Water spout and mushrooms

[fairysmom]

I dreamnt that my daughters and I were walking in the river that my father used to take me rafting on as a child. We had to walk in the water since we were at a part where the bluffs were at and no way to get up stream without walking in the water. The sky was all clouded over like it was getting ready to let loose a big storm. Suddenly a water spout started chasing us. So I was telling my 2 older girls to hurry up and run while I picked up my littlest and carried her. We finally got to a spot where some rapids were and went up on the rock beach (there was a lot of mining done along this river during the gold rush so there are miles of large piles of rocks all over). When we finally got up there I noticed that there was hundreds of large mushrooms. So large that my children who are 5 and 8 could sit on the caps like they were cushioned stools. I told them not to eat them. Then my 5 year old sat on one and it started to crumble. I told her to get off of it and then I woke up. What do you think?

A river is the path of life, and reflects our pace through it. Whether fast or slow. It can also reflect our state of mind. The bigger a problem looks, the wider and deeper it will be. Re the emotions, it may reflect their state. The river may seem calm and smooth-flowing on the surface, but with turbulent undercurrents. White water rapids can be a real state of turmoil. A river is also a mental and emotional barrier to be negotiated or ’bridged’. Dark water is mystery, unknown and hidden meaning and purpose. And

A storm also indicates turbulence in thoughts, feelings, and emotions. The onset can be the build-up [prelude] to an emotional outburst/outpouring. The waterspout indicates the same as the storm. It may also be powerlessness to deal with, understand, or confront them. Both spout and storm can also be a release [maybe sudden] of physical, mental and/or emotional energy.

Rocks can be positive and negative. A symbol of stability in a changing world, a focal point or anchor. Certainties. The river and spout maybe the world around us and all its contradictions and conflicts and confusions. We might not know which way to turn or lose our bearings. You are trying protecting your family from all this uncertainty and chaos. The rock helps us.

Gold is something precious, things we hold dear - to be valued and treasured.

Mushrooms can be edible or poisonous. It is sometimes hard to know which. This means a difficult choice or risk. But is it worth taking it?
