[QUOTE="greenrene, post: 617039, member: 9177"] I remember one face from the first dream, just a random person I knew in high school (random people from my past show up in my dreams all the time - I have little contact with people from childhood/college besides on FB). The positive presence in the dream was ME. I remember very vividly the lovely feeling of not giving a flying fig what anybody thought of my painting. Not sure about time of day, but it was light outside, I think. As to the second dream, that's an interesting take on it. My therapist suggested that the house addition with the ugly mess was me in my upbringing - I was meant to be beautiful, but my mother "ruined" me - I was seeing that the beauty was still there, just under a big mess that needed a lot of work cleaning up. Your landscape dream is fascinating!!!!! You said something else in your last post, something that Recovering has said elsewhere - "It is absolutely true that as we change, everything changes. Every single thing. Instead of shame at the echoes of the original wounding (which is the dynamic between abused and abuser) what I feel now is like the other person is missing a connection, somewhere." My therapist says that making the changes like we are doing is like being in a pool with everyone else in your life. When you start making changes within yourself, it's like starting to make waves, like you're jumping around with an inner tube. Everyone else in the pool with you notices, some may get mad and want you to stop making waves, some may think it's great and go along with you, but ultimately everyone is forced into either going along with you, or getting out of the pool.
