Jerry,

The biggest thing that strikes me regarding the synchronicity with the appearance of the masculine (highly flavored by you) in this dream is this: I feel that in my having felt moved to look for your forum again to post my Excavation Work dream, I was following the lead of the masculine (archeologist) in that dream. Through then continuing to dialogue with my dreams here, a psychic connection was formed (if not already formed when I was posting dreams here years ago). I knew from when I was here years ago that you were/"are" intuitive - and I know that I am. I believe that when we look at the dreams of others, we are looking through a window into their soul. For me, this is a very intimate kind of sharing. I consider my dreams and the dreams of others, when shared, as something very sacred. Add heart felt compassion (which I sense in you) to that insight (seeing) and we have an alchemical reaction, which is nourishing to my psyche. I do believe the masculine in my dream is as much you as it is my own inner masculine.

This sharing is most helpful to and healing for me. My conscious self had no idea this positive result waited for me here, but I do believe the unconscious did.

I like what you shared about Joseph Campbell suggesting we look for the one hidden thing...

Your application of the numbers is enlightening. And I must note that they do fit for me. I truly do feel on the verge of very positive change/transformation in my life/journey to discover my true self. As I said in an earlier post, I have always been spiritual, but I have looked in many wrong places to find what has been right here inside of me all along. I have been working on healing (since the powerful kundalini awakening) for 20 years now. For the first half of that journey, I did a lot of seeking outside of myself (shamanic healer, guru, spiritual teacher, etc.). The last 10 years, I returned to the basics and simplicity of life, leaving all the rest alone. While continuing to work on my healing during the last decade, I also did a lot of bean sorting. This is me; this is not me, sort of thing. Really, really returning to my own self/Self. Separating the wheat from the chaff, so to speak. Since coming back to share my dreams here, I can honestly say that things are shifting in me. It is as though my psyche and my Self see my efforts to incorporate/move toward my next step through the action of my sharing here. There are so many things I can say about the spiritual aspect but will just mention just a few here. I have had many profound spiritual experiences/phenomena. My ego used to get really attached to all the experiences. I was filled with a lot of hubris. Part of what I have left alone for the past decade was my spiritual seeking. This was needed while I healed and matured more. Now, I am far more grounded than I have ever been in life and have spirituality in a much clearer perspective than in past years. The goddess is still with me. I can feel her smiling through me in this very moment. I have been moved to finally begin the work of writing my life story – and feel that the story is a universal one that will speak to many. So, your mention of it in the framework of “following my bliss” was/is experienced as a real affirmation to me. It is the only thing that will give meaning to the suffering my life has known…great suffering. I think that a greater sense of my wholeness will result from the telling of it. It is something I have always felt Life intended for me to do.

I am out of time to say more this morning, so will post this for now.

Oh, real quick: I am not sure if you looked at this. If I take your age: 6 + 9 and add to it the date of my dream: 1 + 2 + 2 + 0 + 2 + 0, we get 22, which is known as the master builder, among other things.

Kristi,
There is great evidence numbers do have meaning in dreams. Both Jung and Campbell thought as much. As much unconscious than conscious but that may be the natural connection with the collective soul and nature.

Then there is the number 9. As strange as that may seem when you are in public life the number 9 is more likely to be a part of our daily experiences than any other. I see the number 9 as representing the feminine and I believe the feminine is more powerful than the masculine {we are all feminine before development in the womb and taking on a permanent gender}. The goddess more powerful than the gods. The greatest feminine power in human life is the earth. We are all stardust so we all possess the same basic elements we would find in deeper outer space.

As to your 6 + 9 and add to it the date of my dream: 1 + 2 + 2 + 0 + 2 + 0= 22. One step further you get 4 {2+2} which in Jungian psyche represents wholeness. Numbers when taken to its fullest extent will always point to wholeness since it is nature's goal for wholeness and balance. Yet there is continuous chaos in the universe and what is true in the universal realm is true within the human realm. Conflict, what can you do about it when it is a part of all existence? The universe is expanding yet scientists believe it will eventually collapse within itself. The ultimate inner journey and the blueprint for human journey inward. When we are able to figure out the patterns that control the universe we have the outline of the patterns that govern life on earth. One follows the other. It is true it is because nature allows it to be.

Jerry,

Yes, I caught the wholeness aspect (4) embodied in the 22.

I do agree the the feminine is more powerful than the masculine. This is know from direct experience.

Your reminding me of this adds a very important element of interpretation to the dream, which rests in the masculine acknowledging what a remarkable woman I am. So, pointing me back to my feminine self, which your post has also done. Thank you.
