29 .2.3.4>31

Hi Folks

Grateful for any thoughts on the above.

My question was regarding the significance of a recurring dream i'm having. The dream, which i'm having a couple of times a week has me searching for a wellspring in an old roman ruin. I find the well and take water from it, bathing my head in it in but not drinking.

The main thing i've got going on in my life at the moment is deciding to pursue a doctorate with the eventual aim of getting a teaching job. The whole thing is filling a lot of my waking thoughts.

Thanks in advance for any input.

Hello Raven Kind, your most welcome here

My question was regarding the significance of a recurring dream i'm having. The dream, which i'm having a couple of times a week has me searching for a wellspring in an old roman ruin. I find the well and take water from it, bathing my head in it in but not drinking.

im interested in the part of this dream that your bathing your head in water. its almost a 29 type image. from the Wikiwing here:

Holding fast the heart creates success – there is nothing else to hold fast to! As if you were dropped into deep waters, there’s nothing solid to grasp ‘out there’, no anchor points. (So often this hexagram is a response to people seeking a kind of external security that just doesn’t exist.) Holding fast your heart is the way of heng, of making an offering that’s well-received.

Seems like your really feeling trapped and stuck about this doctorate. alot of overthinking is going on, and i think you havent really decided on it yet. the thing with 29 is that if you make a sincere offering, if you really commit yourself and decide, really decide this path is the one for you,then you can get out of the pit. But you have to move, you must decide to get from where you are now to the next part of your journey.

line 2 says you can only work out this major indecision in small increments. try to break down why your undecided, think things through little by little, little problem solving. You want to get the big picture straight away, but when you in the pit, small honest truth and small steps are needed primarily.

line 3 says your worrying yourslef into an even deeper hole. maybe your anxious and overanalysing everything over and over, when your in the pit thats bound to happen, this line says you really need to relax. really relax and rest, try to not htink of the massive life changing patterns this doctorate will offer oyu, again like line 2, you need to slow down and take this in small solvable problems rather then taking on this like a whole new world.

Line 4 says that you can figure this out. you already have an 'opening', there is some idea you have that sincere and true that can help you figure this out. its a little light in this pit, grab it, hold onto it. this is how you can decide.it might mean that outside help is needed, or will be offered soon. you need to discuss this with someone, or someone will help you figure this out.

31 i think is saying you need to trust the attraction. or you will receive some kind of mutual support around this, it also suggest that you might have to stop thinking so much about htis, to let in the attraction, like you need to have an empty space inside your head regarding this to receive the knowledge/help you need.

ill just add that chris lofting has 29>31 as expressing commitment. Your undecided. you need to commit to one direction i think is what its saying.

I hope this helps,

Yx
