Welcome to Dream Interpretation for Dummies, where Dear Abby meets Native Americana. Come to the campfire, peer into the yawning grave, and take a dive into the collective subconscious… or maybe just explore some weird clown imagery. We’ll wait for you here.

Dear Dreamers,
I was not expecting to come to you like this today.
Let me explain. In the interest of full transparency, the technology gods? spirits? gathered assembled gnomes? have not been with me this week. At all. In fact, it feels like they’re actively working against me, which is perhaps something I’m clinging to to make myself feel better. But still. It’s been confusing and weird and I somehow lost an entire interpreted dream that was basically wrapped in a bow and ready to be sent on-time and spiritually potent to your inboxes. How did this happen? No idea. None. Whatsoever. I’m not a tech genius, but I work with documents and spreadsheets and Google Docs almost every day! And I’ve never lost one of them! Ever!
Well. What can you do? I’ll tell you what I did – at first – I laid on the floor listening to Fleetwood Mac and felt very, very extremely sorry for myself. It was kind of pitiful and I felt justified in every moment. Then, I sat up, paused Lindsey Buckingham’s finger-picking, and decided that the universe was trying to tell me something, albeit in my mind a little heavy handedly, and I needed to adjust my approach. That I needed to offer you, and myself, something different, and that the dream would come back when it was supposed to come back, no sooner and no later.
So, let us go, hand in lovable hand, into a reading, with a quick repeat for my Instagram followers.
A VALENTINE’S DAY READING:
The Hierophant (Reversed): Reject tradition! Especially cycles of love that have brought about bitterness and regret! It is time to forge a new path forward – even if that takes you away from family steps and lineage. Voice what has been left unspoken, even if it’s just a quick “I love you!” Love is not, as we know, a frilly fleeting feeling, but instead a holy responsibility we take on each day! How lucky we are!
Hope – The Lovers – Spring brings the blessing of the inner and outer selves meeting. Currently, we feel bound to tradition, to popular interpretations, but those shackles shall melt as the snow melts. Are you prepared for it?
Cleanse – The Fool (Reversed) – We will discard a dismissal of our instincts, a hesitation when we know, deep down, that the time is right.
Grow – IX of Pentacles – An awareness is taking shape inside of you, one that acknowledges the goodness of life around you, and what deserves your attention. Do not be afraid if this means things, and relationships, begin to dissolve, for they are simply making way for what was meant to grow all along.
Rest – Knight of Pentacles (Reversed) – Do not pressure yourself to uncover the hidden strengths and gifts that you feel inside of yourself, for they will be there when you are ready, they will not rot on the vine. This is not to say that they should remain hidden, but instead that your efforts, for now, are best turned towards rest, relaxation, and parenting yourself gently, until spring arrives.
I would love to know what resonated with you — if anything — and how you’re doing this week. I hope you can feel my love for you, even through the screen.
XO XO XO,
Howdy
