Thought I'd update again.

 

Adam's job interview went well, he's going there on Tuesday to take a weld test. They basically just want to see his abilities, I tell him all the time that he's the best welder I know. Granted, I don't really know any other welders, but I know my baby is very talented. He might get a slight pay rise to what he's earning now which is always a plus.

Thanks to everyone who sent him good wishes.

 

It would seem that you all have differing opinions of mediums and whilst some of us are a little afraid, others openly embrace them. I most certainly do think that its a pretty cool gift to have though. Still, contacting the dead might freak me out a little. I like watching Ghost Whisperer, but I wouldn't want to be one.

 

Ok, I promise this will be the last thing I say about weddings for at least a week!

Ideally, I'd love to get married in Florida. If you've ever been there, you'll know why. It's just beautiful. And I'd only want my immediate family (as in parents and siblings) and closest friends to be there. And flying out to Florida is one way of ensuring that! But small and intimate is just more my speed. It'd just be so afraid of insulting someone if I got married here and didn't invite them. Trust me, I wouldn't want to spend 10,000 on a wedding. I'd make the cake myself or get my friends mum to do it. And take a course in flower arranging and just do as much myself as possible.

 

Lisa (warts & all) asks whether i'll be moving or Adam will be moving. Well, he's trying to move over here for a little while. Its not easy, but he wants to experience living in another country. And also, i'm not ready to leave my family just yet. But ultimately, we hope to live in Florida in the not so distant future. I'm sure i'll get used to mosquitos.

 

The other night I had this dream, highly confusing so I can't really explain it all, but it scared me. Really scared me, to the point that it woke me up and just freaked me out about being home alone. Out alone. Or awake whilst everyone else is sleeping. guess who sleeps with a bat under her bed now!

 

Well, in this dream two things stuck out, so I looked them up in a dream book that my mum has. I don't know much about dreams but i thought i'd share.

First part involved Adam (though it wasn't Adam, if you get what I mean) asking me to marry him and showing me a selection of engagement rings (crap, i said no more about weddings). Which in itself isn't that important but later there was a riot of kinds and my first priority was to save the ring, even over saving my little brother who might have been in the riot. So i looked up rings.

 

A ring appearing in a dream usually signifies a relationship of some sort. A wedding ring suggests a union and a promise. A ring belonging to the family would represent old traditions and values. An engagement ring suggests a more tentative promise of devotion. An eternity ring would be a long-term promise. A signet ring would indicate setting the seal on something. A bull ring suggests and element of cruelty.

We all need some kind of continuity in our lives, something which gives a sense of long-term comfort. A ring holds this symbolism because it is never-ending and is self-perpetuating.

Like the circle, the ring signifies eternity and divinity. The Whole.

 

 

The second part that stuck out involved being chased by a crazy person with long knives and I was trying to run home before he saw me and attacked me. So I looked up being chased.

 

Dreaming of being chased or of trying to escape is perhaps one of the most common dreams; usually we are trying to escape responsibility, our own sense of failure, fear or emotions we can't handle.

 

Then I looked up knives and swords.

 

A cutting instrument in a dream usually signifies some kind of division. If we are using a knife we may either be freeing ourselves or trying to sever a relationship. If we are being attacked with a knife, it indicates either violent words or actions may be used against us. In a woman's dream this is probably more to do with her own dear of penetration and violation, whereas in a man's dream it is highlighting his own aggression.

It can be important in a dream about a knife to notice what type is being used. For instance, a table knife would be interpreted very differently to a swiss army knife. Both are functional, but the former would only be appropriate under certain circumstances, whereas the latter might have a more universal application.

A symbol of division. Possibly a 'joy division' in the spiritual sense. That is, although we are on our way to achieving what we want at this time, it is not making us particularly happy, sp there is confusion as to which road we should have taken.

 

The sword in dreams invariably suggests a weapon of power. We may have the ability to create power and use energy properly through our beliefs.

The sword symbolises justice and courage as well as strength. For the image of a sword to appear in a dream indicates there is an element of the warrior in us, and that we are prepared to fight for our beliefs.

Spiritually, the sword signifies the power of authority and protection. In dreams to be given a sword signifies that we have the protection of the sacred. We are able to make our own decisions.

 

 

Sorry for all that long stuff. I think I can take little bits of what was said and relate it back to my life. I think that often dreams are really powerful in the sense that they can convey to us what we're feeling and trying to suppress.

 

Ok, I'm whittering on. I don't suppose I've a whole lot of stuff going on. I'll be in Florida in about a month, which I am looking forward to. Everytime I visit Adam I wish I could hop a plane to Kansas or Ohio to visit Terry Ann or Lisa Jo. I dont think I'd ever have to travel North to see Lisa (warts and all) because she'd much rather visit the UK.

 

I think i'm having trouble with my kodak software because it hasn't been letting me transfer pics to my comp. But I updated a whole load of stuff yesterday so if it works now i'll take pictures of where I live and show you guys. I love looking at pictures and seeing the US, gives me an overwhelming longing.

 

Have a great weekend guys.
