Subject: The Unconscious Dog.....

A beautiful friend of mine, Ebony, had to come to stay with me in Australia. I was staying with my Mother and sister in Brisbane. (I actually live in Sydney, my sister has just returned to Brisbane.) My mother was nagging and being mean to me and to Ebony. I begged my sister to try and placate Mum as Ebony had only been visiting a day and deserved better treatment. (My sister communicates and gets through to my mother infinitely better than I ever do/will).

Next we're at a vet surgery where a dog is on an operating table. It has been given anaesthetic. The vet asks how we're going to pay for the operation which is $700. The dog is actually Ebony (actually I think the dog IS HER!)

We look through her handbag and there is no cash but a credit card. The vet says we can't pay with that because she can't sign it because she's under anaesthetic. So the vet brings her back from unconsciousness. She's still in the form of a dog, a New Foundland.

The cause or need for an operation doesn't appear to be an issue any more.

The next day Ebony and I leave for France. I'm sooooo happy to be going. A feeling of tranquillity, decadence and happiness sweeps over me.

Notes:

Ebony is French. I met her living in London. She is in fact Ebony in skin tone. I lived with her in London. She's beautiful charming and honest - a twin to Naomi Campbell (without the temper).

Ebony always has problems with money and over spending.

I don't have a credit card and haven't been able to get one since getting back because of apparent instability in my country of abode.

Hi JuliA,

It is nice to meet with you again. Thanks for your thoughts on my dream. He is inspiring me beyond even my own imagination, so you are probably correct.

With regards to yours, I have been thinking about some things. I'm not really able to piece anything into a coherent chunk and because you have so much going on, there are parts I have missed but here are some things I noticed.

You seem to have such reverence for Ebony and perhaps some frustration with your mother. Are you presenting your mother in you (maybe that person who judges and yet won't budge from old ways of seeing and doing things) with this 'beautiful' side of yourself to no response?

And the Newfoundland dog...any feelings on dogs or Nfld? Is the 700 number significant for you? A telephone area code? or part of your street address? or a combination lock?

What country are you from that is causing credit card difficulties? Is it London or France -- the ones you mentioned?

Sorry. I don't think that was helpful at all. I'm hoping that maybe the questions will move you to say something that will unravel more.

Looking forward to your thoughts. Angela.

Hi Angela

Thanks for your thoughts - I too haven't been able to put together anything coherently, although symbolism is sticking out here and there - its a dream that obviously requires action so I'm anxious to get to the bottom of it. Your thoughts are helping.

Your are right, I do have a lot of reverence and respect for Ebony in waking life too! She's full of integrity, grace, doesn't take crap and generally gets whatever she wants.

Yes!!!! my mother = judgement that makes sense! I am judging myself alot at the moment, both emotionally and financially - because I perceive that I'm not changing quickly enough and letting go of old ways!!! thanks for that! a few habits have been repeating (one's I should have left behind in London)!

The mother part of me doesn't want to 'let me off' for anything at the moment. Newfoundlands - gentle giants!!! I've always wanted one. A friend of mine has one called Amity and she's beautiful. Amity = Black/Ebony!!!! too! Its funny things start to unravel when you write about them!!

I hope the number 700 isn't a significant 'amount' coming up for me because I'm not financial at all at the moment. I thought the 700 = 7 was a symbol of restrictions. 7 is a number that restricts you and makes you learn lessons before the abundance of the 8.

"What country are you from that is causing credit card difficulties?" I couldn't get a credit card in London because I hadn't been there long enough and now I'm having the same problem since I've been home - apparent 'instability'!! is the reason. I don't have a CC - Ebony did and she used to run it up to the hilt all the time - but juggled it so that she always made payments. I'll have to work on this bit because I don't think I've "got it yet".......

Thanks Angela!!!!

Hi Julia!

Have a look at "Vet" being a dream pun on 'vetting' something (i.e. editing, moderating, restricting sense of 'vet') and at 'NewFoundland' being a dream pun on what is new-found within you. Notice you say you can't get a credit card because you keep changing which country you live in: then have another think about why the 'new-found-land' might be 'vetted'.

Just some input to help you unravel further!

Hi Julia, missed you.

OK, an overall impression... Your judgemental, even abusive part is really making it difficult for you to connect with your beautiful, charming, honest self. You go to a vet because Ebony is ill, her problem is solveable, but only if she can get some "credit".

Are you having a hard time healing yourself because you're letting your judgemental side hassle you instead of giving yourself the credit you deserve for being a good person? It seems the dream might be telling that you must trust yourself, maybe remove something (surgery) in order to heal.

Can I just tell you how easy and effortless this enchanting website is!!!

Thanks for your thoughts on 'vetting'. I do seem to be editing, moderating and restricted in so many areas lately. Things are changing though. What is 'New Found" in me? so many things and they seem to be 'found' due to the restrictions!!! Thank you.

LIBRA LYNN - YEAAAHHHH YOU'RE BACK!!!!!!

Missed you too!

Thank you so much for you comments they hit the nail on the head.

Thanks Angela, Libra-Lynn and Jane - the dream has had a real impact on me and I've also decided that if I do spend some time now and in the ensuing weeks, giving myself some anaesthetic (meditating) and going unconscious I can begin to heal and unlock some of the stuff I'm going through. Healing is something I hadn't been consciously aware of but its obviously needed.

With Jane's help I also think that I have been "vetting"/ restricting myself too much and in particular a lot of my new found self since I've returned home. I think there's also been an issue of not fulling letting go and relaxing and realising my potential and newself since I've been home (Australia after relocating from London) because my life has been in a state of flux since my return. I've been in a temporary home, my work has been that of a "Temp" since I've been back and relationships have been very temporary. Time to lay roots?

The interesting part is me leaving with Ebony for France - Her homeland! where we were both (even though she represents a part of me) very happy.

I'll re-read and meditate on this some more. Thank you all!!!!!

Love & Light

JuliA

p.s. Jane the forums feel amazing.

Hi Julia, I agree with all of the above and to add a bit I was a bit concerned that you fled to France! Flight or fight came to mind. Hope you aren't bullying yourself too much or not being assertive with the cranky, dominant side of self. Maybe who you really are is not being appreciated enough by you and therefore others. Persevere and be kind to you! ps the $700 immediately made me say out loud "James Bond"...strange but true!
