So today was the second day of Grey School's 2010 Illinois Conclave (lovingly nicknamed PopCon) and I had the joy of meeting Dean Stonetalker at a guided meditation session.
I thought I'd walk you through it.
Dean Stonetalker walks us through the introduction to the meditation and beckons us to a grove. We have a guest, an animal.
It was a deer, with glowing red eyes.
Dean Stonetalker continues to tell us the guest has a message for us.
The deer continues to stare wordlessly.
Our guest has someplace to take us. Dean Stonetalker encourages us to follow our animal guest.
The deer hesitates. It eventually leaves the clearing, just past the treeline, where downhill awaits the seemingly endless landscape I escape to in my private meditations. For these two places to be physically connected would be impossible--the landscape is vast. I see it placed in front of me despite knowing this would be impossible in the world of reason.
We return to the grove, and our guest has given us a gift.
The deer regurgitates a large iron bullet, round, about half the size of my fist. It looks nothing like a bullet, but I know it to be fired from a gun.
We take the gift and return to the realm of normal consciousness.
The significance of this I don't know. I'm sure it will become clear in due time--meditations have a way of doing that. But for now, it's a genuine enigma. I have no idea why a deer, and I have no idea why an iron bullet.
Dean Stonetalker was absolutely great, gave me some ideas. I was kind of hesitant in the meditation because, to be quite honest, I just don't go that deeply into trance. In fact, I wasn't entirely sure I had gone into trance at all, maybe that I was just following along with the Dean's words and picturing what came most easily to mind. But I heard the others' stories and they seemed pretty vivid.
Even now, I'm starting to make sense of it all.

humm... let me see...To see a deer in your dream, symbolizes grace, gentleness, and natural beauty. It has feminine qualities and may point to the feminine aspect within yourself. It also represents independence and virility. Consider the symbol to be a pun for someone who is "dear" to you.
ReplyDeleteIf the deer is black, then it means that you are not acknowledging or are rejected the feminine qualities in you. You may not be in tune with your feminine side.
To see a bullet or bullets in your dream, indicate anger and aggression directed at you or someone else. You need to be cautious on what you say and do. Your actions and words may easily be misinterpreted. Alternatively, the dream may be telling you that you need to "bite the bullet" and accept some difficult situation.
Hope that can help but Im still not clear on Grey School's 2010 Illinois Conclave is?
