is perfect.

This life-style is deeply enjoyed.
Very interesting, fascinating, eventful and instructive.
There is no urge whatsoever to change the current way of living.

But there is one thing though.
For two years there are those dreams.
Disturbing dreams.
Always about houses.
How a house is visited to see if it suits to live in.
How a house is looked for and cannot be found.
Dreams about living in a house and not finding certain rooms.

Always about houses in combination of a feeling of frustration.
Of uneasiness.
Of being disturbed.
Of feeling desperate, hopeless and lost.

These dreams got very annoying.
They would make the day start with a bad mood.
They would unbalance the happy life of the constantly traveling person.
But most of all, the dreams could not be placed.
Why were they manifesting themselves?
What was the meaning of these dreams?
What was the message the subconsciousness was trying to communicate?

For some time it was believed that the dreams were saying that consciously it was all very well to live without a home and permanently on the road, but that deep down inside there was a fundamental desire to have a fixed place somewhere nevertheless.
The believe in this explanation became so strong that even a real estate agent in La Paz, Baja California, Mexico was requested to look for a house to buy.
Believing that if a house was owned the dreams would stop.
Because that deep down desire would have been satisfied.

The idea was that to own a house would be enough.
That there would not be the necessity to actually live in it.
That simply having a house would stop the very disturbing dreams.
And life on the road could more happily continue.

And then a miracle happened.
This new person that recently landed in the pioneering photographer's life knows a lot about dreams.
She studied this subject.
When she heard about these recurring disturbing dreams about houses,
after some reflection, she gave this explanation:

the subject in a dream is always the dreamer himself/herself.
So, do not think it is about a house.
It is about yourself.
For example, when you dream you visit a house and go from room to room, it is a way of a dream to tell how you check out your own personality.

There was much more she explained about certain dreams about houses described to her.
Fascinating stuff and each time the message and conclusion was:
it is not about a building, it is about yourself.

It was a drastic new way to see those dreams about houses.
The spotlight on the dreams changed completely.
The perspective turned around from narrow to wide.

And guess what, after this new way of understanding of these dreams they vanished totally.
They have vaporized.
Run away for the wisdom of the interpreter of dreams.

What a relief!
What a joy!
And what a progress in the process of spiritual and personal growing.

Therefore, on your knees, you infidel, and say at least thank you a thousand times to this helpful and healing new friend.
And cancel the real estate agent.

I suspect that there's nothing like having sex regularly, to straighten out one's dreams. :-)
