Dreaming in the Misty Mountains

Ten withered outstretched fingersreaching into the darknesspalms searching for the pull of the Ring.He waits in the darkrelentlessly holding on.I lift my soft, sensitive, loving skinto meet the ragged worn surfaceof his hopeless hands.At first he doesn’t notice the changingforce of palm to palm.I wrap my fingersaround the gnarled mountainsof his knuckles. Cling to himand the parts of methat I have also cast adrift. Meet us on the slopes of the Misty Mountains, get carried away in the slipstream and into the current of Dream. We didn’t know where this episode would take us. But of course, we ended up in the liminal. The eagle flying between the solar light of consciousness and the first sliver of the young moon. The hairs on the back of necks rising in the space between the lifting fog and the starless sky. The hesitation between being repulsed and reaching out in awe. We explore two dreams, one of Frodo’s and one of a listener’s.  We look for what is at threat of being lost. Where we can listen to inner guidance to point us to what we already know. How we can let our fingertips plunge ever deeper into the fertile soil of the Dreamworld. You can listen to the Dream Nidra from Lothlorien here.
