Dream Journal
July 16, 1996
Context: I'm living in Berkeley for the summer.
I got a job in a little food place in a mall. The work came naturally to me. Some of the more experienced and relaxed workers asked if I wanted to go somewhere with them. I did, and this friendly guy took me for a drive to this arid place in Arizona that had an organization like the Berkeley Psychic Institute. The people there were friendly and immediately accepting. Rebecca joined us shortly afterwards.
There was a scene with a car driving over a small cliff. People were hanging out below, in an aloe plantation. I jumped down to join them, but realized that I was impaled by a cactus in the thigh. Concerned, the others pulled it out — like three feet of it! Then some others were injured and had to be fixed, but of course the wounds didn’t remain.
Similarities: This was just like the July 1st dream two weeks earlier! A big spiritual group in an semiarid place was accepting me as a part of the group.
The Arizona Group: So here I am, recently relocated to the San Francisco area. I get a local job in the dream world and then some coworkers take me to this group of people hanging out in an Arizona desert. Just like socializing in the physical world.
