This is some very strange/curious stuff. I still have two or three other ones to type out from other strings and will do so as time allows.

This post is about your dream from January 5 (!!!) that is written earlier in this string. The information came from my 'other' source.
----------------------------

This dream is a mixture of memories and symbol. There are several experiences combined within the story of Amber and the little boy, the details of which are only secondary in importance. The central idea here is of Amber's activities and associations during the war, as mentioned before in previous dreams, and her search for answers.

As given, the memories here are accurate but jumbled. Part of the purpose of the unconscious mind in presenting these memories in this dream is not for memory's sake, but rather for the sake of clarifying the symbolic, as odd as that seems.

In that life Amber was German and served her country in the war. But her activities were certainly not limited to this! She was well aquainted with the English, French, and American forces, assisting in the activities of those nations within her own. She had a double, or one may even say triple, mind - at least. There was the German mind, the English/American mind, and the mind that encompassed both. This is the conflict symbolized by the dream, the split mind.

The memory in the dream sets the stage for the symbol, as she said "it became more dreamlike." The eagles are planes, both British and German, and they are also symbolic of those nationalities. They are also symbolic of freedom and "clear sight", or understanding. So, what we have is a division/conflict in her mind. She supports both sides, although at times she is not consciously aware of her interaction with either. More clearly, there were times when she was not aware of her activities with the Allies, and there were times when she was not aware of the depth of her activities with Germany, and there were some times (very difficult times) when she was consciously aware of both.

Securing the windows against the eagles is symbolic of securing her mind, her awareness, against the conflicting energies of that experience.

I know this is strange stuff, but, well, there it is. I am not sure what to make of it.
