Megan Mary: Okay. So today we have Loree, and she has a nightmare which we are going to be examining and analyzing, and her title for her nightmare is uninvited guests in my home causing severe harm.

Megan Mary: I’m going to read you the entirety of the dream. and then we are going to discuss it part by part

Megan Mary: I was at home with my husband and our dog.

Megan Mary: Suddenly there was a tiny kitten sitting on our windowsill. I picked it up. It was so sweet. Then my husband discovered 2 more full grown cats in our bathroom.

Megan Mary: Our dog, who generally does not like other animals, didn’t seem to react.

Megan Mary: I went into our spare room, and a large dog like a Doberman, but light colored, was lying down on his side, legs stretched out sleeping.

Megan Mary: This all felt very strange to me.

Megan Mary: Then I see 2 people go downstairs into our basement.

Megan Mary: I told my husband I was going to find out what was going on because one of the women looked familiar. He stayed with all of the animals. I went downstairs.

Megan Mary: and our basement was transformed into a very abstract decorum that had many rooms. More people all around

Megan Mary: seem to be gathered at. Some sort of

Megan Mary: it kind of looked like an event space as I saw things. I can’t recall what they were, but they were for sale at a desk. There were couches and chairs and lots of rooms. Our basement is not this big, but the space its somehow enlarged and was transformed.

Megan Mary: I saw a woman I know and trust, and she was happy to see me, and was putting on clothes. It looked like she was leaving.

Megan Mary: It felt very strange, and was looking for answers.

Megan Mary: I also felt a little relieved when I saw her. I remember saying to her, Okay, I feel better now that I see you are here. Because I trust you. She agreed, smiled, and then she was gone.

Megan Mary: There seemed to be some commotion going on near the back of the place, and me and other women were told we needed to go to another room.

Megan Mary: I don’t really recall what happened then. That part is blurry, but I remember it felt like some kind of ritual was happening. Then we were suddenly told we must leave now for our safety.

Megan Mary: If we stayed we would be in danger.

Megan Mary: I had no problem with that is so. I was leaving. I walked by a room, and 2 older men were lying down. One said, I’m not doing very well.

Megan Mary: The other nodded his head, and then I felt the urgency to keep going. So I did.

Megan Mary: We all went outside. The 2 men stayed where they were. Outside. There was some kind of big vehicle where the people were all going. I saw a woman I remembered from my past.

Megan Mary: We didn’t know each other well, but her name came to me instantly. I asked her, are you, Cheryl?

Megan Mary: She said. Yes, I didn’t know you did this kind of thing. I asked her. What do you mean? Drugs, cocaine? She didn’t really answer me, but kind of nodded and went into the vehicle waiting for her.

Megan Mary: I felt an urgency to go back home and check on my husband. I expected that all long he was safe.

Megan Mary: and I wanted to tell him what I had discovered.

Megan Mary: As I was heading to my front door, some people drove up and were heading into the basement.

Megan Mary: For some reason there was a new entrance to it, and an older man, who seemed inebriated, asked me where to enter, and I directed

Megan Mary: them to the door I had left because I was anxious to get home. I didn’t want them following me.

Megan Mary: I came in my front door, and my husband was there. He had no shirt, his face was bloodied, it looked like his left nipple was open, raw, his left shoulder had a tendon hanging out attached to his side torso.

Megan Mary: He was breathing heavy, and said. Look what they did to Aries.

Megan Mary: I turned around, and on the ledge of our front entrance was our dog.

Megan Mary: His head was alive. He was panting, with his toy in his mouth, and the rest of his body was in parts.

Megan Mary: It was like my husband had brought all his pieces home but couldn’t put him back together.

Megan Mary: I screamed. No! And then I woke up.

Lorree Appleby: Hmm!

Megan Mary: That is a fabulous dream record, but not a fabulous dream.

Lorree Appleby: No.

Megan Mary: Yes, so where we’re going to start is at the beginning.

Megan Mary: and I want to look at each scene first. What’s happening in that scene?

Megan Mary: So you’re at home with your husband and your dog.

Megan Mary: and you see this tiny kitten sitting on your window sill. and you pick it up, and it is so sweet. So let’s talk about the kitten first.

Megan Mary: Tell me about the kitten and

Megan Mary: what it was like, and

Megan Mary: how it made you. What made you think over how it felt when you saw it?

Lorree Appleby: I guess. I was surprised, obviously, that a little kitten was in my house.

Lorree Appleby: Now what’s coming into me. In the past I have found a kitten, but not in my house, but outside, actually not far, and

Lorree Appleby: That was the cat I had before we had before Aries, and she died tragically because of me, accidentally.

which is another whole story. But So when I saw it I just

Lorree Appleby: it was I don’t know. It was sitting in some little like Mini tiny bed, and I just picked it up. And I was just like, Oh, my God, it’s so cute! But I was thinking, Oh, my dog is not gonna

Lorree Appleby: like this because he doesn’t like other animals. He’s, you know, he gets aggressive and afraid. So

Lorree Appleby: it was just strange. But also, like I was drawn to it.

Lorree Appleby: We’ll say. okay

Lorree Appleby: And I remember it was like a little tabby kitten. Yeah.

Lorree Appleby: yeah. And then suddenly, your husband discovers 2 more cats. But they’re full grown in the bathroom.

Lorree Appleby: Yeah.

Megan Mary: So take me back to when that happened.

Megan Mary: Did he say anything?

Megan Mary: And how were they different from the kitten?

Lorree Appleby: and our dog was there. But he wasn’t reacting. And

Lorree Appleby: I think we just both looked at each other like, what’s going on? Where are these? Where is this? I’m like Look at this kitten. And he, you know, saw we saw the cat, so we didn’t really say a lot. It was just we were looking at each other like

Lorree Appleby: what’s going on. And and then it all happened so quickly

Lorree Appleby: the cat like. First it was the kitten, then it was the cats. Then I saw the dog, and then I saw the people so it was just so fast that I didn’t really have a chance. Excuse me to have a reaction. Much of a reaction other than this is strange what’s happening.

Lorree Appleby: And and then it was the next scene, you know.

Lorree Appleby: everything happens all

Lorree Appleby: so everything happened so fast from one scene to the next, still seeing the kitten, seeing the cat, seeing that dog in the room, and then seeing the people, 2 people walking downstairs. It happened so fast that

Lorree Appleby: my husband and I were just looking at each other like what’s going on. You know. It was that kind of thing we didn’t really say a lot. And then when I recognized one of the women going downstairs, I said, I’m gonna go find out what’s going on, because I think I like. I thought I knew one of them.

Lorree Appleby: and it is that woman that you saw going down the stairs the same one that you then recognized no different. Okay, yeah. And I never did see her again.

Megan Mary: Okay, so

Megan Mary: what I find very significant about that is that the basement, of course is. It’s everything that is underneath. It’s the deep, dark depths of ourselves, and it’s the things that we we keep in the dark that we store way that we don’t want necessarily other people to know. And I think the fact that you saw a woman that looked familiar

Megan Mary: to you. It’s essentially part of you because you’re thinking I know her. Who is that? I’m gonna go find out who that is, and I’m gonna go find out what’s going on down there, and

Megan Mary: I do think that the the cats and the dogs at the beginning are significant, particularly because of the story that you told about the the kitten that you found prior and the feelings that you hold about that I think that’s very important but also that

Megan Mary: the the the full grown cats

Megan Mary: I feel like can can be representative of something, too. But I don’t want to say I don’t want to say too much at the beginning. And also what I really want to do is honor your association with things. So that’s what this is about is to draw out what it is that you associate with those things so that I’m not putting my own association.

Lorree Appleby: Yeah. So just the the way I associate is that our dog he’s 10 years old. He’s.

Lorree Appleby: you know. He just. He’s kind of spoiled, and he doesn’t like, he’s a threatened by other animals. So Just seeing other animals in my house and

Lorree Appleby: thinking, Oh, my gosh! Like this isn’t good.

Lorree Appleby: but him not reacting. And then being another, and and cats would be one thing like he would probably want to attack them. But a dog he would really lose it so. But that dog Was he

Megan Mary: right? You say that it was stretched out sleeping, lying on it’s side

Megan Mary: which is very much a unassuming. I’m not. I’m not here to make a problem thing. And your first reaction was, this is going to be a problem.

Lorree Appleby: Yeah. But it wasn’t. Yes.

Megan Mary: So I think that’s also very significant.
Lorree Appleby: Hmm.

Megan Mary: Now, when you start to it. Then you decide to go.

Megan Mary: Go find that familiar woman in the basement.

Megan Mary: but your husband stays with the animals. So this is you now going down into your depths to see that that familiar woman what? Who is she? I know something’s going on. I want, your curiosity. I want to go find want to go find this out, and you go alone.

Megan Mary: which I think is important. He he stays with the animals and the animals.

Megan Mary: you say. Later. I knew he was safe.

Lorree Appleby: I yeah. It never crossed my mind that was anything wrong, or he would have left, or anything. Yeah. And in normal circumstances he would be the person to investigate, not me, right? Right? Sure. And that makes perfect sense. So I think you’re going down into the basement.

Megan Mary: taking the initiative to go and going by yourself means that it really is your basement. It’s your your thing to that You’re going to investigate. So you go down into the basement, but it’s not your basement.

Lorree Appleby: it’s and you use the word abstract decorum.

Megan Mary: Let’s unpack the abstractness.

Lorree Appleby: Lots of bright colors, like kind of

Lorree Appleby: shapes, like, just very, you know, just hard lines.

Lorree Appleby: And it’s don’t really remember. I just remember very

bold and and bright colors. And

Lorree Appleby: and yeah, that’s all I really remember about that part.

Megan Mary: Was it a joyful, exciting place?
Lorree Appleby: It was kind of felt kind of weird to me like it was

Lorree Appleby: like reds and oranges, and bright like I remember reds and oranges, and I just remember I don’t remember exactly, but I just remember things look very

Lorree Appleby: like that, you know, that abstract kind of

Lorree Appleby: art.

Lorree Appleby: Yeah, it was just

Lorree Appleby: bright, and not bright in a good way. It felt strange. It felt odd, strange, definitely not cozy and warm or… yeah.

Megan Mary: yeah. Now, there’s all these people around. And they’re gathering for

Lorree Appleby: Umhm, yeah. And then I think I remember seeing something where there was, you know, in the store they have things hanging on like a a little thing, you know, swirly thing, I don’t remember what that was. I just remember it looked like there was things you could buy. But I don’t recall noticing what it was.

Megan Mary: Yeah. So then, you see this

Megan Mary: woman that you know, yeah.

Megan Mary: And that changes how you feel when you see her.

Lorree Appleby: yes.

Lorree Appleby: I felt relieved because I know her, and I trust her. And so I’ll say, Oh, okay, you’re here, and I felt a little bit like, you know. My guard came down a little bit.

Lorree Appleby: and I remember saying, Okay, well. I know you, and I trust you. And then she just kind of nodded and and then smiled. Then I don’t know. I can’t remember if we hugged or not, probably

Lorree Appleby: and then she was gone.

Megan Mary: If you were going to describe this person that you know in real life with 3 adjectives. What would they be?

Lorree Appleby: she’s authentic.

Lorree Appleby: She’s deep like she, you know, does that deeper inner work like myself.

Lorree Appleby: And she’s

Lorree Appleby: open to

Lorree Appleby: new experiences. Let’s say, yeah, adventurous. Maybe something like that. Yeah.

Megan Mary: And she’s putting on clothes.

Megan Mary: Yeah, what kind of clothes is she putting on?

Lorree Appleby: I, that’s vague.
Megan Mary: Okay.

Lorree Appleby: yeah, maybe

Lorree Appleby: some kind of top or shawl, or I’m not sure. Yeah.

Megan Mary: And she, it looked like she’s leaving.

Lorree Appleby: Yeah. yeah. yeah. And and that’s kind of fuzzy. She then she was gone.

Megan Mary: Now you say it felt very strange, and was looking for answers. You were looking for answers, or she was she left looking for it?

Lorree Appleby: And she just she didn’t say anything. She just smiled and nodded, and it kind of agreed with me.

Lorree Appleby: And then she left and then I guess she left. She was just gone, like. I don’t remember anything after that.

Megan Mary: and I feel that the aspects of that woman.

Megan Mary: are the parts of you that you should embrace the authenticness, the deepness, the open to new experiences, that your

Megan Mary: you’re afraid to go into your basement, essentially your metaphorical basement. But

Megan Mary: you are comforting yourself with her, what she presents

Megan Mary: which she represents, which is part of you. It’s the trusting, trusting your authenticness, trusting your deepness.

Megan Mary: feeling more comfortable with being open to new experiences, that she is reassuring you. You are reassuring you, and that she is there to to reassure you in the basement. At first

Megan Mary: you follow. You follow a woman who reminds you of something, perhaps yourself down there, but then you find this woman, and she, if you feel relieved, and that relief

Megan Mary: is an indication that it’s okay to enter that darkness, that it’s okay to

Megan Mary: be authentic and deep and open to new experiences, that

Megan Mary: you can do that. And and she’s leaving because she’s she’s leaving the basement. She’s going

Megan Mary: on that new journey.

Megan Mary: and you do, too, very shortly. With some urgency which is a good sign.

Megan Mary: So next.

Megan Mary: after she leaves

Megan Mary: suddenly, someone comes in and tells you that you have to leave now for your own safety.

Megan Mary: Do you remember who?
Lorree Appleby: First there was a like a

Lorree Appleby: I don’t, and this is where it kind of got vague is that

Lorree Appleby: near the back of the basement or back of the rooms. Further in there was something going on, and it felt like some kind of ritual.

Lorree Appleby: not a good one. But I don’t remember what happened. I don’t remember the people.

Lorree Appleby: The the only thing I remember is then it was I was there. And then, all of a sudden. It was like you were to. I was told that you need to leave now every we are all told, whoever the other people were I don’t remember that part. We were all told. You need to leave now.

Lorree Appleby: for your own safety, and if you stay it, it could be a danger. I forget. However, I put that with you.

Megan Mary:Yeah. You would be in danger to be in danger if you stayed
Lorree Appleby: and it was just like, Get out like, you guys, you gotta go now.

Megan Mary: But they were saying.

Lorree Appleby: Well, everyone, whoever was there. But I I don’t know who they were, and I just don’t. Yeah, that part. It wasn’t told of who was

Lorree Appleby: said, that or anything. I just know that was me and other people who were all there, too. all told that we need to go.

Megan Mary: So how did it feel to be in that? In that? In that place, when you found the other people doing what you described as a ritual.

Lorree Appleby: That’s where it got really fuzzy. Yeah, it just didn’t feel

Lorree Appleby: I think I kind of felt like I was going along with it

Lorree Appleby: at first, just to find out what was happening, and then it got blurry, and I don’t remember. And then it was all of a sudden, you need to go. Yeah. So that’s the part that really isn’t clear and never was from the beginning.

Megan Mary: Okay, so next you start to leave. But you walk by another room, where you see 2 older men, and they’re lying down, and one says, I am not doing very well, and the other nods.

Megan Mary: and then you felt even more urgency to keep going. So you did.

Lorree Appleby: just nodded. And and I was like, Okay, I gotta go.

Lorree Appleby: I don’t know how to help them or what’s going on here. And

Lorree Appleby: so then I just left

Megan Mary: and you all go outside

Megan Mary: you and some other people.
Lorree Appleby: Yeah, whoever? Yeah.

Megan Mary: not the 2 men, though they stayed there, they stayed. Yeah, yeah, they stayed.

Megan Mary: And I feel that the the 2 men stayed down there. because, as you alluded to that, possibly they are part of the ritual. But I feel just in general that they are overtaken by the

Megan Mary: the basement.
Lorree Appleby: Yeah, it felt like they they wouldn’t. They didn’t have enough energy to leave
Megan Mary: yes
Lorree Appleby: yeah. So I was just like, I can’t save you. I got to go. Kind of thing
Megan Mary: right, They’re not doing.
Lorree Appleby: I was like Yeah Okay Well, I gotta go, you know,
Megan Mary:with with what’s in the basement. And and you’re feeling very urgent, like I need to get out of here for my own good. Yeah. And I’m not going to stay and end up like them

Lorree Appleby: and rescue anybody.

Lorree Appleby: Now, outside there was a a big vehicle where all the people were going.

Lorree Appleby: Yeah. And it wasn’t like all a ton of people. It was like maybe

Lorree Appleby: less than

Lorree Appleby: 10 or something. It wasn’t tons of people or anything.

Megan Mary: So if I didn’t know. what would you say? A vehicle like that

Megan Mary: is for

Lorree Appleby: Well, I mean, I took it as some kind of like party bus, or limo or something, you know, being. yeah, that’s how I what? I thought it was, okay. Yeah.

Megan Mary: So then, you see a woman that you remembered from your past that you didn’t know that well. But you suddenly, you suddenly do know her.

Lorree Appleby: Yeah.

Megan Mary: so talk about her a little bit. What are the 3 adjectives you would use to describe her.

Lorree Appleby: She was fair skinned

Lorree Appleby: She was very

Lorree Appleby: like thin. but she was very beautiful, beautiful, and her hair was like brown, but it was just like really like kind of went up like this and back.

Lorree Appleby: and she just had a really nice nice bone structure

Lorree Appleby: and her personality.

Lorree Appleby: Mysterious, maybe. there’s something didn’t feel good about her like she was

Lorree Appleby: not

Lorree Appleby: She was just caught up in doing something she that wasn’t good for her, but she was doing it. I don’t know how to explain that kind of just going along with

Lorree Appleby: whatever. But she was somehow I don’t know part of it. So that’s the big part

Lorree Appleby: okay.

Lorree Appleby: yeah. And she was kind of surprised.

Lorree Appleby: Oh, I didn’t know you do these things, and I’m like what things. And I couldn’t, because I wasn’t sure if that was a bad ritual or a good cause it was I didn’t remember. And that’s why I said drugs like cocaine like what? Because I felt like it was someone I knew from a long, long like from like maybe teenagers.

Lorree Appleby: that stuff I dabbled. But yeah.

Megan Mary: and at that time, when you did that when you were a teenager. Did you feel like you were

Megan Mary: caught up doing something not good for you and going along?
Lorree Appleby: I didn’t want to. Yeah, yeah, I was doing it. But I wasn’t really feeling good about it. And it didn’t last long a couple of months. And I was like, I’m done

Megan Mary: so that’s exactly what she’s representing and why you responded that way to her, because that’s a situation in your life where you were going along with something that you didn’t feel was really something you wanted to do. And

Megan Mary: and the ritual also represents going along with something that you’re not sure if it’s good, or if it’s bad, but you’re there, and you’re being a a passive part of it, and you’re not.

Lorree Appleby: You have your reservations, your doubts.

Megan Mary: So she goes into the vehicle waiting for her.

Lorree Appleby: Yeah.

Megan Mary: And you feel again second time urgency to go back home and check on your husband. Now you say

Megan Mary: you expected that all along he was safe. So you really weren’t as much worried about his safety.

Megan Mary: You just wanted to tell him what you discovered.

Lorree Appleby: Well, that. And I felt like I just wanted to be back in safety, because this all felt really creepy and weird. And I just wanted to get home and get to him, too. Yeah. And to tell him, yeah, what was going on.

Lorree Appleby: Yeah.

Megan Mary: And so as you’re heading to your front door, some people drive up and start to go into the basement, but

Megan Mary: a different way.

Lorree Appleby: Well, they were kinda looking for the entrance, and it was like my

Lorree Appleby: instinct was that they were told that this was a like I don’t know an After hours club, or something like that, like it looked like they were already inebriated, and they were just going to the next spot, you know.

Lorree Appleby: and I think it was the entrance, the exit that I left.

Lorree Appleby: And and so that was like really close to my front entrance, which isn’t normally how my house is at all. Because but but yeah, it was. The exit was very close. So I, I didn’t want to deal with them, just wanted to get home. I just said, Yeah, it’s over there.

Megan Mary: And I, it’s important that it’s not like your existing house, because anytime something is

Megan Mary: different in your you take your current configuration, and then you notice, oh, it’s but it’s not like that. My basement was huge, and my door is not like that, or there was this other door. That is all very significant, and I really like that.

Megan Mary: They are drunk and just barhopping, basically, and that you send them where you came out. Yeah.

Lorree Appleby: And in a way, I felt a little bad about that, because I knew that that wasn’t a good place to be

Megan Mary: right, but they were drunk and or inebriated, and and you didn’t want them following you.
Lorree Appleby: Yes, that is true. I didin’t want them following me. I forgot about that part.

Megan Mary: That is all very significant, because they’re people that, they’re followers essentially

Megan Mary: much like maybe the people at the ritual, much like maybe, what Cheryl represented.

Megan Mary: alluding to a time in your life when you may have

Megan Mary: held that role. And these people are all just following, looking for the next thing and not paying attention. And you don’t want them to go where you’re going because you’ve left that behind you. So you just say, you know

Megan Mary: that way?

Lorree Appleby: Yeah, so that they

Megan Mary: are behind you as well and not following you so that you can leave those followers behind.

Lorree Appleby: So next, you finally make it to your front door

Megan Mary: and your husband’s there. but he’s in a really bad state.

Megan Mary: and he doesn’t say anything about what happened to him. And it doesn’t sound like, you ask him, either.

Megan Mary: explain that

Megan Mary: that’s scene a little bit more how it felt to be there at your front door.

Lorree Appleby: Well, I walked in. and I was inside with him, and I just looked at him, and I think I told you in the thing he had had so to shoulder surgery last year. Yeah.

Lorree Appleby: so

Lorree Appleby: I actually tomorrow is like the day he had shoulder surgery a year ago, anyhow. yeah, so it he. I just looked at him, and he like I said he didn’t look good. He looked bloody and no shirt, and

Lorree Appleby: and there his. He didn’t. He didn’t say anything about him. It was just very quickly. I looked at him, and then he said, Look what they did to Aries.

Lorree Appleby: That was it And I looked, and I screamed, no.

Lorree Appleby: So yeah, I didn’t really have a chance it was like look walked in, looked at him, and then he said, that that’s like the first things that came out of his mouth.

Megan Mary: And your dog.

Megan Mary: I find it interesting that you said first that you turned around.

Lorree Appleby: Yeah. So he’s like, when you walk in my front door.

Lorree Appleby: it’s a small landing. And then there’s this ledge right beside, and that’s where he was, and my husband was on this side, just up on this ledge.

Megan Mary: and the ledge is significant also, because what is the ledge

Megan Mary: like?

Lorree Appleby: Yeah. It’s the edge.

Megan Mary: yes. And so his.

Megan Mary: The dog’s head was

Megan Mary: okay, and was alive. And he had the toy in his mouth, does usually have a joy in his mouth? Okay.

Lorree Appleby: very often.
Megan Mary: The rest of him was not okay.

Lorree Appleby: Well, yeah, it was yeah like his

Lorree Appleby: just. I don’t know exactly that the rest of him was in in pieces right?

Megan Mary: And so you felt that your husband had had brought him there, but couldn’t put him back together.

Lorree Appleby: Yeah, like he tried to rescue him or

Lorree Appleby: or something.

Megan Mary: So what I draw from that is.

Megan Mary: That something has been fragmented.

Lorree Appleby: something that you love.

Megan Mary: that you don’t want

Megan Mary: to fall apart. And it

Megan Mary: it may or may not be your relationship. It could simply be a relationship with yourself

Megan Mary: that you see it is

Megan Mary: partly still alive, but also partly struggling to live, and

Megan Mary: I don’t know that it’s necessarily other people that are

Megan Mary: causing that harm necessarily because you, you do speculate that maybe it was the people in the basement.
Lorree Appleby: Look what they did

Megan Mary: but I think that what they did. Yeah, yeah. And I think if we if we look at the basement as a part of you and as a part of the depths of you. Then everyone that is in the basement is an aspect of you, and

Megan Mary: that you

Megan Mary: may be concerned that that you’re causing harm, or you may be concerned that your that things are

Megan Mary: falling apart and that you’re not.

Megan Mary: You’re looking for that security

Megan Mary: because you want to get back home. And there’s all that urgency to get back home so that you feel safe. And so that everything else is whole and overall.

Megan Mary: and that it you’re not sure if it was good or bad, but that you wanted to go check it out.

Megan Mary: but that

Megan Mary: it’s you’re not sure if your being like your old self.

Lorree Appleby: the Cheryl.

Megan Mary: that where you’re doing something

Megan Mary: not good for you

Lorree Appleby: and just following along.

Megan Mary: And you’re concerned that you you have a a deep concern that perhaps if you

Megan Mary: stay too long in your basement

Megan Mary: that that won’t be good for you, and you realize that you need to you. You want. Your instinct is to leave that to be safe.

Lorree Appleby: But

Megan Mary: as with everyone, there are things in their basement that they could do to get rid of.

Megan Mary: and so the fact that it’s much larger than usual, and that it has all these couches and chairs, and all these people, and all these rooms, and all this abstract things that are very bright.

Megan Mary: I think.

Megan Mary: as well as the presence of the other woman down there. I think that it’s telling you it’s okay to go into that basement that you don’t have to. You don’t have to be afraid.

Megan Mary: and that there are things for you there

Megan Mary: that are just for you, and you don’t need to follow the crowd that is going to get in the party bus. and that is looking for the next club. And that is

Megan Mary: following along with the event, that you might not really resonate with

Megan Mary: so

Megan Mary: on that note

Megan Mary: let’s draw a card and see what we get.

Lorree Appleby: there it ss Take your first step. Okay? I see it. Yeah, I see it. Now perfectly.

Lorree Appleby: Yeah.

Megan Mary: And just look at the imagery and see what it
Lorree Appleby: a big, long time.

Lorree Appleby: There’s someone weaving. There’s a couple of other people. There’s trees off in the distance in a pasture. I’m waving to that person

Lorree Appleby: if that’s, me, I guess

Megan Mary: sun rising or setting I’m not sure.

Lorree Appleby: Yeah. Hmm, so I would say that this

Megan Mary: is your chance to now

Megan Mary: embark on on your own path.

Megan Mary: stop feeling, like.

Megan Mary: you need to

Megan Mary: follow what other people are doing.

Megan Mary: begin down your own path. Take your first step

Megan Mary: down your own path.

Megan Mary: And you’ll find that in doing so you will be more authentic and more deep. and be open to that new experience where you’re not

Megan Mary: feeling inauthentic

Megan Mary: and feeling not deep

Megan Mary: because you’re following something that’s not

Megan Mary: resonating. Let me know.

Lorree Appleby: Yeah.

Lorree Appleby: So this might shine some light on things

Lorree Appleby: the trip that I did go on it was actually was very, very aligned. and it it’s it’s actually putting me into going on a journey, a path. And I keep getting this message of like, I’m about to start an apprenticeship. And and so when I come back home

Lorree Appleby: it feels like I’ve changed, but things are still not the kind of the same. But you know, when you’re in a relationship that that you know, he’s kind of doing his own thing, and and he supports me, respects me, wants me to live, you know. Follow my follow what I’m called to do.

Lorree Appleby: but he’s having his own struggles with his personal stuff.

Lorree Appleby: And so there’s been And then also just coming back. And just I, I feel like I’m I’m different

Lorree Appleby: so I feel a little bit different, you know, just being around the same things, but but I am feeling confident and and good about it all. it’s just like an adjustment. I think for myself, yeah.

Lorree Appleby: And and I do wonder, you know, is he gonna be good, is he? Gonna you know, health wise and and that kind of thing. So that. And then same with my dog, because he’s got a few things going on, too. So between the 2 of them

Lorree Appleby: it’s it kind of weighs on me sometimes, but I obviously don’t want to entertain negative thoughts, but they come up.

Megan Mary: Sure you want to feel secure enough about your base that you can go on this new journey, and that’s what you need to take that first step.

Megan Mary: And by meeting that woman in the basement that was so brought you such relief, and that you felt such trust with.

Megan Mary: That is what you need to embrace. That’s the the message that is in your depths is that there is this reassuring trusting

familiar

Megan Mary: smiling welcoming

Megan Mary: presence. that’s going to be going with you on your journey, yeah.

Lorree Appleby: yeah.

Lorree Appleby: yeah, you interpret it way different than I interpreted it

Lorree Appleby: I like your version better.

Lorree Appleby: Well, thank you. Yeah, no. But obviously you’re the professional, and those old men are where they just like.

Lorree Appleby: going out of there

Megan Mary: on here on your path.

Lorree Appleby: right? Right? Not being able to like, get up and leave and walk out, yeah, okay, yeah, it’s yeah. There.

Megan Mary: they’re week, because of

Megan Mary: they’re overwhelmed

Megan Mary: by the basement.

Lorree Appleby: Yeah. okay, that makes sense.

Lorree Appleby: Yeah.

Megan Mary: All right. Well, thank you so much for sharing your dream, and I hope you enjoyed my interpretation, and I hope you do begin now and and take take your next step.

Lorree Appleby: Oh, yeah, I absolutely am. And it’s just. It’s amazing how like I’m just getting more and more confirmations.

Lorree Appleby: that I’m starting something new and that kind of thing. So another good conversation. It definitely doesn’t feel like a nightmare anymore.

Megan Mary: That’s transformation. That’s good.
Lorree Appleby: So is that what nightmares are all about?
Megan Mary: all of our dreams are

Megan Mary: when we dream our logical mind is turned off, our emotional minds turn on. And so all of our emotions are very strong

Megan Mary: when we’re dreaming. And of course, nightmares are have the strongest

Megan Mary: impact. And that’s because the message is meant to get through when we have recurring dreams. It’s because we’re not addressing. What’s

Megan Mary: that scenario, that situation, that that story. And when we have nightmares they’re powerful and and upsetting because they want us to hear the message.

Lorree Appleby: Right? Okay, that makes sense. And by

Megan Mary: understanding that message and unearthing what it’s saying, we it. We do dis dissolve it as a nightmare. We do learn that

Megan Mary: from the depths we come into the light. And that’s why we I call it the eclipse, because we’re essentially walking into that darkness. But then here comes that little sliver of light, and it’s coming more and more and the more that we see what it’s saying and what it means for us, and that there is hope that there is a message. Then the more the light starts to come to us, and the more we allow the light in.

Lorree Appleby: Right? Okay? Yeah. Cause I definitely interpreted everything at the end of was not good.

Lorree Appleby: You know, when I scream no. And

Lorree Appleby: all of that. So

Lorree Appleby: yeah. it’s good to have a good spin on it.

Megan Mary: Good and

Lorree Appleby: Thank you
Megan Mary: yes, you’re welcome very much.

Megan Mary: and thank you for sharing your dream so that we could all benefit from it. Really appreciate that

Lorree Appleby: my pleasure. Thank you.
