I woke up this morning, again disappointed, when suddenly I remembered dreaming the following:
I am visiting some friends, a couple (although I have no idea who they are in "real life") at their home. It's a very spiritual household and we get together to explore the various aspects of spirituality. On this occasion, I see someone new there - a beautiful statuesque black woman, dressed in a loose African-style long cotton, bright red, dress and her hair is wrapped in a scarf matching the dress. She is a presence in that home, but keeps herself apart from us, just moving serenely around. Eventually I conclude my visit and leave, still not knowing who she is.
Some time passes, and I come back and now find that the couple has moved into the background and this woman is more prominent. She is wearing another dress, again of African style, this one with large floral print, but also predominantly red. Her hair is long, black and in beautiful ringlets. I get a quick glimpse of it as she winds another scarf expertly about her head. There are also more children in the house, children who are occupied happily with all kinds of crafts.
I know there is something very important going on here. I recognize that I need to speak with this woman. I wait for an opportune moment and approach her - this feels like coming into the presence of royalty, and I resist the urge to kneel. I ask her, as she warmly holds my hand, if she would consider teaching me. The moment passes, and she's just an ordinary woman again, telling me that since this is now her home, we would have lots of opportunity to get together and talk. I react with surprise, since I did not even know that my friends were selling the house or were planning to move. The surprise also passes quickly and becomes a non-issue. It is She who is important now.
There is also a very faint memory of flying, but I don't know if it's part of this dream or another one.
