Dreaming in Pisces

By Elle Dooley

At the end of the day, I give into the need for rest.  My muscles still, my brain slows, and my body replenishes its energy, repairs cells and tissue. I restore myself.

I drift in the liminal space between wake and sleep. I am anchored loosely by the moments of my day, points of memory, glimpses of the future. As my eyelids fall, I begin to move through spaces that resemble nothing. Time is distorted. Shapes shift.

I am sleeping but the dreamer is awake.

I do not dream aspirational dreams, like those I have in the daytime, from which I design and celebrate achievement. These are the dreams that transport me into the collective unconscious. I embrace ancestral spirits that hover on the edge of lucid thought, whispering their wisdom in my bones.

Dreaming. It reflects the depth and spaciousness of the Piscean energy fields. But I find within myself a great resistance to writing about surrender into that liminal space. What is swirling in the collective unconscious? These days, I am afraid to dream. In the words of astrologer Dana Gerhardt, there is terror in the collective. I am filled with fear. And I am not alone.

I move myself away from these thoughts with deep breaths. Refocus. Find a path to the field of hope and transformation. This is the both/and of Pisces, the tension of opposites. The dream of terror and the dream of transformation.

I feel very vulnerable, sharing fear and darkness, putting it into our shared space.  Does this resonate with you in any way? I would really love to know.

On a lighter note, here is something luscious from Wicked Obscura, suggestions to join with Piscean dream energy.

“Dreaming within Pisces is a dance of intuition and creativity, allowing us to access deep soul wisdom that guides our spiritual evolution.”
