Since the beginning of this month, water has been appearing in my dreams:
my parents and I were atop a seaside cliff with big rolling waves and way below, a sunlit lagoon with white sand
coming upon a small puddle that an intimate group of people and I started to playfully jump in, only to find it contained a baby gator I frantically began to run away from
hesitantly announcing I am going to take a bath then sharply being told not to take a bath and instead to take a shower, later ending this dream segment with locating where the public pool was
my parents trying to manage a cleaning appliance that was spurting water everywhere while apologetically asking me to help
an image of a running toilet that cut to a scene with my sister and a friend who were tasked to swim to a sandy patch inside of an open cave to fetch something necessary to eventually help my brother
Water-element showing up in various ways, from grand to seemingly insignificant, has me wondering what it’s helping me to move through or what it wants me to pay attention to. The associations with water that I’m making include emotions, cleansing, ebb and flow, eddies and whirlpools, depth, intuition, feminine energy, and conduit.
In Chinese astrology, this is the lunar year of the Water Rabbit - could this be the last hurrah of amplifying the energy of water before we move into Wood Dragon?
What feels true for me is that I have been feeling a lot of stuckness in the cavity of my chest, like water dammed up behind a moat, and it’s churning with irritation to be released. Once upon a time, that moat was excellent protection and is no longer needed. Now, this water is rolling, lagooning, puddling, bathing, showering, pooling, spurting, running, and even contains the thing that needs to be fetched to provide aid. Am I being guided to find ways to release the stuckness, possibly pent-up emotions? My hunch is the stuckness is both ancestral and inner-child-related.
That’s where my initial thoughts are at this moment. Since presencing these thoughts, will water continue to make an appearance throughout the remaining days of December?
