Nursing babies

[susan]

Woke up this am hearing a song being sung.
" no matter what you can do, no matter what you cann't do, just keep them laughing"
This was lovely and very relevant to last night feeling there was too much for me to do and I couldn't do it all and was getting bit stressed.

Dream
Well I've written of Harry Potter type dream before but this time yesterday morning this was a lovely Alice In Wonderland quick sketch.
I'm in a lovely cottage in countryside when I walk out into the garden full of flowers. I walk down the path to the small gate and there is an archway made from ivy before the gate. There is an identical path a few yards away within the same garden with the same ivy archway. First of all I see a beautiful large bird the size of a large cat.It has a very flat head with pointed ears or feathers where the ears would be. It was lovely to look at and I stood admiring it when I look into the second Ivy archway and see a giant mole?rat?the size of a man standing upright. I wasn't frightened at all and shouted to my hubby to come and look at it. He didn't want to so as I walked towards it I saw the most beautiful coloured feathers as a tail. " your not a rat at all your a COCKATOO" I said to it.
As I walked back into the cottage I looked back and it had moved away and was on a bicycle cycling down the road.

Now I think there is loads in here to interpret but I need a bit of help here.
Points to note....
The double path
The bird
The rat/ mole
The cockatoo.( it didn't even resemble one but that's what I said in my dream)
The bicycle

Bit of info I've said before that I feel my weakness's have been pointed out and recently have been really trying to put myself in other peoples shoes and understand what it may be like for them and why they feel this or do that. Sympathetic is the word.

The night before I did colourful visual exercises . Could this have been why the colour was very vivid?
I used to cut up fruit in the exercise but now I make a ratatouille.
Deep aubergine colour,white inside,red pepper,green pepper, yellow pepper, green courgette, mushroom, onion brown skin white inside

Even if this dream was indicating a negative side to me I don't care.
I loved it . Bit like a child getting a bedtime story and visualising the characters.

Note)
This am was just starting to think of the meaning of the cockatoo when I picked up,
" a Cockatoo steps into the Mystery of Being Unknown."

This would start to make sense, the second path parallel to the one I was walking. The part or parts of me that I don't consciously know but are in the shadow( background) living a parallel life? The cockatoo representing the mystery of these lives.
The bicycle, maybe a need for balance or there is a good balance between the mystery of not knowing and wanting to know.( after all he was riding well on the bicycle) not sure about this last bit.
But then could it have a double meaning,trying to see the beauty ( cockatoo) in something that on the outside doesn't look beautiful?
