New Year's Resolution

Rate: 1 Flag

My New Year's resolution was to be free. On New Year's Day I asked a dream-incubation question, "What is my freedom?" and had a dream where a man gives me a squirrel hanging from a stick. I see that it is dead and dip it into a stream, then mock the man who brought it. He leaves and joins a woman, and I motion, still mockingly, for them to return. They look at the house I'm in which I'm in, impressed--my rich Aunt's house in Florida, and I tell them, "We don't live here". We are living in the more modest house of my Grandparents in Columbia, SC.

Am I free from my childhood ideal of my rich Aunt's home? My Grandmother was very spiritual; perhaps that is my freedom. Or am I a squirrel at the end of his rope?

Let me hear how your New Year's Resolutions played out in dream or in waking reality.

I think you're a squirel hanging from a stick. no, just kidding, it sounds like a freeing dream.
Perhaps you're right. If the man is the puppeteer who pulls the strings that makes the squirrel dance, perhaps I am.
I am going to suggest to myself that I dream a resolution and see what happens...I imagine that your grandmother's house provides more freedom. I have always felt stifled by conspicuous wealth. I have felt very free in a state of poverty. But I think I feel most secure in the middle range, materially. In a sense, I have a love affair going with the middle class...
Thanks, Patrick, for beautifully capturing Budhistic equanimity. A great New Year's resolution!
