I was reflecting just now on the word for "dream" in Romanian. It is "visa", which means both dream and vision and to an anglophone looks like the name of a document that allows you to travel between different countries. I've found, in many life passages, that the right dream vision can be exactly that: a travel visa that gives you right of entry to a different culture, even a different world.Robert Mosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09231870716685877709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-925549664214256461.post-75284103273913235572009-10-10T15:38:18.976-04:002009-10-10T15:38:18.976-04:00Robert,

I was intrigued by the words you were given for your lesson in Romanian (along of the lines of no coincidences) and wondered what story or poem could come from them. <br /><br />Leanne.Leannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18119814834479755378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-925549664214256461.post-72733615095057143642009-10-09T21:33:34.831-04:002009-10-09T21:33:34.831-04:00Hi Margie, Barbara and Patricia - Grand to have yo...Hi Margie, Barbara and Patricia - Grand to have you with me on my current adventures in Eastern Europe! Margie, I must note that - viewed on the inner planes - vampires have nothing much in common with Stephanie Meyer's teen glamorpusses, though no doubt those ones are popping up in contemporary dreams, since personal dreams and cultural icons constantly intermesh and feed each other.<br /><br />Worldbridger, thanks for the word-picture of Mother Bear ready to defend her cub. As you know, the she-bear is a fierce defender (who needs also to be ready to protect her newborn from male bears in the wild) which is why ancient warriors and contemporary mothers and healers do well to call, specifically, on Mother Bear.Robert Mosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09231870716685877709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-925549664214256461.post-31704277702307740122009-10-09T21:24:56.797-04:002009-10-09T21:24:56.797-04:00Diane - I am so glad you were able to reunite that...Diane - I am so glad you were able to reunite that wolflike dog with its person. The juxtaposition of your post with Patricia's one about hearing a wolf named as "Beloved Dog" is very interesting and perhaps confirming. Wolves are highly social anomals and one of their gifts is to be able to read who is who in a group, who is sick and who is well, and so on - and this is a gift they bring to those who connect with them deeply.Robert Mosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09231870716685877709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-925549664214256461.post-74456702894601399242009-10-09T17:06:01.635-04:002009-10-09T17:06:01.635-04:00Thank you for all these wonderful sharings of your...Thank you for all these wonderful sharings of your travels. Although I was particularly moved by your references to Bear, and greeted a young bear in my backyard recently, I found Wolf demanding attention as I drove in to work after reading your posting this morning. First I experienced a dream recall and then a coincidence regarding Wolf.<br /><br />As Wolf knocked, I recalled a very recent dream fragment in which I had to make a decision about who - either Bear or Wolf - could best advise/teach me about a specific something (which I don't recall). Within the dream, I remembered a dream I had many years ago of a grey Wolf staring into my eyes as a powerful, wise teacher. Without dismissing Bear, I welcomed Wolf, who seemed the right choice for this specific purpose.<br /><br />Next as I drove along, shortly after remembering the dream, I spotted a black dog running around on the side of a busy highway. It looked like a wolf. It was dragging a chain that had snapped; no houses were near by. I and another motorist stopped to help her. To make a long story short, I was eventually able to reunite her with her person. Her gift to me was the light-filled expression in her golden brown eyes as she looked into mine.Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02877662692937041007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-925549664214256461.post-27181701201177449682009-10-09T16:59:05.591-04:002009-10-09T16:59:05.591-04:00Hello Robert,

Wolf has been big for me for a long time since I first met him in a workshop long ago. He came as an image of what my 'shadow' might look like and it frightened me until I realized that I needed to make friends with him. So I asked him his name and he gave me a word that was totally unfamilar to me. After years of searching it was translated into 'Beloved Dog' and he has been that for me ever since. He comes with me into tricky situations and is a steady, watchful companion. Thank you again for the journey<br />Patricia from OzPatriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05236863286312188694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-925549664214256461.post-85374573895206735762009-10-09T12:51:46.884-04:002009-10-09T12:51:46.884-04:00Not last night, but the night before, my wife and ...Not last night, but the night before, my wife and I watched a mother black bear perched on top of the fence bordering our property, protecting her cub who was thirty feet up in a cedar tree. Something on the other side of the fence was hissing and growling at her. It might have been a racoon, but I'm not sure what it was. Whatever it was, it kept her on the fence longer than we could stand on our deck and watch.<br /><br />Such beautiful black fur.Worldbridgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02411263354180821936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-925549664214256461.post-7348343478624131492009-10-09T07:59:02.530-04:002009-10-09T07:59:02.530-04:00As Seashore noted, I feel like such an "accid...As Seashore noted, I feel like such an "accidental tourist" in this vicarious round of travel. Interestingly, before I read this about the bears descending into their caves I was reading a detailed post on "environmental graffiti" about the caves at Lascaux, France which also mentioned the Dreamtime. Animals, caves, and dreaming ... I wonder where this will lead?Barbara Butler McCoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06250129625281645201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-925549664214256461.post-47327778071287475142009-10-09T07:46:23.438-04:002009-10-09T07:46:23.438-04:00Each day I feel as though I'm travelling abroa...Each day I feel as though I'm travelling abroad from my desk chair. Thank you for taking us on this trip with you & sharing their history. I know that your family & friends will be happy when you are home, but that means that I will have to purchase an airline ticket! The bear cave sounds like a possible future portal and your bear song is a powerful one which has assisted me before. In either language, I'm sure it will be appreciated. Also, you probably knew this, but one of the latest hit collection of books (movie too)is the vampire "Twilight" series for young adults.<br />MargieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
