  • What are you still holding?
✦  TODAY IN DREAM SIGNS
One question
Short today. Take it to bed, and take the book to the weekend.
I HAD THIS ONE TOO
❧
🌙
❧
TODAY’S SYMBOL
FRIDAY, 14 AUGUST
Dear friend,
It is Friday, so this is short, and I am not going to explain it.
The question came out of the week rather than out of anything I read, and it is the one I have been avoiding myself.
Read it, then close this and go and do something else.
It works better if you do not answer it now.
 
The question
What are you still holding that nobody asked you to hold?
Not the things you took on for good reasons, and not the ones somebody would notice if you stopped.
The other kind, the one you picked up so long ago that it stopped feeling like a decision.
That is all of it. Take it to bed.
If you want something for the weekend as well, Alice Robb’s Why We Dream is the one I hand people. She is a science journalist who got into lucid dreaming on a research trip in Peru, and the book stays honest about how much is still open, which is rare in this subject.
✦  CARRY THESE WITH YOU TODAY
I can set one thing down tonight.
Nobody asked me to carry this.
I will know by morning.
Tap the one you need
✦  WRITE BACK
Two things tend to turn up overnight, the thing itself and the person you were holding it for, and I want whichever came first.
TELL ME WHICH ONE
Back on Monday, with a heavier one.
Sleep well,
Dream Signs
 
P.S. Somebody wrote in the middle of the night to say the pen by her bed had run out, which I am counting as the practice working. If yours has run out too, tell me what you missed. She has since found a pen.

Dream it. Sign it. Live it.
