Dreams

I had a dream that I was in a forest, the deep woods. I could see the sun shining through the tree tops. I was surrounded by animals; deer, rabbits, a woodpecker and an owl. I feel like snow white when she gets lost in the trees after eating the poison apple and wakes up scared but then realizes there is no danger. I am safe surrounded by the most friendly animals. They can see me wandering; they are curious as to how I got there. I found a path, not a man made path; maybe somebody has been here before. So I followed it. Now I can hear the water. My instincts bring me to a rushing stream. I have found my way out of the forest and into a beautiful valley. Upstream is a steep waterfall; it flows overtop of smooth dark rock, I could slide down it if I wanted. I feel the water it is warm and crystal clear. There are logs that fall over top of the steam; somebody else has taken that path. I could cross to the other side and keep hiking uphill but I decide to follow the water. To my left the stream continues down the valley almost as far as I can see. I take of my shoes and feel the soft green grass on my feet. I feel as though I am the only person around for miles. This place is so peaceful. I feel compelled to explore it. Who knows what else I will find. I walk along the valley and the stream disappears from my view for a moment. I wish I had a canoe with me; then I could have followed it. I come to a lake; I'm standing at the edge of a cliff an I can see where the stream flows into the lake just ahead. I feel a warm breeze; and the wind makes small waves on the water. The lake must be deep because I can't see the bottom. I imagine myself jumping off the cliff, but I'm not ready to just yet. I think I see a building of some kind on the other side of the lake. I have to walk around. When I get there - it looks familiar. A log cabin by the lake. There is nobody around so I walk around the front porch to the door and go inside. I've been here before I'm sure. All the rooms are wide open, there is a loft just up the stairs. And a wood fireplace in the middle. I go stand by the big window at the front and look out at the view. A lake surrounded by cliffs; a valley with a wide stream that disappears into an endless forest. This place is so cozy and inviting. I put another couple of pieces of wood into the fire. I feel completely relaxed; I fall asleep in the most wonderful way possible. Like after a long day. The dream ends. I wonder what it all means?
