FLOWERS FOR THE GODDESS

 

RASA'S DREAM & INTERPRETATION

 

I was in some sort of a 'bazaar' or outdoor mall in India, where there were nothing but flowers all around, hundreds of thousands of them, and they were all red, mixed with shades of orange and yellow. There were no in-between shades like burgundy, purple, magenta, they were as stated, true red, scarlet, real red with hints of orange and yellow here and there, everywhere you looked.

 

These flowers were being bought for a Goddess Celebration, as Her feast day was upon us. This is India, by the way. But here is the unusual thing:

ALL THE FLOWERS ARE ARTIFICIAL.

 

I am staring at them, and the huge size of some of them is noted. I see one that looks like a sort of Calla lily, with a stamen in the middle, and it is a foot across. It has a second leaf sort of curling in the middle of it, and it is very red. These flowers are cheap, but the people in India are so poor, that there are a few who cannot afford them.

 

I see some of these poor women, in saris, with maybe children around them, sad returning from the feast. There is a kind of darkness from which they return, down the mall, as if down the mall, it sort of went into what would look like an underground railroad tunnel or something, and they are returning.

 

I was thinking we were in daylight, but the next activity shows me we are not. I am now leaving the mall, and following two Indian women in saris, who know the ins and outs of this place. We go up a narrow stone stairway, where it forks off left and right. One woman exits right, here there is another staircase, and the other goes left, through a narrow passageway. I follow the one going left and notice how she shudders as she passes through the cold here.

 

I am thinking this woman is used to a warm climate, but I had experienced so much cold where I am, it doesn't bother me as much.

MEANING

'I was in some sort of a 'bazaar' or outdoor mall in India, where there were nothing but flowers all around, hundreds of thousands of them, and they were all red, mixed with shades of orange and yellow. There were no in-between shades like burgundy, purple, magenta, they were as stated, true red, scarlet, real red with hints of orange and yellow here and there, everywhere you looked.'

 

MEANING: THESE COLORS REPRESENT, IN THE CONTEXT OF THIS DREAM, FRESH OR NEW SUFFERINGS, (SACRIFICES, BLOOD) AND THEY INDICATE SEXUAL SLANDER (SCARLET, SCARLET WOMAN) AND SENSATIONALISM (YELLOW JOURNALISM)

 

 

'These flowers were being bought for a Goddess Celebration, as Her feast day was upon us. This is India, by the way. But here is the unusual thing:

ALL THE FLOWERS ARE ARTIFICIAL.'

 

MEANING: TO GIVE GOD AN ARTIFICIAL FLOWER RATHER THAN A REAL FLOWER IS, IN THE CONTEXT OF THE DREAM, AN INSULT RATHER THAN A BLESSING OR PRASAD. IT IS A 'FAKE' GIFT, AND SO THEREFORE, IT IS HURTING THE GODDESS RATHER THAN HONORING HER.

 

A FEAST DAY, IN THIS CONTEXT, THEN, WOULD BE A DAY OF INSULTS, A DAY OF PAIN FOR THE GODDESS RATHER THAN ONE OF LOVE AND HONOR.

 

 

'I am staring at them, and the huge size of some of them. I see one that looks like a sort of open flat Calla lily, with a stamen in the middle, and it is a foot across. It has a second leaf sort of curling in the middle of it, and it is very red. These flowers are cheap, but the people in India are so poor, that there are a few who cannot afford them.'

 

MEANING: THE DESCRIPTION OF THIS LILY GAVE ME THE CLUE TO THE ENTIRE DREAM. IT IS WHAT IS CALLED THE 'KEY SYMBOL' THAT UNLOCKED THE DREAM. I KNOW THAT LILIES REPRESENT CHASTITY, BUT THIS ONE IS RED, SO IT IS THE OPPOSITE. IT ALSO HAS A STAMEN INSIDE IT (PENIS) AND IT HAS A SECOND LEAF (LIKE THE SKIN OF A VAGINA) AND IT HAS A MOIST BUT WILTED QUALITY TO PART OF IT. THIS WAS THE INSULT TO THE GODDESS THAT SHE IS A 'WHORE,' THAT SHE HAS HAD SEX WITH SO MANY MEN (MOISTNESS) THAT SHE IS 'USED UP' OR 'WILTED' (OLD WHORE). THE RED SHOWS THE PAIN OR 'SACRIFICIAL QUALITY' OF THIS INSULT.

 

CHEAP FLOWERS SAYS 'CHEAP SHOTS' OR INSULTS THAT ARE EASY TO DISH OUT.

 

 

'I see some of these poor women, in saris, with maybe children around them, sad returning from the feast. There is a kind of darkness from which they return, down the mall, as if down the mall, it sort of went into what would look like an underground railroad tunnel or something, and they are returning.'

 

MEANING: THE POOR WOMEN ARE THE FEW WOMEN, LIKE MY FRIEND MELODY, WHO WERE ACTUALLY SAD FROM THE CRUELTY OF THOSE WHO INSULTED THE GODDESS IN THE FORM OF THIS BODY (MY OWN BODY.) THAT IS WHAT THE DREAM IS ABOUT - THE 'ROASTING' OR 'INSULT CELEBRATION' THAT WAS BEING CONDUCTED ON ONE GROUP, FOR QUITE A WHILE. THE ARTIFICIAL FLOWERS WERE THE INSULTS EVERYONE BROUGHT, BUT A FEW PEOPLE DID NOT 'BUY' THESE FLOWERS, OR DID NOT INSULT THE GODDESS IN MY FORM.

 

RETURNING SADLY FROM THE 'TUNNEL VISION' OR 'TUNNEL OF DARKNESS' IS THE DARK MENTAL STATE OF THOSE WHO PARTICIPATED IN THE INSULTS.

 

 

'I was thinking we were in daylight, but the next activity shows me we are not. We were actually underground two flights down!'

 

MEANING: TO BE BELOW GROUND, TWO FLIGHTS DOWN, IS AN INDICATION OF PURGATORY. IT IS A PLACE OF BEING BLOCKED OR 'COVERED' WHERE ONE IS NOT DIRECTLY SEEING GOD. IT IS A PLACE OF SPIRITUAL DARKNESS AND PENANCE. AS WAS SAID, THIS REFERRED TO A HYSTERICAL INSULT BASH ON, ACCORDING TO THIS DREAM, THE GODDESS, BUT IT REPRESENTS THE DREAMER IN THE FLESH WHO ENDURED IT FOR HER.

 

 

'I am now leaving the mall, and following two Indian women in saris, who know the ins and outs of this place. We go up a narrow stone stairway, where it forks off left and right. One woman exits right, here there is another staircase, and the other goes left, through a narrow passageway. I follow the one going left and notice how she shudders as she passes through the cold here.'

 

MEANING: THE COLD REFERS TO LACK OF LOVE, OR COLDHEARTED TREATMENT TOWARD THE GODDESS.

 

THE WOMAN WHO SHUDDERS IS THE ONE I FOLLOW MEANS WE BOTH UNDERSTAND COLDHEARTED ACTIONS. I DO NOT FEEL THE PAIN AS MUCH BECAUSE I HAVE ENDURED SO MUCH OF IT. THIS WOMAN COULD BE S'S PARTNER A, OR IT COULD BE MELODY, WHO WAS THE ONLY FEMALE WHO CONSISTENTLY DEFENDED ME.

 

THE WOMAN WHO GOES RIGHT - BUT AWAY FROM ME - MIGHT BE 'A'. SHE UNDERSTOOD AND SYMPATHIZED, BUT SHE LEFT ME IN THE SENSE THAT SHE DID NOT WANT TO BE INVOLVED ANY MORE, AND SAID SHE WAS GOING INTO THE SILENCE. SO SHE GOES TO GOD, BUT AWAY FROM ME.

 

 

I am thinking this woman is used to a warm climate, but I had experienced so much cold where I am, it doesn't bother me as much.

 

MEANING: THIS AGAIN SAYS THAT WARM AND COLD COME FROM LOVE OR LACK OF IT.
