8 April 26 Wednesday -commune i had a very involved dream this morning, but had to rush off to work, and forgot to bring my physical dream journal with me to remind myself to at least jot down some notes. so i'll start writing and see what comes back. i remember a lush green courtyard and a series of beautifully-appointed rooms connected to each other, perhaps with archways. i know there were people living there as a sort of commune, and that there was a small group of people all romantically involved with one another. there was a tall, somewhat thin old man with frost-white hair and a pinkish complexion who greeted me. i think he said something equating to the idea that he would be the one to go through if i were to be accepted into the group. the energy behind his words felt unassuming and factual, and welcoming in a neutral way, rather than lecherous or domineering. i know there was more...an older (but not old) woman... i might start to remember as i fall asleep.
