A DREAM, SHARED FROM DREAM

Village

Searching for a feeling you're already standing inside

THE DREAM, AS TOLD

Also ich habe geträumt, dass ich irgendwie so einen Traum, der sich ab und zu mal wiederholt, irgendwie in so einem Dorf bin. Ich weiß aber nicht, was ein Dorf ist, aber es ist irgendwie so leicht hügelig und da stehen so Häuser und da ist so ein kleiner, nicht Park, aber irgendwie so diese Straße, auf der ich mich bewege, ist so ein Viereck auf jeden Fall, sehr eckig und da fahre ich außen rum und es ging darum, dass ich Musik mit meinem iPhone suche in einer bestimmten Hip-Hop-Band und das finde ich aber nicht. Genau.

IN ESSENCE

I'm in a hilly village that feels calm, familiar, and close, driving around the outside of a rectangular street. I search my iPhone for a hip-hop song to share with the person beside me, wanting to transport a feeling — but I can't find it.

SYMBOLS

The village

You said it felt really calm, familiar, and close — and later you connected it to those rare moments of feeling complete, not looking for something else, fully present. The morning with your daughter and the dog was one of them.

The hip-hop band on the iPhone

You said you weren't really looking for a song — you were trying to transport a feeling of wholeness and calm to the person beside you. The frustration was about not being able to deliver that feeling, not about the music itself.

The person beside you in the car

You connected them to your partner — someone you want to bring into that feeling of calm and wholeness, even as you're both still mid-process in your own therapies.

WHAT EMERGED

Maybe the dream is about the gap between being inside the feeling and being able to hand it to someone else — you can't search for it and share it at the same time, and you're trying to give her something you're still learning to hold yourself.

Your dreams are talking to you too.
