Shannon's OF 5.75G Experience

[Shannon]

GF reported trouble sleeping and/or staying asleep yesterday. I think she's been having that for the last 5-6 days probably. Says she wakes up several times a night. Obviously having challenges with the fears being worked on, but refuses to switch to listening during the day. Go figure.

Last night I had a dream, of which I remember but little. What I do remember was that I was examining pieces of bone that I had extracted from (myself? someone else?) and they had been coated in some sort of clearish light ambery gray substance I could see through that prevented them from damaging whoever they came out of. There were five of them, and I recognized one of them as being a section of femur, which could only have gotten into (me?) by the original owner being blown up and having that piece of them hit me so hard it got embedded. I don't remember if it was me or not, but I'll presume it was, since I don't remember anyone else in the dream. Anyway, this piece of femur bone was about an inch and a half long, from the center portion, and it was very jagged and sharp on both ends. All of the other bones were of different shapes etc.

Then I was on a bridge and looking through these planters that were on the bridge every so often, and trying to hide something in the corner of each planter to keep it safe for when something happened. I seemed to be trying to make backups of something by doing this. There was old fishing line in the planters and garbage, but no plants.

Then I was back to examining the bone pieces in their encasement. Marveling at how I could have ended up with these things in me. I think they represent old deeply buried hurts or fears which have been deeply embedded in me for a long time, which I could only remove after "making them harmless and inert". Interesting solution.
