Festival of weird dreams
Oct. 24th, 2004 12:23 pmThe first one took place in my attic (which I have never been in, but had been thinking about investigating after going up on the roof yesterday). It is apparently very spacious and well-kept up there...sufficient for doing a dionysia-type ritual. In an unlikely turn of events, however, I was the presiding priest at the ritual, or possibly even aspecting Dionysios. This seemed so bizarre that it actually woke me up out of my dream. I resisted the urge to go open the attic through the closet to see if there were people waiting for me, however.
In the second dream, I was taking part in, of all things, a moon blood ritual. I had been asked (by
saffronhare?) to do the opening blessing at the ritual, which somehow involved about 93 small pottery cups half filled with barley. When I got to the end and had extra, I had to divide out the remainder evenly, except for the cup I was carrying, which had to be more full and also had something like rose madder mixed into it. This also woke me out of a full sleep with it's bizarreness.
P.S. Sorry about the multi-post there... LJ is having some issues with the cluster my journal is on. Seems to be settled down now...
