This was the end of a series of dreams, this is the one I remember, the rest had all faded.
A 'Narrator' said... "Now go down the path that goes only one way-I thought the path was interesting enough that people would want to visit it."
I did.. walked up the path.. a well manicured lawn, with a curved pebbled path, leading to a fence and a door. I knew there was a different exit, once you entered.
I came to a tall fence, it looked different close up than it did far away. There was a sign I read... When I saw what was in the backyard, I got the feeling that it was a 'special' place indeed. A huge walrus was in a lake-sized pool, in a couple's backyard. I knew the walrus. He had a huge sized empty dish soap bottle in his hand/flipper. It was his favourite toy and he loved it. The walrus saw me and I had the feeling that I knew him from a long time ago. This was all very pleasant to me. I told him that I was sorry I hadn't visited in a while, I would've come sooner.
The woman of the house came now, she was older and kindly, beautiful and wise. She knew with a gentle understanding what I meant. She had a chart of her interests on the sign ( which also talked about the structure that housed the walrus, the care and tending of him, etc... ) The chart said she loved astrology amoung other things.
My husband was at the bottom of the hill/path still. he came up now. Her husband was inside, and I felt I knew him. She saw how tall my husband is and commented that she'd forgotten.I got the sense that they had worked together before somehow. I was convinced I knew them years ago, there was a familiarity... with them and their walrus. I thought it was neat and unusual for a couple to accomodate a walrus in the middle of a town, In a huge pool they'd built for him. The walrus was very childlike and playful. I swear the walrus could talk, but I don't think he did.. I just knew that from the lat time. I got the sense that this couple was 'special' The kind of people you can just tell are good.

The end.

Hey Pixelpixie, The walrus in the pool was great!!! Sounds like something I would do. I sense It's a very creative dream.

Have you or do you feel like you have completed some inner work recently? I'm not sure if that applies at all, just want to ask and see.

That walrus is a very peculiar symbol. Any idea where that image might have come from pixie?

Still thinking about it ...

Completed? No. Undertaken, explored? Yes. Will I ever complete it? I doubt it. Nothing feels finalized, in fact I am struggling still with same issues, just in different ways. One day I'm like "This should be the answer, therefore it is." The next day? "Yeah...mmmm... no, not what I want.. um.... how do I redefine this?" It is hard to explain. I feel ......... unresolved.

The walrus thing? I am the walrus, coo coo ca choo. 50 First Dates, there was a walrus in that.... other than pop-culture references, I don't know how the walrus showed up in my dream, nor what he represents... he theme is definately one of grandness..... He was huge. Had a huge 'toy' in his hand. Huge pool. The kind woman commented on the tallness of my husband...... The walrus was playful and childlike but wise and very 'smart' seeming.
I sor of analysed how it seemed to feel.... at least everything pointed to the inner struggles regarding my attitudes toward marriage.... some I have overcome, some concede, some supercede. Revolving emotions. Or... my raction toward my comfort level with the things I expore.
BUT... "A path that is interesting... no exit, except a different way."....... A nice, solid couple.. could be the type of woman I'd like to grow into..... as I age, and she was with her husband still, and found comfort in herself and her hobbies and her marriage. She was a kind soul. She was familiar, as if I knew her.... and him.... but the walrus? No clue. All in all, it was pleasant. It was.
What do you think?
Are Walrus's horny?

Ah, I enjoyed that one, 'Pixie! Very interesting. I thought about what it might mean, but haven't come up with much that you haven't thought of yourself. the fence seems important to me. A fence keeps things in, or out. Why would the lady and her husband be fenced in, or you out? Maybe their yard is a special place inside yourself that you don't visit often (maybe for a good reason). Or a destination, something you are striving for. The couple could be you and your husband, in the future. The dishsoap bottle seems like it might be a key to cracking the riddle -- but what could it mean? A symbol of cleanliness? It also seems significant that your husband came up the path after you. Maybe you are leading him somewhere? Just thoughts, ideas, but maybe they'll spark something, you know? I can't wait to hear what Ra has to say.

Do you know? I am going to leave this here as a rant, because I need to, and I focused intently on something today that feels like ..something. a bit of a face for the oddness I feel about my life. It is kinda' long, but it is more a rant than anything, so as long as I purge it, that is what matters to me.
I am married. For five years. I love him. I am the first one to build him up and support him. Maybe I don't accept everything, but I do a good job of trying to understand........ If ever he wants to do something, I am his champion. When he was laid off, I was worried, sure.. but I said.. "Why don't you go back to school, pursue what you really want, and I will work more if need be." I am giving and supportive.. I suppose this is the way I want to be loved back, (acceptance and belief) and so that is what I put out there.
Today, one of my best friends at work was worried. I adore her and would do anything for her. Granted, she is my friend, I know no limits. Her daughter is undergoing minor surgery ( for diagnostic purposes) and will be forced to wear a cast for a while, and must stay in hospital for the day..... This is occurring on Tuesday. The blessed child is such a darling angel, and I am one of her favourite big people. She's one of my favourite little people. Her mom, my friend, was saying she wanted to buy her a movie (13 going on 30) for her stay in the hospital, but that she wouldn't have a chance, as she was working all day (9-10:30) and was bummed, as she was looking forward to surprising her daughter with it, during the hospital stay, to take her mind off the surgery. As her friend, naturally, I thought to myself... well, as soon as I get home, I will buy her the movie, and surprise her at work with it.
The very thought warmed my heart.
These two beautiful women are having a hard time of it, and what's a movie to me, when I know it will make their day.
I excitedly told my husband in the car on the way home.
He poo-pooed all over it.
"Can't she buy her own movie?"
"Doesn't she live right next to that store?"
"My car needs to be looked at soon, and I don't get paid until Friday... do you have to do that?"
*********************************************

This Makes Me Cry.
I feel guilty for wanting to make someone else's day better. How twisted is that?

Bottom line. I support him in anything. I am the first to kiss him, say "Good job!" "I love you." "You smell great"
"I love those pants on you." *slaps ass*
I am a very supportive person.
When I was sad a while back, and wanting to pursue my art more fully, because work stuff just got me down, and I wanted to be creative again... he basically poo-pood all over that.
His practical nature puts my whimsical one in a choke hold, and he is winning.
Although I do believe HE will lose in the end.
There is more, but all in all, he is good and nice, and generous with some things. But in different ways than I am.
I am sad.
Maybe this works with the dream somehow. I did feel the need to post it here.

Vulnerability passed. It's all good.
Long chat.. opening somehow, it was good.
Sorry to post my feelings here.
Until next time this happens,(which it will, we can't go against our basic natures) I am solid with him.

Pixelpixie,
Don't you feel bad for posting your feelings here. If you can't get it out in some way, it can eat away at you, and that will be bad. I'm glad that you have such a nice hubby who will talk to you about such matters and that you two can sort things out together.... HORRAY for good men and healthy relationships!!

Thanks Ghani!
Yeah, I am glad we can talk about it. We simply can't at first, I told him I was shocked by his reaction, My perception of how I assumed he'd respond was entirely different than he did in actuality respond. I told him I was feeling disillusioned, because I see him as a nice easy going guy. I wanted to help someone in such a small way, but in a meaningful way. He questioned my generosity. I tell him... Doing things for people is a way to express your love for them... if there is a lack in their life, you fill it. That's what you do.
I assumed he would feel the same way, not question my need or desire to do that. I didn't think it was a big thing, but it really is, in the face of it. I'd like to think that I am with someone who wants to help people.. not charity, per say, but if you have proven yourself.... if you are my friend, I will do everything in my power to show my appreciation. I will help, within my limitations. I simply wanted to share this with him, not become saddenned that his immediate reaction is to not want to help out of goodness.... that he is so caught up in practical concerns that the real stuff... the spiritual, the lovce, the generosity the help... goes unnoticed. When I explained it to him, I said.... Whimsy will always lose in the face of practicality. You can't measure opening your heart, or what impact you make in small but considerate ways. But you can measure the bills being paid on time.. you can measure your car repairs... they are tangible things.. so by our very natures, we think differently.. fundamentally, there are huge differences.. I can't justify that feeling I get when I just kniow things will be okay. I can't measure this,nor my sense of spirituality... but I know without these things in my life, there is nothing else. and if a $15 vhs Movie makes the difference between a mechanics bill, then what kind of a place is this, anyway. I can't justify those feelings.. they are just there. My immediate reaction would be.. Good! Make someone happy. His is WHY???
So I can't help feeling that his very nature stifles my very nature. But at the same time, On the face of death, when you leave this world.. do they honour you for the bills you've paid? Do they say... oh, he always had enough money in the bank!
No. They say He was always generous. He was loved. He was appreciated. He will be missed.
It keeps coming up again and again. Never ceases to make me sad. I just have to guage how important is it to me........
The important thing, I can say.. is that he did understand what I meant. He did try, and make an effort. It was projection on my part... what I thought, compared to what was real. I can't truly blame him for that. But it will come up again.
*SIGH*
I am still rehashing.. I probably wrote too much, but well.... I know you will not judge here.

I hear ya sister. I have a similar situation, as I am a crazy Aqua girlie, with Aqua in my 11th, and most people would think I'm whimsy too. And my boy is a level-headed Libran who doesn't quite understand that I like to go braless, collect interesting rocks (well, bucketfulls), spend hours taking all my jewelery apart and putting it back together (like all new stuff!!), and watch cartoons on Sunday. He doesn't like to go for walks with butterflies, visit the beach just to put his knees in the water, or go eat at funky cafe's on the waterfront and hear live reagee music. It's annoying, and sometimes frustrates me to no end as I am always on the go, wanting to see the whole wide world and taste/see/smell everything. He's more content to play pool with his friends, play games on the internet, and just watch movies or tv. all the time. But there is such a sense of peace with him, it's like having a stabalizing agent around all the time, someone to keep me on the ground when I start to float away. And he is much more clear with his emotions, they are somewhat static and balance out my often flighty, changeable ones. Ah, I digress... (not really, I just like saying that!!!) It's hard sometimes, to feel a bit stifled, and it can get to the point of utter aggrivation, but there's something that brought us to our men, and lest we forget, there's something that keeps us together....
And I know what you mean about doing things to make others happy, it always feels good to do something small to brighten someone else's day. : )

I have some thoughts on your dream, Ms. Pixie. I've had them written out for days. I just have to find enough time to type them out.

Well, Ra, like I said, I'd be happy to bunk you up here, and you can dictate to me.
But I suppose if it's my dream, you could just ..tell me.

For real, though... no rush.

Hello Ms. Pixie

This is a very peculiar dream. I can't say that I've completely figured it out, but the symbols all seem to point in one general direction. In fact, what I have in my notes is very similar to what paras and yourself have been thinking about.

It appears that you are being guided (the narrator) onto a path that is dealing with growth, growth of a controlled or well-tended nature (manicured lawn/path) that is leading you into secret or hidden aspects of self (backyard/fence/door). Indeed, the place is 'special' - your own personal unconscious (lake-sized pool).

Since it is a creature of the sea, and the sea can symbolize the collective unconscious, I am assuming that the walrus has to do with movement of energies/material between and within the collective unconscious, your personal unconscious, subconscious, and conscious awareness. He is kind of like an aspect of Mind. Seems complicated, but it actually makes sense in conjunction with the other symbols, and after all the essence of the mind is grand and wise and child-like. There is something here about being cleansed, something within being cleansed, in the past tense as if it has just happened (empty dish soap bottle), but I cannot put a finger on it.

The woman of the house feels like your higher self, or a guide - someone familiar to you in a spiritual sense. It feels almost like a spiritual reunion of sorts, a re-connection with deeper parts of self or with those forces that drive your material existence, which includes some sort of cosmic or karmic cycle/influence (woman loved astrology).

As pertains to your latter comments, the dream could be saying that you will first need to walk the path of growth, delving into deeper parts of self, "cleansing" them, and your husband will follow.

Seems you are doing just that.

Like I said in the beginning, this is not the whole meaning. There is something I am missing, I just cannot quite grab onto it.

Oh, and there are many similarities to your dream about the well. I don't think I ever really worked on that one, did I? I'll have to go back and look. Maybe it will shed some light on aspects of this dream.

"I will revisit it later"... why yes, I will!!!
I was thinking about this dream today. So I wanted to go find it, and here it is... I had forgotten the 'rant' I'd left here....
You know, there are such reasons for leaving emotional trails behind.. be it a journal, or a posting board... it was interesting to read where I was at five months or so ago, and revisit my emotional state, seeing what progress has been made since.
Interesting.

I m still befuddled by Mr.Walrus.......

*and thank you for your help, Ra and Ghanima ( and paras, wherever you are .)

Mr. Walrus...
"Carrying on, laughing in the face of impossibility and dreaming the implausible... so few dare to tread that path, but the ones that do live life most truly and fully."
Also... Sexual prowess. The choice is yours!
