the vermeer dream
last night I dreamed I was in a Vermeer portrait session.
an amber-colored atmosphere pervaded everything and it felt like being immersed in eternity.
the lady and the fig dream
last night I dreamt of a woman who was caring for a fig tree.
it reminded me of home,a long time ago.
the mountain goat dream
last night I dreamt of a mountain goat that turned into stone as it grew old.
it's really true that we become what we spend the most time with.
the burgundy art class dream
last night I dreamt of a fine arts academy in egypt and, getting lost, I found myself in a sculpture class and all the students were wearing burgundy uniforms.
their teacher was teaching them how to carve the most suitable shape from the stone they had chosen.
the menhir dream
last night I dreamt of a big menhir made of sparkling white stone at the center of the lake.
from the day it appeared, many people gathered to celebrate, pray, meditate, or simply contemplate around it.
we often went there as soon as we finished our work, and being close to him gave us a sense of calm and peace.
the monk dream
last night I dreamt of a young monk who spent his entire youth meditating by the lake.
as time passed, a beautiful pyramid-shaped headdress or white stone ziggurat grew around his head until it covered his entire face.
this is how meditation builds better and more organized structures in our minds, to elevate our thoughts. the concert for two nuns dream
I dreamt of a solo cello concert for two nuns whose faces were completely covered.
the therapeutic music transported them into a state of ecstasy and contemplation.
they tried to discover and decode the religious and esoteric nature of the music.
the chamber trio on the lake dream
last night I dreamt of a chamber trio playing the melody of an ancient dance on a lake on a moonless night.
three girls, a pianist, a violinist, and a cellist, submerged in mid-water, played this melody in ten beats that seemed familiar to me from other lives.
the fires on the lake dream
last night I dreamt of a party on the lake and white fires appearing on the surface of the water.
we couldn't explain how fire could live in water and when we touched it we didn't get burned.
that's how life is sometimes inexplicable and shatters our certainties.
