INITIATION AND REBIRTH

By now the dream is fading and only a couple of images remain. What has stayed with me very strongly, though, was the feelings this dream left behind:


I am trying to find a young couple in a large park - they are performers, and all I know of them is that he will be carrying a guitar and she will be dressed in white.  In my search, I run into a middle-aged woman who urges me to suolcceed with this task.  She is tall, slim, very toned and fit, her hair is salt-pepper in colour, wiry and long, and she is dressed in an outfit that is deliberately ragged, as though she is clad in branches, leaves, fur and feathers of the forest.  I acknowledge this and her by bowing to her, and continue my search.  


It is not easy, because there are a number of couples that fit th e description, but eventually I find them.  I do not know how I recogniz them - something simply jumps out from them, and instantly the Woman appears.  She whisks us off to another place, one that is deep in a forest and built high among the branches of tall trees.  It's more than just an elaborate tree-house.  It's also a scientific laboratory.  To one side I see a huge cage suspended by strong vines, and within the cage are two animals (I think they were some sort of felines), wild and feral, that pace and growl.  I understand instantly that they will be released after a certain ceremony is performed.


Suddenly, I feel gripped by pain that ripples through me, and I recognize this as labour pains.  I see that I am now dressed in the same wild outfit as the Woman, who is helping me sit down.  On a level below me, I see the young lady in white also shudder.  


I do not understand it all, but do know that I am experiencing something miracleous, like a deeper Initiation and Rebirth of my spirit.
