Healing Power Dreams #1

Healing Power Dreams – You’ve Had Them Too Right?

The first Buxton Deporter screenplay “Dreamriders” was started with a dream. It was a sci fi story about a young couple living in Studio City, California.

And other dreams became outlines for more sci fi stories.

A dream I had last night caused me to recall one I had about two years ago.  It started with me driving up a freeway which intersected a city. The freeway was bordered with much greenery, and all exits went to urban streets.

It was also bordered with parks and fountains and the freeway went up and down hills.

As I was driving I had an aerial perspective, looking for the right exit. Maybe I was viewing a google map or something. I was pretty anxious about getting the right exit.

And I got it, I thought. I turned into an underground parking lot and left my car. Then I got on a moving sidewalk and traveled underground until it stopped.

A tunnel led to a huge open space. It was a long ravine, with high red cliffs and a river snaking away.  Kind of like Sedona.

A large crowd had gathered and then an area that led into a cave, floored by the river, suddenly lit up. Tiered up the sides of the cave stood a choir, and they started singing medieval music, like Hildegard Von Bingen’s.

She was an abbess in France and she was a musician. A local abbot was jealous of her abbey’s choir and he condemned it to silence.

What a dick.

Anyway, after the music performance, I started floating over the river, fast, with the current. The river got smaller as the miles zipped by, and then dried up altogether.

Now in the sides of the red cliffs I saw lit windows, ten or more storiesof them. I saw people inside, living their lives. I sensed someone close to me was in there somewhere.

And I got a really bad feeling.

Evil was afoot here. I passed windows showing prisoners inside, being tortured. I couldn’t do anything!

Then I got the idea that this nasty influence was going to take over my world. A force pushed me back down the river toward where I’d come from, the theater area.

And this insidious force followed me. I couldn’t out run it.evil in dream

Here’s a weird part. I’m not religious at all. But, in the dream, I remembered a time when someone told me (not in a dream) that whether you were Christian or not, the idea of Jesus, or the spirit of Jesus, would dissolve any negative energy.

The person who told me that isn’t Christian, but his information worked! As I floated backwards I just kept projecting the idea “Jesus/God loves you!”

And the bad energy dissipated as I reached the terminal at the mouth of the city-end cave. I went back to the moving sidewalk and seemed to be on my way home…when I saw  my best friend standing there.

I told her “Don’t go out there. It’s beautiful but it’s a trap”. Then I woke up.

Well that’s a lot! I’ll keep last night’s dream for the next post. It is related, because it ends up in the same red rock ravine, but starts from the other direction.

Who knows if this will be a series, or, one day, a book!

Have you had a dream or two or three where you show up in the same place? A place you’ve never seen or been? Yet feels familiar?

Pray, tell us about your dream! You can write it below.

Ballet Dancer Surfer Girl

Sedona is a YA/New Adult sci fi fantasy.

Surfer ballet dancer – her posse includes a black lab, a pelican, a cousin with an evil twin, an old surfer dude, and a huge black bear.

The loyal cousin was raised with her like a brother. The old surfer

dude exudes calm and shares wisdom beyond anything she’s heard from the family therapist. With fewer words.

Why does the rest of the world seem to conspire against her?  Including herself, with high self expectations and relentless self reproach.

The Ballet Training Schedule

Sedona has reached the end of her junior year at her performing arts high school in Malibu, California. Almost…Exams are over but here comes the final dance performance.

Rehearsals are intense. Class is just – tense.

She has had a helluva year sans boyfriend of several previous years.

She also lost her best friend to that bf of several previous years.  Her eleventh grade year was bleak, and date-free.

Except for the piano music in ballet class at school, and the pounding of the surf outside at home, she doesn’t want to hear much from anyone anymore.

Not from the bratty bunch of girls , the stalking fan club of thecyber bullying rumours at school gorgeous guy she’s in dance class with. An old friend, a buddy since third grade. Those snarky sophomores waste the long  glares and cyber bullying tweets on her.

(There are guys who tweet around about him too. Don’t they now wish they were in that sissy ballet training class!)

And seriously, not from the sarcastic dance teacher who really has it in for Sedona most days. What is up with that?

Navigating through a simple conversation with The Mom can get – complicated! When a teen has to be vigilant to avoid the triggers that lead to frustration, anger, depression or worse, well, that doesn’t always work out right?

The Dad adores her and and supports her in every way. But not so close up and personal, like when she was little. Days long gone.

To stay busy isn’t a problem, even without a social life. Running on the

beach, surfing, cross-training (weight lifting, Kettle Bells, extra stretching…especially those ankle and foot joints) fills every day up.

What’s better r’n’r than binge watching Battlestar Galactica with the Cuz and the sweet supportive nanny (now general manager of the household only-reliable-person in charge)? With fresh popcorn and churros?

Even the pelican doesn’t poop in her world, unlike the bratties at school. Trained since a baby, he chills on the deck with the dog.

The best of life – surfing, running, binge watching – and dancing every day. All distractions from lost love, peripheral parents, and mean girls.

Best Ballet Summer Intensive Programs

Sedona can have her pick of any of the best ballet summer intensive programs. But her self-deprecating guilt has motivated her to work over the summer instead.

She knows she plays “poor little rich girl” in her head, way too much. Working in a hospice is her way of balancing life.

She can still keep up her ballet training schedule locally. Not that her summer plans turn out remotely like she thought they would!

Here’s a video of a Joffrey Summer School Intensive:
