However, I did have some dreams that on, she noticed that the top and skirt are of night and an argument could be made that the different materials and also different prints. The pictorial images arising from my unconscious would skirt wraps around the front and someone wonders provide a more potent source of energy transmis whether the skirt wi II stay open in the front. The sion than would the conscious awareness of the dreamer also realizes she forgot to bring her graphic properties of the photograph. And then Chinese shoes to wear with some dress. These we get into the issue as to whether it's relevant images and some other relevant ones appeared in to even conceptualize the process as a causal the dreams she recorded on Nov. 16-17, the night stimulus--response type of connection. she thought the contest was to take place. There were some unusual and statistically Mary's correspondences were precognitive because unlikely correspondences between DNB dreamers the project didn't get underway until the next that had no apparent I inkage to the photo or my night. Her dreams the next night involved dreams.

The overall result was a blending or fusion of images without clear boundaries and which resist reduction to demarcated elements. However, I'll make a crude effort to unravel the skein of tangled tt:lreads that emerged. Let me begin by providing the description and associations I wrote about the photo during my initial period of concentration: "This is a Cuna woman from the San Bias Islands of Panama. She wears the traditional mola blouse, gold nose ring, large gold earrings, gold finger rings, and has elaborate bead work on her legs and arms. Her tribe believes in an Earth Mother and the large metal pot is used to brew an alcoholic beverage that is drunk at puberty ceremonies when a local girl reaches menarche. The young boy with the strained look, who is standing on the pot, wears a necklace of animal teeth. The other boy timidly looks out from the interior of the thatched palm leaf house. These palm leaves provide good protection from the rain. This is actually a council house where town meetings are held and where rei igious ceremonies take place. The slats in the wall are from black palm wood. I associate flute music and rattle Rita Dwyer (Vienna, VA) described a skirt sounds with the dancing that accompanies the that someone had shortened for her and mentioned ceremonies.
