Burning away
Jul. 1st, 2010 01:21 pmThe dream did continue from last night. It was short and sweet and science fictiony, but it was fascinating enough to write down.
The people in the house lived in a four-person marriage: Roy and Gabe were married and Kitty and Diana were married, and they all called each other husbands and wives and there was one giant bed and they shared everything. It was one of the best family units I'd ever seen. Everyone was a magic practitioner, because that was the world of the dream.
At one point, I was sunbathing at the pool and talking to Gabe while he treated my bruises, and I asked if I could go back to my husband and my cats soon. Gabe smiled and said that my husband had been looking for me. They called him the Rogue Mage, the Winter Lion. Whispers along the practitioner circles were that "The Winter Lion is searching for the Summer Rose and he might kill anyone to gets in his way." I asked about my cats. Gabe told me that my cats were currently being transported to the mansion so they could be with me, and when Adam arrived he could stay here too. The family had a "habit" of taking in stray practitioners, but Adam and I would be the first ones offered a permanent home. Our townhouse would be paid off and taken care of and Adam could continue working at his job, but we would also be getting a kind of trust fund.
Diana arrived with snacks, and informed us that the Winter Lion had been getting telepathic messages to come this way. Apparently, Kitty had been leading him to the mansion to make it easier. She said he was carrying both his sword and mine, and that the swords had become legendary, and that I, known as the Summer Rose, had a reputation for peace and healing and that was why they had to keep me safe from people who would want to exploit me. Roy arrived and said that it was time for me to start training on my wild magic, but since I didn't have my sword I would be using a blank replacement. I didn't really care, I was too excited to know that my husband and my cats would be coming soon.
I stood up, and suddenly got very dizzy and started to crumple to the ground. Gabe and Kitty reached for me. I closed my eyes, and when I opened them I was lying in my own bed, no longer dreaming, and the intense migraine was still throbbing.
I got up and took an Excedrin and some Valerian, and tried to go back to sleep. Rose noticed I was awake and curled up near my legs. It took about twenty minutes before I fell back asleep. It was two in the morning. I don't remember if I had any other dreams.
I have no plans to leave the house today, other than the daily walk around the neighborhood. Adam will be home tonight from New York. I am also feeling reclusive and too much in pain to have intelligent conversations. The flare is ongoing. I just need to keep writing, keep exercising, keep reminding myself that there are wonderful things.
