Today I had a really good day at work and I am convinced it’s because I wore a dab of Success Oil on each wrist. My husband got said oil several years ago from a Voodoo Witch Doctor in New Orleans. (He also got some white python snakeskin, to keep in his pocket “for clarity”.)
Anyway, the success oil smells kind of pretty – not at all hippy-patchouli – but rather kind of sweet and subtle. Since I’ve been having a lot of anxiety and sleepless nights over my job I thought it couldn’t hurt to wear some, and it didn’t. It was quite a stress-free day.
This makes me think that I should be checking my horoscope more often, to give me some kind of gage for the day. Hmm, here is my horoscope for tomorrow:
These are surprising times when even someone like you, who's in close-to-complete control of their intimate emotions, can be caught off guard. You, of course, won't believe that. You're confident of your position as master or mistress of all you survey. The good news is that if you can do what you already do best -- that is, sit tight and refuse to be manipulated -- you can hold onto that title, and add a couple more to your resume.
Hmmm … I’ll try to find time tomorrow night to let you know if any of that rings true. I refuse to be manipulated! That’s my mantra for Monday. I think it might come in handy.
Yes, I guess I sort of believe in Astrology, that is, I read my horoscope when I remember to, and if I like what it has to say, I believe in it, and if it’s something negative, then I find it all to be unbelievable.
What I do love and believe in is dream analysis. I mean, what’s not to believe? It’s just your subconscious trying to work out your problems while you sleep. I am totally addicted to
Dreammoods.com. Yeah, I know, it isn’t the prettiest website, and there are a lot of typos, but for the most part, it’s really right on.
Here is a dream that I had recently:
I am hiking along the bottom of a canyon along side a river. I am with a group of friends and family and at the end of the trail, we all get in a red car. They drop me off near the bottom of a hill, (near a shopping mall). I can’t remember how to get back to the parking lot where all of our cars are, so I run up the hill to keep the red car in sight. As I run up the hill, I notice that the hill is covered with frogs. They are all laying flat on the ground, not making any noise, but I know that they are alive and I as I run I am trying to avoid stepping on them. I reach the top of the hill, and the other side is a sheer cliff, but I can see the parking lot and the mall below. I’ve inserted all of the key symbolism:
To see a canyon in your dream represents your unconscious mind and hidden feelings. It may point to emotions and relationships that you did not recognize.
To see a clear, calm-flowing river in your dream signifies that you are allowing your life to float away and it is time that you take a more decisive hand in directing your life. A river also symbolizes joyful pleasures, peace and prosperity.
To dream that you are hiking, represents progress and achievement. With perseverance and strong-will, you will make it far in life.
To see a frog in your dream represents a potential to change or to do the unexpected.
To dream that you are climbing a hill signifies your struggles in achieving a goal.
To dream that you are running alone signifies that you will advance to a higher position and surpass your friends in the race for wealth. Alternatively, you may be running from some situation or from temptation.
To dream that you are standing on top of a hill, signifies that you have succeeded in your endeavors or that you have now have the resources to complete a task at hand.
Red is an indication of raw energy, force, vigor, intense passion, aggression, power, courage and passion. The color red has deep emotional and spiritual connotations.
To dream that you are standing at the edge of a cliff indicates that you have arrived to an increased level of understanding, new awareness, and a fresh point of view. You may have reached a critical point in your life and may fear losing control.
According to my dreams and my horoscope it looks like I am either all-powerful and awesome, or about to lose control. I must remember to wear the success oil tomorrow - and maybe I'll find that snake skin. I think I could use some clarity.
