Picking Grapes
1/26/82
Grace and I are walking through a valley at the foot of mountains with a young woman and a man. There is an airstrip. We are walking through thick ground cover. Others are in the distance. Is it a grape-picking festival? We have containers and we are gathering grapes. It looks like there are a lot of them.

Dream Commentary
If you could change this dream in any way that you wanted, as long as it respected the rights of all fellow dream group members, how would you change it?

Others: Fine! Sounds like fun!

Grace and I are walking through a valley at the foot of mountains with a young woman and a man. There is an airstrip. We are walking through thick ground cover. Others are in the distance. Is it a grape-picking festival? We have containers and we are gathering grapes. It looks like there are a lot of them. After we have picked all the grapes we can carry, we walk over to the airstrip. There is a hot air balloon sitting there, waiting for us. We get in and take off. As we rise and drift, we can look down on the beautiful valley below. It’s a gorgeous sight.
Waking Commentary
If you were this dreamer and were dealing with his waking issues – money, relationships, fears, career choices, physical health, spiritual development – would you do anything differently? If so, what?
Valley: Feel the nurturance and protection of your natural environment.
Grace: Take my innocence and child-like nature with me through life.
Young Woman: Recognize that hard work in service is closely related to spiritual attunement.
Man: Recognize that is a privilege to be a harvester and to be alive.
Airstrip: When you cultivate this attitude, the opportunities for enlightenment are more apparent.
Thick Ground Cover: Recognize the opportunities at hand. You have so many you stumble over them and sometimes feel frustrated. Don’t!
Grape Pickers: Use this dreamage as a pre-sleep suggestion.
Containers: Absorb as much of the bounty of life as you want and can. Enjoy!
Many Grapes: See every activity of your day as picking one of us in our valley.
Dream Self: I will use this dreamage pre-sleep for the next week.
