"If the river flows clearly and cleanly through the proper channel, all will be well along its banks." - LAO TZU
(Morning of 12/28/11) Dream: I’m in a large park. There are enormous trees with thick trunks and roots. There is a crippled cat on top of scaffolding who has been given mechanical wings to fly. I happened to live in a canopy bed near the scaffolding in the middle of a shady lawn. The sheets kept getting shat on by the birds – not excessively, but who wants to live in poop? I was concerned with changing the sheets. The scientist who built the cat’s contraption was a bit creepy - tall, lanky, older, grey haired, the crazy scientist. He wore orange and he also had strange wings, large, dark and rubbery. He hugged me. “Took me under his wing” was the feeling. His right two fingertips were brightly stained from peeling an orange earlier (I could smell orange too) . People across the park were sitting in a circle and motioning to me that he was a “creeper.” I knew he was creepy, but at the same time I wanted to see what knowledge he had to offer. He came off as a pedophile science weirdo, but he also had an air of safety around him. He wanted to give my cat wings.
It is known that in the dream realm, a bed is considered the bridge between the conscious and unconscious, a womb, a source of power. Wings signify freedom, no limitations. By waking the spiritual consciousness, there is nothing one can’t achieve. Orange is the color of energy and of happiness. The orange fingers, the orange clothing, the smell of orange, the strange male, pedophile yet safe - are all associated with 2nd Chakra (sexual) energy. I’ve noticed stagnation in my first 3 chakras lately, so this dream is significant for me. Orange chakra is creeping, slow, blocked with karmic clutter. My feminine energy is robotic. There is more significance, but I digress.
Chakras haven't been the most popular Western subject, although it's gaining credence. I am self taught in regards to chakra balancing and I must share something that crossed my path today, since it will be visually helpful in my daily practice and parts of it oddly correspond with my dream.

If you are beginning or would like to build upon such practices, I recommend any guided meditations by Jonathan Goldman. He will teach you how to use sound vibrations to vocally tone the chakras. You can find him here: Healing Sounds
