Dreamworlds

From the Rider Marseille Tarot, the Moon; from the Ostinato Oracle, the Note:

There's something happening here

What it is ain't exactly clear

—Buffalo Springfield

The Moon has eclipsed the sun, creating a murky world of ambiguity. A crawfish - a symbol of the subconscious becoming conscious - begins to leave the water. Researchers believe our dreams help us process our emotions. The brain encodes and constructs memories of our feelings; what we see and experience in the dream isn't real, but the emotions attached to them are.  Our dreamworld is like therapy, taking the sting out of our emotional experiences, so that we can learn from them. A Note indicates both pitch (how high or low) and duration (how long) in music. It guides us, showing us what comes first, then next. Once we have identified our troubling emotion, we can learn to manage it, perhaps through journaling, identifying triggers, mindful breathing, or cognitive therapy. Just take the first step and see where it leads.
