When I arrived at Wheeler Farm yesterday to visit David, I noticed he was sunbathing! I think it is great he is feeling comfortable enough to be in a more vulnerable position lying down in his pen!
He is the most friendly soul. And his fur is fluffing up! It seems the more love he is shown and the more trusting he becomes, the more his fur relaxes. You can visit him for free if you are near Salt Lake City!
I (M35) dreamed I was in the upper floor of a blue house. I saw a man come in and he was in good shape and wearing a black shirt. He was poor and I was paying him not much to rent his room. He left and I went to sleep on a bed in the middle of the room. I got the sense that guy was also me.
I got up a while later and felt I did not deserve to sleep in that room. So I went outside and tried to sleep in front of the house. Then, I looked under the house and I saw there was just dirt - no foundation. I think the front of the house was a facade and much of the first story was missing even. The part that was there only had a dirt floor. I sensed there was an energy field emitted from below the house near the center.
I went back inside and there were two women. One had golden hair and looked rather elegant and fancy. But she was kinda mean and saw me as lesser or disheveled. She seemed to like the impoverished but more grounded guy who had been here earlier. There was another more ordinary looking woman in a black shirt in another room.
They wanted me to go sleep in that other room. This peeved me, causing me to become lucid and I took control of the dream. I argued with the golden woman, who I felt was actually quite nasty despite appearing high in status. I think she was disappointed that I could be so much more, and her criticism was a misguided way of trying to get me to become my higher self.
He is very friendly and loving. If you live near Salt Lake City, maybe you can visit Wheeler Historic Farm (it's free!) and say hi.
Dave is a very friendly and intelligent donkey. I think it is very healing for people to be able to establish a connection with a wonderful donkey like David. Kudos to Salt Lake County, Utah for having a donkey. He has two mini-horse friends. But I wish they would get him a donkey friend too.
I had a powerful dream regarding my inner child. My inner child is the part of me that is authentically me, and that bears the wounds of my childhood. I was in a full-sized black and white train (maybe like a prison), but it was doing loops on a roller coaster track. Weirdly, I did not feel g-force though.
I saw my inner child. He did not look like me, but instead he looked like a kid with ADHD I knew in elementary school. He was kind of wild in appearance, with a sort of almost feral energy. But he had matured and he was now a teenager. He had also become more restrained and he had composure, eloquence, and self-control.
He was sad because he was being controlled too much, being confined to this train. A middle-aged white woman was there, I suppose to nurture and watch him. My dad was there too, although he did not actively participate in the dream. I felt he was perhaps still passively exerting some control on the situation. Maybe he symbolized Freud's idea of the super-ego.
I felt sympathy for my inner child. He talked about wanting to go wind surfing or do other things. I wondered if he could be given more autonomy.
I learned my inner child's name is Ian, or perhaps it was Eon. That felt right, like he was the less conditioned part of me that was eternally me.
The county I live in has a donkey at a park the public can interact with. He is super smart and friendly. The county seems to generally treat him well, but I noticed he seems like his smarts are going to waste. Are there toys or other things that would be good for the donkey's enrichment?
One of the county employees seems open to the idea this donkey could use some intellectual stimulation. So I wanted to see if there were specific recommendations I should make to the county. Thanks!
