I myself have come across a live skunk twice each time I was struck by how beautiful, gentle and sweet they were. Funny enough, when I receive my messages from skunk, smell never comes into the picture. For me Skunk really represents sexuality, allowing yourself to be free and expressive in a non-judmental comparative way. She also tells me to open up all my senses to the world around me. Sometimes we get caught up in only using our eyes to see, or our ears to hear. But skunk shows that opening up all your senses to the energies of the world, including your heart is the best way to truly SEE the world.
Thanks again Sydney for sharing your dream/vision with us.

I had another dream – well this time it may have been somewhere between dream and meditation – at least it had started as a meditation/rampage of appreciation as I was dozing off. As I got to “I appreciate all the possiblities before me” I got a little internal static reminding me that meant having to make a decision; having to choose…wanting all the possibilties to be doable now…choosing means risk of making the wrong choice of grabbing the least at the expense of the best…oh the rambling was damn near maddening. Then came the realization that having all those possibilities was still oh so much sweeter than being backed into a corner with no options at all. So I tried saying it again to see if it resonated any differently with me that time when all of a sudden I was in the dark on something like a pier or dock and noticed the twitching nose of something under a wall of crates…and then out shimmied a little skunk. It was probably the size of a young teenager (not a full size skunk but bigger than a baby) – it didn’t appear scared or agitated just rooting around about its business – not the slightest bit concerned or interested in me.
First I thought – oh sh*t while I’m over here dabbeling in all my possibilities there’s a huge stink bomb brewing up behind me. And then something said – not at all – as long as you’re not focusing on it and needling it – there’s no stink bomb at all…. in fact it only looks like a potential stink bomb to others.

So I’m interpreting this encounter as a reminder to keep my own counsel – continue dabbeiling and focusing on all the ‘feel good’ possibilities and quietly let that potential stink bomb saunter on about it’s way without concerning myself with it anymore than it is concerning itself with me.

Oh yes, I also believe it was a female skunk – though I’m not sure why.

Ok – now I’m off to go look up skunk and see what others have to say
Would love to hear everyone else’s impressions too

Snuggle up against the blustery day – and have fun – big hugs – l.ska

Thanks!

Here’s another interesting for you all; especially Coryelle – because you my dear had a starring role
I was attending some kind of gathering, like a house party of some sort. Feeling a little ill at ease because I didn’t know many people but not totally uncomfortable because I knew that it was a group of like-minded people.

I saw Coryelle sitting at one end of a couch next to a small snack table – and I was delighted to see a familiar face. As I sat down and we began chatting I was more than a little surprised to realize the “snack” in the bowl was dry cat food.
As I started to ask why were snacking on kitty food; and why had the host/ess put kitty food out in a big chip bowl – my partner woke me up because I was going to be late for work.

I tried to go ‘back to the dream’ that morning and again for a few nights but it had slipped out of my grasp…or perhaps that was its natural end.

So – thoughts comments – are you feeling particularly feline these days Coreyelle? – Any one else out there have any ideas?

Thanks – looking forward to comments – l.ska

The past few days have been mind blowing
In the past 3 days I’ve had two animal dreams and in both of them I’ve been bitten
What the name of heaven is that all about?
First dream Ray, our blind male Rottie, took my hand in his mouth and bit down across 4 fingers – didn’t break the skin but applied a tremendous amount of pressure and I couldn’t get him to release me; I also couldn’t manage enough sound when I screamed to get anyone to come help – I started banging the table with my other hand hoping that would make enough noise
Woke up before I found out

Then last night (or this morning) I was running in the forest approaching a clearing I often walked through, but this was a different time of day and as I approached I realized there was a huge herd of deer –easily 100 of them all sizes and ages. I tried to stop silently and quickly so as not to startle them. I slid down to the ground against a small hill. Of course they heard me and took off all together in the opposite direction. Then I realized that just by my head at the top of the small hill was a baby deer curled up (sleeping I think) – with it’s curled back of spots facing me… then all at once a large grown deer or horse (I’m think now it was probably a doe… probably the baby’s momma) came around the corner of the hill toward me and kept coming towards me

I tried to say soothing , reassuring things – then probably fearful things – in any case it came right up to me, leaning over me (I’d raised my left hand to my face at some point) and bared its teeth (that’s when it looked like a horse to me) and chomped down on my index finger. Again, I don’t think it broke the skin and I woke up before there was further resolution

It feels like a message is desperately trying to get through to me but I haven’t a single clue.
Does anyone have any thoughts about this?

Can’t wait to hear people’s thoughts – all-tingley with anticipation – Syd
